1. Nufenoxole, a novel antidiarrhoeal agent, was well absorbed in rat, monkey and human after oral administration. Systemic availability of nufenoxole was 85% in monkey and 102% in man. 2. The elimination rate was much faster in rat (t1/2 of 1.8 h) and monkey (t1/2 of 4.9 h) compared with human (t1/2 of 35.8 h). 3. After oral and i.v. 14C-nufenoxole, concentrations of 14C in human erythrocytes and saliva were approx. 3- and 4-fold lower, respectively, than plasma concentrations. 4. Nufenoxole was metabolized to metabolites hydroxylated on the methyl substituent and isoquinuclidine ring in rat and monkey. The isoquinuclidine ring hydroxylation, a major pathway in human, was stereospecific. 5. Following oral doses of 14C-nufenoxole the urinary excretion of radioactivity (about 8%) was less than the faecal excretion (66.6%) in rat, while urinary excretion was the major route of drug elimination (about 60%) in man. In monkey, urinary and faecal excretion were equally important. |
