代谢
阿卡波糖在小肠中通过肠道细菌和消化酶被代谢。从尿液中已经通过色谱法分离出至少13种代谢物。主要的代谢物被确认为4-甲基-1,2,3-苯并三酚衍生物(即硫酸盐、甲基和葡萄糖醛酸苷)。一种代谢物(由阿卡波糖分子断裂一个葡萄糖分子形成)也具有α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制活性。这种代谢物与原化合物一起从尿液中回收,占给药总剂量的不到2%。
Acarbose is metabolized exclusively within the gastrointestinal tract, principally by intestinal bacteria, but also by digestive enzymes. ... At least 13 metabolites have been separated chromatographically from urine specimens. The major metabolites have been identified as 4-methylpyrogallol derivatives (i.e., sulfate, methyl, and glucuronide conjugates). One metabolite (formed by cleavage of a glucose molecule from acarbose) also has alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity. This metabolite, together with the parent compound, recovered from the urine, accounts for less than 2% of the total administered dose.
