Lidamidine (L) (1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-3-methyl-amidinourea) is a novel antidiarrheal agent in animals and man. Studies with /sup 14/C-(L) in rats and monkeys have shown that the drug is well absorbed and excreted in urine primarily as metabolites. Less than 10% of the dose was present as parent compound. HPLC was used for the isolation of metabolites from urine of rats and Cynomolgus monkeys given 10 mg/kg intragastric doses of /sup 14/C-(L). The major metabolite in rats was identified by /sup 1/H NMR and FAB mass spectroscopy as the sulfate cojugate of 3-hydroxylidamidine. Ring hydroxylation of lidamidine followed by Phase II conjugation was the major metabolic pathway in monkeys. Excretion of radioactivity in urine of human volunteers receiving 8 mg doses of /sup 14/C-(L) accounted for 98.2 +/- 0.5 (SD)% of the dose. In contrast to the rat and monkey, urinary elimination of (L) in man accounted for 35.2 +/- 5.3 (SD)% of the dose, and the major metabolite was characterized as N-desmethyllidamidine. Para-hydroxylation on the aromatic ring and/or glucuronidation were insignificant metabolic routes in all three species.
