Abstract
2-Chloro- N -isopropylacetanilide was quantitatively metabolized in chickens in the mercapturic acid pathway (MAP). The MAP metabolites (cysteine conjugate, S -carboxymethyl- N -acetyl cysteine, N -acetyl cysteine conjugate, and N -acetyl cysteine sulfoxide conjugate) were excreted mainly with the urine with minor amounts (less than 7% of the dose) excreted with bile. The cysteine conjugate was precursor for all the MAP metabolites, as well as, for N -isopropyloxanilic acid and N -isopropylacetanilide. Cysteine conjugate β-lyase activity was detected in the intestinal contents in vitro but was not manifested in vivo when the cysteine conjugate was injected intracecally.
