Abstract

Sesquiterpene lactones are naturally occurring, highly active specialised metabolites, which are biosynthesized by important medicinal plants, fulfilling many functions. The in vitro metabolism of parthenolide (1), grosheimin (2), carbetolide C (3), 8a-O(3,4-dihydroxy-methylenebutanoyloxy)- dehydromelitensin (4) and arteludovicinolide A (5) was examined using human liver microsomes. Phase I, phase II (glucuronidation), as well as combined phase I + II metabolism were studied. Metabolites were identified via liquid chromatography-high resolution quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Monohydroxylated, hydrated, carboxylated, methylated derivatives, together with corresponding monoglucuronides were detected, suggesting that the metabolism of sesquiterpene lactones is changeable due to structural features and scaffold diversity, though the lactone ring is the main site of metabolism.
