Pharmacokinetics, metabolism and excretion of the glycine antagonist GV150526A in rat and dog.
1. The pharmacokinetics, metabolic fate and excretion of 3-[-2(phenylcarbamoyl) ethenyl-4,6-dichloroindole-2-carboxylic acid (GV150526), a novel glycine antagonist for stroke, in rat and dog following intravenous administration of [C14]-GV150526A were investigated. 2. Studies were also performed in bile duct-cannulated animals to confirm the route of elimination and to obtain more information on metabolite identity. 3. Metabolites in plasma, urine and bile were identified by HPLC-MS/MS and NMR spectroscopy. 4. GV150526A was predominantly excreted in the faeces via the bile, with only trace metabolites of radioactivity in urine (< 5%). Radioactivity in rat bile was predominantly due to metabolites, whereas approximately 50% of the radioactivity in dog bile was due to parent GV150526. 5. The principal metabolites in bile were identified as glucuronide conjugates of the carboxylic acid, whereas in rat urine the main metabolite was a sulphate conjugate of an aromatic oxidation metabolite. Multiple glucuronide peaks were observed and identified as isomeric glucuronides and their anomers arising from acyl migration and muta-rotation.
