RESUMEN
1. In vitro metabolism of Tanzisertib [(1S,4R)-4-(9-((S)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)-8-(2,4,6-trifluorophenylamino)-9H-purin-2-ylamino) cyclohexanol], a potent, selective c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor, was investigated in mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, monkey and human hepatocytes over 4 h. The extent of metabolism of [(14)C]tanzisertib was variable, with <10% metabolized in dog and human, <20% metabolized in rabbit and monkey and >75% metabolized in rat and mouse. Primary metabolic pathways in human and dog hepatocytes, were direct glucuronidation and oxidation of cyclohexanol to a keto metabolite, which was subsequently reduced to parent or cis-isomer, followed by glucuronidation. Rat and mouse produced oxidative metabolites and cis-isomer, including direct glucuronides and sulfates of tanzisertib and cis-isomer. 2. Enzymology of oxido-reductive pathways revealed that human aldo-keto reductases AKR1C1, 1C2, 1C3 and 1C4 were responsible for oxido-reduction of tanzisertib, CC-418424 and keto tanzisertib. Characterizations of enzyme kinetics revealed that AKR1C4 had a high affinity for reduction of keto tanzisertib to tanzisertib compared to other isoforms. These results demonstrate unique stereoselectivity of the reductive properties documented by human AKR1C enzymes for the same substrate. 3. Characterization of UGT isoenzymes in glucuronidation of tanzisertib and CC-418424 revealed that, tanzisertib glucuronide was catalyzed by: UGT1A1, 1A4, 1A10 and 2B4, while CC-418424 glucuronidation was catalyzed by UGT2B4 and 2B7.

1. The disposition of tanzisertib [(1S,4R)-4-(9-((S)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)-8-(2,4,6-trifluorophenylamino)-9H-purin-2-ylamino) cyclohexanol], a potent, orally active c-Jun amino-terminal kinase inhibitor intended for treatment of fibrotic diseases was studied in rats, dogs and humans following a single oral dose of [(14)C]tanzisertib (Independent Investigational Review Board Inc., Plantation, FL). 2. Administered dose was quantitatively recovered in all species and feces/bile was the major route of elimination. Tanzisertib was rapidly absorbed (Tmax: 1-2 h) across all species with unchanged tanzisertib representing >83% of plasma radioactivity in dogs and humans, whereas <34% was observed in rats. Variable amounts of unchanged tanzisertib (1.5-32% of dose) was recovered in urine/feces across all species, the highest in human feces. 3. Metabolic profiling revealed that tanzisertib was primarily metabolized via oxidation and conjugation pathways, but extensively metabolized in rats relative to dogs/humans. CC-418424 (S-cis isomer of tanzisertib) was the major plasma metabolite in rats (38.4-46.4% of plasma radioactivity), while the predominant plasma metabolite in humans and dogs was M18 (tanzisertib-/CC-418424 glucuronide), representing 7.7 and 3.2% of plasma radioactivity, respectively. Prevalent biliary metabolite in rats and dogs, M18 represented 16.8 and 17.1% of dose, respectively. 4. In vitro studies using liver subcellular fractions and expressed enzymes characterized involvement of novel human aldo-keto reductases for oxido-reduction and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases for conjugation pathways.
