    Notes: Summary The relationship between the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of enoximone, a new positive inotropic agent, was investigated in 6 healthy men. The volunteers received single oral and i.v. doses of 3 and 1 mg/kg, respectively, and placebo in a double-blind cross-over trial. Plasma concentrations of enoximone and its sulphoxide metabolite, effects on the corrected electromechanical systole (QS2c), the impedance cardiogram (dZ/dt)/RZ index, blood pressure and heart rate were determined over an 8-h period. Peak effects on QS2c and the (dZ/dt)/RZ index were obtained after approximately 1 h. During the first hour, the cardiac effects lagged behind the high plasma concentrations. Thereafter, the effects on QS2c were closely correlated with the plasma concentrations both of enoximone and its sulphoxide derivative (r≥0.90). The concentration-effect curves of both substances were parallel and were independent of the route of administration. The inotropic activity was not related to the drug level in hypothetical peripheral compartments. The results suggest that determination of plasma enoximone 1 h after administration and thereafter may be useful in assessing the haemodynamic activity of the drug. Should this observation also be present in a clinical situation, plasma enoximone measurements might be a valuable tool in management of patients suffering from heart failure.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of bendroflumethiazide (BFT) was investigated following the oral administration of 10 mg to 3 healthy volunteers. Each subject participated twice in the study. BFT was determined in plasma and cantharides blister fluid from 1/2 to 30 h post administration. Blister fluid was obtained from blisters 10–22 h old. Plasma levels were fitted to a tri-exponential equation and the concentration of the drug in the peripheral compartment was calculated from the microscopic rate constants. In 5 of 6 cases investigated, cantharides blister fluid levels paralleled the concentration of the drug in the peripheral compartment. The mean blister fluid levels exceeded the calculated concentration in Compartment 2 1.46 fold. In one case, the blister fluid level paralleled the plasma level. This subject clearly differed from the others as more than 10 h were required for blister formation in her. The results suggest that following the administration of BFT, cantharides blister fluid behaves as part of the peripheral compartment. The possible value of studying blister fluid levels in pharmacokinetic investigations is discussed.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) was investigated in 23 subjects with normal renal function or widely varying degrees of renal failure. The half-life of elimination increased from 6.4 h in subjects with normal renal function to 11.5 h in patients with mild renal impairment (endogenous creatinine clearance between 30 and 90 ml/min), and to 20.7 h in patients with an endogenous creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min. The cumulative urinary excretion and the renal HCT clearance were correspondingly reduced in patients with impaired kidney function. In normal subjects HCT was mainly excreted by tubular secretion, but as renal HCT clearance in patients with renal impairment did not differ significantly from endogenous creatinine clearance, it was concluded that the secretory mechanism is most markedly impaired. In patients with an endogenous creatinine clearance of 30 to 90 ml/min, the dosage of HCT should be reduced to 1/2 and in patients with a endogenous creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min to 1/4 of the normal daily dose to avoid dose dependant side-effects.

    Notes: Summary The plasma levels and urinary excretion of carteolol and its main metabolites 8-hydroxycarteolol and carteolol glucuronide were investigated in 6 healthy subjects and 9 patients with varying degrees of renal impairment following a single oral dose of 30 mg carteolol hydrochloride. In healthy subjects the half-life of carteolol was 7.1 h. 63% of the administered dose was recovered unchanged in urine, and in all 84% was excreted by the kidneys. The renal clearance of carteolol was 255 ml/min. In chronic renal failure (CRF) the terminal half-life was increased to a maximum of 41 h. Both the elimination rate constant and renal clearance were closely related to the creatinine clearance. In CRF the recovery of carteolol and its metabolites from urine was considerably reduced, suggesting that another pathway of drug elimination becomes relevant in renal disease. To avoid an increase in side-effects due to drug accumulation, the dosage of carteolol should be adjusted in relation to the reduction in creatinine clearance. The maintenance dose should be reduced to a half in patients with a creatinine clearance below 40 ml/min and above 10 ml/min. In those with a creatinine clearance of 10 ml/min or less, the dose should be reduced to 1/4.

    Notes: Summary Bendroflumethiazide (Bft) was administered to 6 healthy subjects at 3 different dose levels (2.5, 5 and 10 mg) in a cross-over design, either as capsules (2.5 mg) or as tablets (5 mg). Its pharmacokinetics were evaluated then and following administration of a fixed combination of Bft with propranolol and hydralazine to a further 7 volunteers. Plasma and urinary concentrations of Bft were determined by a new fluorimetric — thin-layer chromotography procedure. Peak plasma levels occurred after 2–3 h and averaged 15, 27 and 45 µg/l in the three dose groups. Areas under the plasma concentration — time curves (AUC0→12), which were 75, 147 and 250 µg l−1 h respectively, and cumulative urinary recovery (20%) were independent of the dose administered and the type of formulation. Thus Bft kinetics proved to be linear within the dose range evaluated. The plasma clearance was calculated to be 505 ml/min, renal clearance 108 ml/min and nonrenal clearance 396 ml/min. Bioavailability of Bft was not altered following administration of the fixed combination. The amount of propranolol found in the circulation did not change, whereas that of hydralazine (determined as apparent hydralazine) increased by 59% when the fixed combination was administered.

    Notes: Summary Cefodizime pharmacokinetics was investigated, evaluating drug concentrations in serum, skin suction blister fluid (SBF), saliva and urine in six healthy male subjects who were administered a 1-g dose intravenously. Serum levels in five subjects can be described according to a two-compartment open model; terminal half-life is 181±14 min. Volume of distribution (Vdβ) amounts to 15.3±1.61, serum clearance to 59±6 ml/min, renal clearance to 33±3 ml/min. Of the administered dose, 54% is renally excreted unchanged within 27 h. Unbound drug fraction in serum is 19.0% and in SBF 38.4%. Thus renal clearance of free cefodizime amounts to 172 ml/min, Vdss to 68.91 (free drug). Whereas cefodizime has not been detected in saliva samples, SBF concentration 3–9 h post administration parallel serum levels, amounting to 40% of the respective serum concentration. At 9 h, unbound cefodizime concentrations in SBF amount to 1.4±0.4 µg/ml, this value being well above the MIC90% values of many clinically relevant bacteria.

    Notes: Summary In 7 healthy subjects (3 males and 4 females), the kinetics of nadolol was investigated after oral doses of 60 and 120 mg. The t1/2 was 14.0±1.8 h. The peak plasma level was doubled on doubling the dose (from 69±15 to 132±27 ng/ml, respectively) and the urinary excretion (13.5%) rose similarly. The half-life of elimination was longer at night than in the day, probably because of the slower nocturnal flow of urine.

    Notes: Summary Griseofulvin and 6-demethylgriseofulvin (6-DMG) in plasma, suction blister fluid (SBF) and cantharides blister fluid (CBF) and urinary excretion of 6-DMG, were evaluated following administration of single oral doses of an ultramicrosize and a microsize formulation of griseofulvin to 6 healthy volunteers. The bioavailability of griseofulvin was higher following the ultramicrosize formulation when 64% of the dose was recovered (via metabolites) versus 52% after the microsize preparation. Penetration into skin blister fluid was delayed as compared to plasma levels; the peak concentration in plasma was observed at 3–4 h, whereas griseofulvin in CBF increased up to 6 h. The terminal half-live was calculated from plasma levels to 9.3 h. The half-lives calculated from SBF and CBF concentrations were 9.2 and 9.8 h, respectively, (n=5). In plasma 84% of griseofulvin was bound to proteins, predominantly to albumin; binding in SBF and CBF was 72 and 82%, respectively. 3 h after drug administration the free concentration in plasma significantly exceeded the free concentrations in SBF and CBF. Distribution equilibrium between plasma and skin blister fluid was observed after 27 h. Thus, during chronic administration, the plasma griseofulvin level should reflect its concentration in the target organ.

    Notes: Summary Griseofulvin was administered orally to 6 healthy volunteers for 6 days. The subjects received 500 mg of a microsize formulation and 330 mg of an ultramicrosize formulation, according to a cross-over design. The drug was determined in plasma, suction blister fluid (SBF) and cantharides blister fluid (CBF) following the last dose. Urinary excretion of the main metabolites 6-demethylgriseofulvin (6-DMG) and its glucuronic acid conjugate was also measured. The pharmacokinetic parameters were compared with those obtained from a recent single dose experiment. On repeated administration, the bioavailability of griseofulvin was significantly lower from the microsize formulation; the urinary recovery of total 6-DMG was 33.8% versus 53.6% on administration of the ultramicrosize material. Bioavailability was reduced as compared to ingestion of a single dose. The reduction was more prominent following the microsize (36%) than the ultramicrosize (17%) formulation. Penetration into skin blister fluid was not altered as compared to the single dose experiment. Relative areas under the blister fluid-time curves amounted to 51% (SBF) and 80% (CBF) of the area under the plasma level-time curve. The concentration of unbound griseofulvin in these body fluids was identical throughout the entire dosage interval. Unbound griseofulvin levels were low in comparison with the minimum inhibitory concentrations for strains of trichophyton and microsporum.
