Figure Lengend Snippet: Using 1 μM of FTY720-C2, we incubated rat (a) and human (b) hepatocytes to obtain the metabolite profile. To simplify presentation, the 0 min incubation time point, data are intentionally not shown. Legend: C2 , FTY720-C2 C2-carboxylic acid; C4 , FTY720-C2 C4-carboxylic acid; C6 , FTY720-C2 C6-carboxylic acid; C8 , FTY720-C2 C8-carboxylic acid; FTY720-C2-OH , hydroxy FTY720-C2.
