Exposure of phenelzine-1-14C to a biotransformation system which included mitochondria isolated from homogenate of rat liver resulted in a metabolite with thinlayer Chromatographic characteristics identical to those of authentic phenylacetic-1-14C acid.The conversion of phenelzine to phenylacetic acid was found to be: (1) relatively insensitive to preincubation of the bioconversion system with cyanide; (2) dependent upon the presence of O2; (3) abolishing by boiling the mitochondrial component of the system; and (4) inhibited by preincubation of the biotransformation system with isocarboxazid, pheniprazine, tranylcypromine or pargyline.These results provide the first substantial evidence for an irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) acting as a substrate of the enzyme, and the results suggest that degradation of the inhibitor is very likely accomplished by oxidative dehydrazination, a reaction mechanism previously unknown for MAO.
