title: The metabolism of 2,3,4-trimethylpentane in male Fischer-344 rats.
abstract: The urinary metabolites of the potent nephrotoxic hydrocarbon 2,3,4-trimethylpentane (2,3,4-TMP) given Fischer-344 male rats by gavage included 1-hydroxy-2,3,4-trimethylpentane, 2,3,4-trimethyl-1-pentanoic acid and 2,3,4-trimethyl-5-hydroxy-1-pentanoic acid. Analyses were performed by gas-liquid chromatography (GC) and gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). A comparison of the urinary metabolites of 2,3,4-TMP with those of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (2,2,4-TMP) showed that more monocarboxylic acid was produced with 2,3,4-TMP.
