代谢
他克莫司通过混合功能氧化酶系统广泛代谢,主要是细胞色素P-450系统(CYP3A)。已经提出了一个代谢途径,形成8种可能的代谢物。在体外实验中,去甲基化和羟基化被识别为生物转化的主要机制。在人肝微粒体培养中确定的主要代谢物是13-去甲基他克莫司。在体外研究中,据报道,31-去甲基代谢物具有与他克莫司相同的活性。
Tacrolimus is extensively metabolized by the mixed-function oxidase system, primarily the cytochrome P-450 system (CYP3A). A metabolic pathway leading to the formation of 8 possible metabolites has been proposed. Demethylation and hydroxylation were identified as the primary mechanisms of biotransformation in vitro. The major metabolite identified in incubations with human liver microsomes is 13-demethyl tacrolimus. In in vitro studies, a 31-demethyl metabolite has been reported to have the same activity as tacrolimus.
