Species differences in the metabolism and excretion of sulphasomidine and sulphamethomidine.

ABSTRACT: 1. The excretion of 2,4-dimethyl-6-sulphanilamidopyrimidine (sulphasomidine; Elkosin) and 4-methoxy-2-methyl-6-sulphanilamidopyrimidine (sulphamethomidine) given orally was examined in man, rhesus monkey, rabbit and rat. 2. About 70% of sulphasomidine (0.1g./kg.) is excreted mainly unchanged in the urine by these species in 24hr.; less than 15% of the dose is acetylated and there is no marked species difference in the fate of this drug. 3. Sulphamethomidine is excreted more slowly than sulphasomidine, and in the rat, rabbit and monkey the main metabolite is the N(4)-acetyl derivative. In man, only 20-30% of the dose is excreted in 24hr. and nearly 70% of this is sulphamethomidine N(1)-glucuronide, which is also excreted by the monkey but not by the rat or rabbit. There is therefore a marked species difference in the metabolism of sulphamethomidine. 4. Sulphamethomidine N(1)-glucuronide was synthesized and shown to be identical with the glucuronide isolated from monkey urine. 5. Sulphasomidine, sulphamethomidine and sulphadimethoxine (2,4-dimethoxy-6-sulphanilamidopyrimidine) were acetylated by rabbit or monkey liver homogenates. Although sulphasomidine is poorly acetylated in vivo, it is acetylated in vitro at rates comparable with those of the other two drugs. 6. The solubilities, partition coefficients and plasma-protein-binding of the drugs were measured. 7. The results are discussed.

Species differences in the metabolism of sulphadimethoxine.

Project description:1. The fate of sulphadimethoxine (2,4-dimethoxy-6-sulphanilamidopyrimidine) was studied in man, rhesus monkey, dog, rat, guinea pig and rabbit. 2. About 20-46% of the dose (0.1g./kg.) of the drug is excreted in the urine in 24hr. in these species, except the rat, in which only 13% is excreted. 3. In man and the monkey sulphadimethoxine N(1)-glucuronide is the major metabolite in the urine. In the rabbit and guinea pig N(4)-acetylsulphadimethoxine is the main metabolite. In the dog the drug is excreted mainly unchanged. In the rat equal amounts of the unchanged drug and its N(4)-acetyl derivative are the main products. 4. Small amounts of sulphadimethoxine N(4)-glucuronide are found in the urine of all the species. Sulphadimethoxine N(1)-glucuronide occurs in small amounts in the urine of rat, dog and guinea pig; none is found in rabbit urine. 5. Sulphadimethoxine N(4)-sulphate was synthesized and found to occur in small amounts in rat urine. 6. Monkey liver homogenates fortified with UDP-glucuronic acid are able to synthesize sulphadimethoxine N(1)-glucuronide with the drug as substrate. Rat liver has also this ability to a slight extent, but rabbit liver is unable to do so. 7. Sulphadimethoxine N(4)-glucuronide is formed spontaneously when the drug is added to human urine. 8. The biliary excretion of the drug and its metabolites was examined in rats. The drug is excreted in rat bile mainly as the N(1)-glucuronide. The N(1)- and N(4)-glucuronides administered as such are extensively excreted in the bile by rats.

Biliary excretion in foreign compounds. Species difference in biliary excretion.

Project description:1. The biliary excretion of injected [(14)C]aniline, [(14)C]benzoic acid, 4-amino-hippuric acid and 4-acetamidohippuric acid in six or eight species of animal (rat, dog, hen, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, rhesus monkey and sheep) was studied. 2. These compounds, with molecular weights in the range 93-236, are poorly excreted in the bile in all the species examined and, in effect, there is little significant species difference in the extent of their biliary excretion. 3. Compounds of higher molecular weight (355-495) were also studied, namely succinylsulphathiazole, [(14)C]stilboestrol glucuronide, sulphadimethoxine N(1)-glucuronide and phenolphthalein glucuronide. 4. With these compounds a clear species difference in the extent of biliary excretion was found, the rat, dog and hen being good excretors, the rabbit, guinea pig and monkey poor excretors, and the cat and sheep taking an intermediary position. 5. There was a general trend for biliary excretion to be higher in all species when the compounds were of higher molecular weight. 6. These results are discussed in their relation to species differences in drug metabolism.

Metabolomic Analyses of Leishmania Reveal Multiple Species Differences and Large Differences in Amino Acid Metabolism.

Project description:Comparative genomic analyses of Leishmania species have revealed relatively minor heterogeneity amongst recognised housekeeping genes and yet the species cause distinct infections and pathogenesis in their mammalian hosts. To gain greater information on the biochemical variation between species, and insights into possible metabolic mechanisms underpinning visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, we have undertaken in this study a comparative analysis of the metabolomes of promastigotes of L. donovani, L. major and L. mexicana. The analysis revealed 64 metabolites with confirmed identity differing 3-fold or more between the cell extracts of species, with 161 putatively identified metabolites differing similarly. Analysis of the media from cultures revealed an at least 3-fold difference in use or excretion of 43 metabolites of confirmed identity and 87 putatively identified metabolites that differed to a similar extent. Strikingly large differences were detected in their extent of amino acid use and metabolism, especially for tryptophan, aspartate, arginine and proline. Major pathways of tryptophan and arginine catabolism were shown to be to indole-3-lactate and arginic acid, respectively, which were excreted. The data presented provide clear evidence on the value of global metabolomic analyses in detecting species-specific metabolic features, thus application of this technology should be a major contributor to gaining greater understanding of how pathogens are adapted to infecting their hosts.

An Investigation of the Metabolism and Excretion of KD101 and Its Interindividual Differences: A Microtracing Mass Balance Study in Humans.

Project description:The absorption, metabolism, and excretion (AME) profiles of KD101, currently under clinical development to treat obesity, were assessed in humans using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) after a single oral administration of KD101 at 400 mg and a microdose of 14 C-KD101 at ~ 35.2 μg with a total radioactivity of 6.81 kBq. The mean total recovery of administered radioactivity was 85.2% with predominant excretion in the urine (78.0%). The radio-chromatographic metabolite profiling showed that most of the total radioactivity in the plasma and the urine was ascribable to metabolites. The UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), including UGT1A1, UGT1A3, and UGT2B7, might have contributed to the interindividual variability in the metabolism and excretion of KD101. The microtracing approach using AMS is a useful tool to evaluate the AME of a drug under development without risk for high radiation exposure to humans.

Urinary excretion and metabolism of procyanidins in pigs.

Project description:ScopeAim of this study was to investigate urinary excretion and metabolism of procyanidins a group of secondary plant metabolites with many beneficial health effects described in literature.Methods and resultsTo investigate the metabolism of procyanidins in the absence of flavan-3-ols, centrifugal partition chromatography was used for their reduction in a grape seed extract to a level of almost zero. After administration of the monomer reduced grape seed extract (mredGSE) containing procyanidins B1, B2, B3, B4, C1 to pigs flavan-3-ols, their methyl derivatives, dimeric and trimeric procyanidins were determined in urine by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Maximal concentrations of procyanidins 6 h after administration vary from 5 to 30 ng/mg creatinine. Total excretion of flavan-3-ols and their methyl derivatives indicates an increasing trend for pigs given mredGSE in comparison to pigs of the control group. Flavan-3-ols were conjugated and methylated to a great extent in comparison to dimeric and trimeric procyanidins. In the case of low molecular weight metabolites, an increasing trend was observed for hippuric acid, not for phenolic acids.ConclusionsRatios of total excretion of procyanidins to administrated amounts between 0.004% (C1) and 0.019% (B4) suggest a poor urinary excretion by pigs. A transfer of these results to humans is possible due to their similar gastrointestinal tract.

Species differences in the metabolism of norephedrine in man, rabbit and rat.

Project description:1. (+/-)-2-Amino-1-phenyl[1-(14)C]propan-1-ol ([(14)C]norephedrine) was administered orally to man, rat and rabbit and the metabolites excreted in the urine were identified and measured. Pronounced species differences in the metabolism of the drug were found. 2. Three male human subjects, receiving 25mg each of [(14)C]norephedrine hydrochloride, excreted over 90% of the (14)C in the first day. The main metabolite was the unchanged drug (86% of the dose) and minor metabolites were hippuric acid and 4-hydroxynorephedrine. 3. In rats given 12mg of the drug/kg almost 80% of the (14)C administered was excreted in the first day. The major metabolites in the urine were the unchanged drug (48% of the dose), 4-hydroxynorephedrine (28%) and trace amounts of side-chain degradation products. 4. Rabbits given 12mg of the drug/kg excreted 85-95% of the dose of (14)C in the urine in the first 24h after dosing. The major metabolites in the urine were conjugates of 1,2-dihydroxy-1-phenylpropane (31% of the dose) and of 1-hydroxy-1-phenylpropan-2-one (27%) and hippuric acid (20%). The unchanged drug was excreted in relatively small amounts (8%).

Metabolism, Excretion, and Mass Balance of Solithromycin in Humans.

Project description:Solithromycin, a novel macrolide and the first fluoroketolide, is being developed as a therapy for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia, with a distinct mechanism that provides activity against macrolide-resistant bacteria. The pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and excretion of solithromycin were studied in healthy male subjects after oral administration of a single 800-mg (?100-?Ci) dose of [14C]solithromycin. Solithromycin was well tolerated, and absorption from the solution occurred with a median time to peak concentration of 4.0 h. Solithromycin and the total radioactivity had similar profiles with no long-lived metabolites. The whole-blood total radioactivity was approximately 75% of the plasma total radioactivity. Recovery was essentially complete (mean, 90.6%), with 76.5% and 14.1% of the dose recovered in feces and urine, respectively. Unchanged solithromycin (CEM-101) was the predominant circulating radioactive component in plasma (77% of the total radioactivity area under the concentration-time curve [AUC]), with two minor plasma metabolites, CEM-214 and CEM-122 (N-acetyl-CEM-101), each accounting for approximately 5% of the total radioactivity. Urinary excretion was predominantly like that of the parent. Solithromycin was primarily eliminated in the feces after extensive metabolism via a complex metabolic pathway with CEM-262 as the major constituent (27.36% of the administered dose). Overall oxidative pathways, presumably carried out mostly by CYP3A4, represented the majority of the metabolism, with N-acetylation present to a lesser extent. No disproportionate human metabolites were observed.

Feline drug metabolism and disposition: pharmacokinetic evidence for species differences and molecular mechanisms.

Project description:Although it is widely appreciated that cats respond differently to certain drugs compared with other companion animal species, the causes of these differences are poorly understood. This article evaluates published evidence for altered drug effects in cats, focusing on pharmacokinetic differences between cats, dogs, and humans, and the molecular mechanisms underlying these differences. More work is needed to better understand drug metabolism and disposition differences in cats, thereby enabling more rational prescribing of existing medications, and the development of safer drugs for this species.

Absorption, metabolism and excretion of opicapone in human healthy volunteers.

Project description:AimsThe absorption, metabolism and excretion of opicapone (2,5-dichloro-3-(5-[3,4-dihydroxy-5-nitrophenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-4,6-dimethylpyridine 1-oxide), a selective catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor, were investigated.MethodsPlasma, urine and faeces were collected from healthy male subjects following a single oral dose of 100 mg [14 C]-opicapone. The mass balance of [14 C]-opicapone and metabolic profile were evaluated.ResultsThe recovery of total administered radioactivity averaged >90% after 144 hours. Faeces were the major route of elimination, representing 70% of the administered dose; 5% and 20% were excreted in urine and expired air, respectively. The Cmax of total radioactivity matched that of unchanged opicapone, whereas the total radioactivity remained quantifiable for a longer period, attributed to the contribution of opicapone metabolites, involving primarily 3-O-sulfate conjugation (58.6% of total circulating radioactivity) at the nitrocatechol ring. Other circulating metabolites, accounting for <10% of the radioactivity exposure, were formed by glucuronidation, methylation, N-oxide reduction and gluthatione conjugation. Additionally, various other metabolites resulting from combinations with the opicapone N-oxide reduced form at the 2,5-dichloro-4,6-dimethylpyridine 1-oxide moiety, including nitro reduction and N-acetylation, reductive opening and cleavage of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring and the subsequent hydrolysis products were identified, but only in faeces, suggesting the involvement of gut bacteria.Conclusion[14 C]-opicapone was fully excreted through multiple metabolic pathways. The main route of excretion was in faeces, where opicapone may be further metabolized via reductive metabolism involving the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring-opening and subsequent hydrolysis.
