(-)-N-{2-[(R)-3-(6,7-Dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-2-carbonyl)piperidino]ethyl}-4-fluorobenzamide (YM758), a novel "funny" If current channel (If channel) inhibitor, is being developed as a treatment for stable angina and atrial fibrillation. The hepatic uptake/excretion of YM758 was clarified using transporter-expressing mammalian cells and hepatocytes mainly in humans and partly in rats. cDNA-expressing human embryonic kidney 293 cells were used to determine that YM758 was greatly taken up via organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and slightly via human organic cation transporter (hOCT) 1/rat organic cation transporter 1 but not via OATP1B3. In addition, the uptake of 17beta-estradiol-d-17beta-glucuronide via OATP1B1 was inhibited in the presence of YM758, whereas that via OATP1B3 was not. In contrast, time-dependent uptake of YM758 into rat/human hepatocytes at 37 degrees C was observed, as was concentration-dependent uptake into human hepatocytes (K(m) value of 87.9 microM). This saturable uptake of YM758 into human hepatocytes was inhibited in the presence of quinidine (an inhibitor for OATP1B1) but not cimetidine (an inhibitor for the hOCT family). Moreover, the permeation clearance ratios for the transcellular transport of YM758 across multidrug resistance (MDR) 1-expressing LLC-PK1 cells were extensively higher than those across LLC-PK1 cells, which indicate that MDR1-mediated transport is one of the possible pathways through which YM758 may be excreted into the bile. These results indicate that YM758 is taken up into hepatocytes mainly via OATP1B1, but not via hOCT1, and is excreted into the bile via MDR1 in humans; however, passive diffusion or an unknown uptake/excretion mechanism could be at work in the hepatocytes. This study is the first to clarify the saturable hepatic uptake and/or the excretion mechanism by the If channel inhibitor.

PMID:Hepatic uptake and excretion of (-)-N-{2-[(R)-3-(6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-2-carbonyl)piperidino]ethyl}-4-fluorobenzamide (YM758), a novel if channel inhibitor, in rats and humans. 1833 79

(-)-N-{2-[(R)-3-(6,7-Dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-2-carbonyl)piperidino]ethyl}-4-fluorobenzamide (YM758) is a novel inhibitor of the "funny" If current channel (If channel) that is expressed in the sinus node of heart and is being developed as a treatment for stable angina and atrial fibrillation. Its metabolites were identified in human urine, plasma, and feces by radio-high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analyses after oral administration of [(14)C]YM758. 6,7-Dimethoxy-2-[(3R)-piperidin-3-ylcarbonyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (YM-252124), (5R)-5-[(6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)carbonyl]piperidin-2-one (YM-385459), 2-{[(3R)-1-{2-[(4-fluorobenzoyl)amino]ethyl}piperidin-3-yl]carbonyl}-7-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisonolin-6-yl beta-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid (AS2036329), and the unchanged drug were detected as major constituents in both urine and plasma, whereas N-(4-fluorobenzoyl)glycine (YM-385461) was detected in plasma, but not in urine. The renal and hepatic uptake transporters for these metabolites were investigated by assessing their inhibitory effect on uptake activity in human (h) organic cation transporter (OCT) 1-3/rat (r) Oct1-3, human organic anion transporter (OAT) 1/rOat1, hOAT3/rOat3, and organic anion-transporting protein 1B1/1B3-expressing HEK293 cells. IC(50) values of YM-252124 for 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium uptake via hOCT2 and rOct2 were 93.9 and 1700 microM, respectively, suggesting that this metabolite is secreted into urine via hOCT2/rOct2 and that the large difference in the inhibitory potentials between hOCT2 and rOct2 explains the species difference in the urinary excretion ratio of the radioactivity. The renal secretion of YM-385461, one derivative of p-aminohippuric acid, via hOAT1/rOat1, and hepatic uptake of YM-252124 via hOCT1/rOct1 was also expected. This kind of study was useful in investigating the relationship between the urinary/hepatic elimination and the transport activity for metabolites.
