Incubation with 50% deuterium-labeled PCP indicates that these compounds are metabolites by monitoring the resulting doublets found in their mass spectra. The time, cofactor, and protein-dependent formation of these compounds confirms that they are indeed, metabolites. DPEA inhibits the production of the four quantitated metabolites with maximal I50 values of approximately 50 microM, implying the involvement of cytochrome P-450 in these reactions. %U https://dmd.aspetjournals.org/content/dmd/9/3/274.full.pdf
