Metabolites of 1,2-epoxy-3-phenoxy- and 1,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)propane. 1978

S P James, and A E Pheasant, and E Solheim

1. Rabbits and rats dosed with 1,2-epoxy-3-phenoxypropane excrete 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropionic acid and N-acetyl-S-(2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl)-L-cysteine. 2. Rabbits and rats dosed with 1,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)propane excrete 2-hydroxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)propionic acid, N-acetyl-S-[2-hydroxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy/propyl)propyl]-L-cysteine and p-nitrophenol. 3. The administration of either epoxide to the rat produces a marked fall in hepatic GSH level. 4. The biliary excretion of metabolites of 1,2-epoxy-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)-propane is described.

D002845	Chromatography	Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts.	Chromatographies
D004852	Epoxy Compounds	Organic compounds that include a cyclic ether with three ring atoms in their structure. They are commonly used as precursors for POLYMERS such as EPOXY RESINS.	Epoxide,Epoxides,Epoxy Compound,Oxiranes,Compound, Epoxy,Compounds, Epoxy

D005978	Glutathione	A tripeptide with many roles in cells. It conjugates to drugs to make them more soluble for excretion, is a cofactor for some enzymes, is involved in protein disulfide bond rearrangement and reduces peroxides.

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.
