TABLE 1

Summary of the metabolite profiles of compounds 1 and 2 obtained from incubations with liver S9 (human, rat), hepatocytes (human, rat), and bile (BDC rats)

The relative abundances (percentages) of the drug-related materials in incubations or matrices were estimated based on the UV peak areas (λ = 303 nm) assuming absorption coefficients of the parent compounds and their metabolites were similar. Metabolite names 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, and 2-2 are given in parentheses.
