Results and discussion

Preliminary studies:
Not applicable

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
Not applicable
Details on distribution in tissues:
Not applicable
Details on excretion:
Not applicable

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
Veratrole was demethylated to 2-methoxyphenol. From a Table presented in this Czech paper it is only possible to guess that the percentage of the administered dose that is metabolised to 2-methoxyphenol is between 6 and 22%.
