Desoxymansil
Desoxymansil is an anti-schistosomal agent. In mice, rabbits, dogs and monkeys, Desoxymansil undergoes oxidative metabolism via its isopropylaminomethyl side chain to produce a carboxylic acid metabolite, while this metabolic pathway is absent in rats. In rats, Desoxymansil undergoes α-carbon oxidation of the side chain to form an unstable aminomethanol that decomposes; the intermediate product is reduced to an alcohol metabolite, which is excreted in bile in the form of glucuronide. Desoxymansil can be used for the study of schistosomiasis.

Biological Activity
Desoxymansil (2.0 μmol; 30 min) is extensively hydroxylated to oxamniquine by liver microsomes from rat, mouse, and rabbit, with no detectable N-dealkylation of the isopropyl group[1].
Desoxymansil is converted to carboxylic acid metabolite V by whole liver homogenates from rabbit and mouse, while rat whole liver homogenates do not produce this metabolite[1].
