Abstract
Urocanic-α-C14acid and imidazolepropionic-α-C14acid have been synthesized and their metabolism has been studied in the intact rat. Urocanic acid has been found to be extensively catabolized and to give rise to glutamic acid. The fact that no radiocarbon could be found in tissue histidine indicates that the formation of urocanic acid from histidine is a non-reversible reaction. Imidazole-propionic acid has been found to undergo very little catabolism and thus should be excluded as a possible intermediate in the degradation of urocanic acid.
