Abstract
The urinary and biliary metabolites of (+)-4-[4-(4-methylphenyl)phenylmethoxy-1-piperidinyl]butyric acid [(+)-MPPB] were examined in rapid-metabolizing (RM) and slow-metabolizing (SM) male Sprague-Dawley rats by means of liquid chromatography-frit-fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. In the RM-phenotyped rats, unchanged (+)-MPPB could not be detected in urine or bile, but 4-carboxyphenyl-MPPB was detected in bile. In the SM-phenotyped rats, unchanged (+)-MPPB was detected in bile and unchanged (+)-MPPB and beta-oxidized MPPB in urine. Thus, the inter-individual difference in (+)-MPPB metabolism in rats was confirmed in vivo.
