Disposition of vildagliptin, a novel dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor, in rats and dogs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pharmacokinetics, absorption, metabolism, and excretion of vildagliptin, a potent and orally active inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 4, were evaluated in male rats and dogs. Vildagliptin was rapidly absorbed with peak plasma concentrations occurring between 0.5 and 1.5 h. Moderate to high bioavailability was observed in both species (45-100%). The distribution and elimination half-lives of vildagliptin were short: 0.57 h [82% of area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC)] and 8.8 h in the rat and 0.05 and 0.89 h (87% of AUC) in the dog, respectively. The volume of distribution was 1.6 and 8.6 l/kg in dogs and rats, respectively, indicating moderate to high tissue distribution. The plasma clearance of vildagliptin was relatively high for the rat (2.9 l/h/kg) and dog (1.3 l/h/kg) compared with their hepatic blood flow. The major circulating components in plasma after an intravenous or oral dose were the parent compound (rat and dog), a carboxylic acid metabolite from the hydrolysis of the amide bond M15.3 (dog), and a carboxylic acid metabolite from the hydrolysis of the cyano moiety M20.7 (rat and dog). After intravenous dosing, urinary excretion of radioactivity (47.6-72.4%) was the major route of elimination for rats and dogs as 18.9 to 21.3% of the dose was excreted into urine as unchanged parent drug. The recovery was good in both species (81-100% of the dose). Vildagliptin was mainly metabolized before excretion in both species. Similar to plasma, the most predominant metabolite in excreta was M20.7 in rats and dogs, and another major metabolite in dogs was M15.3.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 greatly contributes to the hydrolysis of vildagliptin in human liver.
The major metabolic pathway of vildagliptin in mice, rats, dogs, and humans is hydrolysis at the cyano group to produce a carboxylic acid metabolite M20.7 (LAY151), whereas the major metabolic enzyme of vildagliptin has not been identified. In the present study, we determined the contribution rate of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) to the hydrolysis of vildagliptin in the liver. We performed hyd...

متن کاملDipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor ameliorates status epilepticus seizures and cognitive disturbances in a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy
Background and Objective: In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), recurrent seizures accompany with cognitive deficit. In some patients, the current medications cannot provide satisfactory control of seizures, therefore new drugs that act through different mechanisms are required. In the present study, the useful effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor was evaluated in experimental model of tempora...
متن کاملHepatic Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Controls Pharmacokinetics of Vildagliptin In Vivo.
The main route of elimination of vildagliptin, which is an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), in humans is cyano group hydrolysis to produce a carboxylic acid metabolite M20.7. Our in vitro study previously demonstrated that DPP-4 itself greatly contributed to the hydrolysis of vildagliptin in mouse, rat, and human livers. To investigate whether hepatic DPP-4 contributes to the hydrol...

Estrogen deprivation aggravates cardiac injury after myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Although either estrogen or the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, vildagliptin, reduces myocardial damage following cardiac I/R, their effects on the heart in obese-insulin resistant and estrogen deprived conditions remain unknown. Ovariectomized (O) rats (n = 36) were divided to recei...
