title: Passage of allophanoyl-gamma-lactones through the kidney.
abstract: In order to establish if allophanoyl-gamma lactones (B compounds) can pass through the kidney or if only the corresponding delta-hydroxybarbiturates (A compounds), formed by intramolecular alcoholysis, are able to do so, nine experiments were performed to study the urinary excretion of four different allophanoyl gamma-lactones B after administration to dogs. Excreted compounds were extracted, identified and quantised. From the amounts of unmodified administered lactones that were recovered, it is concluded that B compounds can pass through the kidney before isomerisation into the corresponding barbiturates A.
