Abstract excerpt
One of major metabolic pathways of [(+/-)-4-(4-cyanoanilino)-5,6-dihydro-7-hydroxy-7H-cyclopenta[d]-pyrimidine] (RS-8359), a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase type A inhibitor, is the aldehyde oxidase-catalyzed 2-hydroxylation at the pyrimidine ring. Donryu rats showed a dimorphic pattern for the 2-oxidation activity with about 20- to 40-fold variations in the Vmax/Km values between a low and a high...
