The metabolism in animals and man of oxmetidine--a new histamine H2-receptor antagonist.
The absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of [14C]oxmetidine in rat, dog and man has been studied following both i.v. and oral administration. Excretion is rapid and essentially complete in all three species. The biliary route is predominant. Distribution of radioactivity is widespread although none is seen in the brain. Metabolite patterns in urine from rat, dog and man have been compared by thin-layer chromatography. Metabolite patterns in urine and bile from rat and dog have been compared by high pressure liquid chromatography. Six major metabolites have been isolated and identified including two O-glucuronides and one N-glucuronide.
