Metabolism of a new P-glycoprotein inhibitor HM-30181 in rats using liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry.
HM-30181, 4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylic acid, [2-(2-{4-[2-(6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinolin-2-yl)-ethyl]-phenyl}-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl]amide, is a new P-glycoprotein inhibitor. This study was performed to identify the in vitro and in vivo metabolic pathway of HM-30181 in rats. Rat liver microsomal incubation of HM-30181 in the presence of NADPH resulted in the formation of four metabolites, M1-M4. M1 and M2 were identified as 2-(2-{4-[2-(6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinolin-2-yl)-ethyl]-phenyl}-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-4,5-dimethoxyaniline and 4- or 5-O-desmethyl-HM-30181, respectively, on the basis of liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis with the synthesized authentic standards. M3 and M4 were suggested to be 6- or 7-O-desmethyl-HM-30181 and hydroxy-HM-30181, respectively. These in vitro metabolites were also detected in feces and urine samples after an intravenous administration of HM-30181 to male rats. The metabolic routes for HM-30181 were O-demethylation of the methoxy group to M2 and M3, hydrolysis of the amide group to M1, and hydroxylation to M4.
