Abstract: The major metabolites of etofesalamide [N-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyl-benzamide],a novel drug for acne therapy, in rabbits were described. Urine samples from 0 to 10 h were collected after single oral administration of 400 mg etofesalamide to four rabbits. The samples with or without hydrolysis by β-D-glucuronidase/sulphatase were purified by SPEcolumn (Sep-Pah C18) and then were analyzed with LC/MSn for potential metabolites. Etofesalamide and its five metabolites were identified in rabbit urine based on the reference substances and mass spectra. These included oxaphenamide [N-(p-hydrox- yphenylsalicyl)] and the conjugates of glucuronide and sulfate for etofesalamide and oxaphenamide, respectively.

Key words: N-(4-Ethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyl-benzamide, Liquid chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry, Metabolite
