AB In vivo and in vitro metabolism of
6-chloro-4(S)-cyclopropyl-3,4-dihydro-4-((2-pyridyl)
ethynyl)quinazolin-2(1H)-one (L-738,372), a potent human
immunodeficiency virus-type 1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor, has been
investigated in rats, dogs, and monkeys. Following 0.9 mg/kg iv and 9
mg/kg po doses, systemic blood clearance (CLB) and bioavailability (F)
of L-738,372 were species-dependent and inversely related (CLB = 48, 15,
and 3 ml/min/kg; F = 6, 62 and 94%, in dogs, rats, and monkeys,
respectively). Incubation of L-738,372 with rat liver slices and liver
microsomes from all species studied led to the formation of two
hydroxylated metabolites, M1 and M2. Kinetic studies of the microsomal
metabolism of L-738,372 indicated that M1 was formed by a much higher
affinity, but lower capacity enzyme(s) than that which catalyzed M2
formation in rats, dogs, and monkeys. The total intrinsic clearance of
metabolite formation (CL(int) total = CL(int) M1 + CL(int) M2) was
highest in dogs, followed by rats and monkeys. In dogs, CL(int) total
was caused almost exclusively by CL(int) M1. Extrapolation of the
CL(int) total values to the hepatic clearances (19, 8.4, and
0.9ml/min/kg in dogs, rats, and monkeys, respectively) showed a similar
rank order to the CLB observed in vivo. Good agreement between these in
vivo and in vitro results suggests that the species differences in
hepatic first-pass metabolism, and not the intrinsic absorption,
contributed significantly to the observed differences in F.(ABSTRACT
