Biotransformation of Isosorbide Dinitrate in Humans

An oral dose of 14C-isosorbide dinitrate was rapidly absorbed and eliminated by human subjects. Up to 99% was excreted in the urine. The drug was completely biotransformed, nearly 50% to the principal metabolite, an isosorbide conjugate, presumably with glucuronic acid. Up to 13% was excreted as fre...

Zusammenfassung:An oral dose of 14C-isosorbide dinitrate was rapidly absorbed and eliminated by human subjects. Up to 99% was excreted in the urine. The drug was completely biotransformed, nearly 50% to the principal metabolite, an isosorbide conjugate, presumably with glucuronic acid. Up to 13% was excreted as free and conjugated 5-isosorbide mononitrate, and 1% was excreted as the free 2-isosorbide mononitrate only. D-Sorbitol possibly accounted for a further 18% of the radioactivity; an unknown metabolite, less polar than isosorbide, accounted for 6%.
