Analysis of [14C]-saterinone and its metabolites in dog plasma, urine and bile by high-performance liquid chromatography with radioactivity and fluorescence detection and by mass spectrometry.

An HPLC method was developed for the direct on-line radioactivity determination of [14C]-saterinone and its metabolites in biological canine fluids after intravenous and intraduodenal administration. After direct injection of 200 microliters of sample, the metabolites were separated on a semi-preparative reverse-phase column. The metabolites were identified by HPLC reference standards, enzymatic hydrolysis and mass spectrometry. Besides a small amount of unchanged saterinone, six metabolites could be detected, both in bile and urine. The main fraction (about 80-90% of the sum of detected metabolites) contained the phase II metabolites of saterinone, the sulphate and glucuronide. Ring hydroxylated saterinone and three metabolites that were not identified made up about 1-4% each. In plasma, only the major compounds could be detected because of the lower absolute concentrations. The metabolic pathway of saterinone in dogs was elucidated and compared with other species. Results from previous studies concerning a first-pass metabolism could be confirmed.     

Biotransformation of nifedipine in rat and dog.

Following oral and/or intraduodenal administration, the biotransformation of 14C-labelled nifedipine (dimethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-pyridine-3, 5-dicarboxylate, Bay a 1040, Adalat, CAS 21829-25-4) has been reinvestigated in rats and dogs (dose: 5 mg/kg body weight in both species) to complete the metabolic data. Thirteen metabolites were isolated from the perfusate and bile of the isolated perfused rat liver model. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (FAB-MS, combined GC/MS, NMR). The analyzed samples were used for the chromatographic (HPLC) comparison with urine and bile from the in vivo studies. The metabolites identified in rat urine (oral dose) account for 47.4% of the dose administered. 82.8% (rat) and 62.8% (dog) of the dose, resp., could be attributed to known structures in urine and bile following intraduodenal administration. Based on the structures identified the following biotransformation steps occurred: dehydrogenation of the 1,4-dihydropyridine system, hydroxylation of the methyl groups at 2- or 6-position followed by glucuronidation or by subsequent oxidation to the carboxylic acid, and oxidative ester cleavage.     

Metabolism and excretion of imrecoxib in rat

The metabolism and excretion of imrecoxib, a novel and moderately selective cyclooxygenase-II inhibitor, were investigated in rat. The structures of metabolites were identified by mass spectrometry (MSn) and nuclear magnetic resonance. Metabolic profiles of imrecoxib in urine, bile and faeces were obtained by HPLC and LC/MSn, and cumulative excretion was determined by LC/MSn. Imrecoxib was extensively metabolized in rat after intravenous administration, with less than 2% of the dose excreted as parent drug in either urine or faeces. The major metabolic pathway was that the 4'-methyl group of imrecoxib was first oxidized to the 4'-hydroxymethyl metabolite (M4), followed by additional oxidation to 4'-carboxylic acid metabolite (M2). The dihydroxylated metabolite, 4'-hydroxymethyl-5-hydroxyl imrecoxib (M3), was further oxidized to 4'-hydroxymethyl-5-carbonyl metabolite (M5), and glucuronide conjugates of M2-4 were formed. After intravenous (5 mg kg-1) administration, the majority of the dose was recovered in the faeces. The dose was primarily excreted as the carboxylic acid metabolite in addition to the 4'-hydroxymethyl metabolite. The carboxylic acid metabolite was mainly excreted in faeces, while the 4'-hydroxymethyl metabolite was mainly excreted in urine.     

Characterization of metabolites of xylazine produced in vivo and in vitro by LC/MS/MS and by GC/MS.

The metabolic fate of xylazine, 2-(2,6-dimethylphenylamino)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazine, in horses is described. The major metabolites identified in the hydrolyzed horse urine were 2-(4'-hydroxy-2',6'-dimethylphenylamino)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazi ne, 2-(3'-hydroxy-2',6'-dimethylphenylamino)-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazi ne, N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)thiourea, and 2-(2',6'-dimethylphenylamino)-4-oxo-5,6-dihydro-1,3-thiazine. These metabolites were also produced by incubating xylazine with rat liver microsomes. The major metabolite produced in vitro by rat liver preparations was found to be the ring opened N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)thiourea. The identities of these metabolites were confirmed by spectroscopic comparisons with synthetic standards. Phenolic metabolic standards were synthesized efficiently by the use of Fenton's reagent. This reagent was used to monohydroxylate multiply substituted aromatic ring systems. LC/MS/MS, with an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source, was found to be particularly useful in confirming the presence of phenolic metabolites in hydrolyzed equine urine and microsomal extracts. These phenolic metabolites could not be analyzed by GC/MS even after derivatization with silylating agents. The advantage of LC/MS/MS was that no or little sample preparation of urine or microsomal extract was necessary prior to the analysis. A mechanism is also proposed for the formation of the major metabolite, N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)thiourea, from xylazine.     

Metabolism of [14C]-5-chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-amine in male Wistar-derived rats following intraperitoneal administration

[14C]-5-chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-amine was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) to bile duct-cannulated rats (Alpk:ApfSD, Wistar derived) at 25 mg kg-1 to determine the rates and routes of excretion of the compound and to investigate its metabolic fate. A total of 89.1% of the dose was excreted in the 48 h following administration, the majority being recovered in the urine during the first 12 h. The main metabolite in both urine and bile, detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with radioprofiling and mass spectrometry, was identified as a demethylenated monosulfate conjugate. Unchanged parent compound formed a major component of the radiolabel excreted in urine and, in addition to unchanged parent and demethylenated sulphate conjugate, a large number of minor metabolites were detected in urine and bile. The overall metabolic fate of 5-chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-amine in the rat was complex, with some similarities to previously studied methylenedioxyphenyl compounds.     

High performance liquid chromatographic analysis of a novel aminoalkylpyridine anticonvulsant 2-(4-chlorophenyl)amino-2-(4-pyridyl)ethane

A simple, rapid and specific high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the quantitation of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)amino-2-(4-pyridyl)ethane (AAP-Cl) and identification of its putative metabolite, 2-(4-chlorophenyl)amino-2-(4-pyridyl)ethanol (beta-AA) in rat blood and urine has been developed. AAP-Cl, beta-AA and an appropriate internal standard were extracted from rat biofluids by a solid phase extraction technique using C18 cartridges prior to the HPLC analysis. The extractibility was 92% for AAP-Cl and 98% for beta-AA. The HPLC analysis employed a symmetrical or standard reversed-phase HPLC column (Apex ODS, 5 microm, 25 cm x 0.46 cm) for blood or urine analysis, a mobile phase of water methanol acetonitrile (40:30:30) containing 20 microl 100 ml(-1) diethylamine at a flow rate of 1 ml min(-1), and UV detection at 254 nm. The limit of detection was 100 ng ml(-1) for both analytes in both blood and urine. The calibration curves for AAP-Cl in rat biofluids were shown to be linear in both low and high concentration ranges (blood: 0-1 and 1-10 microg ml(-1); urine: 0-10 and 10-100 microg ml(-1)) with intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation of no more than 18% for blood and 14% for urine. The method developed was successfully applied to a preliminary analysis of intact AAP-Cl in both blood and urine obtained from rats dosed with AAP-Cl.     

Characterization of metabolic profile of mosapride citrate in rat and identification of two new metabolites: Mosapride N-oxide and morpholine ring-opened mosapride by UPLC–ESI-MS/MS

The identification and structure elucidation of metabolites of mosapride, a selective gastroprokinetic agent, was investigated in rats. After oral administration, samples of rat urine, bile, feces and plasma were collected and analyzed by a selective UPLC–ESI-MS/MS method. Altogether 18 metabolites were detected and at least 15 metabolites were reported in rat for the first time. Two new metabolites, mosapride N-oxide in rat bile, urine and plasma, morpholine ring-opened mosapride in plasma and feces, were identified by comparison with the reference standards. One known major mammalian metabolite, des-p-fluorobenzyl mosapride, was also identified. The molecular structures of nine phase I metabolites and six phase II metabolites of mosapride were elucidated based on the characteristics of their protonated molecular ions, product ions and chromatographic retention times. The phase I metabolites were mainly transformed by four main metabolism pathways, dealkylation, N-oxidation, morpholine ring cleavage and hydroxylation, with dealkylation as the predominant metabolic pathway, while phase II metabolites were mainly formed by glucuronidation. The relatively comprehensive metabolic pathway of mosapride was proposed.     

Evidence for an arene oxide-NIH shift pathway in the metabolic conversion of phenytoin to 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenylhydantoin in the rat and in man

To determine whether the hydroxylation of 5,5-diphenylhydantoin (DPH) to 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenylhydantoin (p-HPPH) occurs by an arene oxide-NIH shift process, racemic 5-(4-deuteriophenyl)-5-phenylhydantoin (p-2H-DPH) was subjected to in vivo metabolic experiments in the rat and in man. After enzymatic hydrolysis of the urine, para-hydroxylated metabolites were separated by HPLC. Deuterium retention in the isolated metabolites determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, was 68-72%. The results are interpreted as the predominance of an arene oxide-NIH shift pathway in those two metabolic systems. Induction of rats with phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene showed no effect on the value of deuterium retention.     

HPLC-NMR with severe column overloading: fast-track metabolite identification in urine and bile samples from rat and dog treated with [14C]-ZD6126

The subject of this study was the determination of the major urinary and biliary metabolites of [(14)C]-ZD6126 following i.v. administration to female and male bile duct cannulated rats at 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg, respectively, and male bile duct cannulated dogs at 6 mg/kg by HPLC-NMR spectroscopy. ZD6126 is a phosphorylated pro-drug, which is rapidly hydrolysed to the active metabolite, ZD6126 phenol. The results presented here demonstrate that [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol is subsequently metabolised extensively by male dogs and both, male and female rats. Recovery of the dose in bile and urine was determined utilising the radiolabel, revealing biliary excretion as the major route of excretion (93%) in dog, with the majority of the radioactivity recovered in both biofluids in the first 6 h. In the rat, greater than 92% recovery was obtained within the first 24 h. The major route of excretion was via the bile 51-93% within the first 12 h. The administered phosphorylated pro-drug was not observed in any of the excreta samples. Metabolite profiles of bile and urine samples were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with radiochemical detection (HPLC-RAD), which revealed a number of radiolabelled components in each of the biofluids. The individual metabolites were subsequently identified by HPLC-NMR spectroscopy and HPLC-MS. In the male dog, the major component in urine and bile was the [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol glucuronide, which accounted for 3% and 77% of the dose, respectively. [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol was observed in urine at 1% of dose, but was not observed in bile. A sulphate conjugate of demethylated [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol was identified in bile by HPLC-NMR and confirmed by HPLC-MS. In the rat, the bile contained two major radiolabelled components. One was identified as the [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol glucuronide, the other as a glucuronide conjugate of demethylated [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol. However, a marked difference in the proportions of these two components was observed between male and female rats, either due to a sex difference in metabolism or a difference in dose level. The glucuronide conjugate of the demethylated [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol was present at higher concentration in the bile of male rats (4-34%), while the phenol glucuronide was present at higher concentration in the bile of female rats (8-70%) over a 0-6 h collection period. A third component was only observed in the bile samples (0-6 h and 6-12 h) of male rats. This was identified as being the same sulphate conjugate of demethylated [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol as the one observed in dog bile. The rat urines contained two main metabolites in greatly varying concentrations, namely the demethylated [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol glucuronide and the glucuronide of [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol. Again, the differences in relative amounts between male and female rats were observed, the major metabolite in the urines from male rats being the demethylated [(14)C]-ZD6126 phenol (0-17% in 0-24 h), whilst the phenol glucuronide, accounting for 0.5-50% of the dose over 0-24 h, was the major metabolite in females. Methanolic extracts of the pooled biofluid samples were submitted for HPLC-NMR for the quick identification of the major metabolites. Following a single injection of the equivalent of 6-28 ml of the biofluids directly onto the HPLC-column with minimal sample preparation, the metabolites could be largely successfully isolated. Despite severe column overloading, the major metabolites of [(14)C]-ZD6126 could be positively identified, and the results are presented in this paper.
