4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 Metabolism/Metabolites

Marked differences were observed, in the ability of fortified 9000 g liver homogenate supernatants from three species to reduce 1-phenyl-2-propanone to the corresponding alcohol. This metabolic keto-reduction was negligible in homogenates from the rat and extensive in the rabbit; guinea-pig liver homogenates had intermediate ability. Metabolic oxidation of 1-phenyl-2-propanol was negligible in all three species. The amount of deamination of amphetamine and of N-n-propylamphetamine was approximately equal, in vitro, in rats and guinea-pigs but two to three times greater in liver homogenates from rabbits. Approximately three times more deaminated products were formed from the in vitro metabolism of N-n-propylamphetamine than from amphetamine metabolism by all three species.

Phenylacetone was found to be the major metabolite formed when 2-nitro-1-phenylpropane was incubated with rabbit liver microsomes. The enzymatic character of the reaction was demonstrated by the increase of product with microsomal protein and dependency on NADPH and oxygen. Furthermore, phenobarbital induction markedly increased the formation of phenylacetone. Carbon monoxide decreased the reaction indicating the involvement of a metalloenzyme. Experiments with H2(18)O indicated that the carbonyl oxygen originated from water. It is suggested that the microsomal metabolism of 2-nitro-1-phenylpropane involves an enzymatic step followed by chemical hydrolysis of an intermediate, possibly a secondary nitronic acid.

Amphetamine is deaminated oxidatively by highly purified rat liver mitochondria. This monoamineoxidase (MAO) is an enzyme of the mitochondrial outer membrane and its activity is about two times higher than that of the microsomal MAO. Anaerobic incubations with mitochondria reduce phenylacetone, an important metabolite of amphetamine, to phenylisopropanol. The ketoreductase is localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane or its matrix.

Fenetylline is metabolized in humans on two pathways. In addition to previously described degradation to amphetamine and 7-oxyethyltheophylline fenetylline undergoes moreover oxydative N-dealkylation to yield 7-aminoethyltheophylline and phenylacetone.
