title: N-Glucosidation of amobarbital in the cat.
abstract: N-Glucosidation is a novel pathway of barbiturate metabolism, so far known to occur only in man. A search for an animal model, conducted through in vitro screening, revealed that amobarbital-N-glucoside was formed in liver preparations from the cat. The presence of amobarbital-N-glucoside was demonstrated in cat urine, following i.p. administration of amobarbital.
