description | Homosalate (HMS) is a salicylate UV filter broadly used in sunscreens and personal care products. The aim of this study was the collection of human toxicokinetic data on HMS as a tool for risk assessment. For this purpose, metabolism and urinary excretion after a single oral HMS dose (98.2–149.1 µg (kg body weight)−1) were investigated in four volunteers (two male, two female). As commercial products generally contain a mixture of cis- and trans-HMS, both cis-rich and trans-rich isomer mixtures were studied to investigate possible differences in metabolism. Initial metabolite screening tentatively identified six oxidative metabolite subgroups, of which hydroxylated and carboxylic acid metabolites were studied in more detail. Unchanged parent HMS and the previously identified HMS metabolites 5-((2-hydroxybenzoyl)oxy)-3,3-dimethylcyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid (HMS-CA) and 3-hydroxy-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (3OH-HMS), respectively, were quantified separately as cis- and trans-isomers via authentic standards by isotope dilution analysis. In addition, further alkyl-hydroxylated and carboxylic acid metabolites were investigated semi-quantitatively. Peak concentrations in urine were reached 1.5–6.3 h post-dose and more than 80 % of each of the quantitatively investigated metabolites (and at least 70 % of the semi-quantitatively investigated metabolites) was excreted within the first 24 h. Plasma and urine data indicated that oral bioavailability of cis-HMS was one order of magnitude below that of trans-HMS. Furthermore, the mean total urinary excretion fraction (Fue) for the metabolites derived from trans-HMS (6.4 %) was two orders of magnitude higher than for the metabolites derived from cis-HMS (0.045 %). Our data proves diastereoselectivity in toxicokinetics of cis- and trans-HMS, emphasizing the necessity to address isomer ratios in future studies including HMS exposure and risk assessments. |
