Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Three male beagle dogs were given 10 mg/kg iv and oral doses of [14C]acrivastine, a novel nonsedating antihistaminic agent, in a nonrandomized crossover experiment. Urine and feces were collected for 72 hr after dosing. After iv dosing, a mean of 34% was recovered in the urine, and 63% was recovered in the feces. After po dosing, a mean of 29% of the radiocarbon was recovered in the urine, and 63% was recovered in the feces (dose adjusted for 14% lost in vomitus). Acrivastine and three major metabolites were detected in the excreta. The metabolites were identified as a side-chain-reduced analog of acrivastine (metabolite 3, 270C81), a gamma-aminobutyric acid analog of 270C81 (metabolite 2), and a benzoic acid analog of 270C81 (metabolite 1). After iv dosing, 34% of the dose was excreted as parent drug, 21% as metabolite 3, 15% as metabolite 2, and 6% as metabolite 1, while after po dosing, 35% of the dose was excreted as parent drug, 18% as metabolite 3, 11% as metabolite 2, and 7% as metabolite 1. Pharmacokinetic analysis of acrivastine plasma concentration-time curves after both routes of administration indicated a mean total body clearance of 17.3 ml/min/kg, a Vss of 0.93 liter/kg, a terminal half-life of 0.7 hr, and an oral bioavailability of 40%. The apparent plasma half-life of the metabolite, 270C81, was 1.5 hr. Analysis of AUC values indicated that greater amounts of 270C81 than acrivastine circulated in plasma after both iv and po dosing, and that first-pass metabolism of acrivastine to 270C81 occurred. The results indicated that acrivastine was extensively metabolized in the dog to 270C81 and suggested that 270C81 itself underwent further metabolism to metabolites 1 and 2.
