Fragmentation patterns of KAE609 and metabolites

Structural characterization of metabolites was carried out by LC-MS/MS analysis. The proposed structures of the metabolites were based on their elemental composition derived from accurate mass measurements and fragment ions in their data-dependent MS2 and MS3 mass spectra. Comparison of metabolite fragment ions with those of KAE609 allowed the assignment of regions of biotransformation, as presented in Figure 5.
