Metabolism of the dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (R,S)-2-[(2-aminoethoxy)methyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5 methoxycarbonyl-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (amlodipine) has been studied in animals and man using 14C-labelled drug. The metabolite patterns are complex; 18 metabolites have been isolated from rat, dog and human urine. Based on chromatographic and mass-spectral evidence, structures have been proposed for the main metabolites and confirmed by synthesis of unambiguous reference compounds.
