The Metabolic Fate of Pentylenetetrazol in the Rat
Pentylenetetrazol administered to rats was metabolized to a derivative which was excreted in the urine along with unchanged pentylenetetrazol. Pentylenetetrazol and its metabolite can be separated on paper chromatograms developed in water-saturated isobutanol. The substances, however, are chromatographically inseparable with water as the mobile phase.
