Abstract MAK683 ( N -((5-fluoro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-4-yl)methyl)-8-(2-methylpyridin-3-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3- c ]pyrimidin-5-amine) is a potent and orally bioavailable EED inhibitor for the potential treatment in oncology. Pharmacokinetics (PK) in preclinical species are characterised by low to moderate plasma clearances, high oral exposure, and moderate to high oral bioavailability at the dose of 1–2 mg/kg. A species comparison of the metabolic pathways of MAK683 has been made using [ 14 C]MAK683 incubations with liver microsomes and hepatocytes from rat, dog, cynomolgus monkey, and human. Overall, the in vitro hepatic metabolism pathway of MAK683 in all five species was very complex. A total of 60 metabolites with 19 metabolites >1.5% of the total integrated area in the radiochromatogram of at least one species were identified in five species (rat, mouse, dog, monkey, and human). The primary in vitro hepatic oxidative metabolism pathway identified in humans involved 2-hydroxylation of the dihydrofuran ring to form alcohol (M28), which was in a chemical equilibrium favouring the formation of its aldehyde form. The aldehyde was then oxidised to the carboxylic acid metabolite (M26) or reduced to the O -hydroxyethylphenol (M29). N-dealkylation (M1), 3-hydroxylation of the dihydrofuran ring (M27), N-oxidation of the pyridine moiety (M53), and sulphate conjugation of M28 to form M19 were also important biotransformation pathways in human hepatocytes. The above major human hepatic metabolic pathways were also observed across the animal species (rat, mouse, dog, and monkey) mostly providing precursors for the formation of other metabolites via further oxygenation, glucuronidation, and sulphation pathways. No human-specific metabolites were observed. In addition, in vivo biotransformation was also conducted in bile-duct cannulated (BDC) rat. The metabolism in BDC rat was similar to those observed the in vitro hepatocytes.
