Product Description
Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide (SCH 488128) is a trace metabolite detected in dog and human plasma samples after oral administration of Ezetimibe.
Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide (SCH 488128) is the active phase II glucuronide metabolite of ezetimibe, a cholesterol absorption inhibitor used to treat hyperlipidemia. It is formed through glucuronidation of ezetimibe primarily in the liver and intestine and is primarily responsible for ezetimibe's therapeutic effects, contributing to its long half-life.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide targets the Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) transporter in the small intestine. By selectively inhibiting this transporter, it blocks dietary and biliary cholesterol uptake without affecting the absorption of triglycerides or fat-soluble vitamins. This action reduces systemic cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide retains potent cholesterol absorption inhibitory activity by targeting the NPC1L1 transporter. Studies demonstrate that this metabolite circulates systemically and is primarily responsible for the therapeutic effects of ezetimibe. It is used in research to study cholesterol metabolism and the mechanisms of cholesterol absorption inhibition.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide is detected in dog and human plasma after oral administration of ezetimibe. It circulates systemically and contributes significantly to the drug's long half-life and cholesterol-lowering efficacy. The metabolite is a key molecule in cardiovascular and lipid metabolism research.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide typically involve studying its interaction with the NPC1L1 transporter using cell-based or membrane-based binding assays. Cholesterol uptake inhibition is measured in cultured intestinal cells (e.g., Caco-2) treated with the compound at concentrations ranging from 0.1-10 µM. The compound's activity is quantified by measuring the uptake of radiolabeled or fluorescent cholesterol analogs.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell assays, intestinal epithelial cells (e.g., Caco-2) are cultured and treated with Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide at various concentrations. Cholesterol uptake is measured using labeled cholesterol or fluorescent cholesterol analogs. The compound's inhibitory effect on NPC1L1-mediated cholesterol transport is quantified. Cell viability is assessed to ensure the observed effects are not due to cytotoxicity.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide is typically administered to rodents or dogs via oral gavage as part of ezetimibe pharmacokinetic studies. Blood samples are collected at various time points, and plasma concentrations of the metabolite are quantified by LC-MS/MS. The compound's systemic exposure, half-life, and contribution to cholesterol-lowering efficacy are evaluated.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide (MW 585.55) has the molecular formula C30H29F2NO9. It is soluble in water and methanol with purity typically ≥95%. As a phase II glucuronide metabolite, it is more hydrophilic than the parent drug, facilitating systemic circulation and renal elimination. It is stable under recommended storage conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Ezetimibe hydroxy glucuronide is for research use only. No specific toxicity data are available for this metabolite. As the active metabolite of the approved drug ezetimibe, its safety profile is expected to be consistent with that of the parent compound at therapeutic exposures. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed.
