    Notes: Summary We have studied the influence of food and dose (50, 100, 200 mg) on the oral systemic availability of the broad spectrum antifungal itraconazole and the pharmacokinetics after repeated dosing of 100 mg in six healthy volunteers. The relative systemic availability of itraconazole capsules compared with solution averaged 39.8% in the fasting state but 102% in the post-prandial state. Food did not significantly affect the tmax of the capsules. Itraconazole AUC at single doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg had a ratio of 0.3:1:2.7, and the steady-state AUC (0–24) after 15 days of 100 mg was five times the single-dose AUC. These findings suggest non-linear itraconazole pharmacokinetics in the range of therapeutically used doses. Furthermore, capsules should be given shortly after a meal to ensure optimal oral systemic availability.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of loperamide, after oral administration of increasing doses (1 to 16 mg) of loperamide oxide, has been investigated in 10 healthy male volunteers, using a randomised cross-over design. Comparison of the maximum plasma loperamide concentration and AUC demonstrated that the bioavailability of loperamide was proportional to the dose of loperamide oxide administered.

    Notes: Summary The comparative bioavailability of cisapride as a 30 mg suppository and three 5 mg oral tablets was investigated in 12 non-smoking, healthy male volunteers. The two formulations were administered on two separate occasions following an overnight fast, according to a randomized cross-over design. The plasma concentration of cisapride was measured over 48 h after drug administration. The 30 mg suppository exhibited a mean time to the peak plasma concentration of 3.8 h, while the tablets showed a significantly earlier peak time of 1.5 h. The maximum plasma concentration of cisapride after the 30 mg suppository (50.3 ng · ml−1) was significantly lower than after the tablets (74.3 ng · ml−1). The AUCs following the two treatments did not differ significantly from each other. The comparative bioavailability of the 30 mg cisapride suppository in relation to the three 5 mg oral tablets was 85%, with a 95%-confidence interval of 67% to 102% (not adjusted for dose). Normalizing the mean AUC by dose, the relative bioavailability of the suppository was 43% of that of the tablet. The elimination half-life of cisapride was not significantly different following the administration of the two formulations (9.3 h for the suppository and 9.8 h for the tablet).

    Notes: Summary The metabolic reduction-oxidation equilibrium between ketanserin and ketanserin-ol was studied after oral dosing of both substances to two healthy volunteers. Comparison of plasma Cmax and AUCs indicated that the equilibrium was shifted towards ketanserin-ol. There is evidence that ketanserin-ol elimination is the slowest step dictating the terminal half-life of ketanserin.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of ketanserin (R 41468), a novel serotonin S2-receptor blocking agent widely investigated for its effect on acute and chronic hypertension, has been studied in 10 healthy male subjects. They received single 10 mg doses i.v. and i.m., and 20, 40 and 60 mg solutions of ketanserin by mouth, in a five-way cross-over design. The model-independent kinetics of i.v. ketanserin were characterized by a terminal half-life of 14.3±4.4 h, a moderate plasma clearance (CL=565±57 ml/min) and a large tissue distribution (Vss=268±71 l, Vz=703±204 l; mean ± SD). Following i.m. administration, peak levels of nearly 200 ng/ml were attained within 10 minutes and the absolute bioavailability was 112±23%. After oral dosing, peak levels of ketanserin were reached within 1 h. The peak level and AUC increased in proportion to the dose. The absolute bioavailability was 46.8, 50.4 and 55.5% for 20, 40 and 60 mg doses and they conformed to the predicted bioavailability based on i.v. clearance data. The terminal half-life of 17 h and the urinary excretion of parent drug (about 0.7% of the dose) were similar after oral and parenteral dosing. The kinetics of ketanserin-ol, the major metabolite of ketanserin formed by ketone reduction, was also studied. Because of its negligible pharmacological activity, the contribution of ketanserin-ol to the overall therapeutic effect of ketanserin is small, in spite of its 1.6-times (parenteral) to 3.2-times (oral) higher plasma level than that of ketanserin. The particular role of the metabolite is discussed in the light of the clinical pharmacokinetics of ketanserin.

    Notes: Summary Plasma samples and biopsies of vaginal tissue were obtained from 23 healthy women undergoing operative sterilization, 1 to 6 h after a single oral dose of ketoconazole 200 mg. Drug concentrations in plasma and tissue, were measured by a specific gas chromatographic method. The vaginal tissue concentration averaged 2.4 times less than the corresponding plasma levels. Equilibrium between tissue, and plasma was established within 1 h after dosing, when vaginal tissue levels exceeded 1 µg/g. Ketoconazole concentrations decayed monoexponentially over the time interval studied (1–6 h), with the similar half-lives of 1.2 and 1.4 h in plasma and tissue, respectively. Following an oral 200 mg dose, a tissue concentration not less than 0.01 µg/ml was maintained over a 12 h period. This concentration has been shown to prevent outgrowth of the invasive (pseudo) mycelial form ofCandida albicans. Hence, a b.i.d. or t.i.d. dosage schedule of ketoconazole in vaginal candidosis would give continuously effective levels at the site of infection. Ketoconazole concentrations in vaginal fluid are thought to be much higher than in the tissue because of ion-trapping. The present data may explain the efficacy of oral ketoconazole in the treatment of vaginal candidosis.

    Notes: Summary Alfentanil 100 µg/kg was administered as an i.v. bolus to 9 patients with severe chronic renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance 1.0±1.2 ml/min) requiring regular haemodialysis. Plasma alfentanil concentrations were measured by a specific radioimmunoassay. Individual plasma concentration-time curves were fitted to a two-compartment open model. Mean distribution and elimination half-lives were 3.7 min and 58 min, respectively. The apparent volumes of distribution of the central compartment and the total volume of distribution at steady-state were 91 ml/kg and 304 ml/kg, respectively. Alfentanil plasma clearance was 5.3±2.5 ml/min/kg. All the patients tolerated alfentanil well and no side-effects nor delayed recovery were observed.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: The pharmacokinetics and non-linear red blood cell partitioning of the nucleoside transport inhibitor draflazine were investigated in 19 healthy male and female subjects (age range 22–55 years) after a 15-min i.v. infusion of 1 mg, immediately followed by infusions of variable rates (0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg · h−1) and variable duration (2–24 h). Methods: The parameters describing the capacity-limited specific binding of draflazine to the nucleoside transporters located on erythrocytes were determined by NONMEM analysis. The red blood cell nucleoside transporter occupancy of draflazine (RBC occupancy) was evaluated as a pharmacodynamic endpoint. Results: The population typical value for the dissociation constant K d (%CV) was 0.648 (12) ng · ml−1 plasma, expressing the very high affinity of draflazine for the erythrocytes. The typical value of the specific maximal binding capacity Bmax (%CV) was 155 (2) ng · ml−1 RBC. The interindividual variability (%CV) was moderate for K d (38.9%) and low for Bmax (7.8%). As a consequence, the variability in RBC occupancy of draflazine was relatively low, allowing the justification of only one infusion scheme for all subjects. The specific binding of draflazine to the red blood cells was a source of non-linearity in draflazine pharmacokinetics. Steady-state plasma concentrations of draflazine virtually increased dose-proportionally and steady state was reached at about 18 h after the start of the continuous infusion. The t1/2βaveraged 11.0–30.5 h and the mean CL from the plasma was 327 to 465 ml · min−1. The disposition of draflazine in whole blood was different from that in plasma. The mean t1/2β was 30.2 to 42.2 h and the blood CL averaged 17.4–35.6 ml · min−1. Conclusion: Although the pharmacokinetics of draflazine were non-linear, the data of the present study demonstrate that draflazine might be administered as a continuous infusion over a longer time period (e.g., 24 h). During a 15-min i.v. infusion of 1 mg, followed by an infusion of 1 mg · h−1, the RBC occupancy of draflazine was 96% or more. As the favored RBC occupancy should be almost complete, this dose regimen could be justified in patients.
