    Notes: Summary A dose-ranging pharmacokinetic study of buflomedil was carried out in eight subjects to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug after oral and intravenous administration. Based on AUC∞ analyses, the pharmacokinetics of buflomedil were found to be linear within the dose ranges studied (50 to 200 mg for i. v. injection and 150 to 450 mg for oral administration). In the oral study, the mean biological half-life of the drug was 2.97 h, while after intravenous dose it was 3.25 h. The apparent volume of distribution after the pseudodistribution equilibrium (Fdβ) and volume of distribution at the steady state (Vdss) were 1.43±0.24 l/kg and 1.32±0.26 l/kg, respectively. The mean urinary recovery of intact drug and the metabolite, paradesmethyl buflomedil, after intravenous dosing, were 23.6% and 18.7%, respectively, while after oral dosing, they were 18% and 14.8%, respectively. On the average, 72% of the dose was obserbed into the systemic circulation after oral administration. This level of bioavailability was attributed to the hepatic first-pass effect.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of sulphinpyrazone and its major metabolites (sulfide, sulfone, p-hydroxysulfone and p-hydroxy-sulphinpyrazone) were investigated in 9 volunteers after a single oral dose as well as after chronic treatment for 23 days. Chronic administration of sulphinpyrazone, in comparison with a single oral dose, led to significant changes in plasma AUC (115.86 to 42.90 mg/l·h), in renal clearance (1.06 to 1.80l/h), in hepatic intrinsic clearance (319.0 to 598.0l/h), and in the unbound fraction in plasma 1.15 to 1.69%) and in tissue (2.73 to 1.31%). The volume of distribution changed from 20.24 to 52.041. The steady state concentrations predicted from the single dose were significantly higher than the values found after chronic treatment. The results suggest that sulphinpyrazone induces its own metabolism. The metabolism of the sulfone, p-hydroxysulfone and the p-hydroxy-sulphinpyrazone to further degradation products was also induced. Chronic treatment with sulphinpyrazone reduced the plasma AUC of the sulfide and caused a decrease in its elimination half-life (20.9 to 14.3 h). Since considerable amounts of the sulfide are formed in the G.I. tract, it is suggested that besides the induction of metabolism, bacteria which reduce sulphinpyrazone to the sulfide may also be responsible for the observed pharmacokinetic changes.

    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 In 11 healthy volunteers the kinetics of theophylline and the plasma levels and the urinary excretion of its metabolites were studied before and after treatment with erythromycin for 10 days. Theophylline was administered as an intravenous bolus injection (280 mg) followed by a constant intravenous infusion (23.8±4.1 mg/h) for 6 hours. The total clearance of theophylline at steady-state (63.4±9.9 vs 63.8±14.4 ml/min, before vs after erythromycin treatment) and the elimination half-life after cessation of the infusion (6.7±2.6 vs 7.5±1.8 h, before vs after treatment) did not change during the treatment with erythromycin. No difference in the formation of metabolites before and after treatment with erythromycin was detected; the findings in urine were 40.4±5.0 vs 42.1±5.4% 1,3-dimethyluric acid, 29.6±4.6 vs 30.1±5.9% 1-methyluric acid and 13.4±3.5 vs 12.5±2.2% 3-methylxanthine before and after erythromycin treatment, respectively. It is concluded that a clinically relevant interaction between erythromycin and theophylline does not occur.

    Notes: Summary Following oral administration of the uricosuric drug benzbromarone two major metabolites appear in the circulation, 1'-hydroxy-benzbromarone (M1), and a second product (M2) of unknown structure. The plasma concentrations of the parent drug and of M1 and M2 have now been compared in two different elimination phenotypes, 10 subjects who eliminated the drug rapidly (S1–10) and one individual (S11) whose elimination capacity was impaired, presumably due to genetic variation (S11). The AUC (0–96) of the parent drug in S11 was 145 gmg · ml−1 h, and in the other individuals it averaged 18.3 (11.4–24.5) μg · ml−1 h. The plasma elimination half life of benzbromarone was 3.34 (1.77–5.24) h in the rapid eliminators, and 13.08 h in the subject with the elimination defect. The mean plasma elimination half life of the metabolites in S1–10 amounted to 20.1 (11.9–41.2) h for M1, and 17.2 (12.9–30.7) h for M2. In S11 the plasma elimination half life of M1 was prolonged to 76.6 h, and of M2 to 75.4 h. Thus, the elimination defect in S11 was not restricted to the parent drug, but it also involved the two major metabolites M1 and M2. This might be a consequence of a hepatic enzyme deficiency, or be due to impairment of drug excretion.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics and the pharmacodynamic action of dopamine were investigated in 5 healthy subjects. Dopamine was given in different doses (200, 400 and 800 µg/min) by constant intravenous infusion over 90 min. In order to control the influence of the procedure on the measured parameters the subjects also received a similar infusion of saline. Dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline levels in plasma were followed for up to 6 h after the infusion, and arterial pressure and heart rate were monitored. Dopamine reached a steady state level within 15 to 30 min after commencement of the infusion; the steady state levels averaged 36.5 µg/l at 200 µg/min, 73.8 µg/l at 400 µg/min and 207 µg/l at 800 µg/min. The corresponding total clearances were 5.8 l/ min, 5.51/min and 3.9 l/min suggesting non-linear kinetics. The kinetics could not be described by compartmental model. Noradrenaline and adrenaline levels were found to be elevated during infusion of dopamine. Noradrenaline had returned to its pretreatment level within 15 to 30 min after cessation of the infusion, whereas the adrenaline level did not return to the pretreatment value within the observation period. Heart rate was increased by the dose of 400 µg/min, and the systolic and mean arterial pressures were elevated, whereas distolic blood pressure remained unchanged. Elevated systolic blood pressure was better correlated with plasma dopamine than with noradrenaline concentration. This finding, in conjunction with the unchanged diastolic blood pressure, indicates that elevation of the systolic blood pressure is a direct rather than an indirect effect of dopamine. The increased heart rate was not correlated with the dopamine level.
