title: [Clemastine metabolites in the feces and urine of the rat].
abstract: After oral application of clemastine [(1), (+)-2-(2-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylethoxy]-ethyl)-1-methylpyrrol idine- hydrogenfumarate], to rats (200 mg/kg) 18 phase I- and II-metabolites have been detected and isolated from urine and faeces. They are products of fission of the ether bond, of aromatic and aliphatic oxidation, respectively, of alcoholic dehydration, decarboxylation, N-oxidation, O-methylation and conjugation as phase II steps. Phenolic compounds represent-in contrast to some other diphenylmethane derivatives, especially basic benzilates (propiverine, denaverine)-the main metabolic products formed by dihydrodiol mechanism or direct oxigenation. The structure of metabolites were elucidated by MS.
