1. Biotransformation of 1,2-diethenylbenzene (1) in rat was studied. Five urinary metabolites were isolated by extraction of acid hydrolysed urine and identified by nmr and mass spectroscopy, namely, 1-(2-ethenylphenyl)ethane-1,2-diol (2) 2-ethenylmandelic acid (3), 2-ethenylphenylglyoxylic acid (4), 2-ethenylphenylacetylglycine (5) N-acetyl-S-[1-(2-ethenylphenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]cysteine (6)

In a previous study, it was shown that the neurotoxic compound 1,2-diethylbenzene (1,2-DEB) is mainly hydroxylated in the alkyl chain to give 1-(2'-ethylphenyl)ethanol (1,2-EPE) and excreted in urine of rats as two glucuronide compounds (GA1 and GA2). Some findings have

The bio-distribution of the neurotoxic 1,2-diethylbenzene (1,2-DEB) was studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats after intravenous administration of [(14)C] 1,2-DEB (1 mg kg(-1)). The highest concentrations of [(14)C] non-volatile metabolites, determined by whole-body auto-radiography, were in the nasal cavity, ethmoid turbinates

The excretion and metabolism of neurotoxic 1,2-diethylbenzene (1, 2-DEB) was studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats after i.v. (1 mg/kg) or oral (1 or 100 mg/kg) administration of 1,2-diethyl[U-(14)C]benzene ([(14)C]1,2-DEB). Whatever the treatment, radioactivity was mainly excreted in urine (65-76% of

Diethylbenzene (DEB) is a moderately volatile, colorless liquid found in gasoline, kerosene, and fuel oils. Exposure to DEB has been shown to produce peripheral neuropathy in rats, and the ortho isomer of DEB (1,2-DEB) is generally believed to be the
