A method for the quantitation of three metabolites of theophylline, 1-methylxanthine (1MX), 3-methylxanthine (3MX), and 1,3 -dimethyluric acid (13DMU) in human liver microsomes has been developed. The method is based on a simple one-step extraction followed by isocratic, reversed-phase high-performa

โฆ Synopsis
The low turnover of caffeine in vitro by human liver microsomes makes the study of the metabolic pathways of this compound difficult. Analytical methods with high sensitivity and specificity are needed for the detection of its metabolic products. A method based on the on-line radiometric determination of [8C-3H]caffeine and its principal metabolite (paraxanthine) in man has been developed using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The method has been successfully employed in preliminary studies of the kinetics of this reaction.

Bilirubin diglucuronide, the major pigment in human bile is formed in two steps. Bilirubin is converted to bilirubin monoglucuronide by transfer of the glucuronosyl moiety of uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid catalyzed by the microsomal enzyme, uridine diphosphoglucuronate glucuronosyl transferase (U
