    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of verapamil was studied in patients with end-stage chronic renal failure and in normal subjects after i.v. injection of 3 mg and a single oral dose of 80 mg. Plasma levels of verapamil and its active metabolite norverapamil were measured by HPLC. After i.v. injection, the terminal phase half-life and total plasma clearance of verapamil in both groups were similar. Haemodialysis did not change the time course of plasma verapamil levels after i.v. administration. After a single oral dose, the plasma levels of verapamil and norverapamil in both groups of subjects were similar. Subsequently, normal volunteers and patients with renal failure were treated for 5 days with oral verapamil 80 mg t.d.s. There was no difference between the 2 groups of subjects in the trough and peak levels of verapamil or of norverapamil. Intravenous and oral administration of the calcium channel blocking agent had similar effects on blood pressure, heart rate and the PR-interval in the electrocardiogram in both groups. The study demonstrated that the disposition of verapamil was similar in normal subjects and in patients with renal failure.

    Notes: Summary In order to study the function of dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH) in human plasma, dopamine, its natural substrate, was infused intravenously in 22 healthy volunteers. Their plasma DBH activities showed great interindividual variations (31–301 units/ml). The infusion rates of dopamine required to increase systolic blood pressure (BP) by 30 mm Hg differed considerably between the subjects, and ranged from 3,0 to 11,6 µg/kg/min. No correlation could be shown between the various dopamine doses and individual plasma levels of DBH. It was concluded, therefore, that plasma DBH in the blood stream was enzymatically inactive. Experiments with human plasma DBH in vitro also support this interpretation. Consequently, interindividual differences in the effects on BP during dopamine infusion cannot be due to pressor effects of noradrenaline synthesized by plasma DBH.

    Total and free steady-state plasma levels and pharmacokinetics of nifedipine in patients with terminal renal failure (1989)

    Notes: Summary The total and free steady-state plasma levels of nifedipine in patients with renal failure have been compared with those in subjects with normal renal function. Studies were done after administration of nifedipine 10 mg t.d.s. p.o. for 5 days, after i.v. infusion of 4·4 mg, and after a single 10 mg oral dose. The systemic clearance of nifedipine after a single i.v.-dose was higher in subjects with renal insufficiency (854 ml/min) than in those with normal renal function (468 ml/min). After the single oral dose the AUC (6100 ng·min·ml−1) and maximum plasma concentration (75.0 ng·ml−1) were lower than in subjects with normal renal function (19300 ng·ml−1; 122 ng·ml−1). The plasma protein binding of nifedipine averaged 95.5% in normal subjects and 94.8% in patients with renal failure. Although free and total steady-state plasma levels of nifedipine tended to be somewhat lower than normal in renal failure, the changes in pharmacokinetics and decreased protein binding of nifedipine did not result in a significantly different steady-state plasma level of the drug. The blood pressure response to a given plasma nifedipine level appeared to be enhanced in renal failure.
