We propose that 3-carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionaldehyde is an intermediate in the metabolism of felbamate, an anti-epileptic drug with a unique profile of therapeutic activity, and undergoes a cascade of chemical reactions responsible for the toxic properties of the parent drug. To test this hypothesis, we have synthesized 3-carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionaldehyde and evaluated itsin vitroreactivity. This molecule was found to be highly unstable at physiological pH (t1/2≤ 30 s) and to undergo facile elimination to 2-phenylpropenal, an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde commonly termed atropaldehyde. However, the predominant reaction pathway for 3-carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionaldehyde was reversible cyclization to generate 4-hydroxy-5-phenyltetrahydro-1,3-oxazin-2-one, a urethane that has a considerably longer half-life at physiological pH (t1/2≥ 5 h) and may serve as a stable reservoir of the reactive aldehyde bothin vitroandin vivo.Atropaldehyde is a potent electrophile and was found to exhibit cytotoxicity to cultured fibroblasts (50% growth inhibition (GI50) = 4.1 ± 1.1 μM) comparable to the known unsaturated aldehyde toxins, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal and acrolein. 3-Carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionaldehyde also exhibited significant cytotoxicity (GI50= 53 ± 8 μM), whereas 2-phenyl-1,3-propanediol monocarbamate (GI50> 500 μM) and 3-carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionic acid (GI50> 500 μM) were nontoxic. We have additionally demonstrated the formation of a glutathione−atropaldehyde conjugate from thein vitroincubation of 3-carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionaldehyde with glutathione. Thus, the potent cytotoxicity and potential allergenicity of atropaldehyde implicate this unsaturated aldehyde as a possible causative agent in the toxicities observed with felbamate treatment.
