SUMMARY / CONCLUSION

The physicochemical properties of RSS-4, notably its high water solubility and octanol/water partition coefficient of 1.5, suggest that RSS-4 will be readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. This is supported by experimental data which observed liver and kidney effects after oral exposure. Related to the metabolisation, so far no studies have been identified in the literature or performed with RSS-4. However, experimental information has been found on the acid and on the equivalent calcium salt. While in the body, these compounds may undergo (1) a glucuronidation to form a glucuronic acid conjugate; (2) a ß-oxidation to yield acetylethyl-acetic acid following by a decarboxylation; (3) a dealkylation in some diabetic human. The metabolites will be then excreted in urine.
