1. (Z)-1,3-Dichloro[2-14C]propene([14C](Z)-DCP) when dosed orally to rats gave 82-84% of the radioactivity in the urine 24 h after treatment. Most of this 14C (92%) was present as N-acetyl-S-((Z)-3-chloroprop-2-enyl)cysteine ((Z)-DCP mercapturic acid).

2. When (Z)-DCP was incubated with glutathione and rat liver cytosol (containing glutathione S-alkyl transferase), very rapid loss of (Z)-DCP was observed. The product of this reaction was S-[(Z)-3-chloroprop-2-enyl)]glutathione.
