N-Hydroxyamidines (amidoximes) can act as pro-drugs of amidines (e.g. ximelagatran, a novel direct thrombin inhibitor). This known pro-drug principle is based on the N-reduction of an oral bioavailable amidoxime to its active form. Previous study of the metabolism of the

Drugs containing strong basic nitrogen functional groups can be N-oxygenated to genotoxic products. While the reduction of such products is of considerable toxicological significance, most in vitro studies have focused on oxygen-sensitive reductase systems. However, an oxygen-insensitive microsomal hydroxylamine reductase
1,2,4-Oxadiazoles have been prepared in parallel using 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) as a reagent for both formation and cyclodehydration of O-acyl benzamidoximes. The use of CDI facilitates parallel purification of the oxadiazole products by simple liquid-liquid extraction and filtration.
Oxidation by rat liver microsomes of 13 compounds involving a C=N(OH) function (including N-hydroxyguanidines, amidoximes, ketoximes, and aldoximes) was found to occur with the release of nitrogen oxides such as NO, NO2-, and NO3-. The greatest activities were observed with

At pH 7.4 neither benzamidine (1) is ring-hydroxylated nor benzamidoxime (2) is N-hydroxylated, reduced or ring-hydroxylated by aerobic incubations with microsomal fractions (12000 g supernatant, microsomes) of rabbit liver homogenates and NADPH. Products of hydrolytic processes are also not detected.
