The rate of hydrolysis to formaldehyde of methylenedimorpholine (MDM), hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) and dinitrosopentamethylenetetramine (DNPT) have been compared with the enzyme-mediated formation of formaldehyde from hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA). The bio-distribution of [14C]HMPA following nasal instillation in rats has also been studied and
