Abstract: | Two metabolites of HEOD have been isolated by chromatographic techniques, one from the faeces and one from the urine of rats fed for six months on a diet containing HEOD. The molccular formulae of the urinary and faecal metabolites are respectively C12 H7 O2 Cl5 and C12 H8 O2 Cl6. Structural formulae for the two compounds are suggested. |
