Metabolism and disposition of lesinurad, a uric acid reabsorption inhibitor, in humans

The objectives of this study were to determine the absolute bioavailability of lesinurad and to characterized its disposition in humans.The oral bioavailability assessment was performed using a clinical design of simultaneous dosing of a therapeutic oral dose of lesinurad with an intravenous infusion of [14C]lesinurad microdose. The bioavailability of lesinurad was determined to be 100%.The disposition of lesinurad in humans involves hepatic oxidation and renal elimination following administration of oral [14C]lesinurad dose.Metabolism of lesinurad occurred post-systemically with low circulating levels of metabolites 14C]lesinurad microdose.
