The metabolic pathway of 1-methylhydantoin (2) via 5-hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin (3), methylparabanic acid (4) and N5-methyloxaluric acid (5) proved to be a major and general one in mammals. Hence the formation of (3), which has not been detected in normal tissue, is

We describe an improved enzymatic ultraviolet absorbance method for assaying creatinine in serum, plasma, and urine. Creatinine is hydrolyzed by creatinine iminohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.21) to ammonia and N-methylhydantoin. The ammonia produced combines with 2-oxoglutarate and NADPH in the presence of
