Abstract: | The metabolism of the fluoroquinolone drugs ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin by Pestalotiopsis guepini strain P-8 was investigated. Cultures were grown at 28 degrees C in sucrose/peptone broth for 18 days after dosing with ciprofloxacin (300 microM) or norfloxacin (313 microM). Four major metabolites were produced from each drug; and these were purified by high-performance liquid chromatography and identified by mass spectrometry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Ciprofloxacin metabolites included N-acetylciprofloxacin (52.0%), desethylene-N-acetylciprofloxacin (9.2%), N-formylciprofloxacin (4.2%), and 7-amino-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (2.3%). Norfloxacin metabolites included N-acetylnorfloxacin (55.4%), desethylene-N-acetylnorfloxacin (8.8%), N-formylnorfloxacin (3.6%), and 7-amino-1-ethyl-6-fluoro4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (2.1%). N-Formylciprofloxacin and the four transformation products from norfloxacin are all known to be mammalian metabolites. |
