TLDR
After hydrolysis with glusulase of bile from rats treated with papaverine, four metabolites (A, B, C and D) were separated and the structures A, B and C were established as monodemethylated compounds, 4'-desmethyl, 7-des methyl-, and 6-desmethylpapaverine.
Abstract
1. After hydrolysis with glusulase of bile from rats treated with papaverine, four metabolites (A, B, C and D) were separated.2. The structures of A, B and C were established as the monodemethylated compounds, 4′-desmethyl-, 7-desmethyl-, and 6-desmethylpapaverine, respectively.3. D was formed from papaverine by bis-demethylation. Since it was found in cat bile after administering either A or C, but not B, it was identified as 4′,6-desmethylpapaverine.

Microbial models for drug metabolism.

TL;DR: The routine screening of a carefully selected group of 10-40 microorganisms may be used to quickly assess the probability of producing drug metabolites, and the most striking similarities in microbial and mammalian metabolic systems lie in their respective cytochrome P450 hemoprotein monooxygenases.

Changes in glutathione and cellular energy as potential mechanisms of papaverine-induced hepatotoxicity in vitro

TL;DR: It is suggested that the mechanism of papaver-induced hepatotoxicity may be related to alterations in glutathione balance of the cells and to disruption of energy homeostasis.

Metabolism and metabolomics of opiates: A long way of forensic implications to unravel.

TL;DR: This work aims to review the metabolism and metabolomics of opiates with particular interest on their relevance as potential clinical and forensic antemortem and postmortem biomarkers of long-term heroin addiction.

Assaying embryotoxicity in the test tube: Current limitations of the embryonic stem cell test (EST) challenging its applicability domain

TL;DR: The EST performed well below the 78% accuracy expected from the validation study using a new set of chemicals and pharmaceutical compounds, and also of toxicity criteria, tested to enlarge the database of the validated EST.

Microbial models of mammalian metabolism O-demethylations of papaverine.

TL;DR: The O-demethylation of papaverine was studied with sixty micro-organisms and ten organisms were found to actively metabolize this drug in a manner similar to that of mammals.

Opium Alkaloids VII. Isolation of a New Benzylisoquinoline Alkaloid. Synthesis and NMR Studies of Papaveroline Trimethyl Ethers

TL;DR: A new phenolic alkaloid was isolated from opium and named palaudine and characterized spectroscopically as 1-(3′-hydroxy-4′-methoxybenzyl)-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline and the structure confirmed by synthesis.

Metabolism of papaverine. III. Effect of phenobarbital, 3-methylcholanthrene and SKF 525-A pre-treated in vivo and in vitro.

TL;DR: Pre-treatment of rats with phenobarbital enhanced the activity of papaverine O-demethylase, whereas pre-treatment with 3-methylcholanthrene did not and pre- treatment with SKF 525-A markedly inhibited the enzyme.

The excretion of 3H-papaverine in the rat

TL;DR: The results suggest that the bile is the main route of excretion of papaverine metabolites and that enterohepatic circulation of these metabolites is not important.
