title: Metabolism and nephrotoxicity of indan in male Fischer 344 rats.
abstract: Indan, a component of fuels, solvents, and varnishes, is metabolized in male Fischer 344 rats to 1-indanol, 2-indanol, 5-indanol, 1-indanone, 2-indanone, 2-hydroxy-1-indanone, cis-1,2-indandiol, and trans-1,2-indandiol. The metabolites were identified using the techniques of gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The rats treated with indan demonstrated the classic lesions of hydrocarbon-induced nephropathy. The kidney damage produced was less than that found for tetralin and other branched-chain acyclic hydrocarbons.
