Abstract: | RS-8359, (+/-)-4-(4-cyanoanilino)-5,6-dihydro-7-hydroxy-7H-cyclopenta[d]-pyrimidine is a racemic compound with a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) inhibition activity. The substrate and product enantioselectivity with respect to 2-hydroxylation of RS-8359 enantiomers was studied using mouse and rat liver microsomes. In mice, the (S)-enantiomer was transformed to the cis-diol metabolite, whereas the (R)-enantiomer to the trans-diol metabolite. The Vmax/Km value for the formation of the cis-diol metabolite from the (S)-enantiomer was sevenfold greater than that for the formation of the trans-diol metabolite from the (R)-enantiomer. The greater Vmax/Km value for the (S)-enantiomer was due to the tenfold smaller Km value compared to that for the (R)-enantiomer. The results were in fair agreement with the previously reported low plasma concentrations of the (S)-enantiomer and the high recovery of the cis-diol metabolite derived from the (S)-enantiomer in urine after oral administration of RS-8359 to mice. Similarly to mice, in rats the (R)-enantiomer was transformed to the trans-diol metabolite, whereas the (S)-enantiomer yielded the cis-diol and trans-diol metabolites. The Vmax/Km value for the (R)-enantiomer was larger than that for the (S)-enantiomer in rats, indicating that the low plasma concentration of the (S)-enantiomer in rats might be caused by a metabolic reaction other than P450-dependent hydroxylation. CYP3A was shown to be responsible for the trans-diol formation from the (R)-enantiomer. |
