Abstract

2-Methylaminoethyl- 4,4' -dimethoxy- 5, 5',6,6' -dimethylenedioxybiphenyl- 2' -carboxy- 2-carboxylate (DDB-S) is a synthetic compound derived from DDB. which is protects liver against carbon tetrachloride-, D-galactosamine-, thioacetamine-, and prednisolone- induced hepatic injury in experimental animals. We assessed the use of liquid chromatography/electrospray iontrap tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method to identify and quantify in vivo metabolites and to measure excretion. (omitted)
