Summary

SDZ-IMM-125 N-methyl leucine 9 hydroxylated in the γ position is a metabolite which was extracted from incubated human liver microsomes and subsequently separated by normal and reverse-phase HPLC. This metabolite was identified by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, electrospray-ms/ms mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Thein vitro 50% inhibitory concentration, tested against bidirectional mixed lymphocyte reaction was 80 μg/l indicating that this metabolite does not retainin vitro immunosuppressive activity most probably due to the structural modification of SDZ-IMM-125 in the recognized binding region to cyclophilin A reducing its binding affinity relative to the parent drug.
