Results and discussion

Details on excretion:
Glucuronic acid conjugation (% of dose): 1 (0-2)
Urinary metabolites characterized: None found

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test substance did not undergo glucuronic acid conjugation. No malonic acid was detected in the urine of rabbits. Three oxidation products of propane, 1,3-diol are possible, beta-hydroxypropionic aldehyde, beta-hydroxypropionic acid (hydracrylic acid) and malonic acid. Malonic acid can apparently be metabolized through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and recently malonyl-coenzyme A has been found to be an intermidiate in fatty acid synthesis. Hydroacrylic acid has also been reported to be metabolized in animal tissues. It appears probably that propane, 1,3-diol is oxidized completely to carbon dioxide in the body.
