Abstract
AFTER the administration of Salicylhydroxamic acid to rats, we have been able to isolate conjugates of Salicylhydroxamic acid and salicylamide from the urine1. In the intact animal, Salicylhydroxamic acid is therefore partly metabolized to salicylamide. In the present communication, the enzymatic transformation of Salicylhydroxamic acid to salicylamide in vitro is reported.
