Table 2 Features of daughter ion spectra obtained by tandem mass spectrometry of molecular ions (M+H)+ of DMU 212 and four metabolites isolated from peaks in high-performance liquid chromatograms of extracts of livers of micethat had received DMU 212 (240 mg kg−1) and of peaks of authentic reference compounds
