HIV protease inhibitor ABT-378 (ABT-378) was metabolized
very extensively and rapidly by liver microsomes from mouse, rat, dog,
monkey, and humans. The rates of NADPH-dependent metabolism of ABT-378
ranged from 2.39 to 9.80 nmol·mg microsomal
protein
1·min
1, with monkey liver
microsomes exhibiting the highest rates of metabolism. ABT-378 was
metabolized to 12 metabolites (M-1 to M-12), which were characterized
by mass and NMR spectroscopy. The metabolite profile of ABT-378 in
liver microsomes from all five species was similar, except that the
mouse liver microsomes did not form M-9, a minor secondary metabolite.
The predominant site of metabolism was the cyclic urea moiety of
ABT-378. In all five species, the major metabolites were M-1
(4-oxo-ABT-378) and M-3 and M-4 (4-hydroxy-ABT-378). Metabolite M-2
(6-hydroxy-ABT-378) was formed by rodents at a faster rate than by dog,
monkey, and human liver microsomes. Metabolites M-5 to M-8 were
identified as monohydroxylated derivatives of ABT-378. Metabolites M-9
and M-10 were identified as hydroxylated products of M-1. Metabolites M-11 and M-12 were identified as dihydroxylated derivatives of ABT-378.
The metabolite profile in human hepatocytes and liver slices was
similar to that of human liver microsomes. The results of the current
study indicate that ABT-378 is highly susceptible to oxidative
metabolism in vitro, and possibly in vivo, in humans.
