    Notes: Summary In sixteen patients with arterial hypertension and differing degrees of renal function the pharmacokinetics and haemodynamic effects of nitrendipine have been studied after treatment for 7 days. The AUC (0–24) and the elimination half-life of nitrendipine were significantly increased; the AUC (0–24) in patients with renal failure (median creatinine clearance 27.1 ml × min−1) was 196 ng × ml−1 × h compared to 97.8 ng × ml−1 × h in control subjects (median creatinine clearance 94.4 ml × min−1). The corresponding elimination half-lives were 13.5 h in renal failure and 4.4 h in the controls. The haemodynamic effects of nitrendipine were not enhanced in the patients.

    Notes: Abstract. Objective. Two substrates were coadministered in a “cocktail” approach to evaluate the contribution of renal failure to drug oxidation. Patients. Nineteen hypertensive patients, nine of them with chronic renal failure (CLCR 38.9 vs 102.3 ml⋅min−1⋅1.73 m−2), were investigated after peroral administration of a combination of antipyrine (500 mg, in capsules) and nifedipine (10 mg, in Oxcord capsules) in the morning after an overnight fast. Results. This “cocktail” approach made it possible to characterize in vivo the activities of different forms of cytochrome P450 in a single-study protocol using the total clearance of nifedipine and clearance for production of 3-hydroxymethylantipyrine (HMA), 4-hydroxyantipyrine (OHA) and norantipyrine (NORA). With this “cocktail” approach (antipyrine plus nifedipine), we can suggest a selective effect on the activities of cytochrome P450 forms associated with the formation of dehydronifedipine (P450 III A4) and of NORA in patients with mild renal failure under long-term antihypertensive therapy.

    Notes: Summary The effect of two different doses of nitrendipine on plasma digoxin levels, urinary recovery and systolic time intervals was investigated in 8 healthy volunteers. Following a loading dose, digoxin 0.25 mg b.d. p.o. was given alone for 2 weeks. Then 0.25 mg digoxin b.d. was administered for two 1-week periods combined with nitrendipine 10 mg or 20 mg once daily. The study was completed with another digoxin monotherapy phase lasting 7 days. Nitrendipine 20 mg daily led to a significant increase in plasma digoxin levels and in its area under the plasma concentration-time curve AUC (0–12) compared to digoxin monotherapy. The AUC (0–12) was 9.7 ng ml−1h when digoxin alone was given and 11.2 ng ml−1h on co-administration of the calcium antagonist. Urinary recovery and renal clearance of digoxin were slightly but not significantly increased by nitrendipine. Nitrendipine 10 mg once daily caused a small, insignificant tendency to elevate the plasma digoxin level. Nitrendipine co-administration (10 and 20 mg once daily) did not significantly alter systolic time intervals, as non-invasively measured haemodynamic parameters, compared to digoxin treatment alone. Thus, nitrendipine 20 mg daily caused a significant increase in plasma digoxin concentrations and in its AUC, which would rarely be of clinical relevance.

    Notes: Abstract We studied the use of atrioventricular (AV) conduction time to assess the therapeutic equivalence of two diltiazem formulations in 20 volunteers in a double-blind, cross-over trial. ECG recording was carried out before and at several intervals after drug administration, and prolongation of the PQ interval (ΔPQ) was taken as a pharmacodynamic response. In addition, diltiazem plasma concentrations were determined in 8 subjects. The effect of diltiazem increased proportionally with the plasma concentration and could be detected up to 10 h after administration. The area under the effect-time curve (AUEC0–10), the peak effect (Emax), and the effect mean residence time (MRTE) showed significant differences. In contrast to the pharmacodynamics, the pharmacokinetic profiles of diltiazem do not vary to the same extent. We conclude that the formulations are therapeutically different. Furthermore, at the administered dose, ΔPQ appears to be a sensitive measure for assessing the electrophysiological properties of diltiazem.

    Notes: Summary Twenty one patients with liver disease (cirrhosis 11, chronic hepatitis 5 and acute hepatitis 5) and 6 healthy volunteers were given a single i.v. dose of nitrendipine 5 mg. Afterwords nitrendipine 20 mg once daily were administered orally for seven days. With the intravenous injection a significant increase in the AUC and elimination half-life of nitrendipine was found in patients with cirrhosis as compared to the normal volunteers. After chronic oral dosing, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve, AUC (0–24), was 94.5 ng ml−1 h and the plasma clearance CL was 1380.6 ml/min in the healthy controls; in patients with cirrhosis the AUC (0–24) h was significantly greater at 309.4 ng ml−1 h and CL had fallen to 686.6 ml/min. Considerable accumulation of nitrendipine was also found in the patients with chronic hepatitis. Nitrendipine could not be detected in urine from any of the subjects. Blood pressure and heart rate were not significantly influenced by the treatment in the various groups investigated. Antipyrine clearance in the patients with cirrhosis was correlated with the nitrendipine plasma clearance. Thus, accumulation of nitrendipine has been demonstrated in the patients with cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis.
