Abstract Chemically inert substances can be transformed in the body to active intermediates that mediate a variety of toxicities including cellular necrosis, methemoglobinemia, porphyria, tumor formation and mutagenic effects. In addition, many hypersensitive reactions and fetotoxic reactions and probably mediated by active intermediates. In some instances the active intermediate apparently acts by combining reversibly with vitally important intracellular components but in others the intermediate acts by combining covalently with tissue macromolecules. This paper is concerned with some of the factors that affect covalent binding and toxicity of drugs.
