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.
