Thorough metabolic studies have not been conducted, but it appears that deglycination of midodrine to desglymidodrine takes place in many tissues, and both compounds are metabolized in part by the liver.
The human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms catalyzing the oxidation metabolism of desglymidodrine (DMAE), an active metabolite of midodrine, were studied. Recombinant human CYP2D6, 1A2 and 2C19 exhibited appreciable catalytic activity with respect to the 5'-O-demethylation of DMAE. The O-demethylase activity by the recombinant CYP2D6 was much higher than that of other CYP isoforms. Quinidine (a selective inhibitor of CYP2D6) inhibited the O-demethylation of DMAE in pooled human microsomes by 86%, while selective inhibitors for other forms of CYP did not show any appreciable effect. Although the activity of CYP2D6 was almost negligible in the PM microsomes, the O-demethylase activity of DMAE was found to be maintained by about 25% of the pooled microsomes. Furafylline (a selective inhibitor of CYP1A2) inhibited the M-2 formation in the PM microsomes by 57%. The treatment of pooled microsomes with an antibody against CYP2D6 inhibited the formation of M-2 by about 75%, whereas that of the PM microsomes did not show drastic inhibition. In contrast, the antibody against CYP1A2 suppressed the activity by 40 to 50% in the PM microsomes. These findings suggest that CYP2D6 have the highest catalytic activity of DMAE 5'-O-demethylation in human liver microsomes, followed by CYP1A2 to a small extent.
Thorough metabolic studies have not been conducted, but it appears that deglycination of midodrine to desglymidodrine takes place in many tissues and both compounds are metabolized in part by the liver. Neither midodrine nor desglymidodrine is a substrate for monoamine oxidase.

It appears possible, although there is no supporting experimental evidence, that the high renal clearance of desglymidodrine (a base) is due to active tubular secretion by the base-secreting system also responsible for the secretion of such drugs as metformin, cimetidine, ranitidine, procainamide, triamterene, flecainide and quinidine. Thus there may be a potential for drug-drug interaction with these drugs.
Rapidly absorbed following oral administration. The peak plasma concentrations of the prodrug, desglymidodrine, is reached about half an hour following drug administration. The metabolites reach their peak plasma concentrations at about 1 to 2 hours following drug administration. The absolute bioavailability of midodrine (measured as desglymidodrine) is 93% and is not affected by food. As desglymidodrine displays poor diffusibility across the blood-brain barrier, it is expected to have minimal effects on the central nervous system.
Renal elimination of midodrine is insignificant. The renal clearance of desglymidodrine is of the order of 385 mL/minute, most, about 80%, by active renal secretion. The actual mechanism of active secretion has not been studied, but it is possible that it occurs by the base-secreting pathway responsible for the secretion of several other drugs that are bases.
Midodrine hydrochloride is a prodrug, i.e., the therapeutic effect of orally administered midodrine is due to the major metabolite desglymidodrine, formed by deglycination of midodrine. After oral administration, midodrine hydrochloride is rapidly absorbed. The plasma levels of the prodrug peak after about half an hour and decline with a half-life of approximately 25 minutes, while the metabolite reaches peak blood concentrations about 1 to 2 hours after a dose of midodrine and has a half-life of about 3 to 4 hours. The absolute bioavailability of midodrine (measured as desglymidodrine) is 93%. The bioavailability of desglymidodrine is not affected by food. Approximately the same amount of desglymidodrine is formed after intravenous and oral administration of midodrine. Neither midodrine nor desglymidodrine is bound to plasma proteins to any significant extent.
Midodrine is an oral drug for orthostatic hypotension. This drug is almost completely absorbed after oral administration and converted into its active form, 1-(2',5'-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol) (DMAE), by the cleavage of a glycine residue. The intestinal H+-coupled peptide transporter 1 (PEPT1) transports various peptide-like drugs and has been used as a target molecule for improving the intestinal absorption of poorly absorbed drugs through amino acid modifications. Because midodrine meets these requirements, we examined whether midodrine can be a substrate for PEPT1. The uptake of midodrine, but not DMAE, was markedly increased in PEPT1-expressing oocytes compared with water-injected oocytes. Midodrine uptake by Caco-2 cells was saturable and was inhibited by various PEPT1 substrates. Midodrine absorption from the rat intestine was very rapid and was significantly inhibited by the high-affinity PEPT1 substrate cyclacillin, assessed by the alteration of the area under the blood concentration-time curve for 30 min and the maximal concentration. Some amino acid derivatives of DMAE were transported by PEPT1, and their transport was dependent on the amino acids modified. In contrast to neutral substrates, cationic midodrine was taken up extensively at alkaline pH, and this pH profile was reproduced by a 14-state model of PEPT1, which we recently reported. These findings indicate that PEPT1 can transport midodrine and contributes to the high bioavailability of this drug and that Gly modification of DMAE is desirable for a prodrug of DMAE.
