Title:
Excretion of p-Nitrophenol and p-Aminophenol in the urine of a patient exposed to nitrobenzene.

Materials and methods

Objective of study:
metabolism
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Five adult Wistar rats were exposed to nitrobenzene vapour (0.13 mg/L) for 8 hours. Urinary levels of p-nitrophenol and p-aminophenol were determined using the method of Brodie and Axelrod (1948) after 24, 48 and 72 hours.

Results and discussion

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
The metabolites p-nitrophenol and p-aminophenol of nitrobenzene were identified and quantified.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Urinary levels of p-nitrophenol (p-aminophenol) (µmoles/day and rat) were ca. 1800 (1200) after 24 hours, ca. 500 (both) after 48 hours and 0 (both) after 72 hours.
