title: Metabolism of metapramine in vitro by chemical model systems and rat liver microsomes.
abstract: Metapramine (Timaxel) was oxidised by hepatic microsomes from rat and by biomimetic chemical systems; vanadyl acetylacetonate-iodylbenzene, phthalocyanin-iron II-iodosylbenzene, meso tetraphenyl porphyrine-iron III chloride-iodosylbenzene and Fenton's reagent. The major metabolite in all cases was the monodemethylated product formed by oxydative removal of the methyl group on the endocyclic nitrogen atom.
