  • ND, not detected; NQ, detected by LC-MS/MS only, not quantifiable by radiodetector.

  • a Metabolites M6a and M6b were proposed as a glucuronide conjugate of AR-C124910 with a different retention time.

  • b Metabolite M9b was proposed as a glucuronide conjugate of parent with a different retention time as M9a.

  • c Sum of all other minor metabolites.
