Aim:
To study the excretion of (-)-clausenamide in rats.
Methods:
The urine, feces and bile were collected at predetermined time points after (-)-clausenamide was orally administrated to 6 rats (30 mg x kg(-1)). The concentrations of (-)-clausenamide and its metabolite 6-OH-(-)-clausnamide were determined by HPLC-MS/MS method using glipzide as the internal reference, and the accumulative excretion amount of (-)-clausenamide and 6-OH-(-)-clausenamide was calculated in the urine, feces and bile, separately.
Results:
(-)-Clausenamide was recovered mostly (44%) from feces in 112 hours, 7.1% was found from urine in 120 hours and 0.013% was detected from bile in 24 hours. The accumulative excretions of 6-OH-(-)-clausenamide were 0.92% , 0.46% and 0.0003% of the administered dose from feces, urine and bile, respectively.
Conclusion:
The major amount of (-)-clausenamide was recovered from feces after (-)-clausenamide was orally administrated to rats (30 mg kg(-1)).

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
