It is easy for the truly curious to look for diagrams of the degradation of
IMI on Google images.  IMI can be degraded into any of several metabolites
at any step.  For an analogy, one can cut a T-bone steak into a New York
strip steak plus a tenderloin.  You've now got two steaks, but no more
total steak.
