Isolation and identification of the glucuronide of 4-(3H-1,2-dihydro-1-pyrrolizinone-2-methylamino)benzoic acid from rabbit urine
2002
Abstract The metabolic profile of 3 H -1,2-dihydro-2-(4-methylphenylamino)methyl-1-pyrrolizinone (SFZ-47), a putative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pro-drug, has been studied in rabbit urine. Semi-preparative reversed-phase HPLC of 24 h urine from two rabbits given single oral doses of SFZ-47 (200 mg) allowed the separation of SFZ-47 together with the oxidative metabolite 4-(3 H -1,2-dihydro-1-pyrrolizinone-2-methylamino)benzoic acid (SFZ-47-COOH) and its glucuronide conjugate. The glucuronide was characterized by ESI-MS n and 1 H NMR and shown to be the 1- O -acyl β- d -glucuronide conjugate of SFZ-47-COOH. The method gave excellent resolution of the glucuronide from endogenous constituents in urine and may be suitable for the preparation of glucuronide metabolites of other drugs.
