Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study describes the in vivo pharmacokinetics and metabolism of [14C]labeled XQ-1H in male rats. METHODS XQ-1H is a methanesulfonate of XQ, 10-O-(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)-ginkgolide B, a derivative of ginkgolide B (GB) with enhanced water solubility. Since it is very difficult to synthesize radiolabeled GB, the results obtained in this study may provide helpful insight to further ADME investigation of GB and its analogue compounds. After an i.v. administration of [14C]XQ-1H to male rats, XQ (the freebase form of XQ-1H) was extensively hydrolyzed, moderately metabolized, and mainly excreted in feces (71.5% of the dose) via the biliary route. RESULTS The main enzyme mediated metabolic pathways were mono- and di-demthylation. Using the radiolabel form of XQ-1H, the temporal binding of XQ to red blood cells was observed. CONCLUSION Binding of XQ to RBCs may lower the blood's viscosity and thus provide symptomatic improvement of ischemic stroke patients.
期刊介绍:
Drug Metabolism Letters publishes letters and research articles on major advances in all areas of drug metabolism and disposition. The emphasis is on publishing quality papers very rapidly by taking full advantage of the Internet technology both for the submission and review of manuscripts. The journal covers the following areas: In vitro systems including CYP-450; enzyme induction and inhibition; drug-drug interactions and enzyme kinetics; pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, species scaling and extrapolations; P-glycoprotein and transport carriers; target organ toxicity and interindividual variability; drug metabolism and disposition studies; extrahepatic metabolism; phase I and phase II metabolism; recent developments for the identification of drug metabolites.
