Metabolism of labeled fatty ozonides administrated intravenously in rats
Abstract:
The distribution and metabolism of uniformly labeled fatty ozonides administrated intravenously in rats were studied. More than 90% of radioactivity was recovered in the lung tissue even 4 to 8 hr after injection of labeled ozonides, and approximately 60% of total radioactivity incorporated into the lung tissue remained as fatty ozonides. A slight amount of radioactivity, which was mainly incorporated into phospholipid and triglyceride, was recovered in liver and kidney.

Oxidative Cleavage of Alkenes: Ozonolysis
In ozonolysis, ozone is used to cleave a carbon–carbon double bond to form aldehydes and ketones, or carboxylic acids, depending on the work-up.
Ozone is a symmetrical bent molecule stabilized by a resonance structure.

Phase I Reactions: Oxidation of Aliphatic and Aromatic Carbon-Containing Systems
Phase I biotransformation reactions are integral to drug metabolism, predominantly involving oxidative, reductive, and hydrolytic transformations. Chief among these are oxidative reactions, which enhance the hydrophilicity of xenobiotics and introduce polar functional groups to facilitate their elimination from the body.
Oxidation reactions are fundamental in aromatic carbon-containing systems. An example is the hydroxylation of phenobarbital, a process that transforms it into...
