title: Isolation, synthesis, and pharmacology of metabolites of 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidone.
abstract: The metabolism of 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidone, an antianxiety/antidepressant agent, in dogs is reported. Two metabolites, 3-[1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-1-ureido]propanoic acid and 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)uracil, were isolated, characterized, and synthesized. Neither metabolite was acutely toxic, and they did not exhibit antidepressant or antianxiety/anticonvulsant activity.
