Abstract Sulfadimethoxine is metabolized byO-dealkylation, N4-acetylation and N1-glucuronidation. In man, only N1-glucuronidation and N4-acetylation takes place, leading to the final double conjugate N4-acetylsulfadimethoxine-N1-glucuronide. The N1-glucuronides are directly measured by high pressure liquid chromatography. When N4-acetylsulfadimethoxine is administered as parent drug, 30% of the dose is N1-glucuronidated and excreted. Fast acetylators show a shorter half-life for sulfadimethoxine than slow acetylators (27.8±4.2 h versus 36.3±5.4 h; P=0.013), similarly the half-life of the N4-acetyl conjugate is also shorter in fast acetylators (41.3±5.2 h versus 53.5±8.5 h, P=0.036). No measurable plasma concentrations of the N1-glucuronides from sulfadimethoxine are found in plasma. N1-glucuronidation results in a 75% decrease in protein binding of sulfadimethoxine. N4-acetylsulfadimethoxine and its N1-glucuronide showed the same high protein binding of 99%. Approximately 50–60% of the oral dose of sulfadimethoxine is excreted in the urine, leaving 40–50% for excretion into bile and faeces.
