title: Isolation, identification and synthesis of a metabolite of tazadolene succinate.
abstract: Metabolism of tazadolene (1), a novel non-opioid analgesic with antidepressant properties, affords the 4-hydroxy and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy derivatives (phenyl ring) of the drug, and N-[2-(phenylmethylene)cyclohexyl]-beta-alanine (4). The isolation, identification and synthesis of the latter metabolite is described.
