ANALYSIS OF THE METABOLITE OF 7-(4-CHLORBENZYL)-7,8,13,13a-TETRAHYDROBERBERINE IN RABBIT / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

AIM　To explore the biotransformation of compound 7-(4-chlorbenzyl)-7,8,13,13a-tetrahydroberberine in the rabbit. METHODS　Analyze the rabbit bile sample with HPLC, LC/MS and LC/NMR. RESULTS　A metabolite and unchanged 7-(4-chlorbenzyl)-7,8,13,13a-tetrahydroberberine were found in the rabit bile, the metabolite was characterized and its structure was elucidated. CONCLUSION　Compound 7-(4-chlorbenzyl)-7,8,13,13a-tetrahydroberberine is metabolized by demethylation at 10-OCH3 position.
