Stability of RD2 and l-RD2 in SGF, SIF, human plasma and human liver microsomes. RD2 and l-RD2 were incubated in SGF, SIF, human plasma and human liver microsomes. In SGF (A) and SIF (B), RD2 remained stable for 24 h. In contrast, l-RD2 was degraded by 23 ± 4% within the same time in SGF and was even completely metabolized within a few seconds in SIF. Human plasma (C) and human liver microsomes (D) metabolized l-RD2 several hundred times faster than RD2. Peak areas of the unmetabolized peptides after different incubation times were normalized to the peptides’ peak areas after direct extraction from the media. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3).
