Following oral administration the a-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose (O-4,6-dideoxy-4-[[(1S,4R,5S,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl) -2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]-a-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-O-a-D-glu copyranosyl-(1----4)-D-glucopyranose, Bay g 5421) is degraded by digestive enzymes and/or intestinal microorganism. The effect of anaerobic intestinal bacteria can be studied in an in vitro model which involves the incubation of acarbose with human or animal intestinal flora. Acarbose and nine biotransformation products can be isolated from the incubation mixture. These products were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry as so-called component 2 (loss of the terminal glucose), component 1 (loss of both glucose rings), hexose homologues of acarbose and component 2, methyl homologues of acarbose, butyric acid ester of component 2, basic disaccharide (loss of the cyclitol ring of component 2), delta-aminovaleric acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid. Following oral administration of [14C]-acarbose to healthy volunteers, 35% of the radioactivity was excreted in the form of at least 13 metabolites in the urine. Three of the metabolites were isolated by Craig countercurrent distribution and ion-pair HPLC and characterized by virtue of their nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra as derivatives of 4-methylpyrogallol. Two were shown to be monomethylether-monosulphates while the third was a monosulphate-monoglucuronide. The synthesis of ten reference substances and the comparison of HPLC and UV data clearly indicated that the majority of the non-isolated metabolites were also 4-methylpyrogallol derivatives. The peculiarities of the nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra of this type of compound are discussed.
