Structural characterization of [14C]propargite metabolites in goat urine by high-resolution FT-NMR and mass spectrometry

Urinary metabolites of [phenyl-U-14C]propargite, 2-[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenoxy]cyclohexyl-2-propynyl sulfite, a nonsystemic acaricide, in a lactating goat were identified. The goat received three consecutive daily doses equivalent to 340 ppm of propargite in the daily diet. The animal was sacrific...

Description
Summary:Urinary metabolites of [phenyl-U-14C]propargite, 2-[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenoxy]cyclohexyl-2-propynyl sulfite, a nonsystemic acaricide, in a lactating goat were identified. The goat received three consecutive daily doses equivalent to 340 ppm of propargite in the daily diet. The animal was sacrificed 8 h after the last dosing. A major route of elimination was found to be via the urine. Five major metabolites were isolated and characterized by FT-NMR and mass spectrometry. These compounds resulted from the hydrolysis of propynyl sulfite and subsequent hydroxylation of the tert-butyl portion of the molecule. Additional metabolites were formed by further oxidation or sulfation of the tert-butyl portion of the molecule and oxidation of the cyclohexyl moiety. The latter reaction yielded different stereoisomers with identical HPLC retention times
