Metabolism is limited (<10%). Most of the active compound is excreted by the kidneys (81%). A minor amount of varenicline is glucuronidated, oxidated, N-formylated, as well as conjugated to form a hexose.

Varenicline undergoes minimal metabolism, with 92% excreted unchanged in the urine.
Varenicline undergoes minimal metabolism with 92% excreted unchanged in the urine and less than 10% excreted as metabolites. Minor metabolites in urine include varenicline N-carbamoylglucuronide and hydroxyvarenicline. In circulation, varenicline comprises 91% of drug related material. Minor circulating metabolites include varenicline N-carbamoylglucuronide and N-glucosylvarenicline.
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Varenicline is used as an adjunct in the cessation of cigarette smoking. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Safety and efficacy of varenicline as an adjunct for smoking cessation have been established in 6 placebo-controlled or active-comparator studies in 3659 patients (mean age: 43 years; 79-96% white; mean smoking history: about 25 years) who smoked at least 10 cigarettes daily (mean: about 21 cigarettes daily). Safety and efficacy of varenicline also have been evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 703 patients with stable, documented cardiovascular disease (other than hypertension) who smoked at least 10 cigarettes daily; patients receiving varenicline and placebo were comparable in baseline characteristics, including age (mean age 57 and 55.9 years, respectively), race (80.3 and 80.8% white, respectively), gender (75.2 and 82.2% male, respectively), and mean smoking history (40 and 39 years, and 22.1 and 22.9 cigarettes daily, respectively). Safety and efficacy of varenicline also have been evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 460 patients (mean age 57 years, 82-84% white, approximately 62% male, mean smoking history of approximately 40 years) with mild to moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (postbronchodilator FEV1/FVC below 70% and FEV1 at least 50% of predicted normal value) who smoked at least 10 cigarettes daily. Serious neuropsychiatric symptoms, including changes in mood (e.g., depression, mania), psychosis, hallucinations, paranoia, delusions, homicidal ideation, hostility, agitation, aggression, anxiety, panic, and suicidality (e.g., suicidal ideation, attempted and completed suicides), have been reported during postmarketing experience in patients receiving varenicline. Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, have been reported during postmarketing experience in patients receiving varenicline. Safety and efficacy of varenicline have not been established in patients younger than 18 years of age and use of the drug in this age group is not recommended. Varenicline was not genotoxic, with or without metabolic activation in vitro in human lymphocytes. ANIMAL STUDIES: Varenicline is distributed into milk in animals. Rats were administered varenicline (1, 5, and 15 mg/kg/day) by oral gavage for 2 years. In male rats (n = 65 per sex per dose group), incidences of hibernoma (tumor of the brown fat) were increased at the mid dose (1 tumor, 5 mg/kg/day, 23 times the maximum recommended human daily exposure based on AUC) and maximum dose (2 tumors, 15 mg/kg/day, 67 times the maximum recommended human daily exposure based on AUC). There was no evidence of carcinogenicity in female rats. Varenicline succinate has been shown to have an adverse effect on the fetus in animal reproduction studies. Administration of varenicline succinate to pregnant rabbits resulted in reduced fetal weights at an oral dose of 30 mg/kg/day (50 times the human AUC); this reduction was not evident following treatment with 10 mg/kg/day (23 times the maximum recommended daily human exposure based on AUC). In addition, in the offspring of pregnant rats treated with varenicline succinate there were decreases in fertility and increases in auditory startle response at an oral dose of 15 mg/kg/day (36 times the maximum recommended human daily exposure based on AUC). Varenicline succinate was not teratogenic in rats and rabbits at oral doses up to 15 and 30 mg/kg/day, respectively (36 and 50 times the maximum recommended human daily exposure based on AUC, respectively). Varenicline was not genotoxic, with or without metabolic activation, in the following assays: Ames bacterial mutation assay; mammalian CHO/HGPRT assay; and tests for cytogenetic aberrations in vivo in rat bone marrow.
Varenicline has not been associated with rates of serum enzyme elevations during therapy greater than occurs with placebo therapy, but information on these abnormalities is limited and occasional instances of asymptomatic ALT elevations leading to drug discontinuation have been reported. In prelicensure pivotal registration trials in several thousand patients, varenicline was not associated with cases of jaundice or hepatitis. Since licensure, rare case reports of serum enzyme elevations without jaundice arising within 4 weeks of starting varenicline have been published, but largely in patients with other causes of liver injury (alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis C). The injury was self-limited in course and not associated with immunoallergic or autoimmune features. In Iceland, a single case of varenicline hepatotoxicity has been reported (Case 1), there having been an estimated 20,000 persons treated with the drug in the country since its introduction.
Varenicline undergoes minimal metabolism, with 92% excreted unchanged in the urine. Renal elimination of varenicline is primarily through glomerular filtration along with active tubular secretion possibly via the organic cation transporter, OCT2.
Maximum plasma concentrations of varenicline occur typically within 3-4 hours after oral administration. Following administration of multiple oral doses of varenicline, steady-state conditions were reached within 4 days. Over the recommended dosing range, varenicline exhibits linear pharmacokinetics after single or repeated doses. In a mass balance study, absorption of varenicline was virtually complete after oral administration and systemic availability was ~90%. Oral bioavailability of varenicline is unaffected by food or time-of-day dosing. Plasma protein binding of varenicline is low (</=20%) and independent of both age and renal function.
Varenicline is eliminated principally in urine as unchanged drug. Renal elimination of the drug occurs primarily through glomerular filtration along with active tubular secretion.

The catalytic, enantioselective N-oxidation of substituted pyridines is described. The approach is predicated on a biomolecule-inspired catalytic cycle wherein high levels of asymmetric induction are provided by aspartic acid-containing peptides as the aspartyl side chain shuttles between free acid and peracid forms.

play critical roles in the deactivation and clearance of xenobiotics, including clinical drugs. NAT2 has been classified as an arylamine N‐acetyltransferase that mainly converts aromatic amines, hydroxylamines, and hydrazines. Herein, we demonstrate that the human arylamine N‐acetyltransferase NAT2 also acetylates aliphatic endogenous amines. Metabolomic analysis and chemical synthesis revealed increased
