4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorbed adipic acid is primarily excreted in the urine unchanged or in the breath of carbon dioxide.

Kennedy GL Jr; Drug Chem Toxicol 25 (2): 191-202 (2002)


In man following ingestion, adipic acid is only partially metabolized; the balance is eliminated unchanged in the urine.

Kennedy GL Jr; Drug Chem Toxicol 25 (2): 191-202 (2002)


4.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

Radioactive adipic acid was fed to fasted experimental rats and the metabolic products identified in the urine were urea, glutamic acid, lactic acid, beta-ketoadipic acid, and citric acid. The presence of beta-ketoadipic acid provided some evidence that adipic acid is metabolized by beta-oxidation in much the same fashion as fatty acids. Further evidence was provided by the appearance of succinate in the urine of rats fed radioactive (14)C-adipic acid and injected with malonic acid. The presence of radioactive acetyl-gamma-phenyl-alphaaminobutyric acid after feeding gamma-phenyl-alpha-aminobutyric acid and (14)C-labeled adipic acid provided very strong evidence that acetate is a metabolite of adipic acid. Radioactive glycogen was isolated following feeding of glucose and radioactive adipic acid.

PMID:14440268 Rusoff II et al; Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2 (3): 316-30 (1960)


Adipic acid is metabolized via beta-oxidation to succinic and acetic acids, and subsequently to other normal intermediary metabolites.
