Metabolite Identification
Common NameForphenicine
DescriptionForphenicine is a microbial metabolite belonging to the class of alkaline phosphatase inhibitors, first discovered by Umezawa. It has been shown that a derivative containing forphenicine exhibited the broadest dose-response range when administered intraperitoneally (PMID:2753818 ). Analytical methods have been developed for the high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of forphenicine in biological samples, specifically in mouse serum and muscle, utilizing pre-column fluorescence derivatization with 1,2-diamino-4,5-ethylenedioxybenzene as a fluorogenic reagent (PMID:3235509 ). This method allows quantification of forphenicine in small sample volumes, highlighting its distribution after oral administration (PMID:3235509 ). Additionally, forphenicine has been associated with enhanced immune responses, as evidenced by its binding to cells alongside other compounds like bestatin and arphamenine (PMID:3842696 ). Forphenicinol, a low molecular immunomodifier derived from forphenicine, has also been identified, although literature on this metabolite remains limited (PMID:3978657 ). Overall, forphenicine's role in immunomodulation and its pharmacokinetics in biological systems underscore its potential significance in biomedical research.
