[Metabolism of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole in rats]. 1975

W Grunow, and H J Altmann, and C Böhme

3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole[5-(14)C] was administered orally to rats as a single dose of 50 mg/kg body weight. Excretion in urine and feces was followed during a period of 3 days. Within the first 24 hrs the main part of the radioactivity was found in the urine as unchanged amitrole. 3-Amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazolyl-(5)-mercapturic acid were isolated from urine and identified by comparison with synthetic compounds. The total amount of these metabolites in the urine was about 6% of the dose. The metabolic pathways of amitrole and the possible relations between biotransformation and toxicity are discussed.

D000111 Acetylcysteine The N-acetyl derivative of CYSTEINE. It is used as a mucolytic agent to reduce the viscosity of mucous secretions. It has also been shown to have antiviral effects in patients with HIV due to inhibition of viral stimulation by reactive oxygen intermediates.

D000640 Amitrole A non-selective post-emergence, translocated herbicide. According to the Seventh Annual Report on Carcinogens (PB95-109781, 1994) this substance may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen. (From Merck Index, 12th ed) It is an irreversible inhibitor of CATALASE, and thus impairs activity of peroxisomes. Aminotriazole,3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001711 Biotransformation The chemical alteration of an exogenous substance by or in a biological system. The alteration may inactivate the compound or it may result in the production of an active metabolite of an inactive parent compound. The alterations may be divided into METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE I and METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE II.
