Introduction<br />

Z-<strong>338</strong> is a novel gastroprokinetic agent, which is<br />

synthesized by Zeria Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (Fig. 1).<br />

Z-<strong>338</strong> is under development for the treatment of<br />

functional dyspepsia, and is now in clinical trials.<br />

The purpose of the study was to evaluate possible<br />

involvement of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme(s) and<br />

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzyme(s)<br />

responsible for metabolizing Z-<strong>338</strong>.<br />

Potential interactions of Z-<strong>338</strong> with CYP enzymes were<br />

also investigated, and we compared its inhibitory<br />

potentials with cisapride and Z-<strong>338</strong> analog, ID951551.
