    Notes: Abstract To prevent drug accumulation and adverse effects the dose of hydrophilic angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, e. g. lisinopril, must be reduced in patients with renal failure. To obtain a rational basis for dose recommendations, we undertook a prospective clinical trial. After 15 days of lisinopril treatment pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were determined in patients with advanced renal failure (n=8; endogenous creatinine clearance [CLCR]: 18 ml·min−1·1.73m−2) and in healthy subjects with normal renal function (n=16; CLCR: 107 ml·min−1·1.73m−2). The volunteers received 10 mg lisinopril once daily, the daily dose in patients (1.1–2.2 mg) was adjusted to the individual CLCR according to the method of Dettli [13]. After 15 days of lisinopril treatment the mean maximal serum concentration (C max) in patients was lower than in volunteers (30.7 vs 40.7 ng·ml−1, while the mean area under the concentration-time curve (AUC 0–24 h) was higher (525 vs 473 ng·h−1·ml−1). ACE activity on day 15 was almost completely inhibited in both groups. Plasma renin activity, angiotensin I and angiotensin II levels documented marked inhibition of converting enzyme in volunteers and patients. Furthermore, average mean arterial blood pressure in patients decreased by 5 mmHg and proteinuria from 3.9–2.7 g per 24 h after 15 days of treatment with the reduced dose of lisinopril. Adjustment of the dose of lisinopril prevents significant accumulation of the drug in patients with advanced renal failure during chronic therapy. Mean serum levels did not exceed this in subjects with normal renal function receiving a standard dose. Despite substantial dose reduction, blood pressure and proteinuria decreases were observed.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of the ß1-selective adrenergic antagonist (R,S)-celiprolol has been studied after oral administration of 200 mg celiprolol-HCl to 8 healthy volunteers and 8 patients with various degrees of impaired renal function. No significant difference was found between the two enantiomers in the control group or in the patients. In healthy volunteers an average of 9.8% of the dose of R-(+)-celiprolol and 9.5% of S-(-)-celiprolol was recovered unchanged in the urine. Renal impairment reduced the urinary excretion of both enantiomers to the same extent according to the severity of the uraemia, producing higher AUCs. Nevertheless, the terminal half-lives of the R- and S-enantiomers were not significantly different between the groups. Dosage reduction in patients with renal impairment does not seem to be necessary.

    Notes: Summary In a randomized, cross-over, single-dose study of 19 elderly hypertensive patients (aged 62–84 y, SBP 〉 160 mm Hg, DBP 〉 100 mm Hg, creatinine clearance 11–93 ml·min−1) we have studied the pharmacokinetics of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor enalapril after a single oral dose of either 10 mg enalapril or 10 mg enalapril + 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide. The pharmacokinetics of enalapril were unaffected by hydrochlorothiazide, but there was a significant reduction in renal clearance and a significant increase in AUC(0–24 h) of enalaprilat after hydrochlorothiazide, resulting in higher serum concentrations of the active drug. This was independent of the individual degree of renal impairment and might be due either to an initial reduction of GFR by hydrochlorothiazide or to interference with the tubular secretion of enalaprilat. The relationships between serum enalaprilat and serum ACE activity were similar after both treatments, both consistent with a value for Ki of enalaprilat of about 0.1 nmol·l−1. Thus, serum ACE activity was not affected by hydrochlorothiazide but completely reflected the pharmacokinetics of enalaprilat in both treatments.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of S-(+)- and R-(−)-prenylamine was studied in eight healthy volunteers given single and repeated oral doses of the racemic drug. Distinct differences in various pharmacokinetic parameters were found between the S- and R-enantiomer. The maximum plasma concentrations and AUCs of the R-enantiomer exceeded those of the S-enantiomer five-fold; the apparent oral clearance of the S-form was five-times and the renal clearance three-times higher than of the R-form. Acid catalyzed hydrolysis of urine samples released more S-prenylamine, indicating stereoselective glucuronidation of unchanged prenylamine. Plasma protein binding also differed between the two enantiomers, generally with a higher unbound fraction of the S-form, whereas analysis of the bound fractions showed that prenylamine was bound to different plasma proteins with inverse stereoselectivity.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of 20 mg torasemide i.v. has been studied in 7 healthy controls and 9 patients with varying degrees of renal impairment. Torasemide had a t1/2 of about 4 h which was independent of kidney function, as the nonrenal clearance of torasemide was 3-times greater than its renal clearance. The active metabolite M1 and the main metabolite M5 were accumulated in chronic renal failure. In contrast to liver function, therefore, kidney failure does not have an important effect on the pharmacokinetics of torasemide.
