TL;DR
A center carbon atom of 1,3-diketone moiety of phenylbutazone was oxidized to give three metabolites by the action of enzymes present in leukocyte extract obtained from peritoneal exudate of rats.
Abstract
A center carbon atom of 1,3-diketone moiety of phenylbutazone was oxidized to give three metabolites--4-hydroxyphenylbutazone (metabolite I), 4-hydroperoxyphenylbutazone (metabolite II) and 4-chlorophenylbutazone (metabolite III)--by the action of enzymes present in leukocyte extract obtained from peritoneal exudate of rats. Both metabolites II and III were produced by peroxidases, while metabolite I was produced by enzymes other than the peroxidases.
