Absorption, metabolism and excretion of a single oral dose of 14 C-repaglinide during repaglinide multiple dosing

Abstract: After oral dosing with repaglinide, the mean peak plasma concentration was rapidly attained and, thereafter, plasma concentrations decreased promptly. The major route of excretion was via the faeces. These properties make repaglinide a suitable insulin secretagogue for all patients with type-2 diabetes who retain sufficient beta-cell function.

“…Repaglinide metabolism is complex, and six different metabolites have been reported ( Fig. 1) (van Heiningen et al, 1999;Bidstrup et al, 2003). The metabolites have no hypoglycemic effect and are mainly excreted via bile into feces (van Heiningen et al, 1999).…”

“…1) (van Heiningen et al, 1999;Bidstrup et al, 2003). The metabolites have no hypoglycemic effect and are mainly excreted via bile into feces (van Heiningen et al, 1999). Involvement of CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 has been reported in vitro, as well as in vivo (Bidstrup et al, 2003;Niemi et al, 2003Niemi et al, , 2004Kajosaari et al, 2005), but the relative contribution of the two enzymes remains unclear.…”

“…After oral administration it is rapidly absorbed with absolute bioavailability of approximately 60% (Hatorp, 2002). Repaglinide is extensively biotransformed in the liver to inactive metabolites, which are predominantly excreted via the feces and to approximately 8% via urine (van Heiningen et al, 1999). In vitro, both CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 were shown to be the crucial enzymes responsible for repaglinide metabolism with formation of M1 and M4 as the quantitatively most important metabolites.…”

“…Among this CYP3A4 has been identified as an important enzyme in the in-vitro metabolism of repaglinide [23]. The repaglinide pharmacokinetics was further complicated because of active hepatic uptake of repaglinide by OATP uptake transporter and it is a substrate for the OATP transporter [24].…”
