ID: injected dose; NA: not applicable. a C8 m/z corresponds to the doubly charged species. b The m/z values reported for MMAE and its catabolites were from the most abundant ion incorporating one 3H. c Catabolites C5 and C6 shared the same retention time. Therefore, the combined total %ID of catabolites C5 and C6 is listed in the table. d Catabolite C7 was detected in three matrices: plasma, bile, and urine. The detected amount of C7 in the plasma was too low to calculate a percentage of the ID.
