Ethyl butamide and propyl butamide, the active constituents of the analeptic drug named Prethcamide (Ciba-Geigy), undergo biotransformation to respective single metabolites in the presence of rat hepatic microsomes and the NADPH-generating system. Spectral analysis showed that the metabolites were hydroxylated forms of the drug. The hydroxylation was stimulated by NADH and increased ionic strength, and inhibited by the known cytochrome P-450 inhibitors, e.g. SKF-525A, metyrapone, CO and KCN. The drug formed type I binding spectrum with cytochrome P-450.
