چکیده

These studies were designed to characterize the disposition and metabolism of atomoxetine hydrochloride [(-)-N-methyl-gamma-(2-methylphenoxy)benzenepropanamine hydrochloride; formerly know as tomoxetine hydrochloride] in Fischer 344 rats and beagle dogs. Atomoxetine was well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and cleared primarily by metabolism with the majority of its metabolites being excreted into the urine, 66% of the total dose in the rat and 48% in the dog. Fecal excretion, 32% of the total dose in the rat and 42% in the dog, appears to be due to biliary elimination and not due to unabsorbed dose. Nearly the entire dose was excreted within 24 h in both species. In the rat, low oral bioavailability was observed (F = 4%) compared with the high oral bioavailability in dog (F = 74%). These differences appear to be almost purely mediated by the efficient first-pass hepatic clearance of atomoxetine in rat. The biotransformation of atomoxetine was similar in the rat and dog, undergoing aromatic ring hydroxylation, benzylic oxidation (rat only), and N-demethylation. The primary oxidative metabolite of atomoxetine was 4-hydroxyatomoxetine, which was subsequently conjugated forming O-glucuronide and O-sulfate (dog only) metabolites. Although subtle differences were observed in the excretion and biotransformation of atomoxetine in rats and dogs, the primary difference observed between these species was the extent of first-pass metabolism and the degree of systemic exposure to atomoxetine and its metabolites.

Metabolite profiles of degarelix, a new gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonist, in rat, dog, and monkey.

Degarelix is a novel competitive gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor blocker (antagonist). In this study, the nonclinical metabolism and excretion of degarelix was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rat, beagle dog, and cynomolgus monkey. Degarelix was found to be stable when incubated in microsomes and cryopreserved hepatocytes from animal liver tissue. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, an...

Functional analysis of dog multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2) in comparison with rat Mrp2.

We investigated whether the species difference in the biliary excretion activity of some Mrp2 substrates was attributable to the intrinsic transport potential or the expression level of Mrp2, especially in rat and dog. Dog Mrp2 cDNA was isolated from beagle dog liver, and a vesicle transport study was performed using recombinant rat and dog Mrp2 expressed in insect Sf9 cells. The ATP-dependent ...
