代谢
3-(4-甲氧基苯甲酰)-1-戊基吲哚(RCS-4),一种合成吲哚衍生的拟大麻素,最早是由匈牙利当局于2010年通过早期预警系统报告给欧洲药物和药物成瘾监测中心的,后来在爱尔兰的合法药店的测试购买中被识别出来。通过气相色谱-质谱联用技术,我们在因药物中毒症状入院的人的尿样中识别出了一系列RCS-4的代谢物。这些代谢物暂时被识别为以下反应的产物:(i)芳香族单羟基化;(ii)二羟基化;(iii)芳香族羟基化/氧化N-戊基链为酮;(iv)脱甲基;(v)脱甲基/单羟基化N-戊基链;(vi)脱甲基/氧化N-戊基链为酮;(vii)脱甲基/芳香族羟基化/氧化N-戊基链为酮;(viii)N-脱戊基化/芳香族单羟基化;以及(ix)N和O-脱烷基化。母化合物未被检测到。发现脱甲基代谢物是识别RCS-4摄入的最有用的代谢标志物。
3-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)-1-pentylindole (RCS-4), a synthetic indole-derived cannabimimetic, was first reported to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction via the Early Warning System by Hungarian authorities in 2010 and later identified in head shop test purchases in Ireland. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, we have identified a series of RCS-4 metabolites in urine samples from individuals admitted to hospitals with symptoms of drug intoxication. The metabolites were tentatively identified as products of (i) aromatic monohydroxylation; (ii) dihydroxylation; (iii) aromatic hydroxylation/oxidation of the N-pentyl chain to a ketone; (iv) O-demethylation; (v) O-demethylation/monohydroxylation of N-pentyl chain; (vi) O-demethylation/oxidation of the N-pentyl chain to a ketone; (vii) O-demethylation/aromatic hydroxylation/oxidation of the N-pentyl chain to a ketone; (viii) N-depentylation/aromatic monohydroxylation; and (ix) N and O-dealkylation. The parent compound was not detected. The O-demethylated metabolites were found to be the most useful metabolic markers for the identification of RCS-4 ingestion.
