title: Kinetics of methaemoglobin production. (1). Kinetics of methaemoglobinaemia induced by the cyanide antidotes, p-aminopropiophenone, p-hydroxyaminopropiophenone or p-dimethylaminophenol after intravenous administration.
abstract: Methaemoglobin profiles have been studied by using ISIS, a simulation package, and NONLIN, a non-linear least-squares analysis regression program. A simple kinetic model which satisfactorily describes methaemoglobin profiles after p-aminopropiophenone (PAPP) administration and 4-dimethylaminophenol (DMAP) administration has been developed. The two compounds differed mainly in their effective rates of elimination. The model less satisfactorily described methaemoglobin profiles after p-hydroxyaminopropiophenone (PHAPP) administration.
