Journal of chromatography B. Biomedical applications
Oracine (I), a potential cytostatic drug, is enzymically converted to
a number of metabolites whose formation has been studied in vitro and
in vivo. The metabolites were separated by reversed-phase HPLC and cha
racterized by UV spectra. Preparative TLC served for the isolation of
the individual metabolites to allow their identification. Two metaboli
tes were identified by Fourier transform NMR as 11-dihydrooracine (II)
and a phenolic product (III). Two further metabolites (IV,V) were cha
racterized. Some minor, presumably 11-dihydro metabolites and an 11-ox
o metabolite produced in vitro and in vivo were revealed.
