Abstract
Methyltrienolone (17β-hydroxy-17α-methylestra-4,9,11-trien-3-one) is one of the anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The biotransformation of methyltrienolone is performed in vitro by human hepatocytes microsomes. Both phase I and phase II experiments are investigated. The incubation samples were extracted and injected to Liquid Chromatography/High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS), or reacted with methoxylamine (29 Da added) or hydroxylamine (15 Da added), to increase the detection sensitivity. The extracted ion chromatograms of the negative control and the positive samples are compared, and 7 groups of phase I metabolites were found. The metabolic pathways including 17-epimerization, mono-hydroxylation, dihydroxylation, reduced combining mono- or dihydroxylation, as well as 18-nor which are observed and tentatively identified according to the mass spectra by high resolution mass spectrometry. The 18-nor metabolites will potentially be the long-term metabolite in doping control analysis. Its main phase II metabolites, glucuronides of metabolites are all obtained and analyzed.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium directed towards the needs of academic, clinical, government and industrial analysis by publishing original research reports and critical reviews on pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. It covers the interdisciplinary aspects of analysis in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and clinical sciences, including developments in analytical methodology, instrumentation, computation and interpretation. Submissions on novel applications focusing on drug purity and stability studies, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic monitoring, metabolic profiling; drug-related aspects of analytical biochemistry and forensic toxicology; quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry are also welcome.
Studies from areas of well established and poorly selective methods, such as UV-VIS spectrophotometry (including derivative and multi-wavelength measurements), basic electroanalytical (potentiometric, polarographic and voltammetric) methods, fluorimetry, flow-injection analysis, etc. are accepted for publication in exceptional cases only, if a unique and substantial advantage over presently known systems is demonstrated. The same applies to the assay of simple drug formulations by any kind of methods and the determination of drugs in biological samples based merely on spiked samples. Drug purity/stability studies should contain information on the structure elucidation of the impurities/degradants.
