Abstract
Inhalation pharmacokinetics of dichlorofluoromethane (CFC 21) and chlorodifluoromethane (CFC 22) were studied in male Wistar rats by use of a closed inhalation chamber system. CFC 21 was readily eliminated via metabolism. However, CFC 22 underwent no detectable metabolism; pretreatment of the rats with DDT or phenobarbital did not stimulate metabolic transformation of the compound. Hence, formation of biologically relevant amounts of reactive intermediates from CFC 22 as a mechanism of toxicity seems unlikely.Entities:
