Abstract
Biotransformation of chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene) in the rat or in isolated rat hepatocytes leads to glutathione conjugates with concomitant depletion of hepatic glutathione and increased excretion rates of urinary thioethers. Conjugate formation depends on microsomal enzyme activities suggesting the involvement of an epoxide intermediate.
