Results and discussion

Main ADME resultsopen allclose all
Type:
absorption
Results:
Absorption through the lungs appears to be possible; absorption of an intratracheally-instilled solution of 4- aminobenzene sulfonic acid has been detected in the rat. 4-Aminobenzene sulfonic acid can also be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Type:
distribution
Results:
Accumulation does not take place in mammals.
Type:
metabolism
Results:
N-acetyl metabolite
Type:
excretion
Results:
4-Aminobenzene sulfonic acid is excreted either unchanged or as the N-acetyl metabolite, in the urine and the feces in rats.Excretion after oral administration mainly occurs within 24 hr.
