    Notes: Summary The kinetics of alprenolol, in relation to its effect on blood pressure and plasma renin activity, have been studied in sixteen patients. A within-patient comparison was made between therapy for six weeks with placebo or alprenolol 200 mg thrice daily. Thirteen patients responded to alprenolol by a significant fall in blood pressure. In three other patients treatment did not lower blood pressure. In the group as a whole there was no significant correlation between the fall in systolic, diastolic or mean blood pressure, and the steady-state plasma alprenolol concentration, renin status, or degree of beta blockade. However, the thirteen responsive patients showed a significant relationship (p〈0.05 – 0.001) between the log mean steady-state plasma alprenolol concentration and the hypotensive response.

    Notes: Summary Mean steady-state plasma concentrations of alprenolol were studied in relationship to the degree of beta-blockade, in sixteen patients receiving 600 mg daily in divided doses. Steady-state alprenolol concentrations were determined from the area under the plasma concentration-time curve during one eight-hour dosage interval after treatment for six weeks. Beta-blockade during alprenolol treatment was assessed from the chronotropic response to intravenous isoprenaline compared to the response after six weeks of placebo therapy. Although there was interindividual variability in the mean steady-state alprenolol concentration (range 11 — 141 ng/ml), and in the degree of beta-blockade (7-fold), the correlation between the two variables was highly significant (r=0.80, p〈0.001). The prescribed dose of alprenolol (mg/kg) was not significantly correlated with the plasma level of alprenolol or the β-blockade. The chronotropic effects of isoprenaline during placebo and alprenolol were significantly interrelated (r=0.79, p〈0.001).
