The in vivo metabolism of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-propylthiophenethylamine (2C-T-7), a ring-substituted psychoactive phenethylamine, was studied in rat. Male Wistar rats were administered 10mg/kg 2C-T-7 hydrochloride orally, and 24-h urine fractions were collected. After enzymatic hydrolysis of the urine sample, the metabolites were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. 2C-T-7-sulfoxide, N-acetyl-2C-T-7-sulfoxide, N-acetyl-2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylthiophenethylamine-sulfoxide, N-acetyl-2,5-dimethoxy-4-(2-hydroxypropylthio) phenethylamine-sulfoxide, and N-acetyl-2,5-dimethoxy-4-(2-hydroxypropylthio) phenethylamine-sulfone were detected as the primary metabolites of 2C-T-7. These findings suggest that sulfoxidation, sulfone formation, hydroxylation of the propyl side chain at the fi-position, and S-depropylation followed by methylation of thiol were the major metabolic pathways of 2C-T-7 in rat.
