代谢
阿卡波糖仅在消化道内代谢,主要由肠道细菌以及消化酶进行。至少已经通过色谱法从尿液中分离出13种代谢物。主要的代谢物被鉴定为4-甲基pyrogallol衍生物(即硫酸盐、甲基和葡萄糖苷酸结合物)。一种代谢物(通过从阿卡波糖上断裂一个葡萄糖分子形成)也具有α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制活性。这种代谢物与从尿液中回收的母化合物一起,占总给药剂量的不到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.
