    Abstract:
    Benalaxyl (BX), methyl-N-phenylacetyl-N-2,6-xylyl alaninate, is a potent acylanilide fungicide and consist of a pair of enantiomers. The stereoselective metabolism of BX was investigated in rat and rabbit microsomes in vitro. The degradation kinetics and the enantiomer fraction (EF) were determined using normal high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection and a cellulose-tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-based chiral stationary phase (CDMPC-CSP). The t(1/2) of (-)-R-BX and (+)-S-BX in rat liver microsomes were 22.35 and 10.66 min of rac-BX and 5.42 and 4.03 of BX enantiomers. However, the t(1/2) of (-)-R-BX and (+)-S-BX in rabbit liver microsomes were 11.75 and 15.26 min of rac-BX and 5.66 and 9.63 of BX enantiomers. The consequence was consistent with the stereoselective toxicokinetics of BX in vitro. There was no chiral inversion from the (-)-R-BX to (+)-S-BX or inversion from (+)-S-BX to (-)-R-BX in both rabbit and rat microsomes. These results suggested metabolism of BX enantiomers was stereoselective in rat and rabbit liver microsomes.
