    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of bendroflumethiazide (BFT) was investigated following the oral administration of 10 mg to 3 healthy volunteers. Each subject participated twice in the study. BFT was determined in plasma and cantharides blister fluid from 1/2 to 30 h post administration. Blister fluid was obtained from blisters 10–22 h old. Plasma levels were fitted to a tri-exponential equation and the concentration of the drug in the peripheral compartment was calculated from the microscopic rate constants. In 5 of 6 cases investigated, cantharides blister fluid levels paralleled the concentration of the drug in the peripheral compartment. The mean blister fluid levels exceeded the calculated concentration in Compartment 2 1.46 fold. In one case, the blister fluid level paralleled the plasma level. This subject clearly differed from the others as more than 10 h were required for blister formation in her. The results suggest that following the administration of BFT, cantharides blister fluid behaves as part of the peripheral compartment. The possible value of studying blister fluid levels in pharmacokinetic investigations is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Bendroflumethiazide (Bft) was administered to 6 healthy subjects at 3 different dose levels (2.5, 5 and 10 mg) in a cross-over design, either as capsules (2.5 mg) or as tablets (5 mg). Its pharmacokinetics were evaluated then and following administration of a fixed combination of Bft with propranolol and hydralazine to a further 7 volunteers. Plasma and urinary concentrations of Bft were determined by a new fluorimetric — thin-layer chromotography procedure. Peak plasma levels occurred after 2–3 h and averaged 15, 27 and 45 µg/l in the three dose groups. Areas under the plasma concentration — time curves (AUC0→12), which were 75, 147 and 250 µg l−1 h respectively, and cumulative urinary recovery (20%) were independent of the dose administered and the type of formulation. Thus Bft kinetics proved to be linear within the dose range evaluated. The plasma clearance was calculated to be 505 ml/min, renal clearance 108 ml/min and nonrenal clearance 396 ml/min. Bioavailability of Bft was not altered following administration of the fixed combination. The amount of propranolol found in the circulation did not change, whereas that of hydralazine (determined as apparent hydralazine) increased by 59% when the fixed combination was administered.

    Notes: Summary With a new formulation, which made intravenous infusion of triamterene (TA) possible, plasma levels and urinary excretion rates of TA and its main metabolite (OH-TA-ester) were measured in a randomized, cross-over trial in 6 healthy volunteers given triamterene 10 mg i.v. and 50 mg p.o. TA and OH-TA-ester were determined by densitometric measurement of native fluorescence after thin layer chromatography. Distribution volumes of the central compartment of TA and OH-TA-ester were 1.49 l/kg and 0.11 l/kg, respectively. Terminal half-lives were 255 min for TA and 188 min for OH-TA-ester after i.v. administration. For TA total plasma clearance was 4.5 l/min and renal plasma clearance 0.22 l/kg. The formation of OH-TA-ester was very rapid and the concentration of the metabolite exceeded that of TA at all times. After i.v. administration the urinary recovery of TA and OH-TA-ester was 4.4% and 50.9%, respectively. The bioavailability of TA was 52%, corresponding to absorption of 83%. TA is partly eliminated by a first-pass-effect. The main metabolite of TA is OH-TA-ester, which is pharmacologically active.

    Notes: Summary Griseofulvin and 6-demethylgriseofulvin (6-DMG) in plasma, suction blister fluid (SBF) and cantharides blister fluid (CBF) and urinary excretion of 6-DMG, were evaluated following administration of single oral doses of an ultramicrosize and a microsize formulation of griseofulvin to 6 healthy volunteers. The bioavailability of griseofulvin was higher following the ultramicrosize formulation when 64% of the dose was recovered (via metabolites) versus 52% after the microsize preparation. Penetration into skin blister fluid was delayed as compared to plasma levels; the peak concentration in plasma was observed at 3–4 h, whereas griseofulvin in CBF increased up to 6 h. The terminal half-live was calculated from plasma levels to 9.3 h. The half-lives calculated from SBF and CBF concentrations were 9.2 and 9.8 h, respectively, (n=5). In plasma 84% of griseofulvin was bound to proteins, predominantly to albumin; binding in SBF and CBF was 72 and 82%, respectively. 3 h after drug administration the free concentration in plasma significantly exceeded the free concentrations in SBF and CBF. Distribution equilibrium between plasma and skin blister fluid was observed after 27 h. Thus, during chronic administration, the plasma griseofulvin level should reflect its concentration in the target organ.

    Notes: Summary Griseofulvin was administered orally to 6 healthy volunteers for 6 days. The subjects received 500 mg of a microsize formulation and 330 mg of an ultramicrosize formulation, according to a cross-over design. The drug was determined in plasma, suction blister fluid (SBF) and cantharides blister fluid (CBF) following the last dose. Urinary excretion of the main metabolites 6-demethylgriseofulvin (6-DMG) and its glucuronic acid conjugate was also measured. The pharmacokinetic parameters were compared with those obtained from a recent single dose experiment. On repeated administration, the bioavailability of griseofulvin was significantly lower from the microsize formulation; the urinary recovery of total 6-DMG was 33.8% versus 53.6% on administration of the ultramicrosize material. Bioavailability was reduced as compared to ingestion of a single dose. The reduction was more prominent following the microsize (36%) than the ultramicrosize (17%) formulation. Penetration into skin blister fluid was not altered as compared to the single dose experiment. Relative areas under the blister fluid-time curves amounted to 51% (SBF) and 80% (CBF) of the area under the plasma level-time curve. The concentration of unbound griseofulvin in these body fluids was identical throughout the entire dosage interval. Unbound griseofulvin levels were low in comparison with the minimum inhibitory concentrations for strains of trichophyton and microsporum.

    Notes: Summary Cefodizime pharmacokinetics was investigated, evaluating drug concentrations in serum, skin suction blister fluid (SBF), saliva and urine in six healthy male subjects who were administered a 1-g dose intravenously. Serum levels in five subjects can be described according to a two-compartment open model; terminal half-life is 181±14 min. Volume of distribution (Vdβ) amounts to 15.3±1.61, serum clearance to 59±6 ml/min, renal clearance to 33±3 ml/min. Of the administered dose, 54% is renally excreted unchanged within 27 h. Unbound drug fraction in serum is 19.0% and in SBF 38.4%. Thus renal clearance of free cefodizime amounts to 172 ml/min, Vdss to 68.91 (free drug). Whereas cefodizime has not been detected in saliva samples, SBF concentration 3–9 h post administration parallel serum levels, amounting to 40% of the respective serum concentration. At 9 h, unbound cefodizime concentrations in SBF amount to 1.4±0.4 µg/ml, this value being well above the MIC90% values of many clinically relevant bacteria.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of penbutolol 40 mg, its reduction in exercise-induced tachycardia, and the in vitro inhibition of radioligand binding to beta-adrenoceptors by plasma have been investigated in 7 healthy volunteers. The peak penbutolol concentration of 285 ng/ml was observed 1.2 h after administration, and the maximum of 4′-OH-penbutolol of 4.76 ng/ml was found after 1.64 h. Penbutolol was detected for up to 48 h, and 4′-OH-penbutolol dropped below the limit of detection after about 10 h. The terminal plasma concentration of penbutolol declined with an average half-life of 19 h. The maximum reduction in exercise-induced tachycardia was 33 beats/min 2.6 h after taking penbutolol. There was still a significant reduction of about 7 beats/min after 48 h. This effect could be adequately explained by the concentration-time course of penbutolol in combination with Clark's model of the concentration-effect relationship. Antagonist activity in plasma caused 91% inhibition of radioligand binding in vitro to beta2-adrenoceptors on rat reticulocyte membranes 1.6 h after intake of penbutolol. By 48 h after intake, radioligand binding was still significantly inhibited (23%). The in vitro inhibition of radioligand binding by plasma showed a linear correlation with the reduction in exercise-induced tachycardia for all phases of the workload. The time course of the reduction in heart rate was completely explained by the in vitro inhibition of radioligand binding. However, it was not possible to explain the in vitro inhibition of radioligand binding by the concentration-time course of penbutolol using a simple competition model, although both variables were based on the same sampling site. When the in vitro inhibition of radioligand binding was plotted against the penbutolol concentration at the same sampling times (with both variables transformed to multiples of the apparent inhibition constant) the discrepancy became even more apparent as time-related counterclockwise hysteresis. None of the known metabolites of penbutolol can explain the discrepancy between the penbutolol concentration and the inhibition of radioligand binding in vitro. It appears that an other active metabolite is formed, which contributes to the effect in vitro and in vivo and so can explain the observed discrepancy.

    Notes: Summary The plasma and urinary levels of triamterene and two metabolites were measured using a specific method of analysis. Urinary excretion was completed after 48 h, which permitted a rough estimate of its half-life as longer than two hours. The areas under the curve were 672.5±160.3 and 1.311.3±399.1 µg/ml × h after the triameterene 150 mg and 300 mg p.o., respectively and correspondingly 4.2±1.4% and 3.7±0.6% of the dose were excreted as unchanged drug. The principal metabolite of triamterene found was the sulfate conjugate. The area under the curve of this metabolite amounted to 6.672±2.120 and 11.941±5.005 µg/ml × h after the of 150 mg and 300 mg triamterene doses, respectively. The urinary excretion of the metabolite varied between 25.0±4.0% and 17.5±3.5% of the dose after either dose. In healthy subjects an effect on sodium excretion was observed after a dose of 150 mg, whereas the potassium-retaining effect was observed only after the dose of 300 mg.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of atenolol were determined following acute intravenous and chronic oral administration to 20 subjects with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 5 and 113 ml/min. Plasma levels in a further 5 patients on haemodialysis were measured after intravenous treatment. The mean half life of elimination increased from 5.9 h in patients with normal renal function to 42.1 h in preuraemic patients (GFR 〈10 ml/min) following a single i. v. dose. The half life of elimination following chronic oral administration was not significantly different. Mean peak plasma concentrations increased from 540 ng/ml in patients with normal renal function to 1493 ng/ml in preuraemic patients following chronic oral treatment with 100 mg/day. The mean half life of elimination during a single haemodialysis treatment was 4.3 h. In patients with a GFR 〉30 ml/min the normal daily dose of atenolol should be employed, in patients with a GFR between 10 and 30 ml/min the dose should be reduced by half, and in patients with a GFR 〈10 ml/min a reduction by three quarters of the normal dose is recommended.

    Notes: Summary The kinetics of triamterene and its active phase II metabolite were studied in 32 patients with various degrees of impaired renal function; the creatinine clearances ranged from 135 to 10 ml/min. The area under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUC) for triamterene were not influenced by kidney function, but the AUCs for the effective metabolite OH-TA-ester were significantly elevated in renal failure, indicating accumulation of the metabolite. Urinary recovery of triamterene and its metabolite over a 48 h collection period was significantly reduced in renal failure. This is considered to be due to delayed urinary excretion, corresponding to reduced renal clearance. The renal clearance of the native drug exceeded that of the metabolite, because of their different protein binding, 55% for triamterene and 91% for the metabolite. The latter is eliminated almost exclusively via tubular secretion and extrarenal elimination is less important. Administration of this antikaliuretic is therefore considered hazardous in patients with impaired kidney function.
