    Notes: Summary Cotinine, the main metabolite of nicotine, was administered intravenously to healthy male non-smoking volunteers in doses of 5, 10 and 20 mg, and orally in doses of 10 and 20 mg. Intravenous administration was characterized by a dose-independent half-life of 12.2 h, mean residence time of 15.9 h, total clearance of 3.64 l h−1 and a volume of distribution of 56.5 l. Renal clearance was 0.46 l h−1 and approximately 12.0% of the dose was excreted unchanged in the urine. The mean absorption time after oral dosing ranged between 1 and 3 h, the peak concentration was reached within 45 min and the mean elimination half-lives were 12.9 and 11.7 h, respectively, after the 10 and 20 mg doses. Systemic bioavailability ranged between 0.84 and 1.11 following 10 mg and between 0.97 and 1.03 following the 20 mg dose. Mean urinary recovery and renal clearance were almost identical with the values after iv administration.

    Notes: Abstract A four-period, two-panel, single-rising-dose study (0.1–100 mg) was conducted in healthy males to investigate the pharmacodynamics, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of MK-0434, a steroid 5α-reductase inhibitor. MK-0434 was associated with a significant reduction in dihydrotestosterone, which was maximal at 24 h and maintained through 48 h post treatment. The maximum reduction was approximately 50 % and occurred at all doses above 5 mg (10, 25, 50 and 100 mg). MK-0434 appeared to have no effect on serum testosterone at these single doses. Rising single doses of MK-0434 were associated with an increase in Cmax and AUC but the changes were less than proportional to dose, most likely due to nonlinear absorption. MK-0434 given in single doses up to 100 mg was without significant adverse effects in healthy male volunteers. In summary, MK-0434 is a well-tolerated, potent, orally active 5α-reductase inhibitor in man.

    Notes: Summary The effect of treatment with diflunisal on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of indomethacin has been studied in 16 healthy volunteers. The steady-state plasma concentration and AUC of indomethacin were significantly increased two- to threefold during treatment with diflunisal and its total clearance and total volume of distribution were significantly decreased. The urinary recovery of total indomethacin (unchanged+glucuronides) was significantly lower during administration of diflunisal, whereas excretion of the indomethacin metabolites desmethylindomethacin and desbenzoylindomethacin and their glucuronides was not significantly altered. The results can be explained by selective inhibition of glucuronidation of unchanged indomethacin by diflunisal. The interaction appears clinically relevant as potentially dangerous side effects of indomethacin are related to its plasma concentration.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the tolerability and plasma drug profiles of a leukotriene D4 receptor antagonist, MK-571, given intravenously and as an oral solution in two separate trials. Study I (i.v.) involved 2 panels of 6 healthy men in a double-blind, alternating, incrementally increasing dose study with single doses up to 1500 mg. There was good tolerability at all doses. Plasma was assayed stereospecifically by HPLC for the S(+) and R(−) enantiomers of MK-571. For each enantiomer AUC values increased more than proportionately with increasing dose, suggesting nonlinear kinetics. The S(+) enantiomer was cleared more rapidly than the R(−) enantiomer. The apparent initial volume of distribution was less than 101 for both enantiomers. Study II (oral) involved 18 healthy subjects in 3 parallel groups who took multiple oral doses of 100, 300, and 600 mg t. i. d. for 31 doses. MK-571 administration was well tolerated, with only mild to moderate gastrointestinal discomfort at the highest dose. Total MK-571 (plasma samples assayed nonstereoselectively) was rapidly absorbed after oral administration, reaching peak concentrations at 1–2 h. Mean 8 h AUC increased from dose 1 to dose 31 in all subjects at all doses, suggesting a modest extent of accumulation (about 50 %) of total MK-571 in plasma with a t. i. d. dosage regimen.

    Notes: Summary The disposition of the enantiomers of MK-571 (MK-0679 and L-668,018) following single i. v. doses of MK-571 (L-660,711) was studied in a three way cross-over study in 12 healthy male volunteers. Each volunteer received 75 mg, 300 mg and 600 mg i. v. doses of MK-571 at weekly intervals. The disposition of both enantiomers appeared dose-dependent, since the AUC increased disproportionately faster than the dose. The dose dependency was much more pronounced for L-668,018: its AUC increased 6-fold from the 75 to the 300 mg dose, 16-fold from 75 to 600 mg and 2.7 fold from 300 to 600 mg. For MK-0679, the corresponding increases in AUC were 4.8-, ll-, and 2.3 fold. Regardless of dose, the elimination of L-668,018 was more rapid than that of MK-0679. The disposition of MK-0679 needs to be investigated independently to detect any potential influence of L-668,018 on its disposition.

    Notes: Summary The kinetics of a controlled release (CR) formulation of indomethacin 75 mg (Indocid-Retard®) given once daily was compared with a conventional 25 mg indomethacin capsule (Indocid®) given 3 times daily for 7 days, to 14 healthy volunteers, using a randomized, cross-over, multiple-dose study design. The following differences in plasma indomethacin profiles after the 2 treatments were observed: average peak concentrations (Cmax) for the CR regimen were higher and the time to peak (Tmax) was significantly delayed. Trough (pre-morning dose) plasma concentrations (Cmin) on Days 2, 5, 6 and 7 were significantly lower after the CR-formulation. No statistically significant differences between preparations for area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC0–24h) or for renal clearance were observed. Average steady-state plasma concentrations (C p ss ) on Day 7 of the multiple dose regimens averaged 0.477 and 0.427 µg/ml for the 75 mg CR once daily and the conventional 25 mg t.i.d. treatments, respectively. These results show that the bioavailability of the CR and conventional indomethacin formulations under these multiple-dose conditions was not significantly different.

    Notes: Summary Single oral doses of 10 mg converting enzyme inhibitor benazepril (CGS 14824A) and 40 mg furosemide were administered to 12 healthy male volunteers either separately or concomitantly. The pharmacokinetic parameters of benazepril were not influenced by coadministration of furosemide. Urinary excretion of total furosemide was significantly reduced by 10 to 20% in the presence of benazepril. This effect was considered clinically insignificant. Erect blood pressure decreased and pulse rate increased only during concomitant treatment.

    Notes: Summary The potential effect of moexipril, a new converting enzyme inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single dose of warfarin has been investigated. Ten healthy male volunteers received in a randomised crossover fashion a single oral dose of 50 mg warfarin sodium alone and together with the first dose of 6 days of oral treatment with moexipril 15 mg o.d. Mean oral plasma clearance of (R)-warfarin was 175 ml·h−1 in the absence and 181 ml·h−1 in the presence of moexipril, and the corresponding values for (S)-warfarin were 248 ml·h−1 and 249 ml·h−1. Apparent volume of distribution, peak plasma concentration, time to reach peak concentration and area under the plasma concentration-time curve both of (R)- and (S)-warfarin were not significantly affected. Moexipril did not alter the maximum prothrombin time (20.3 versus 20.1 s, respectively in the absence and presence of moexipril), time to maximum response (48.0 versus 50 h) and area under the prothrombin time versus time curve. The results suggest that a clinically important interaction between moexipril and warfarin is unlikely to occur in patients treated with both drugs.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To investigate the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions between moexipril, a new converting enzyme inhibitor, and hydrochlorothiazide after single dose administration. Methods: 12 healthy male volunteers were studied by an open, randomised, three-way cross-over design, in which single doses of moexipril, hydrochlorothiazide and the two drugs together were administered. Blood and urine were collected up to 48 hours for measurement of the concentrations of moexipril and its metabolite moexiprilat. In addition, the urine samples were analysed for hydrochlorothiazide. Results: For the area under the plasma concentration-time curve calculated from time 0 to a concentration greater than zero, AUC(0–t), the study showed a mean value of moexipril 437 ng ⋅ ml−1⋅ h−1 following administration of moexipril alone and 416 ng ⋅ ml−1⋅ h−1 following moexipril concomitantly with hydrochloro- thiazide. The corresponding values for the metabolite moexiprilat were 203 and 215 ng ⋅ ml−1⋅ h−1, respectively. The cmax of moexipril and the metabolite (data of the metabolite in parenthesis) were 245.4 (70.8) ng ⋅ ml−1 after administration of moexipril alone and 241.0 (69.2) ng ⋅ ml−1 after coadministration of hydrochlorothiazide. The mean total renal excretion (TUE) of hydrochlorothiazide was 15.2 mg when administered alone and 15.1 mg when given together with moexipril. The corresponding mean TUE-values for moexiprilat were 334 (1200) and 453 (1460) μg. Conclusion: The coadministration of moexipril with hydrochlorothiazide had no demonstrable effect on the measured pharmacokinetic parameters of moexipril, its active metabolite moexiprilat or hydrochlorothiazide.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: Prostaglandin synthesis is catalyzed by a constitutive cyclo-oxygenase isoform (COX-1) and an inducible isoform (COX-2). It is hypothesized that the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nonspecific COX-1/COX-2 inhibitors) such as ibuprofen principally derive from COX-2 inhibition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate steady-state pharmacokinetics, biochemical selectivity and tolerability of rofecoxib (VioxxTM), characterized in vitro as a COX-2 inhibitor. Methods: Four panels of healthy men (n=8 per panel) were administered rofecoxib (n=6) (25, 100, 250, 375 mg) or placebo (n=2) once daily on day 1 and days 3–14. Blood samples for assays of rofecoxib plasma concentration and COX isoform activity were obtained pre-dose and at specified time points post-dose. Results: Rofecoxib pharmacokinetics were found to be complex and nonlinear. Elimination half-life ranged from 9.9 h to 17.5 h after multiple dosing with an accumulation ratio close to 2 for all doses. COX-2 inhibitory activity as assessed by average inhibition of whole blood lipopolysaccharide-stimulated prostaglandin E2 over the 8-h post-dose period on day 14 was 0.3, 67, 96, 92 and 96% for the placebo and the 25-, 100-, 250- and 375-mg treatment groups, respectively. No treatment group showed significant inhibition of COX-1 as assessed by thromboxane B2 generation in clotting whole blood. Side effects were mild and transient. Conclusion: The results indicate that rofecoxib is a potent and specific inhibitor of COX-2 in humans even at doses more than tenfold higher than those associated with efficacy in patients with osteoarthritis.
