Popis: We have investigated the in vitro metabolism of pectenotoxin-2 (PTX-2) using primary hepatocytes from Wistar rats in suspension. Purified PTX-2 was rapidly metabolized. Two major and several minor oxidized PTX-2 metabolites were formed, none of which had retention times corresponding to PTX-1, -11, or −13. Hydrolysis products, such as PTX-2 seco acid, were not observed. Preliminary multi-stage LC-MS analyses indicated that the major hepatic PTX-2 metabolites resulted from the insertion of an oxygen atom at the positions C-19 to C-24, or at C-44. The rapid oxidative metabolism may explain the low oral toxicity of PTXs observed in vivo studies.
