代谢
口服给药后,eszopiclone广泛生物转化为其主要代谢物S-去甲基唑吡克隆和唑吡克隆-N-氧化物,这些代谢物大部分活性较低。参与eszopiclone代谢的酶主要是CYP3A(主要代谢酶)、CYP2C8和CYP2E1。N-氧化物衍生物在动物中显示出较弱的药理活性。N-去甲基代谢物具有药理活性。
Following oral administration, eszopiclone is extensively biotransformed and the major metabolites are S-desmethylzopiclone and zopiclone-N-oxide, which are largely inactive.. The enzymes involved in the metabolism of eszopiclone are CYP3A (the primary metabolizing enzyme), CYP2C8, and CYP2E1. The N-oxide derivative shows weak pharmacological activity in animals. The N-desmethyl metabolite is pharmacologically active.
