  • a The method of identification is given in parenthesees: FAB, MS/MS (CID), or GC-MS (electron impact ionization).

  • b Rf values on thin layer developed in butanol/acetic acid/water (4:1:1 v/v).

  • c Molecular ion: MH+ in FAB and M+ in GC-MS measurements.

  • d The values represent the amount of parent compound remained unchanged during the 24-h incubation period and the relative amounts of metabolite formed in 24 h. They are expressed as mean ± S.D. (n = 3).

  • e The values in parentheses represent the ratio of glucuronide conjugate and phase I metabolite.

  • f Phenylcamphene and phenylbornylene (M+ = 212) were identified by GC-MS instead of phenylborneol (M+ = 230).

  • g Hydroxy-phenylcamphene and hydroxy-phenylbornylene (M+ = 228) were identified by GC-MS instead of hydroxy-phenylborneol (M+ = 244).
