The \u03b22,2-amino acid derivatives are virtually completely resistant against degradation by proteases, and to further explore their drug potential, we have investigated the hepatic Phase I metabolism of this class of antimicrobial compounds. The \u03b22,2-amino acid derivatives were incubated with murine liver microsomes and the metabolites analyzed semi-quantitatively by HPLC\u2013MS and qualitatively by ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to a tandem mass spectrometer which enabled identification of the metabolites by careful interpretation of the collision activated dissociation spectra. The study shows that sterically hindered \u03b22,2-amino acid derivatives that otherwise are stable against proteolytic degradation underwent Phase I metabolism and were oxidized to a number of different metabolites depending on the structure of the \u03b22,2-amino acid side-chains. \n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","_id":"","_status":"PUBLISHED","_sync_date":"2026-06-29 14:43:14","footnotes":""},"nva_tax_category":[1059],"class_list":["post-93876","nva_publication","type-nva_publication","status-publish","hentry","nva_tax_category-scientific-journal-publication"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nva_publication\/93876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nva_publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/nva_publication"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nva_publication\/93876\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":93877,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nva_publication\/93876\/revisions\/93877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"nva_tax_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nilu.gnist.dev\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nva_tax_category?post=93876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
