Metabolism of phenothiazine in the guinea pig.

The metabolism of phenothiazine was studied in the guinea pig. In the adult animal after 24 hr, about 7% of the administered dose was found in feces, with traces of the sulfoxide and phenothiazone. Small amounts of all these compounds also were found in urine, with leucophenothiazone sulfate (approximately 12%) and a metabolite identified as phenothiazine N-glucuronide (approximately 22%). This latter compound was also present in bile. Both phenothiazine and its sulfoxide were retained in body tissues for a long time, about 85% of the dose being excreted after 7 days. In neonatal animals, phenothiazine, with up to 12% of the sulfoxide together with traces of leucophenothiazone, phenothiazone, and thionol was excreted in urine.

The metabolism and elimination of S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine in man.

The metabolism of 14C- and 35S-labeled S-carboxymethylcysteine (SCMC) has been compared. The majority of the dose appeared in urine in the first 24 hr; no activity was detectable in feces. Use of 25S-labeled compound gave small amounts of inorganic 35S-sulfate, whereas 14C-labeled material was degraded to give some [14C]urea. Peak excretion of the parent compound occurred first after administration of SCMC; metabolites requiring one chemical modification for their formation were maximally excreted 1-4 hr after the dose and those involving more metabolic processes appeared later (4-8 hr).
