The metabolism of 2-(3-pyridyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxamides YM4614) and YM2645) was investigated, and their metabolites were compared with separately synthesized materials by measuring 1H-NMR spectra, mass spectra, and HPLC retention times, and evaluated for platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonistic activity. YM461 was metabolized by two different metabolic pathways (cleavage of the thiazolidine ring and oxidation of the benzyl position), whereas YM264 was metabolized by three metabolic pathways. The minor metabolite M7 from YM264 possessed potent PAF antagonistic activity, as strong as YM264 and this existed as an active metabolite. From pharmacokinetics studies, YM264 was almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but readily metabolized in rats. In dogs, pharmacokinetic parameters of YM264 were significantly improved compared to those in rats, and YM264 tended to show better pharmacokinetics than YM461 due to an extension of the half-life period.
