    Notes: Abstract The effect of amiodarone on hepatic drug metabolism in vivo was examined in the rat using antipyrine as a model substrate. Pretreatment with oral amiodarone hydrochloride, 100 mg/kg/day, for 5 days resulted in a 19% reduction in antipyrine clearance and a 22% increase in half-life. The administration of single oral doses of amiodarone hydrochloride, 100 mg/kg, 1 or 5 hr prior to antipyrine administration had no significant effect on antipyrine pharmacokinetics. The administration of a single intravenous dose of amiodarone hydrochloride, 50 mg/kg, reduced antipyrine clearance by 32% and increased the half-life by 46%. The desethyl metabolite of amiodarone was also found to reduce antipyrine clearance (21%) after a single oral dose of 100 mg/kg.

    Notes: Abstract Numerous agents that undergo extensive first-pass metabolism have been shown to inhibit oxidative drug metabolism. To examine whether this effect is related to the chemical structure or pharmacokinetic characteristics of the inhibiting agent, we determined the effect of dextromethorphan (a compound which exhibits pharmacokinetic similarities to, but is chemically dissimilar from, previously studied agents) on the disposition of antipyrine. A single oral dose of dextromethorphan hydrobromide, 100 mg/kg, 1 hr prior to antipyrine administration had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of this model substrate. The administration of dextromethorphan at the same dose twice daily for 3 days and an additional dose 1 hr prior to antipyrine administration resulted in a 33% increase in the clearance of antipyrine. These data indicate that dextromethorphan is capable of inducing hepatic microsomal enzymes. Studies are needed to determine if this effect also occurs upon chronic administration in humans. These data suggest that the pharmacokinetic characteristic of extensive first-pass metabolism is not necessarily associated with inhibition of drug metabolism.

    Notes: Abstract The concomitant administration of hydralazine with metoprolol or propranolol substantially increases the oral bioavailability of these beta-blockers, presumably via reduction of the first-pass effect. It has been suggested that this effect may be secondary to a decrease in the intrinsic clearance of propranolol, possibly by inhibition of oxidative metabolism. To examine the possibility that hydralazine alters oxidative metabolism in vivo, the effect of hydralazine on the pharmacokinetics of antipyrine was examined in the rat. The oral administration of hydralazine hydrochloride, 7.5 mg/kg, 15 min prior to antipyrine administration reduced antipyrine clearance from 9.66 ± 1.18 to 8.19 ± 0.76 ml/min/kg (P 〈 0.05). Hydralazine was observed to cause substantial hypothermia. The study was repeated in temperature-regulated animals and no alteration in antipyrine clearance was found. Two doses of hydralazine in temperature-regulated rats also failed to alter antipyrine clearance. Thus, it appears that the effect of hydralazine on antipyrine clearance is secondary to the hypothermic effect of hydralazine and not due to a direct inhibition of cytochrome P-450-mediated enzyme activity.
