Degradation metabolite

To select and define the target analytes for the residue analysis of crops in a field trial, applicants should consider metabolites/degradation products of the test materials by conducting plant and animal metabolism studies and by assessing toxicity of the metabolites/degradation products. 

Almost 10% of the TRR level of the metabolites/degradation products will be selected and defined as the analytes for residue analysis. 

The structure of the compounds to be analyzed is usually known, but there are cases where unknown metabolites, degradation products, conjugates or species (e.g. 

The protocol will provide important date and time requirements. Estimated start and completion dates for the study are required by regulation. In addition, the Study Director may specify a maximum storage time of the RAC prior to processing if the chemical in question or its metabolites degrade rapidly. A maximum time after generation of a processed fraction before that fraction is placed into frozen storage may also be specified. A maximum storage time prior to shipment may also be specified.

A major area for research includes further establishing key biomarkers of exposure. Because each agent may have multiple metabolites, degradation products, protein or DNA adducts, there are many potential biomarkers. Establishing which are most suitable depends on multiple factors including cost, the analytical standards required, and laboratory expertise. The methodology for assessing each biomarker would then have to be validated and a QC system put in place. 

With the proliferation of mass spectrometers in dmg metabolism came a vast amount of data to be processed and understood. In particular, techniques and tools for identification of unknown compounds such as metabolites, degradation products, or impurities have seen continual improvement in recent years, especially with respect to data obtained under high-resolution (and presumed high-mass-accuracy) conditions. A few possible approaches are summarized here. 

A well-defined method development plan with clear aim of analysis is critical to the success for fast and effective method development. The general approach for the method development for the separation of pharmaceutical compounds was discussed, emphasizing that modifications in the mobile phase (organic and pH) play a dramatic role on the separation selectivity. The knowledge of the Ka of the primary compound is of utmost importance prior to the commencement of HPLC method development. Moreover, pH screening experiments can help to discern the ionizable nature of the other impurities (i.e., synthetic by-products, metabolites, degradation products, etc.) in the mixture. 

Samples such as metabolites, degradation products, and natural products may be very laborious to isolate and purify and are often available in only extremely small quantities. The sensitivity of NMR is considered low vis a vis other structural methods such as UV, IR,... 

There are many examples in the literature of applications of LC-NMR in natural products, food analysis, " metabolites degradation products, drug impurities, and drug discovery. " ... 

While Y-IX ) I ATATE. ii ln-DOTATATE and Sm-DOTATATE were eliminated via urine in almost unchanged forms, in the case of DOTATATE a significant portion of the polar metabolites (degradation products) was observable in the urine 24 h post-injection (Fig. 5.7). Excretion of radioactivity via faeces was lower than that via urine, but the portion of radioactivity eliminated by this pathway was significant (12-20%) for all peptides under study. The chemical form in which the radioactivity was present in the faeces was not determined.

Following release to the environment, synthetic chemicals may be degraded by biotic and abiotic processes. The degradation of the chemical can follow a plethora of pathways and a range of other substances can be formed via these different pathways (e.g. [1]). A munber of terms have been used for these substances including metabolites, degradates and transformation products -in this book we use the term transformation products. While we often know a lot about the environmental properties and effects of the parent synthetic chemical, we know much less about the transformation products.

Cytochrome P-450s are the best-known class of hydroxylation enzyme. Their active sites contain a heme iron that forms a highly activated oxygenating species that reacts by a radical mechanism. In higher animals, they function primarily in metabolite degradation as part of pathways that clear unnatural substances such as toxins and drugs. Hydroxylation inaeases polarity that facilitates further derivatization by other detoxification enzymes or excretion of the hydroxylated products. Other P-450 family members are involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis, particularly in plants and microbial cells (Figure 1.6).
