  • 3-a Values represent the recoveries of the radioactive doses in the collection intervals.

  • 3-b Values represent the total excretion of dihydoxy metabolites (V, VI, and VII) hydroxylated on the side chain and also on the tetracyclic ring system.

  • 3-c Metabolites characterized as acidic on the basis of solvent partition data.

  • 3-d Metabolite V in this fraction accounted for nearly 60% of the radioactivity.

  • 3-e Metabolite V in this fraction was identified tentatively.

  • 3-f Metabolites V, VI, andVII each accounted for 20–30% of the radioactivity in this fraction.

  • 3-g Metabolite VII in this fraction accounted for nearly 80% of the radioactivity.
