Abstract

Metabolism of 4-[1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl]-2-methylaminothiazole (SM-8849), a novel immunomodulatory agent, in rats was investigated. By co-chromatography with authentic samples, desmethylated (SM-8800) p-hydroxylated (SL-5512) and desmethylated-p-hydroxylated SM-8849 (SL-5515) were detected in the bile. Thermospray mass spectrometry (TSP-MS) analysis of five metabolites isolated from the bile revealed molecular ions of both conjugates (glucuronides and a sulfate) and their aglycones. Aglycone structures were determined by comparison of their product spectra with those of authentic standards. Further analyses of conjugation sites were carried out by 1H-NMR including differential NOE. As a result, the sulfate of SL-5515 (5515-S), the N-glucuronides of SL-5512 and SM-8849 (5512-NG and 8849-NG, respectively), the glucuronide of SL-5512 (5512-G) and the O-glucuronide of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-SM-8849 (CatOMe-OG) were identified. In addition, N-methylthiouras was identified in urine by LC/MS/MS.
