代谢
唑吡坦被肝脏中的细胞色素P450(CYP)同工酶,主要是CYP3A4,还有CYP1A2和CYP2C9代谢为三种药理上不活跃的代谢物。尽管唑吡坦被大量代谢,但这三种代谢物都是无活性的。人类主要的代谢途径是氧化苯环上的甲基团或咪唑吡啶部分上的甲基团,产生羧酸(代谢物I和II),以及羟基化咪唑吡啶基团中的一个(产生代谢物X)。另一种较少见的途径是通过取代酰胺上的甲基团的氧化。
Zolpidem is metabolized to three pharmacologically by various hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes, mainly CYP3A4, but also CYP1A2 and CYP2C9,. Although zolpidem is heavily metabolized, all three metabolites are inactive. The major metabolic routes in humans are oxidation of the methyl group on the phenyl ring or the methyl group on the imidazopyridine moiety, to produce carboxylic acids (metabolites I and II), and hydroxylation of one of the imidazopyridine groups (to produce metabolite X). Another less common pathway is by the oxidation of the methyl groups on the substituted amide.
