Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of [C]-dasotraline in humans

چکیده
Dasotraline is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, and the early clinical trials show a slow absorption and long elimination half-life. To investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of dasotraline in humans, a single dose of [C]-dasotraline was administered to eight healthy male adult volunteers. At 35 days, 90.7% of the dosed radioactivity was recovered in the urine (68.3%) and feces (22.4%). The major metabolic pathways involved were: (1) amine oxidation to form oxime M41 and sequential sulfation to form M42 or glucuronidation to form M43; (2) N-hydroxylation and sequential glucuronidation to form M35; (3) oxidative deamination to form (S)-tetralone; (4) monooxidation of (S)-tetralone and sequential glucuronidation to form M31A and M32; and (5) N-acetylation to form (1R,4S)-acetamide M102. A total of 8 metabolites were detected and structurally elucidated with 4 in plasma (M41, M42, M43, and M35), 7 in urine (M41, M42, M43, M31A, M32, M35, and (S)-tetralone), and 3 in feces (M41, (S)-tetralone, and (1R,4S)-acetamide). The 2 most abundant circulating metabolites were sulfate (M42) and glucuronide (M43) conjugates of the oxime of dasotraline, accounting for 60.1% and 15.0% of the total plasma radioactivity, respectively; unchanged dasotraline accounted for 8.59%. The oxime M41 accounted for only 0.62% of the total plasma radioactivity and was detected only at early time points. M35 was a minor glucuronide metabolite, undetectable by radioactivity but identified by mass spectrometry. The results demonstrate that dasotraline was slowly absorbed, and extensively metabolized by oxidation and subsequent phase II conjugations. The findings from this study also demonstrated that metabolism of dasotraline by humans did not produce metabolites that may cause a safety concern.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Dasotraline is a novel inhibitor of dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake currently being investigated in clinical studies for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Uniquely, relative to current ADHD medications, dasotraline has a slow absorption and long elimination half-life. Here we relate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dasot...
