Metabolism of [14C]bicifadine by mouse, rat, monkey, and human hepatic hepatocytes

Isolated hepatocytes (0.75 × 106 cells/ml) were incubated with 10 μM [14C]bicifadine with an atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37°C for 60 and 180 min as described under Materials and Methods. The formation of the products was measured using HPLC with radioflow detection.
