Results and discussion

Preliminary studies:
Cyclohexanol administered orally by gavage to rabbits was readily absorbed. The substance was highly conjugated with glucuronic acid and excreted mainly via the urine (in the two experimental animals, 68 and 75% of the dose was found as radioactivity in the urine). The main metabolites were cyclohexyl glucuronide (about 60% of administered dose) and trans-cyclohexane-1:2-diol glucoronide (about 6% of administered dose). Negligible amounts of cyclohexanol were found in the expired air.
