Abstract:

The types of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes responsible for the in-vivo metabolism of ondansetron in rats have not been reported. In this study, ondansetron at a dose of 8 mg kg⁻¹ was administered intravenously to rats pretreated with various inducers of CYP isozymes, such as 3-methylcholanthrene, orphenadrine citrate, isoniazid and dexamethasone phosphate (the main inducers of CYP1A1/2, 2B1/2, 2E1 and 3A1/2 in rats, respectively), and inhibitors, such as SKF-525A (a non-specific inhibitor of CYP isozymes), sulfaphenazole, quinine hydrochloride and troleandomycin (the main inhibitors of CYP2C6, 2D subfamily and 3A1/2 in rats, respectively). In rats pretreated with quinine hydrochloride and troleandomycin, the time-averaged non-renal clearance of ondansetron was significantly slower (48.9 and 13.2% decrease, respectively) than that in control rats. In rats pretreated with dexamethasone phosphate, the time-averaged non-renal clearance was significantly faster (18.2% increase) than that in control rats. The results suggest that ondansetron is primarily metabolized via the CYP2D subfamily and 3A1/2 in rats.
