Abstract: | Metabolic pathways of the oxime K-48 have been elucidated by means of in vitro and in vivo experiments. K-48 exposure to rat
liver microsomal fraction resulted in the formation of a hydroxylated derivative, in addition to a small molecular fragment.
The in vivo metabolism in rats was investigated after intramuscular administration of 50 μmol oxime. K-48 was present in the
rat serum in unchanged form. Similarly, the analysis of rat cerebrospinal fluid indicated the sole occurrence of unchanged
K-48. In contrast, unchanged K-48 was not found in the rat urine, where only the metabolite generated by epoxidation on the
alkyl chain connecting the two pyridinium rings was present. The presence of unchanged K-48 in the serum and cerebrospinal
fluid facilitates quantitative determination using HPLC separation and ultraviolet absorbance detection.
