carbamazepine 10,11 epoxide

Carbamazepine 10,11-epoxide is an active metabolite of the anticonvulsant carbamazepine. It is formed by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 in microsomes from HepG2 cells expressing CYP3A4 or CYP2C8, respectively. Carbamazepine 10,11-epoxide exhibits anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock-induced seizures in mice and has been detected in wastewater effluent [1][2][3].

Carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide-d10 (rings-d10) is a deuterated compound of Carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide. Carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide has a CAS number of 36507-30-9. Carbamazepine 10,11-epoxide is an active metabolite of the anticonvulsant carbamazepine[1][2].It is formed from carbamazepine by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 in microsomes prepared from HepG2 cells expressing CYP3A4 or CYP2C8, respectively[1].Carbamazepine 10,11-epoxide has anticonvulsant activity against maximal electroshock-induced seizures in mice.2It has been found in wastewater effluent[3].

10,11-Dihydro-10,11-dihydroxy Carbamazepine, a metabolite of the anticonvulsant carbamazepine and the antiepileptic prodrug oxcarbazepine, is produced through the biotransformation of carbamazepine via a carbamazepine 10,11-epoxide intermediate by epoxide hydrolase, and from oxcarbazepine via a 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxy carbamazepine intermediate. This compound has been detected in wastewater effluent, highlighting its environmental presence following pharmaceutical use.
