Purpose:
- To identify and characterize the metabolites of aethozine following administration to rats.
- To elucidate the biotransformation pathways of aethozine in a mammalian system.
- To provide a comprehensive profile of aethozine metabolism.
Summary:
- A study involving aethozine metabolism in rat urine identified a total of 14 metabolites.
- Key identified metabolites include 2-aminophenothiazine, 2-acetylamide-phenothiazine, and the ethyl ether of phenothiazine-carbamine-2-acid, along with their respective sulphoxides.
- A characteristic finding was the significant formation of transformation products resulting from the complete degradation of the aethozine side chain.
