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. [graphic removed]
