The identification and quantitation of the major metabolites of ethylamphetamine, produced by rabbit liver microsomal preparations.
Amphetamine (I), 1-phenylpropan-2-ol (III), phenylacetone (V), N-hydroxyethylamphetamine (VII), and alpha-methyl-N-(1'-phenylprop-2'-yl)nitrone (VIII) were obtained as metabolic products from the incubation of ethylamphetamine (II) with fortified male rabbit liver 9000 g supernatant fractions. These metabolites were identified by comparing their t.l.c., g,l.c. and g.l.c.-m.s. behaviour to that of reference compounds. A method for the quantitative analysis of the metabolites in mixtures using g.l.c. techniques is described.
