ABSTRACT
The pharmacokinetics and drug disposition of 14C 1-[3-[[4-[2-(1-methylethoxy)phenyl]-1-piperazinyl]methyl]benzoy]piperidine succinate (RWJ-37796, mazapertine, Mz) have been investigated in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Approximately 93% of the orally administered radioactive dose (30 mg/kg) was recovered after 7 days. Fecal elimination accounted for approximately 63% of the dose while urine accounted for 30%. The rate of elimination of 14C Mz was rapid with 81% of the total fecal and 94% of the total urinary radioactivity being excreted within 24 h. There were no significant gender differences in the overall excretion pattern. The maximal plasma concentration of Mz and total radioactivity occurred at 0.5h after dosing and plasma concentrations were consistently higher in female rats. The Mz concentration declined rapidly in plasma with a terminal half-life<2 h. The total radioactive dose in plasma displayed a considerably longer terminal half-life of 9-13 h. Mz and a total of 15 metabolites were isolated and identified in these samples. Unchanged Mz accounted for <5% of the radioactive dose in excreta samples and <8% of the sample in plasma (0-24 h). Metabolites were formed by phenyl hydroxylation, piperidyl oxidation, O-dealkylation, N-dephenylation, oxidative N-debenzylation and glucuronide conjugation.
