Metabolism of phencyclidine. The role of the carbinolamine intermediate in the formation of lactam and amino acid metabolites of nitrogen heterocycles

The transformation of phencyclidine in a mouse liver microsome preparation to several oxidative metabolites was studied. With use of GLC and HPLC methods with internal standards, phencyclidine and six metabolites were quantitated and the amino acid, resulting from the α-oxidation of the piperidine ring, was produced in 10-50 times greater amounts than the other metabolites. While most piperidines and pyrrolidines produce an amino acid and a corresponding lactam, it was found that phencyclidine was not converted to the lactam.
