Abstract
An ultra-high performance liquid chromatographic method has been utilized to obtain metabolic profiles of cinitapride with liver microsomes of humans and various mammal species such as rats, mice, mini pigs, dogs, and monkeys. Metabolites have been generated by incubation of cinitapride in the presence of microsomes using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate as a cofactor. Incubation times from 15 to 60 min have been assayed. Cinitapride and its metabolites have been separated by reversed-phase C18 mode using ammonium formate aqueous solution (pH 6.5) and acetonitrile as the components of the mobile phase. Concentrations of metabolites in the incubated samples have resulted in an excellent source of multivariate data to be used to extract metabolic information. Statistic parameters and principal component analysis have been used to compare the in vitro metabolism of humans with the other species.
