2-(Fluoromethoxy)-1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-1-propene (compound A) is formed in the anesthesia circuit by the degradation of sevoflurane. Compound A is nephrotoxic in rats and undergoes metabolism by the mercapturic acid pathway in rats and humans to yield the mercapturates S-[2-(fluoromethoxy)-1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl]-N-acetyl-L -cysteine (compound 3) and S-[2(fluoromethoxy)-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propenyl]-N-acetyl-L-cys teine (compound 5). These experiments were designed to examine the fate and nephrotoxicity of compound A-derived mercapturates in rats.
