Abstract: To investigate the characteristics of mass spectra of 3H-1,2-dihydro-2-(4-methyl-phenylamino)methyl-1-pyrrolizinone(SFZ-47), a novel anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent, and its metabolites, urine samples, which were collected from healthy beagel dogs after a single dose of 200 mg SFZ-47 was taken, were analyzed using electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry in a multi-stage MS full scan mode. The mass spectrometry was operated in the positive mode. The obtained mass spectra were analyzed by assisting with the software Mass Frontier 1.0 for their fragmentation pathways. Besides SFZ-47, four of its metabolites were identified in the urine by LC/MS. The full scan MS2 or MS3 spectra of each compound gave characteristic fragment ions of m/z 122 and depyrrolizinone respectively, whereas the ions of dehydration and neutral loss 176 u of two glucuronides were also found. These characteristics can be used for the future structure elucidation in metabolism of SFZ-47 and its analogues.
