摘要Simnotrelvir(SIM0417),an inhibitor of the 3CL protease of SARS-CoV-2,has been identified as a CYP3A sensitive substrate.This study investigated the pharmacokinetics,metabolism,and mass balance of simnotrelvir following a single oral dose of 750 mg in six healthy Chinese male subjects,co-administered with four doses of 100 mg ritonavir.Analysis using 19F qNMR combined with LC-MS/MS showed that the parent drug M0 constituted over 90％of the drug-related components in plasma.Of the administered dose,55.4％(54.3％of M0)was recovered in urine,while 36.7％(4.57％of M0)was excreted in feces.UPLC/Q-TOF MS was used to identify metabolites in human plasma,urine and feces.Notably,oxidative metabolites catalyzed by CYP3A were scarcely detected in these matrixes.The amide hydrolyzed metabolite M9 and the cyano hydrolyzed metabolite M10 were recognized as the predominant metabolites,with the main excretion being through feces(19.0％and 12.7％of the administered dose,respectively).In vitro experiments indicated that M10 is primarily formed in the duodenum and jejunum,with further metabolism to M9 by microbiota in the large intestine.Overall,the co-administration of simnotrelvir with ritonavir led to predominant metabolism by intestinal enzymes or microbiota,resulting in hydrolyzed metabolites.These findings highlight the critical role of intestinal metabolism in the pharmacokinetics of simnotrelvir and emphasize the need to consider interactions with antibiotics and individual differences of intestinal microbiota.
