We recently demonstrated that nemorubicin (MMDX), an investigational antitumor drug, is converted to an active metabolite, PNU-159682, by human liver cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. The objectives of this study were: (1) to investigate MMDX metabolism by liver microsomes from laboratory animals (mice, rats, and dogs of both sexes) to ascertain whether PNU-159682 is also produced in these species, and to identify the CYP form(s) responsible for its formation; (2) to compare the animal metabolism of MMDX with that by human liver microsomes (HLMs), in order to determine which animal species is closest to human beings; (3) to explore whether differences in PNU-159682 formation are responsible for previously reported species- and sex-related differences in MMDX host toxicity. The animal metabolism of MMDX proved to be qualitatively similar to that observed with HLMs since, in all tested species, MMDX was mainly converted to PNU-159682 by a single CYP3A form. However, there were marked quantitative inter- and intra-species differences in kinetic parameters. The mouse and the male rat exhibited Vmax and intrinsic metabolic clearance (CLint) values closest to those of human beings, suggesting that these species are the most suitable animal models to investigate MMDX biotransformation. A close inverse correlation was found between MMDX CLint and previously reported values of MMDX LD50 for animals of the species, sex and strain tested here, indicating that differences in the in vivo toxicity of MMDX are most probably due to sex- and species-related differences in the extent of PNU-159682 formation.

Paragraph 0102; 0120-0124, (2020/02/29)
The invention provides a method for preparing a drug toxin PNU-159682 (morpholinyl anthracycline derivative) of an antibody conjugated drug, and an intermediate involved in the preparation method. According to the preparation method, by introducing a protective group and using an easily-amplified reagent, the stability, the practicability and the amplifiability of the process are improved; and with the preparation method, the risk and the operation difficulty during large-scale production are reduced, and the preparation production operation is simple and convenient.
