title: Species variation in the metabolism of 1-naphthylacetylglycylglycylglycine.
abstract: 1-Naphthylacetylglycylglycylglycine was metabolized in rat and rabbit to mainly 1-naphthylacetylglucuronide; in toad to 1-naphthylacetic acid and 1-naphtylacetylglycine, and in lizard and tortoise to 1-naphthylacetic acid and its glycine and ornithine conjugates. In the in vitro studies, varying amounts of 1-naphthylacetic acid, its glycine and glycylglycine conjugates and some of the unchanged compound were detected in all the species.
