Abstract 14C-Di-2-ethylhexyl and 14C-diethyl phthalates were administered intraperitoneally to pregnant rats on either Day 5 or 10 of gestation. Rats were sacrificed at 24-hr intervals starting on Days 8 and 11, respectively; maternal blood, fetal tissue, amniotic fluid, and placentas (whenever possible) were obtained. The 14C-activity of each sample was determined by scintillation counting. It was found that both diesters and/or their metabolic products were present in each of these compartments throughout the gestation period, thus suggesting that the embryo-fetal toxicity and teratogenesis reported previously could be the results of a direct effect of the compound (or its metabolites) upon developing embryonic tissue. Additionally, the reduction in concentration of 14C from these tissues as a function of time was found to fit a first-order excretion curve. From this model curve, the half-life for both compounds was calculated; the average was about 2.33 days for di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate and 2.22 days for diethyl phthalate.
