title: Metabolism of hydralazine by rat hepatocytes.
abstract: The metabolism of hydralazine and its pyruvic acid hydrazone was studied in a medium containing isolated adult rat hepatocytes. Hydralazine undergoes conversion to 3-methyltriazolophthalazine, while hydralazine pyruvic acid hydrazone is not metabolized in rat hepatocytes.
