The metabolic fate of the nigrostriatal toxin l-methyl-4-phenyl-l, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) has been examined in ratand rabbit liver mitochondrial and rabbit liver microsomal preparations. The mitochondrial preparations rapidly oxidized MPTP, in a pargyline-sensitive reaction, to a polar material that was shown to contain the l-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium species as the principal product. NADPH-supplemented microsomal preparations converted MPTP to two principal products: 4-phenyl-l, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine and l-methyl-4-phenyl-l, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine IV-oxide. Carbon monoxide and SKF 525A selectively inhibited the oxidation of MPTP to the nor compound, indicating that this N-demethylationreaction is cytochrome P-450 catalyzed. Attempts to trap possible unstable iminium metabolites of MPTP in microsomal incubation mixtures with sodium cyanide led to the isolation of a monocyano adduct that proved to be the N-cyanomethyl derivative. Thus, hepatic mitochondrial and microsomal enzyme systems catalyze the oxidation of MPTP by different pathways, the former leading to the generation of species that may possess neurotoxic properties.The piperideine derivative l-methyl-4-phenyl-l, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP, 1), a thermal breakdown product of theabused narcotic analgetic agent 1-methyl-4-phenyl-4-(propionyloxy)-l, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (2), has been reported to cause a clinical syndrome indistin-guishable from idiopathic Parkinson’s disease in man1" 3 and to destroy selectively the nigrostriatal system in monkeys. 4, 5 We recently presented evidence suggesting
