The oxidative metabolism of ibuprofen in healthy male urine collected at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 h after oral administration of ibuprofen was studied by GC/MS assay. To detect conjugated metabolites of ibuprofen, urine sample was acid-hydrolyzed with 6 M HCl at 100 ℃ for 30 min. To effectively extract ibuprofen and its metabolites, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was conducted at pH 3, 5, and 7, respectively. As a result, LLE at pH 3 was shown to be the best extraction condition. For the determination of trace amounts of ibuprofen and its metabolites in extract, trimethylsilylation (TMS) with BSTFA was applied and followed by GC/MS analysis. In this study, main 5 metabolites including parent drug were detected and these metabolites were assigned as three hydroxylated forms and one carboxylated form. Each metabolite was tentatively identified by both interpretation of mass spectrum and comparison with previously reported results. In addition, time profile of urinary excretion rate for parent drugs and metabolites was studied. Finally, the metabolic pathways of ibuprofen were suggested on the basis of the structural elucidation of its metabolites and excretion profiles.
