Enzymic synthesis of two glucuronides of the hydroxyisoxazole GABA-agonist, THIP, and the in vivo glucuronidation of THIP in rat
Abstract
1. A method for preparative enzymic synthesis of two glucuronides of THIP (3-hydroxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-isoxazolo[5,4-c]pyridine) is described. 2. Using FAB mass spectrometry, u.v. and 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy, the two glucuronides were identified as N- and O-glucuronides respectively. 3. An h.p.l.c. method for determination of THIP and the two intact glucuronides in urine has been developed. 4. The glucuronidation pattern of THIP in rats has been examined; THIP was excreted as a THIP-O-glucuronide but not as a THIP-N-glucuronide.
