4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

The pharmacokinetics of MEK in 70 male and female volunteers following a 4-hr inhalation exposure either alone (200 ppm) or in combination with acetone (225 ppm, 1:1.25 ratio) /was described./ Blood and expired air elimination data for the MEK-exposed individuals revealed on average that MEK steady-state breath levels of about 10 to 12 ppm were attained, non-steady-state peak blood levels of 3 to 4 ug/ml occurred, no significant difference in uptake or elimination was observed for males and females, and no appreciable interaction affecting elimination took place with the combined exposures.

Bingham, E.; Cohrssen, B.; Powell, C.H.; Patty's Toxicology Volumes 1-9 5th ed. John Wiley & Sons. New York, N.Y. (2001)., p. V6: 149


Measurable (2.54 to 13 ug/L) quantities of methyl ethyl ketone appeared in expired air of adult humans 3 min following dermal exposure to 100 mL methyl ethyl ketone applied to 91.5 sq cm of skin.

PMID:5842337 Wurster; J Pharm Sci 54: 554 (1965)


Ketones are readily absorbed through the intact skin. Usually they are rapidly excreted ... in the expired air. /Ketones/

International Labour Office. Encyclopedia of Occupational Health and Safety. Vols. I&II. Geneva, Switzerland: International Labour Office, 1983., p. 1170


Workers occupationally exposed to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) were examined. ... Workers exposed to 300 micrograms per liter MEK, the aveolar concn was 30% of the environmental concn. Lung uptake averaged 1.05 mg/min. The blood concn of MEK ranged from 842 to 9573 ug/L, with a mean of 2630 ug/L. Blood concn of MEK were strongly correlated with alveolar concn. MEK was more soluble in heart and muscle tissue than in lung tissue or fat. Urinary MEK excretion ranged from 120 to 1120 mg/L, with a mean of 487 mg/L. ... MEK was not persistent in the tissues. ... Urinary excretion of MEK and acetylmethylcarbinol are only around 0.1% of MEK lung absorption, the main pathway through which MEK is eliminated is unknown.

4.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) occurs ... in normal human urine and ... has possible dietary origin; its more probable precursor is alpha-methylacetoacetic acid. Like other ketones ... MEK is reduced ... in the body. Only 30-40% ... is eliminated in expired air ... .

Browning, E. Toxicity and Metabolism of Industrial Solvents. New York: American Elsevier, 1965., p. 422


Guinea pigs were given single 450 mg/kg ip doses of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). MEK produced 2-butanol, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, and 2,3-butanediol.

PMID:941151 DiVincenzo GD et al; Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 36 (3): 511 (1976)


Milk cultures of five Leuconostoc dextranicum strains were capable of reducing methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) to 2-butyl alcohol.

Resting cells of Lactobacillus brevis 24 reduced methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) quantitatively to 2-butyl alcohol when incubated in phosphate buffer for 24 hr at 30 C.

4.3 Biological Half-Life

Blood: 49-96 minutes; urine: 4 hours; [TDR, p. 1700]

TDR - Ryan RP, Terry CE, Leffingwell SS (eds). Toxicology Desk Reference: The Toxic Exposure and Medical Monitoring Index, 5th Ed. Washington DC: Taylor & Francis, 1999., p. 1700


MEK is rapidly cleared from the blood with a reported plasma half-life in humans of 49-96 minutes, exhibiting a biphasic elimination: t(1/2) alpha = 30 minutes and t(1/2) beta = 81 Minutes.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Toxicological Review of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (CAS No. 78-93-3) In Support of Summary Information on the Integrated Risk Information system (IRIS). Available from the Database Query page at: https://www.epa.gov/iris/subst/index.html on the Substance File List as of October 10, 2007


Guinea pigs were given a single dose of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) ip at 450 mg/kg. Blood samples were taken via cardiac puncture at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 hr after dosing. Serum half-life of MEK was estimated at 270 minutes.

Divincenzo GD et al; Toxicol Appl Pharm 36: 511-22 (1976)


... The biological half lives for elimination of acetone and MEK calculated on the basis of a first order kinetic assumption were 3.9 hours and 49 minutes, respectively. ... Workers exposed to acetone or MEK for 6 to 8 hours could expect to have a residual body burden of acetone the next morning, whereas MEK would be essentially eliminated.

Brown WD et al; The Changing Nature of Work and Workforce, Proceedings of the Third Joint US-Finish Science Symposium p.111-14 (1986)


The distribution of MEK in human tissues was examined ... in two solvent-exposed workers who died suddenly of heart attacks at the workplace. ... Distribution volumes were 6.0 for vessel-rich tissues, 39.6 for muscle and 12.8 for fat. Biological half-lives for the same tissues were 0.8, 21.8 and 23.3 min, respectively.
