title: Biotransformation of 1,8-cineole by human liver microsomes.
abstract: The biotransformation of 1,8-cineole has been investigated by using human liver microsomes. A single oxidized metabolite, 2-exo-hydroxy-1,8-cineole, was isolated. Its formation was investigated under various conditions by changing incubation time, P450 level in liver microsomes, and substrate concentration.
