Naldemedine
Identification
- Summary
Naldemedine is an opioid antagonist used to to treat opioid-induced constipation.
- Brand Names
- Symproic
- Generic Name
- Naldemedine
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB11691
- Background
Naldemedine is an opioid receptor antagonist Label. It is a modified form of Naltrexone to which a side chain has been added to increase molecular weight and polar surface area resulting in restricted transport across the blood brain barrier. Naldemedine was approved in 2017 in both the US and Japan for the treatment of Opioid-induced Constipation.

- Pharmacodynamics
Naldemedine is an opioid receptor antagonist with restricted movement across the blood brain barrier Label. This allows it to antagonize the periperal effects of opioid drugs such as constipation without interfering with the effects on the central nervous system.
- Mechanism of action
Naldemedine binds to and antagonizes mu-, delta-, and kappa-opioid receptors Label. The binding of opioid agonists to peripheral mu-opioid receptors slows the transit of feces through the intestine resulting in constipation. By antagonizing mu-opioid receptors, naldemedine inhibits this effect.
Target Actions Organism AMu-type opioid receptor antagonistHumans ADelta-type opioid receptor antagonistHumans AKappa-type opioid receptor antagonistHumans - Absorption
Tmax is 0.75 h Label. Administration with a high-fat meal reduces Cmax by 35% and increases Tmax to 2.5 h.
- Volume of distribution
The apparent volume of disribution during the terminal phase is 155 L Label
- Protein binding
Naldemedine is 93-94% bound to human plasma proteins Label.
- Metabolism
Naldemedine is mainly metabolized to nor-naldemedine by CYP3A Label. Some metabolism to naldemedine-3-glucuronide occurs via UGT1A3. Both metabolites are acitive but less potent than naldemedine. The relative exposures of these metabolites are 9-13% and <3% for nor-naldemedine and naldemedine-3-glucuronide respectively. Naldemedine is also cleaved in the intestine to form benzamidine and naldemedine carboxylic acid.
- Route of elimination
57% of naldemedine is excreted in the urine with 16-18% as the parent compound and 35% is excreted in the feces Label.
- Half-life
The terminal elimination half life is 11 h Label.
