PR-104 is the phosphate ester of a 3,5-dinitrobenzamide nitrogen mustard (PR-104A) that is reduced to active hydroxylamine and amine metabolites by reductases in tumors. In this study, we evaluate the excretion of [3H]PR-104 in mice and determine its metabolite profile in mice, rats, dogs, and humans after a single intravenous dose. Total radioactivity was rapidly and quantitatively excreted in mice, with cumulative excretion of 46% in urine and 50% in feces. The major urinary metabolites in mice were products from oxidative N -dealkylation and/or glutathione conjugation of the nitrogen mustard moiety, including subsequent mercapturic acid pathway metabolites. A similar metabolite profile was seen in mouse bile, mouse plasma, and rat urine and plasma. Dogs and humans also showed extensive thiol conjugation but little evidence of N -dealkylation. Humans, like rodents, showed appreciable reduced metabolites in plasma, but concentrations of the cytotoxic amine metabolite (PR-104M) were higher in mice than humans. The most conspicuous difference in metabolite profile was the much more extensive O -β-glucuronidation of PR-104A in dogs and humans than in rodents. The structure of the O -β-glucuronide (PR-104G) was confirmed by independent synthesis. Its urinary excretion was responsible for 13 ± 2% of total dose in humans but only 0.8 ± 0.1% in mice. Based on these metabolite profiles, biotransformation of PR-104 in rodents is markedly different from that in humans, suggesting that rodents may not be appropriate for modeling human biotransformation and toxicology of PR-104.
PR-104是3,5-二硝基苯氨基甲烷氮芥(PR-104A)的磷酸酯,能够通过肿瘤中的还原酶被还原为活性氢氧胺和氨基代谢物。在本研究中,我们评估了小鼠对[3H]PR-104的排泄情况,并确定了在小鼠、大鼠、狗和人类在单次静脉给药后其代谢物的特征。小鼠中总放射活性迅速且定量地排泄,其中46%通过尿液排出,50%通过粪便排出。小鼠尿液中的主要代谢物是氮芥部分经过氧化N-去烷基化和/或谷胱甘肽结合产生的产物,包括后续的巯酸代谢通路代谢物。在小鼠胆汁、小鼠血浆以及大鼠尿液和血浆中也观察到了类似的代谢物特征。狗和人类也显示出广泛的硫醇结合,但N-去烷基化的证据较少。与啮齿动物类似,人类在血浆中显示出显著的减少代谢物,但细胞毒性胺代谢物(PR-104M)的浓度在小鼠中高于人类。代谢物特征中最明显的差异是狗和人类的O-β-葡萄糖苷酸化(PR-104A)程度远高于啮齿动物。O-β-葡萄糖苷酸(PR-104G)的结构通过独立合成得到了证实。其尿液排泄占人类总剂量的13 ± 2%,而在小鼠中仅为0.8 ± 0.1%。基于这些代谢物特征,PR-104在啮齿动物中的生物转化显著不同于在人类中的情况,这表明啮齿动物可能不适合用于模拟人类的PR-104生物转化和毒理学。
