Suction
Ittopride hydrochloride is rapidly and almost completely absorbed into the digestive tract. Its relative bioavailability is 60%, which is associated with metabolism during the first passage through the liver. Food does not affect bioavailability.
The maximum concentration in plasma (CmOh) 0.28 μg / ml is achieved after 0.5-0.75 hours after administration of 50 mg of tautoprid hydrochloride.
With the repeated administration of tenthpride hydrochloride inside at a dose of 50-200 mg three times a day for 7 days, the pharmacokinetics of the drug and its metabolites was linear, and the cumulation was minimal.
Distribution
Itopride hydrochloride 96% binds to plasma proteins, mainly with albumin. The binding to the alpha1-acid glycoprotein is less than 15% of the total binding.
Ittopride is actively distributed into tissues (volume distribution 6.1 l / kg) and is found in high concentrations in the kidneys, small intestine, liver, adrenal and stomach. Penetration into the brain and spinal cord is minimal. Itopride penetrates into breast milk.
Metabolism
Itopride is subject to active biotransformation in the liver in humans. Three metabolites have been identified, only one of which exhibits little activity, which has no pharmacological significance (approximately 2-3% of that of the taredrop). The primary metabolite in humans is Noxide, which is formed as a result of oxidation of the quaternary amino-Ndimethyl group. Itopride metabolized by flavine-dependent monooxygenase (FMO3). Number and effectiveness of isoenzymes FMO in humans can differ depending on genetic polymorphism, which in rare cases leads to the development of an autosomal recessive state known as trimethylaminuria (the "fish smell" syndrome). In patients with trimethylaminuria, the half-elimination period of tytopride is increased.
According to pharmacokinetic studies in vivo, itopride has no inhibitory or inducing action on CYP2C19 and CYP2E1. The therapy with asperipedum does not affect CYP or the activity of uridine diphosphate glucuronisyl transferase.
Excretion
Itopride hydrochloride and its metabolites are excreted mainly with urine.Renal excretion of tesentropium and its Noxide after a single dose of the drug inside at therapeutic doses in healthy people was 3.7 and 75.4%, respectively. The terminal half-elimination period of tytopride hydrochloride is about 6 hours.
