Abstract excerpt
The metabolic kinetics of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) in rabbits was studied. PABA is predominantly metabolized by acetylation and glycine conjugation to form p-acetamidobenzoic acid (PAABA), p-aminohippuric acid (PAHA), and p-acetamidohippuric acid (PAAHA). After PABA IV administration (20 mg/kg) to rapid (n=16) and slow (n=8) acetylation rabbits, PABA was eliminated rapidly. The half-lives of PABA were...
