Direct deamination of 2°
amine is an exception [52]. Some 2° alicyclic amines like
phenmatrizine (anorectic agent) and methylphenidate are metabolized to their corresponding lactam derivatives [53]. Metabolic N-oxidation of 2°
clic amines leads to several N-oxygenated products. Hydroxylation of 2°
aliphatic and alicy-
amines such
as N-benzylamphetamine, methyl phenindate and phenmetrazine (Fig.6.32) generates corresponding N-hydroxylamine metabolites which are susceptible for further
oxidation to form corresponding nitrone derivatives [54]. In comparison with oxida-

tive dealkylation and deamination, N-oxidation occurs to a much lesser extent for 2°
amines. Primary aliphatic amines are metabolized either by oxidative deamination
(carbinolamine pathway) or by N-oxidation [55]. Examples for endogenous primary
amines are neurotransmitters like dopamine, tryptamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. In amphetamine and phenteramine (Fig.6.33), structural features, especially
the α-substituents of the primary amine, often determine whether carbon or nitrogen
oxidations will occur [56].
6.3.7.1.2 Aromatic amines and heterocyclic nitrogen compounds
Metabolism of aromatic amines parallels the carbon and nitrogen oxidation reactions
of aliphatic amines [57]. F
ertiary aromatic amines, such as N,N-dimethylaniline,
or t
oxidative N-dealkylation as well as N-oxide formation take place (Fig.6.34).
Secondary aromatic amines may undergo N-dealkylation or N-hydroxylation to
give the corresponding N-hydroxylamines. Further oxidation of the N-hydroxylamine
leads to nitrone products, which in turn may be hydrolyzed to primary hydroxylamines (Fig.6.35).

Tertiary and secondary aromatic amines are rarely seen in medicinal agents. Primary
aromatic amines are found in many drugs as well as in reduced metabolites of aromatic nitro compounds, azo compounds, and aromatic amides [58, 59]. N-Oxidation
of primary aromatic amines like dapsone (Fig.6.36) generates the N-hydroxylamine
metabolites. These hydroxylamine derivatives may undergo either further oxidation
to nitroso metabolites or conjugation with glucuronic acid [60].
Several aromatic amines like dapsone after bioconversion into N-hydroxy deriva-
tives cause methemoglobinemia toxicity. N-hydroxyl amine metabolites the oxidized

ferrous form of hemoglobin to the ferric form. This oxidized form of hemoglobin is
called as “methemoglobin” or “ferrrihemoglobin”. Methemoglobin is unstable to
transport oxygen and therefore leads to serious hypoxia and anemia [61]. N-oxidation
of azoaminodyes like N-methyl-4-amino azo benzene (carcinogenic agent) (Fig.6.37)
results in the formation of potentially reactive electrophilic metabolites. These metabolites bind covalently to cellular proteins, DNA and RNA [62].
N-oxidation of the nitrogen atoms present in aromatic heterocyclic moieties of
many drugs, for example trimethoprim (Fig.6.38), occurs to a minor extent [63].

6.3.7.1.3 Oxidation of amides
Amide functionalities are susceptible to oxidative carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage (via
α-carbon h
ydroxylation) and N-hydroxylation reactions. Oxidative dealkylation proceeds via an initially formed carbinolamide, which is unstable and fragments to form
the N-dealkylated product. For example, diazepam (Fig.6.39) undergoes extensive
N-demethylation to the pharmacologically active metabolite desmethyldiazepam [64].

In the cyclic amides or lactams, hydroxylation of the alicyclic carbon α to the nitro-
gen atom also leads to carbinolamides. An example of this pathway is the conversion of cotinine to 5-hydroxycotinine (Fig.6.40). This carbinolamide intermediate
is in tautomeric equilibrium with the ring-opened metabolite γ-(3-pyridyl)-γ-oxo-Nmethylbutyramide [65]. N-Hydroxylation of aromatic amides, for example 2-acetylaminoflurene, may lead to the formation of chemically reactive intermediates. These
intermediates are carcinogenic or cytotoxic in nature [66].

6.3.7.2 Oxidation involving C-O bonds
Oxidative O-dealkylation of carbon-oxygen systems (mainly ethers) is catalyzed by
microsomal mix
ed-function oxidases. This biotransformation involves an initial
α-carbon hydroxylation to form either a hemiacetal or a hemiketal (Fig.6.41), which
undergoes carbon-oxygen bond cleavage to yield the dealkylated oxygen species
(phenol or alcohol) and a carbon moiety (aldehyde or ketone). Small alkyl groups
(e.g., methyl or ethyl) attached to oxygen are O-dealkylated rapidly [67]. For example,
morphine is the metabolic product of O-demethylation of codeine. Other drugs that
undergo O-dealkylation are indomethacin, prazosin and metoprolol.

In drugs that have several nonequivalent methoxy groups, one particular methoxy
group is O-demethylated selectively or preferentially [68]. For example, 3, 4, 5-trimethoxy phenyl moiety in both mescaline and trimethoprim undergoes 3-O-demethylation preferentially (Fig.6.42).

6.3.7.3 Oxidation involving C-S bonds
Carbon-sulfur functional groups are susceptible to S-dealkylation, desulfuration and
S-o
xidation metabolic reactions. Both S-dealkylation and desulfuration involve oxidative cleavage of C-S bond. S-dealkylation is similar to N- and O-dealkylation and
involves α-carbon hydroxylation [69]. For example, 6-(methylthio)purine is demethylated oxidatively to 6-mercaptopurine (Fig.6.43).

Oxidative conversion of C=S double bonds to corresponding C=O double bond is
called desulfuration [70]. A well-known drug example of desulfuration is the conversion of thiopental to its corresponding oxygen analog pentobarbital (Fig.6.44). Desulfuration reaction also occurs with the P=S moiety (converted to P=O in the metabolite)
present in several organophosphate insecticides, such as parathion [71, 72].
Organosulfur compounds commonly undergo S-oxidation to yield sulfoxide
derivatives. Several phenothiazine derivatives are metabolized by this pathway. For
example, both sulfur atoms present in thioridazine are susceptible to S-oxidation
(Fig.6.45). Oxidation of the 2-methylthio group yields the active sulfoxide metabolite
mesoridazine. Interestingly, mesoridazine is twice as potent an antipsychotic agent as
thioridazine in humans [73, 74].

S-oxidation is one of the important metabolic reactions in the H2-histamine antagonist cimetidine and metiamide. The corresponding sulfoxide derivatives are the major
human urinary metabolites [75]. Sulfoxide drugs and metabolites may be further
oxidized to sulfones (-SO
-). The sulfoxide group present in the immunosuppressive
2
agent oxisuran is metabolized to a sulfone moiety (Fig.6.46). Sulfoxide metabolites,
such as those of thioridazine, reportedly undergo further oxidation to their sulfone
derivatives [76].

6.3.7.3.1 Oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes
Many oxidative processes like benzylic, allylic, alicyclic, or aliphatic hydroxylation of
corr
esponding drugs generate alcohol or carbinol metabolites as intermediate products. If not conjugated, these alcohol metabolites are further oxidized to aldehydes or
ketones. Aldehyde metabolites resulting from oxidation of primary alcohols or from
oxidative deamination of primary aliphatic amines undergo simple oxidation to generate polar carboxylic acid metabolites (Fig.6.47). Primary alcoholic and aldehyde
functionalities are completely vulnerable to oxidation.

Although secondary alcohols are susceptible to oxidation, this reaction is not often
important because the reverse reaction, namely, reduction of the ketone back to the
secondary alcohol, occurs quite readily. In addition, the secondary alcohol group,
being polar and functionalized, is more likely to be conjugated than the ketone moiety
(Fig.6.48).

Soluble or microsomal dehydrogenase and oxidases are involved in oxidizing the
carbinol group of the intermediate carbinolamine to a carbonyl moiety. For example,
in the metabolism of medazepam to diazepam (Fig.6.49), the intermediate carbinolamine (2-hydroxymedazepam) undergoes oxidation of its 2-hydroxy group to a carbonyl moiety [77].

6.3.7.3.2 Miscellaneous oxidative biotransformations
In addition to the many oxidative biotransformations discussed previously, oxidative
aromatization or deh
ydrogenation and oxidative dehalogenation reactions also occur.
Metabolic aromatization has been reported for norgestrel (Fig.6.50). Aromatization
or dehydrogenation of the ring-A present in this steroid leads to the corresponding
phenolic product 17α-ethinyl-18-homoestradiol as a minor metabolite in women [78].

Many halogen-containing drugs and xenobiotics are metabolized by oxidative dehalogenation. For example, the volatile anesthetic agent halothane is metabolized to
trifluoroacetic acid [79]. It has been suggested that this metabolite arises from hydroxylation of halothane to form an initial carbinol intermediate that eliminates hydrogen
bromide (dehalogenation) to yield trifluoroacetylchloride (Fig.6.51). The latter acyl
chloride is chemically reactive and reacts rapidly with water to form trifluoroacetic
acid. Alternatively, it can acylate tissue nucleophiles. Indeed, in vitro studies indicate
that halothane is metabolized to a reactive intermediate (presumably trifluoroacetyl
chloride), which covalently binds to liver microsomal proteins [80].

The dichloroacetamide portion of the antibiotic chloramphenicol undergoes oxidative dechlorination to yield a chemically reactive oxamyl chloride intermediate that
can react with water to form the corresponding oxamic acid metabolite or can acylate
microsomal proteins [82]. In several instances, oxidative dehalogenation can lead to
the formation of toxic and reactive acyl halide intermediates (Fig.6.53).
