Abstract
Toxikokinetic studies aim at the characterization and quantitative description of the absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of the substance of interest. Reliable results are based on unequivocal identification of the target compound and its transformation products in biological samples, such as blood/plasma/serum, urine, bile, and faeces enabling scientifically sound interpretation of the data.
Several aspects will be highlighted: the importance of substance descriptions and its purity, including possible influences of impurities on test compound and analytical standards; the suitability and validation of analytical methods with regards to specificity, limits of detection and quantification and recovery.
Special consideration applies for the description of analytical methods in publications.
How work-up procedure can influence an analytical result will be exemplified against aromatic amines and isocyanates. Finally, it will be discussed how use can be made of older publications taking into account that at the time of the publication todays analytical methods were not available.
