Popis: | Furmonertinib was designed for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR T790M mutation. In this study, we investigated the metabolic disposition and mass balance in humans and tissue distribution in rats. After a single oral administration of 97.9 μCi/81.5 mg [(14)C]-furmonertinib mesylate to six healthy male volunteers, the absorption process of furmonertinib was fast with a t(max) of total plasma radioactivity at 0.75 h. Afterward, furmonertinib was extensively metabolized, with the parent drug and active metabolite AST5902 accounting for 1.68% and 0.97% of total radioactivity in plasma. The terminal t(1/2) of total radioactivity in plasma was as long as 333 h, suggesting that the covalent binding of drug-related substances to plasma proteins was irreversible to a great extent. The most abundant metabolites identified in feces were desmethyl metabolite (AST5902), cysteine conjugate (M19), and parent drug (M0), which accounted for 6.28%, 5.52%, and 1.38% of the dose, respectively. After intragastric administration of 124 μCi/9.93 mg/kg [(14)C]-furmonertinib to rats, drug-related substances were widely and rapidly distributed in tissues within 4 h. The concentration of total radioactivity in the lung was 100-fold higher than that in rat plasma, which could be beneficial to the treatment of lung cancer. Mass balance in humans was achieved with 77.8% of the administered dose recovered in excretions within 35 days after administration, including 6.63% and 71.2% in urine and feces, respectively. In conclusion, [(14)C]-furmonertinib is completely absorbed and rapidly distributed into lung tissue, extensively metabolized in humans, presented mostly as covalent conjugates in plasma, and slowly eliminated mostly via fecal route. |
