Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The metabolism of nitrosodiphenylamine was investigated in phenobarbital-induced mouse liver microsomes and some of the metabolites were also tested.

One metabolite was identified as diphenylamine whereas the others were identified as a ring-hydroxylated derivative of diphenylamine and its corresponding quinoneimine.
