[Metabolism of the local anaesthetic fomocaine by rat liver mitochondria (author's transl)].
Fomocaine (Erbocain) is metabolized by different routes in rat and beagle. By highly purified rat liver mitochondria it was metabolized to its N-oxide only. The N-oxide was reduced to fomocaine by a reductase localised in the matrix or in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. C-Hydroxylation with subsequent conjugation reactions as well as oxidative N- or O-dealkylation found in intact animals were not observed in mitochondria.
