R. Brownsill et al., THE APPLICATION OF ELECTROSPRAY AND NEUTRAL-LOSS MASS-SPECTROMETRY TOTHE IDENTIFICATION OF THE METABOLITES OF S12813 IN RAT-LIVER SLICES, Rapid communications in mass spectrometry, 8(5), 1994, pp. 361-365
The metabolism of S12813, (3-{2-[4-phenyl piperazin-1-yl] ethyl}-2-oxo
-2,3-dihydro oxazolo [4, 5-b] pyridine chlorohydrate), in rat liver sl
ice incubates was examined by high performance liquid chromatography c
ombined with mass spectrometry. Electrospray ionization was used toget
her with tandem mass spectrometric techniques of analysis (MS/MS). Pol
ar phase I and phase II metabolites were identified as C-oxidation pro
ducts, which were then conjugated to form either sulphate or glucuroni
de metabolites. On the basis of the identifications made, a metabolic
pathway of S12813 in rat liver slices has been proposed.
