G. Lhoest et al., ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF A NOVEL ISOMERIZED EPOXIDE METABOLITEOF FK-506 FROM ERYTHROMYCIN-INDUCED RABBIT LIVER-MICROSOMES, Drug metabolism and disposition, 21(5), 1993, pp. 850-854
A novel metabolite of FK-506-a C-13, C-15, C31 O-demethyl C19 hydroxym
ethyl C36 isomerized epoxide of FK-506 obtained from erythromycin-indu
ced rabbit liver microsomes-was isolated by HPLC and identified by FAB
/MS and NMR. The existence of ring-chain tautomers for this metabolite
is demonstrated by NMR spectroscopy. FAB/MS, and HPLC.
