AbstractThe pharmacokinetics of centpropazine (CNPZ), an antidepressant, was studied in rats. CNPZ was administered to groups of rats (n=3 to 5) via oral (40 mg/kg), intravenous (5 mg/kg), intraperitoneal (5 mg/kg) and intraduodenal (4 and 8 mg/kg) routes. The AUCs of CNPZ were estimated and the bioavailabilities were calculated. CNPZ was characterized by a short elimination half‐life (39.5 min), a high clearance (118 ml/min/kg) and a relatively large volume of distribution (1945 ml/kg) after intravenous administration. After oral administration CNPZ exhibited a very low oral bioavailability (∼0.2%). The total first pass effect (Egit+liver) was calculated as 98.7%. The bioavailability of CNPZ was similar when administered by intraduodenal and oral routes. CNPZ readily penetrated into the brain and reached Cmax by 30 min post oral dosing. About 92.0%±0.8% of the drug was bound to serum proteins. Low oral bioavailability of CNPZ following oral administration is likely due to its metabolism by intestinal mucosa and liver.

The potential sites for metabolism of centpropazine (CPZ) (an antidepressant) were evaluated in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The isolation and identification of the major metabolites formed in the presence of rat liver S9 fraction, intestine, and red blood cells under aerobic conditions were performed using high-performance liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. CPZ was found to be extensively metabolized to seven possible metabolites by liver S9 fraction in the presence of a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate generating system at 37 degrees C. Both intestinal wall and red blood cells were also found to metabolize the compound. This metabolite structure was confirmed by comparison with that of its synthetic standard. The drug was stable in intestinal contents. On the basis of our finding, we propose the in vitro metabolic pathways for CPZ.

Evaluation of absorbability of centpropazine in rats: in-situ and in-vivo approaches

Q3 · MEDICINE

Article

Author: Gupta, Ram C ; Atul, Bhattaram V ; Paliwal, Jyoti K

AbstractIntestinal absorption of centpropazine was studied in rats by both in-situ (closed-loop method) and in-vivo (portal-venous difference) approaches. The drug was found to be well absorbed from solution in in-situ studies. However, the results obtained in-vivo suggested that very low amounts of drug reach the portal circulation after oral dosing. This could imply extensive binding to the mucosa or metabolism in the intestinal wall. The presence of higher amounts of metabolites in the portal vein compared with the inferior vena cava samples signal their formation in the gastrointestinal tract or enterohepatic recirculation. These findings will be useful in incorporating suitable structural and formulation modifications for enhancing the bioavailability of centpropazine and its analogues.
