The upper respiratory tracts of male Fischer F344 rats were surgically isolated and connected to a specially designed flow system. The tracheal connection of the upper respiratory tract and the lower respiratory tract was interrupted. The upper respiratory tract was exposed to propylene-glycol- monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, epichlorohydrin, cmpd which include vapors while the rat spontaneously breathed from a stream of air. Intact rats were exposed nose only to the same compound and the percentages of vapor absorbed were determined for comparison purposes. Attempts were made to correlate the results with the water solubility of the compounds. The data were compared to predictions of two compartment mathematical models. More than 50 to 70% of the epichlorohydrin, vapors passing through the isolated upper respiratory tacts were absorbed. With the exception of styrene and methylene chloride, the percentage of vapors absorbed by the upper respiratory tract approximated that observed in the lower respiratory tract and nose only exposed animals. There was no correlation between absorption in the URT and water solubility. The mathematical models generally predicted the absorption of vapors by the lower respiratory tract and intact animals accurately. The models seriously underestimated absorption of epichlorohydrin, by the upper respiratory tract. /Results indicate/ that blood air partitioning can account for absorption of chemicals by the upper respiratory tract, but only if other metabolic and physiological parameters are considered.

The highest tissue concentrations in rodents were found in the nose after inhalation, and in the stomach after ingestion. In rats, regardless of the route of exposure, most absorbed epichlorohydrin is metabolized rapidly, part being excreted as carbon dioxide via the lungs and part as water-soluble compounds via the urine.

Rats given oral (14)C labeled epichlorhydrin and sacrificed after 3 days: 38% exhaled as carbon dioxide; 50% excreted as metabolites in urine; 3% excreted in the feces; and the remainder was found in the tissues - liver, kidney, and forestomach.
Gingell R et al; Drug Metb Dispos 13 (3): 333-41 (1985)
The major urinary metabolite of (14)C-epichlorohydrin, after oral administration to rats, was identified previously to be N-acetyl-S-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-L-cysteine at 36% of the administered dose. In a similar study reported here, 1,2-dibromo-3- chloropropane was metabolized to at least 20 radioactive urinary metabolites. N-acetyl-S-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-L-cysteine was only a minor metabolite (4%) of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane. Epichlorohydrin was metabolized in vitro by rat liver microsomes to alpha-chlorohydrin, but 1,2-dibromo-3-chloroproane was not metabolized to epichlorohydrin or alpha-chlorohydrin under similar conditions. Covalent binding of radioactivity to liver microsomal proteins occurred for both substrates, but was less for (14)C-epichlorohydrin than for (14)C-1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane. Addition of 3,3,3-trichloropropylene oxide, an inhibitor of epoxide hydrolase, increased the extent of protein binding of epichlorohydrin, but decreased the amojnt of (14)C-1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane which was bound. The data indicate the epichlorohydrin is not a significant in vivo nor in vitro metabolite of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane in the rat, and is unlikely to be responsible for the toxicity of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane.

In in vitro studies, it was shown that epichlorohydrin was hydrolyzed into 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol by the microsomal epoxide hydrolase(s) (EC 3.3.2.3) of mouse liver in the absence of NADPH, the roles of protein or glutathione in this detoxification being insignificant.

... Male mice were given a single ip injection of epichlorohydrin dissolved in corn oil. Groups of ten mice were killed by decapitation at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes after injection and blood samples were collected. The in vivo half-life of epichlorohydrin is extremely short, being only just detectable after 15 minutes.

The two reactive electrophilic sites, the C-1 carbon in the epoxide ring and C-3, the chlorine-bearing carbon, behave as alkylating agents and can react nonenzymatically with glutathione or protein sulfhydryl groups.

3-Chloroglycerophosphate inhibited rat sperm enzyme activities (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and triosephosphate isomerase) and hence glycolysis. Only the S(-) isomer and not the R(+) isomer of 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol produced antifertility or antiglycolytic effects. Since epichlorohydrin has not been shown to have enzyme inhibitory effects, it may be that it is metabolized in vivo to S(-) alpha-chlorohydrin phosphate, to exert its antifertility effect.
