Abstract
The PPARδ-agonist GW1516 is categorized as a gene doping substance by the World Anti-Doping Agency due to its upregulation of genes associated with oxidative metabolism and a modified substrate preference potentially resulting in an improved athletic performance. To enable the detection of abuse in sport via analysis of urine specimens, the phase-I and -II metabolism of GW1516 was simulated by an in-vitro assay. Two oxygenated metabolites (sulfoxide and sulfone) were identified as main phase-I metabolites as well as one hydroxylation and the respective monoglucuronides of GW1516 and the oxygenated metabolites as phase-II metabolites. As the sulfoxide and the sulfone were both excreted in urine, they were chosen as target analytes and successfully implemented in routine doping control procedures. Verf.-Referat
