    Notes: Summary We have studied the influence of food and dose (50, 100, 200 mg) on the oral systemic availability of the broad spectrum antifungal itraconazole and the pharmacokinetics after repeated dosing of 100 mg in six healthy volunteers. The relative systemic availability of itraconazole capsules compared with solution averaged 39.8% in the fasting state but 102% in the post-prandial state. Food did not significantly affect the tmax of the capsules. Itraconazole AUC at single doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg had a ratio of 0.3:1:2.7, and the steady-state AUC (0–24) after 15 days of 100 mg was five times the single-dose AUC. These findings suggest non-linear itraconazole pharmacokinetics in the range of therapeutically used doses. Furthermore, capsules should be given shortly after a meal to ensure optimal oral systemic availability.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of loperamide, after oral administration of increasing doses (1 to 16 mg) of loperamide oxide, has been investigated in 10 healthy male volunteers, using a randomised cross-over design. Comparison of the maximum plasma loperamide concentration and AUC demonstrated that the bioavailability of loperamide was proportional to the dose of loperamide oxide administered.

    Notes: Summary Maternal and umbilical venous plasma was obtained at delivery from 8 mothers and their neonates after an i.v. bolus injection of alfentanil, and from 6 mothers and their neonates after epidural administration of sufentanil. Plasma levels of total (free + bound) alfentanil in neonates were about 3.4-times lower than in their mothers. At 33–55 min after 30 µg sufentanil, total drug levels in mothers were around the limit of detection of the radioimmunoassay (0.05 ng/ml); in one mother who had received 250 µg, the plasma level of total sufentanil was 2.6-times higher than in her neonate. Plasma protein binding of alfentanil was 88.2% in mothers and 67.2% in neonates. Plasma protein binding of sufentanil was 90.7% in mothers and 79.3% in neonates. For both drugs, plasma protein binding was significantly related to the α1-acid glycoprotein (α1-AGP) level, which was about 2.5-times lower in the infants. Free alfentanil levels in mothers and neonates were similar. Free levels of sufentanil in mothers and neonates differed less from each other than did the total drug levels.

    Notes: Summary The comparative bioavailability of cisapride as a 30 mg suppository and three 5 mg oral tablets was investigated in 12 non-smoking, healthy male volunteers. The two formulations were administered on two separate occasions following an overnight fast, according to a randomized cross-over design. The plasma concentration of cisapride was measured over 48 h after drug administration. The 30 mg suppository exhibited a mean time to the peak plasma concentration of 3.8 h, while the tablets showed a significantly earlier peak time of 1.5 h. The maximum plasma concentration of cisapride after the 30 mg suppository (50.3 ng · ml−1) was significantly lower than after the tablets (74.3 ng · ml−1). The AUCs following the two treatments did not differ significantly from each other. The comparative bioavailability of the 30 mg cisapride suppository in relation to the three 5 mg oral tablets was 85%, with a 95%-confidence interval of 67% to 102% (not adjusted for dose). Normalizing the mean AUC by dose, the relative bioavailability of the suppository was 43% of that of the tablet. The elimination half-life of cisapride was not significantly different following the administration of the two formulations (9.3 h for the suppository and 9.8 h for the tablet).

    Notes: Summary The metabolic reduction-oxidation equilibrium between ketanserin and ketanserin-ol was studied after oral dosing of both substances to two healthy volunteers. Comparison of plasma Cmax and AUCs indicated that the equilibrium was shifted towards ketanserin-ol. There is evidence that ketanserin-ol elimination is the slowest step dictating the terminal half-life of ketanserin.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of ketanserin (R 41468), a novel serotonin S2-receptor blocking agent widely investigated for its effect on acute and chronic hypertension, has been studied in 10 healthy male subjects. They received single 10 mg doses i.v. and i.m., and 20, 40 and 60 mg solutions of ketanserin by mouth, in a five-way cross-over design. The model-independent kinetics of i.v. ketanserin were characterized by a terminal half-life of 14.3±4.4 h, a moderate plasma clearance (CL=565±57 ml/min) and a large tissue distribution (Vss=268±71 l, Vz=703±204 l; mean ± SD). Following i.m. administration, peak levels of nearly 200 ng/ml were attained within 10 minutes and the absolute bioavailability was 112±23%. After oral dosing, peak levels of ketanserin were reached within 1 h. The peak level and AUC increased in proportion to the dose. The absolute bioavailability was 46.8, 50.4 and 55.5% for 20, 40 and 60 mg doses and they conformed to the predicted bioavailability based on i.v. clearance data. The terminal half-life of 17 h and the urinary excretion of parent drug (about 0.7% of the dose) were similar after oral and parenteral dosing. The kinetics of ketanserin-ol, the major metabolite of ketanserin formed by ketone reduction, was also studied. Because of its negligible pharmacological activity, the contribution of ketanserin-ol to the overall therapeutic effect of ketanserin is small, in spite of its 1.6-times (parenteral) to 3.2-times (oral) higher plasma level than that of ketanserin. The particular role of the metabolite is discussed in the light of the clinical pharmacokinetics of ketanserin.

    Notes: Summary The single- and repeated-dose pharmacokinetics of sabeluzole have been determined in six elderly patients with [senile] dementia of the Alzheimer type. After a single oral dose of 10 mg sabeluzole, the peak plasma concentration was attained at 1 to 4 h; it averaged 42 ng·ml−1. On repeated dosing (10 mg b. d.), steady-state was virtually attained after 3 days of treatment. Steadystate mean trough and peak plasma concentrations fluctuated between 53 and 94 ng·ml−1. The mean terminal half-life after a single dose and at steady-state was of the order of 33 h. Sabeluzole was well tolerated and at the end of treatment, no systematic changes in blood haematology, biochemistry or urinalysis were seen.

    Notes: Summary Plasma samples and biopsies of vaginal tissue were obtained from 23 healthy women undergoing operative sterilization, 1 to 6 h after a single oral dose of ketoconazole 200 mg. Drug concentrations in plasma and tissue, were measured by a specific gas chromatographic method. The vaginal tissue concentration averaged 2.4 times less than the corresponding plasma levels. Equilibrium between tissue, and plasma was established within 1 h after dosing, when vaginal tissue levels exceeded 1 µg/g. Ketoconazole concentrations decayed monoexponentially over the time interval studied (1–6 h), with the similar half-lives of 1.2 and 1.4 h in plasma and tissue, respectively. Following an oral 200 mg dose, a tissue concentration not less than 0.01 µg/ml was maintained over a 12 h period. This concentration has been shown to prevent outgrowth of the invasive (pseudo) mycelial form ofCandida albicans. Hence, a b.i.d. or t.i.d. dosage schedule of ketoconazole in vaginal candidosis would give continuously effective levels at the site of infection. Ketoconazole concentrations in vaginal fluid are thought to be much higher than in the tissue because of ion-trapping. The present data may explain the efficacy of oral ketoconazole in the treatment of vaginal candidosis.

    Notes: Summary Alfentanil 100 µg/kg was administered as an i.v. bolus to 9 patients with severe chronic renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance 1.0±1.2 ml/min) requiring regular haemodialysis. Plasma alfentanil concentrations were measured by a specific radioimmunoassay. Individual plasma concentration-time curves were fitted to a two-compartment open model. Mean distribution and elimination half-lives were 3.7 min and 58 min, respectively. The apparent volumes of distribution of the central compartment and the total volume of distribution at steady-state were 91 ml/kg and 304 ml/kg, respectively. Alfentanil plasma clearance was 5.3±2.5 ml/min/kg. All the patients tolerated alfentanil well and no side-effects nor delayed recovery were observed.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: The pharmacokinetics of a single i.v. dose of the new racemic β-adrenoceptor-blocker nebivolol [0.073 mg base · kg–1 ideal body weight (IBW)] was studied in 9 obese (157% IBW) and 9 non-obese healthy volunteers (98% IBW). Each group contained 4 men and 5 women, aged 32 years, including one poor hydroxylator (dextrometorphan test). Methods: The cardiovascular effects of nebivolol are significant decreases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac output, which last up to 4–5 h. The plasma concentrations of the separate d- and l- enantiomers of nebivolol, with and without hydroxylated metabolite, were measured by radioimmunoassay and the unchanged racemate by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The pharmacokinetic parameters for each form were calculated separately. Results: The main pharmacokinetic parameters of unchanged nebivolol in extensive metabolizers were (controls): distribution volume at steady state (Vss) 673 l; volume corrected by real body weight (Vss · kg–1) 11.2 l ·  kg–1; total clearance (CL) 51.6 h–1; and terminal half-life (t1/2) 10.3 h. The Vss (898 l) and CL (71.6 l · h–1) were significantly higher in obese patients. But Vss · kg–1 (9.4 l · kg–1) and t1/2 (10.0 h) were not significantly different from those in controls. The CL was clearly reduced (15–18 l · h–1) and the t1/2 prolonged (32–34 h) in poor hydroxylators, in both control and obese subjects. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the separate unchanged enantiomers were similar to those of the racemate in both groups. The pharmacokinetics of l-nebivolol were more influenced by the hydroxylation phenotype than those of d-nebivolol. The trend of the results for the sum of each enantiomer plus its metabolite, was similar to those for the unchanged form. Conclusion: The distribution of nebivolol in the adipose tissue in obese subjects is limited, despite its high lipophilicity. The differences between obese and non-obese subjects were not clinically relevant.
