Metabolism of nitrosamines in vivo. V Investigation on 14CO2 exhalation, liver RNA labelling and isolation of two metabolites from urine after administration of [2, 5-14C-]dinitrosopiperazine to rats. 1976

F W Krüger, and B Bertram, and G Eisenbrand

The synthesis of N, N'-dinitrosopiperazine and N-nitrosopiperazine, both 14C-labelled in the 2-and 5-position is described. After i.p. application of 10 mg/69.5 muCi/kg[2, 5-14C]-N, N'-dinitrosopiperazine to rats no labelled 7-methylguanine was detected in the liver RNA; 1% of the radioactivity was exhaled as 14CO2, 1% excreted via the bile and about 40% excreted in the urine. Two of the urine metabolites were identified as 3-hydroxynitrosopyrrolidine and 1-nitrosopiperazinone-(3).

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
