Metabolism of verruculogen in rats.

Abstract

Radiolabeled verruculogen was detected in a wide range of body tissues 6 min after intravenous administration, but after a further 20 min it was mainly being excreted via the biliary route. In isolated liver perfusion, [14C]verruculogen was rapidly taken up by the liver and metabolized completely, principally to the related tremorgen TR-2 but also to a desoxy derivative of verruculogen. In addition, a smaller amount of an isomer of TR-2 was detected. These metabolic products were excreted in the bile.
