- Abstract
Stability of furosemide glucuronide, the major metabolite of furosemide, was studied in order to accurately assess the glucuronidation of furosemide. Furosemide glucuronide was purified by high-performance liquid chromatography, and the mass spectrum of furosemide glucuronide showed the molecular ion peaks [M-H]- at 505 and 507 (m/z). Furosemide glucuronide was photodegraded to the compound, which was shown more hydrophilic than furosemide glucuronide by high-performance liquid chromatography assay. The photodegradation product of furosemide glucuronide was hydrolyzed to one of the photodegradation products of furosemide by beta-glucuronidase, indicating that the photodegradation product of furosemide glucuronide possessed a glucuronic acid moiety. Furthermore, the mass spectrum of the photodegradation product of furosemide glucuronide exhibited molecular ion peaks [M-H]- at 487 and [M-2H+2Na]- at 509, indicating the chlorine displacement of furosemide glucuronide by a hydroxyl group. Furosemide glucuronide was unstable in an aqueous solution (pH=7.4), and presumed acyl migration isomers of furosemide glucuronide (furosemide glucuronide-isomers) were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with photodiode array UV detector. The UV spectra of seven furosemide glucuronide-isomers were closely similar to that of furosemide glucuronide but not furosemide. Exposing a mixture of furosemide glucuronide and furosemide glucuronide-isomers to light resulted in the production of new compounds. UV spectra of photodegradation products of furosemide glucuronide-isomers were closely similar to those of photodegradation product of furosemide glucuronide. These results suggested that furosemide glucuronide-isomers were also photodegraded, resulting in the displacement of chlorine by a hydroxyl group as in furosemide glucuronide.
