Felbamate (2-phenyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate, FBM) can cause aplastic anemia and hepatotoxicity. The mechanism of FBM-induced toxicities is unknown; however, it has been proposed that 2-phenylpropenal, a reactive metabolite of FBM, is responsible. The pathway leading to this metabolite involves hydrolysis of

We propose that 3-carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionaldehyde is an intermediate in the metabolism of felbamate, an anti-epileptic drug with a unique profile of the therapeutic activity, and undergoes a cascade of chemical reactions responsible for the toxic properties of the parent drug. To

Felbamate is an anti-epileptic drug associated with hepatotoxicity and aplastic anemia. These toxicities are believed to be mediated by the formation of the reactive species 2-phenylpropenal. 4-Hydroxy-5-phenyl-[1,3]oxazinan-2-one is a metabolic precursor for 2-phenylpropenal. 4-Hydroxy-5-phenyl-[1,3]oxazinan-2-one exists in equilibrium with 3-oxo-2-phenylpropyl carbamate
Robert J Parker et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 18(12), 1842-1848 (2005-12-20)
Evidence has been presented suggesting that a reactive metabolite, 2-phenylpropenal (ATPAL), may be responsible for the toxicities observed during therapy with the antiepileptic drug felbamate (FBM). Formation of ATPAL from its unstable immediate precursor, 3-carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionaldedhyde (CBMA) requires the loss of
