[Isolation and structure of the main metabolite of macrolide antibiotic turimycin H (author's transl)].
Turimycin H0 was isolated from the bile of rats as main metabolite after i.v. administration of turimycin H. It was also obtained by incubation of turimycin H with liver homogenates of dogs and rats. Degradation of turimycin H by liver homogenate of pigs was found to be relatively slow. Turimycin H0 was identified as 4"-deacylturimycin H by MS.
