PZ-DHA undergoes phase II metabolism in the presence of freshly prepared mouse liver microsomes. PZ-DHA (1.1 µM) was incubated with S-(5′-adenosyl)-L-methionine chloride dihydrochloride (1 mM), glucuronic acid (2 mM) and alamethicin (25 µg/mL) and adenosine 3′-phosphate 5′-phosphosulfate lithium salt, hydrate (0.5 mM) in the presence of mouse liver microsomal enzymes (3 mg/mL) at 37 °C for 1 h. (A) Tri-methylated-PZ-DHA (4,4′,6′-tri-O-methyl-phloridzin docosahexaenoate) (MW = 788.88 g/mol), (B) phloridzin docosahexaenoate-4-O-glucuronide (MW = 923.02 g/mol) and phloridzin docosahexaenoate-4′-O-glucuronide (MW = 923.02 g/mol), and (C) sulfated-PZ-DHA (phloridzin docosahexaenoate-4,4′-di-O-sulphide) metabolite (MW = 906.20 g/mol) were identified.
