Upper respiratory tract (URT) absorption of several compounds with differing water solubilities and potentials to cause lesions of the nasal mucosa was studied in rats. Uptake of propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME), PGME ace tate ester (PGMEAc), ethyl acrylate (EA), epichlorohydrin (EPI), styrene (STY), nitroethane (NE), ethylene dibromide (EDB) and methylene chloride (MeCl2) vapors by the isolated URT were compared with the uptake of these compounds by the iso lated lower respiratory tract (LRT) and whole animal. Nearly all PGME, PGMEAc and 30-70% of EA, EPI, STY, NE and EDB were absorbed by the URT. Similar levels were absorbed by the LRT and whole animal except for STY (>90% absorbed). It was estimated that intact animals received between 19% (MeClp) and 47% (PGME) of its total dose via the URT. Further, the dosage per unit surface area of URT was as much as 500 times that of the LRT. This absorption was observed to be quantita tively related to the blood/air partition coefficient of these compounds. Ab sorption of chemical by the URT, however, did not correlate with the ability of compounds to cause lesions of the nasal mucosa.

ABSTRACT
Upper respiratory tract (URT) absorption of several compounds with differing water solubilities and potentials to cause lesions of the nasal mucosa was studied in rats. Uptake of propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME), PGME acetate ester (PGMEAc), ethyl acrylate (EA), epichlorohydrin (EPI), styrene (STY), nitroethane (NE), ethylene dibromide (EDB) and methy lene chloride (MeCl2) vapors by the isolated URT were compared with the up take of these compounds by the isolated lower respiratory tract (LRT) and whole animal. Nearly all PGME, PGMEAc and 30-70% of EA, EPI, STY, NE and EDB were absorbed by the URT. Similar levels were absorbed by the LRT and whole animal except for STY (>90% absorbed). It was estimated that intact animals received between 19% (MeCl2) and 47% (PGME) of its total dose via the URT. Further, the dosage per unit surface area of URT was as much as 500 times that of the LRT. This absorption was observed to be quantita tively related to the blood/air partition coefficient of these compounds. Absorption of chemical by the URT, however, did not correlate with the ability of compounds to cause lesions of the nasal mucosa. Several predic tive pharmacokinetic models were developed for uptake of chemicals by various regions of the respiratory tract.

INTRODUCTION
The mucosa of the upper respiratory tract (URT) of rodents has been observed to be a frequent target tissue of inhaled chemicals. Compounds fall Into two general categories; those causing a nonspecific degeneration of epithelium (e.g., ethylene dibromide), and those causing primarily lesions of the olfactory neuroepithelium (e.g., ethyl acrylate) (Nitschke et al_., 1981; Miller et al_., 1980). Unlike the lesions produced by several nonspecific nasal mucosal toxicants (e.g. formaldehyde), lesions of the olfactory epithelium have not been observed to progress to neoplasia.
The URT functions as a first line of defense In preventing potentially harmful chemical vapors from reaching the lower respiratory tract (LRT). Described by Brain (1970) as an efficient "scrubbing tower", the URT directs inhaled air into close contact with a mucosa richly supplied with fenestrated capillaries (Swindle, 1935; Proctor and Swift, 1977). Not sur prisingly, the URT has been observed to absorb large amounts of respiratory irritants such as ozone, formaldehyde, mustard gas, acrolein, hydrogen fluoride and sulfur dioxide (Brain, 1970; Feron et al_., 1978; Giddens and Fairchild, 1972; Cameron et al., 1946; Aharonson et al_., 1974; Spiezer and Frank, 1966; Egle, 1972; Morris and Smith, 1982). This absorption is gen erally believed to be related to the water solubility and reactivity of the inhaled compounds (Aharonson et aK, 1974; Morgan and Frank, 1977).
In order to better assess the potential human risk of exposure to com pounds causing lesions of the URT mucosa in obligate nasal breathing ro dents, there is a need for additional information regarding; 1) potential

physicochemical factors controlling chemical absorption by the URT, 2) the relationship of chemical absorption to the development of specific lesions of the URT mucosa, and 3) the role the URT plays relative to the LRT in the absorption of chemicals by the entire respiratory tract. The purpose of the present study was to provide this information in rats for several com pounds of differing water solubilities and potential to cause lesions of the URT (Table 1).

METHODS AND MATERIALS
Chemicals. Ethyl acrylate (EA; Lot #EJS 11-9-77; >99% pure) was obtained from
Rohm and Haas Co., Philadelphia, PA, nltroethane (NE; Lot #8020-513; >97% pure) was obtained from International Minerals Co., Terre Haute, IN, and methylene chloride (MeClg; Lot #AE411; >99% pure) was obtained from Burdick and Jackson Laboratories Inc., Muskegon, MI. Styrene (STY; Lot #11-30-81), eplchlorohydrin (EPI; Lot #TP-073k), ethylene dibromide (EDB; production grade), propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME; Lot #810310-25) and its acetate ester (PGMEAC; Lot #DPC 203-23) were all obtained from the Dow Chemical Company, Midland, MI, and were >99% pure.
Animals. ! Male Fischer 344 rats (200-260 g), obtained from Charles River Breed
ing Laboratories (Portage, MI) were utilized in all experiments. Animals were pair housed in environmentally controlled rooms (232C, 5015% rela tive humidity, 12 hour photoperiod), fed Purina Certified Rodent Chow (Ralston Purina, St. Louis, M0) and given water ad libitum, and acclimated at least 7 days prior to use.
For all experiments rats were anesthetized (60 mg/kg sodium pentobar bital, ip.), were shorn of facial hair, and had their mouths sealed using surcjlcal clips. The level of anesthesia maintained throughout experiments (approximately stage 3, level 2) resulted in respiratory minute volumes of 53_+3 ml /min as determined by plethysmography (Landry et al., 1982).

Procedures. Atmospheres of 75 ppm EDB, 100 ppm EPI, 200 ppm STY, 225 ppm EA, 500
ppm MeCl2 1000 ppm NE, 1000 ppm PGME and 1000 ppm PGMEAc were used in all experiments. These exposure levels represented those reportedly causing URT lesions in rat bioassays (where applicable) and were absorbed by intact animals at rates directly proportional to exposure levels. Concentrations of these compounds were quantitated using appropriate standards with a Varian Model 1500 gas chromatograph (GC) (Palo Alto, CA) equipped with a 1 ml loop injector, a 1 foot SS 1/8 In. ID column packed with 10% Carbowax 1500 on Chromasorb WH-P (Supelco, Inc., Bellefonte, PA) (column temperature varied between compounds) and a flame Ionization detector (20 ml/mln He carrier gas at 180C). Rates of absorption or excretion of the inhalant by an animal were determined upon reaching a constant level using equations (1) or (2) respectively: (a = moles chemical/mole effluent gas; b = moles chemical/mole test atmosphere; c = 1/min flow rate; d = 24.45 1/mole).

' Absorption of Inhaled compounds by the intact respiratory tract was investigated by exposing individual anesthetized rats in a small, nose-only chamber equipped with a tight fitting polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cuff which was fastened around the animal's snout. Test atmospheres were pumped (Fluid Metering Inc., Oyster Bay, NY) through the nose-only apparatus at a rate of 150 ml/min and then through a flow meter (Gilmont Inc., Great Neck, NY) and to the GC.
Absorption and excretion of inhaled chemicals by the isolated URT or LRT of rats were Investigated in double tracheostomlzed, anesthetized rats much as has been described by Morris and Smith (1982) (Dia. 1). The caudal endotracheal tube (PE 200; Clay Adams, New York, NY) extended out of the trachea approximately 1.5 cm, ending inside a 1/8 inch I.D. Y-intersectlon. A gas flow of 150 ml/min was maintained through this intersection Into the GC via Teflon tubing (1/8 in ID). For LRT absorption studies, the gas in take line was attached to a Saran gas bag containing the desired atmos phere. To determine LRT excretion of compounds this end was left open to room air.
To determine URT absorption of compounds, the cephalad endotracheal tube (PE 160) was attached to the GC via a flow meter and pump (Dia. 1). A unidirectional 50-60 ml/min or 100-110 ml/min gas stream was thus main tained from the nares (mouth clipped shut) to the trachea. A PVC cuff was firmly secured about the animals snout on one end and attached to a Saran gas bag containing the test atmosphere on the other. To measure excretion

of chemicals by the URT the same gas flow was maintained but in the oppo site direction (trachea to nares), the intake was of room air and the out flow to the GC was via a Teflon line in place of the gas bag at one end of the PVC cuff.
Using these data, the "dose" of chemical received by the animal via the URT and LRT was estimated using equations (3) and (4) respectively (e = moles absorbed by URT/t; f moles passing into animal/t; g = fraction ab sorbed; t=time). In the normal animal, exposure of the URT to test atmo sphere occurs primarily during inhalation (i.e. approximately one-half the time of exposure), thus the URT "dose" was multiplied times 0.5t. The dose received by the whole animal was also calculated (equation 5):
moles absorbed = (f) (g) (0.5t) by URT
moles absorbed = (f-e) (g) (t) by LRT
moles absorbed = (f) (g) (t) by whole animal

To better understand the factors controlling URT absorption of chemi cal vapors, as well as the interrelationship of the Isolated URT, LRT and the intact respiratory system, a kinetic model was constructed to simulate

the absorption and excretion rates observed in these experiments. The model was based on partitioning of the chemical between blood and air, and the partition coefficient for a given chemical was considered to be identi cal in the URT, LRT and Intact respiratory system. When compound instabil ities prohibited measurement of blood/air partition coefficients, water/air values were substituted (Table 1).
In the intact system, absorption of an inhaled chemical by the URT may take place during inhalation and to a less extent during exhalation, thus the model depicting the Intact animal (Dla. 2) contained a "nasal cavity" for each situation (URTI and URTE). Inhaled atmospheres were passed through the URTI first, then the lungs and exited through the URTE. Models describing the uptake and excretion of Inhalants by the URT and LRT con tained only one URT with both the URT and LRT being Independently venti lated, one with test atmosphere (absorption) and the other with air (excre tion) (Dia. 3).
The rest of the body (eg. muscle, fat, liver) were lumped into a sin gle compartment equivalent to the volume of distribution of the chemical in rats. Nonresplratory elimination of absorbed chemicals was defined to be equivalent to their central compartment elimination rate constants observed in rats. Physiological constants included; a total cardiac output in pen tobarbital anesthetized rats of 14.8 l/hour<kg (Blood et al_., 1950) of which 1.5% was estimated to perfuse the URT (Stott et al_., 1982) and 98.5% the central compartment; a URT capillary blood volume of 0.052 ml (10% of a

measured total URT blood volume in rats); an estimation of 0.34 ml of cap illary blood in pulmonary tissues (Weibel, 1963); and an effective ventila tion of the respiratory tract (minus anatomical dead space) of 0.7 x 53.2 ml/min. All other constants were maintained as in the intact system. The constants used and computer programs with their differential equations are shown in Appendices I-III. In addition, i.v. blood curves of PGME, PGMEAc, NE and EA are shown in Appendices IV-VII.

RESULTS
Absorption of chemical vapors by the URT, LRT and Intact respiratory tracts of pentobarbital anesthetized rats reached an apparent plateau with in 10 to 20 minutes and remained relatively constant for the duration of exposure. As shown In Table 2, the Isolated URT was observed to absorb over 90% of PGME and PGMEAc and between 50 to 70% of EA, EPI, STY, NE or EDB when these vapors were passed through the URT at a flow rate equivalent to the animals respiratory minute volume (50-60 ml/min). In contrast, MeCl2 was only poorly absorbed (17%) by the URT. Similar rates of absorp tion were observed to occur with the LRT and the intact respiratory tract, with the exception of STY and MeCl2 which were more readily absorbed (>90% and >36% respectively) than in the URT.
In general, only a small percentage (<5%) of LRT absorbed compounds wer^ simultanelously excreted via the URT. Likewise, little of the com-
I
pounds absorbed by the URT were simultaneously excreted by the LRT (<3%) (Table 2). MeCl2 was an exception to this rule, as virtually all MeCl2 ab sorbed by the URT was excreted by the LRT. A constant rate of excretion by the URT and LRT was also observed even though it was doubtful that steadystate blood levels had been attained. Indeed, this was observed in preli minary experiments on PGME excretion, in which pulmonary excretion appeared to remain constant over the same time period in which blood levels of pGME doubled. An explanation of this may be the inability to detect small abso lute changes in chemical vapor concentrations of effluents.

An increased URT ventilation rate (100-110 ml/min) was observed to re sult in less than a 5% decrease in the absorption of PGME, PGMEAc and EPI. A larger decrease (25 to 40%) in the absorption of vapors was noted for EA, STY, NE, EDB and MeCl2 (Table 3). Despite this decrease in percent absorp tion, the rate of URT uptake of chemicals was observed to increase for most of the compounds tested, PGME, PGMEAc and EPI were absorbed at rates equi valent to 1.9 to 2.0 times, and EA, STY, MeCl2 and EDB at rates 1.2 to 1.5 times, the rates observed at the slower URT ventilation rate.
URT absorbed material was estimated to contribute from 19% (MeCl2) to 47% (PGME) of the total dose of test chemicals received by exposed intact rats (Fig. 1). These estimates were obtained using the URT % absorption data obtained at two times the respiratory minute volumes of these animals, thus approximating the residence times of chemicals passing through the URT. The calculated total dose of a given chemical received by rats (l.e. sum of the isolated URT and LRT doses) was well within the potential exper imental error for that calculated from actual whole animal exposure data. These results, when normalized for a uniform exposure concentration and exposure time, are displayed in Fig. 1.
A comparison of the rates of chemical absorption predicted by kinetic models for the three experimental preparations are presented in Table 4. In general, there was good agreement between predicted values and the ex perimentally observed results shown in Table 2. Notable exceptions were

the absorption of MeCl2 by the LRT and intact animals, in which the models overpredicted uptake, and the absorption of EA, EPI and EDB by the isolated URT, in which the model considerably underpredicted absorption. Predicted URT and LRT excretion values were within the range of experimentally ob served values (data not shown).

DISCUSSION
The results of the present study demonstrate that the URT plays a sig nificant role In the absorption a variety of chemical vapors by rodents. The Isolated, ventlllated URT of anesthetized Fischer-344 rats was observed to absorb nearly all PGME and PGMEAc vapors, and 30-70% of EA, EPI, NE, EDB, and STY vapors passed through them at a ventilation rate equivalent to 1 or 2 times the respiratory minute volume (53 ml/min). The URT appears to play a relatively minor role In the absorption of MeCl2 and in the excre tion of all these chemicals, once absorbed Into the blood stream.
To obtain these data, the bidirectional, alternating ventilation of the URT in the intact animal was replaced by the unidirectional, constant ventilation of the Isolated URT. Thus, gradients of vapor concentrations which normally exist between the URT and LRT were disrupted. However, con siderable evidence suggests that these data do approximate normal URT func tion. Unidirectional air flow prevents the loss of absorbed chemicals from the nasal mucous due to solute backpressure normally occurring during exha lation. However, significant backpressure would be expected only with high concentrations of compounds (eg. >1%) with high vapor pressures and low water solubilities, circumstances quite different from those employed here. Preliminary experiments established that there were no appreciable differ ences in URT blood flow between the exposed Isolated URT and the URT of ex posed intact animals, and that no trigeminal nerve reflex mediated changes In respiratory rates occurred in these anesthetized rats. And finally, there was good agreement between the total amounts of chemicals absorbed when calculated as a sum of the isolated parts of the respiratory system and the intact system (Fig. 1).

DO 136474 CONFIDENTIAL
-13-
The influence of flow rate on absorption of chemical vapors by the isolated URT was also evaluated. As shown In Table 3, a two-fold increase in the flow rate from 53 to 105 ml/min resulted in up to a 40% decrease in the absorption of chemicals. The former URT ventilaton rate utilized re presented the respiratory minute volumes of these animals thus maintaining an equivalent net mass transfer of chemicals in each of the animal prepara tions. The later flow rate resulted in roughly equivalent residence times of vapors in the isolted URT as occurred In the URT of exposed whole ani mals. A similar relationship of URT flow rate and chemical absorption has been discussed by Brain (1970) and Aharonson et al_. (1974).
Based upon the above considerations, the chemical dose of PGME, PGMEAc, EA, STY, EPI, EDB and NE absorbed by animals via the URT appears to be quite substantial relative to that absorbed by the LRT in the intact respiratory system, even though the URT is only exposed primarily during the inhalation phase of the breathing cycle (Fig. 1). Furthermore, when absorption is expressed in terms of surface area (Chang et al_., 1982; Bevin et^ al_., 1979), the dose received by the URT is as much as 500 times greater than that of the LRT. Thus, it is not surprising that the reactive com pounds EDB and EPI were observed to effect the respiratory epithelium of the nasal cavity before that of the LRT (Nltschke et al_., 1981; Quast et al., 1979). In these cases the protective role of the nasal mucosa is well illustrated.

Simple chemical vapor absorption itself however, does not correlate with the production of morphologic lesions of the URT mucosa. PGME was readily absorbed by the isolated URT yet does not cause these lesions in exposed rats (Miller et al_., 1981a). Likewise, the potential site of acti vity within the URT mucosa of exposed rats does not appear to be related to their URT absorption. Compounds causing primarily lesions of the olfactory epithelium (NE, EA, PGMEAc) were absorbed by the Isolated URT at rates greater or equivalent to those compounds which cause primarily lesions of the respiratory epithelium (EPI, EDB) (Gushow et al_., 1982; Miller et al., 1980, 1981b; Nitschke et al_., 1981; Quast et aU, 1979).
The kinetic models utilized to predict chemical absorption by the URT, LRT and intact respiratory tract correctly reflected the dynamics of chemi cal vapor uptake in the exposed rat. Uptake was related to the blood/air partitioning of compounds, but only when used In conjunction with the dis tribution and excretion kinetics of the chemicals. Likewise, a simple cor relation between uptake and water solubilities was not evident. Differ ences in observed and predicted values of chemical vapor absorption were mostly inconsequential and not attributable to any single variable. The large underestimations of URT absorption of EA, EPI and EDB made by the model were not surprising. EA has been observed to be readily hydrolyzed by nasal cavity area esterases in vitro (Stott and Young, 1982), while EPI and EDB are known to undergo metabolic activation and to bind with tissue macromolecules (Rannug, 1980; Fishbein, 1976; Jones et al., 1969). Indeed,
MW CONFIDENTIAL
DO 136476 CONF T DFNTT AL
the nasal mucosa Is well supplied with xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme sys tems (Dahl et al_., 1980; Brlttebo et ]_., 1981). Thus, substantial amounts of these three chemicals may be removed In the URT at a rate faster than physical blood/air partitioning would account for. The overprediction of MeCl2 absorption by the LRT and Intact animal models may reflect a more serious error In the physical and biological constants used or a particular sensitivity to some experimental effect.
The data reported here emphasize the role the URT may play In protect ing the lungs from exposure to high concentrations of potentially harmful chemical vapors. However, extensive absorption of vapors by the URT does not indicate that a compound is a respiratory tract toxicant or that It causes lesions of the URT mucosa. It Is expected that mouth breathing by exposed nonobligate nasal breathing animals, including humans, will circum-
I
vent [this protective role thereby decreasing the dose of chemical received by the URT relative to the LRT. In this situation, compounds causing gen eralized lesions of the respiratory epithelium would be expected to have a greater effect on the LRT epithelium. For example, pulmonary effects have been observed by Andur (1959) to occur in tracheostomized guinea pigs but not in normal guinea pigs exposed to formaldehyde vapors. However, for those compounds causing primarily lesions of the URT olfactory neuroepithe lium, a significant bypassing of the URT in these animals would result in a
j
decrease in the severity of mucosal lesions.
