Rapid structural characterization ofin vivoandin vitrometabolites of tinoridine using UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS andin silicotoxicological screening of its metabolites

Tinoridine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and also has potent radical scavenger and antiperoxidative activity. However, metabolism of tinoridine has not been thoroughly investigated. To identify in vivo metabolites, the drug was administered to Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 5) at a dose of 20 mg kg(-1), and blood, urine and feces were collected at different time points up to 24 h. In vitro metabolism was delved by incubating the drug with...
