Dibrom (1,2 dibromo -2,2-dichloroethyl dimethyl phosphate) 
Adult male rats were treated with dibremPo- in corn oil by stomach 
tube. Within a day, high activity appeared in the bone. After oral 
administration of dibrom-P3* to a cow, urine yielded P??-metabolites 
chromatographing in the position of inorganic phosphate, mono- and dimethyl 
phosphate, and O-methyl 2,2-dichlorovinyl phosphate, DDVP, dichloroacetal- 
dehyde, dichlorobromoacetaldehyde. Studies indicated that dibrom reacts 
with sulfhydryls and that certain complex amino acid conjugates of the 
degraded products are also formed (247, 813).
