GW 501516 Sulfone Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

GW 501516 Sulfone is a urinary metabolite of GW1516 (G931500), a drug candidate potentially enhancing athletic performance. GW 501516 Sulfoxide may be used or doping control purposes.

Definition

ChEBI: GW 501516 sulfone is a sulfone resulting from the oxidation of the sulfur attached to one of the phenyl groups of GW 501516. It is a urinary metabolite of GW 501516 (a failed drug candidate and gene doping agent whose use by athletes has been prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency), so detection of the sulfone in sports drugs testing can be used to prove GW 501516 doping. It is a sulfone, a member of 1,3-thiazoles, an aromatic ether, a monocarboxylic acid and an organofluorine compound. It is functionally related to a GW 501516 sulfoxide and a GW 501516.
