代谢
细胞色素P450(CYP)3A4/5和CYP2C9参与了dexloxiglumide的代谢,生成O-脱甲基dexloxiglumide。这个代谢物进一步氧化为dexloxiglumide羧酸。这两个主要代谢物(占dexloxiglumide消除的50%)已被确定。然而,在人体血浆中,未改变的药物是代谢图谱的主要成分(高达91%)。母药被认为是该化合物疗效的主要贡献者,因为其主要代谢物在药理上是无效的。
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4/5 and CYP2C9 have been implicated in the metabolism of dexloxiglumide to produce O-demethyl dexloxi-glumide. This metabolite is further oxidised to dexloxiglumide carboxylic acid. These two major metabolites (accounting for up to 50% of dexloxiglumide elimination) have been identified. However, in human plasma the unchanged drug represents the major (up to 91%) component of the metabolic profile. The parent drug is believed to be the major contributor to the efficacy of the compound, since its major metabolites are pharmacologically inactive.
