Rapamycin was incubated with human liver microsomes and an NADPH regenerating system, the metabolites were purified by semipreparative HPLC, and their structures were elucidated by direct chemical ionization and FAB-MS. At least six fractions were isolated containing rapamycin metabolites, indicating that rapamycin is metabolized by the human liver cytochrome P-450 system. One of these metabolites was identified as 41-O-demethyl-rapamycin. A second metabolite was hydroxylated in a yet unknown position. These two metabolites retained immunosuppressive activity in a phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human lymphocyte assay with IC50S of 1 and 1.5 nmol/liter, respectively. Rapamycin was metabolized by rat small intestinal microsomes to at least two metabolites, indicating extra-hepatic metabolism of rapamycin.
