of m/z 123.0440 (C7H7O2) in LC-HR-MS/MS. Furthermore, the other three glucuronides (nos. 68-70) showed keto groups at the pyrrolidine ring. The fact, that the corresponding phase I metabolites could not be detected after conjugate cleavage with subsequent SPE, non-basic structures could be proposed, which led to the suggestion of lactam ring formation following hydroxylation at the α-position and further oxidation.
