    Notes: Summary Healthy male volunteers received three different dose regimens of a controlled-release form of isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS-5-MN; 60 mg per tablet). Dose regimen I consisted of a single daily dose of 60 mg given for 5 days. Dose regimen 11 was started with a dose of 60 mg, followed by 30 mg 12 h later and thereafter every 8 h. The last dose, on the 5th day was again 60 mg. In dose regimen III60 mg followed by 30 mg 6 h later were administered every day for 5 days. The peripheral arterial and venous effects of IS-5-MN during the first and last dosing interval were followed by changes in the finger pulse curve, standing systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and venous distensibility. Plasma concentrations of IS-5-MN were measured frequently following the first and the last dose. Following dose regimen I all hemodynamic effects produced by the first dose were maintained during the study. The maximal plasma concentrations were about 400 ng/ml and the trough value, lower than 100 ng/ml. Following dose regimen II the hemodynamic effects of IS-5-MN and sublingual glyceroltrinitrate were completely abolished on the 5th day. Trough plasma concentrations were approximately 300 ng/ml during the entire study period. Following dose regimen III pronounced hemodynamic effects were seen on the 1st day. However, a significant attenuation of the hemodynamic effects was measured on the 5th day, when trough plasma concentrations were between 100 and 230 ng/ml. There was a significant negative correlation between the magnitude of hemodynamic effect remaining on the 5th day (measured by the area under the finger pulse curve) and the trough plasma concentration. Thus, the maintenance of minimum plasma concentrations of IS-5MN of 300 ng/ml or higher produces a rapid development of hemodynamic nitrate tolerance, whereas no tolerance was found when the plasma concentrations were allowed to decline below 100 ng/ml before the next dose was given. A significant attenuation of hemodynamic effects was found when minimum plasma concentrations were between 100 and 230 ng/ml. The degree of attenuation in this concentration range increased with increasing trough plasma concentrations.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics and haemodynamic effects of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) have been investigated following administration of single doses as a sublingual (SL) spray (2.5 mg), sublingual tablet (5 mg) and peroral tablet (10 mg) in a randomised, placebo-controlled double-blind cross-over trial in 16 healthy volunteers. After the sublingual spray Cmax was higher (39.0 ng·ml-1) and tmax was shorter (3.9 min) than after the sublingual (22.8 ng·ml-1 and 13.8 min) and peroral (16.9 ng·ml-1 and 25.6 min) tablets. The AUC of ISDN did not differ following any of the three formulations (1031; 879; 997 ng·ml-1·min, for the spray, SL tablet and PO-tablet, respectively). Mononitrate metabolites of ISDN (IS-2-MN and IS-5-MN) and total nitrates in plasma increased in proportion to the administered dose. This indicates that the fraction of the dose absorbed was the same for all the formulations but that the extent of first-pass metabolism increased in the order sublingual spray 〈 sublingual tablet 〈 peroral tablet. Thus, compared to the spray, the relative bioavailability of ISDN was 48% and 28% from the sublingual and peroral tablets, respectively. The haemodynamic effects were quantified using the a/b ratio of the finger pulse wave and the systolic blood pressure and heart rate under orthostatic conditions. For the a/b ratio of the finger pulse, the maximal effect was higher (emax=130%) and the time to emax (temax) shorter (16.6 min) after the spray than the sublingual tablet (84.4% and 25.5 min) or peroral tablet (90.2 and 31.3 min). The onset of effect was within 3, 5 and 7.5 min after the spray, sublingual and peroral tablets, respectively. A larger change in the orthostatically-induced decrease in systolic blood pressure and increase in heart rate was obtained following peroral than sublingual administration despite the similar plasma concentrations of ISDN. This probably reflects the larger amount of pharmacodynamically active mononitrate metabolites formed after oral dosing. The integrated effect following administration of 2.5 mg ISDN as spray was similar to that of a sublingual tablet of 5 mg.
