Abstract
1-Aminoproline-U-14C was administered to rats by intraperitoneal injection. The radioactivity was distributed in all the tissues examined. Among them, kidney, lung, liver and spleen had high specific activity. The radioactivity in the tissues and blood decreased rapidly as a function of time, except in brain. About 80% of the radioactivity administered was excreted in urine within 24 hr. Besides intact 1-aminoproline, several radioactive compounds were detected in the urine sample, and one of them was identified as 1-aminopropyl hydrazone of pyridoxal.
