摘要
The metabolism and disposition of 3-methylindole (3MI), a ruminal metabolite of L-tryptophan which causes acute pulmonary edema and emphysema (APE) when administered to cattle, goats, and sheep was investigated. Goats given jugular infusions of [14C] 3MI excreted 87 to 92% of the infused radioactivity in the urine, 0.4 to 0.9% in expired air, and negligible amounts in the feces over a period of three days. Composite urine samples were fractionated into 10 peaks by ion exchange chromatography, which represented 80% of the urinary radioactivity. A major route of metabolism involved formation of 3-methyloxindole and suggests that a mixed function oxidase (MFO), pyrrolooxygenase, may be the major metabolic system involved. A minor route of metabolism involved oxidation of the methyl carbon of 3MI. © 1979.
