▧ Absorption :
Brasofensine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration in rats and monkeys, with peak plasma concentrations occurring 0.5-1 hr, but 3-8 hr for brasofensine in humans.
▧ Metabolism :
Brasofensine undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism following oral administration in humans, monkeys, and rats. It primarily underwent O- and N-demethylation and isomerization. Some of the desmethyl metabolites were further converted to glucuronides. These primary metabolites and glucuronides of demethyl brasofensine (M1 and M2) were major circulating metabolites in humans, and were also observed in rat and monkey plasma.
▧ Half Life :
Plasma terminal elimination half-lives were ~2 hr in rats, ~4 hr in monkeys, but ~24 hr in humans.
