Abstract
The FK-506 C15-demethylated metabolite, isolated from human liver microsomes and identified by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, is under the influence of ring- and open-chain tautomerism effects as demonstrated by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. Ring- and open-chain tautomerism effects are strongly influencing the in vitro immunosuppressive potency expressed by the measure of the inhibition of the mixed lymphocyte reaction, as demonstrated by the clear differences observed in immunosuppressive activity between the FK-506 C15-demethylated ring- and open-chain tautomeric conformations and depending on the tautomer-receptor specific interactions modulating the immunosuppressive activity of the FK-506 C15-demethylated metabolite.
