The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

In experiments using rat and rabbit, the glucuronide of 3-hydroxycarbazole was demonstrated to be the major metabolite in the urine.

After administration of C14-labeled carbazole to rats, 65% of the radioactivity administered was found in the 3-day urine. After acid hydrolysis of the urine, 55% of the total radioactive dose distributed into an ether extract of the urine. After further purification, 33% of the dose were isolated from the ether extract as 3-hydroxycarbazole. Another 10% of total radioactivity in the ether extract could be attributed to at least two more phenolic carbazole derivatives more polar than 3-hydroxcarbazole (possibly di- and polyhydroxylated carbazoles).The identity of the radioactivity not excreted into the urine (35% of total dose) or remaining in the aqueous phase of urine (10% of total dose) was not elucidated.
