Application of stable isotope methodology to study the pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and metabolism of nitrendipine after i.v. and p.o. administration.

Abstract：

:1. The pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and metabolism of nitrendipine were studied in six healthy volunteers (three females, three males) using [13C4]-nitrendipine as a biological internal standard. In the first study the drug was administered simultaneously by the i.v. [13C4] and p.o. (solution) routes and in a second study two oral preparations (13C4-solution and commercial tablet) were administered, also simultaneously. 2. The mean terminal elimination half-life was 8.3 +/- 3.2 h (range 3.4 to 16 h) with no differences between the intravenous and oral route of administration. Total plasma clearance averaged 18.7 +/- 0.6 ml min-1 kg-1 and volume of distribution at steady state 5.4 +/- 2.4 1 kg-1. 3. Following oral administration of nitrendipine solution the percentage of dose absorbed was 88.4 +/- 16.0% based on urinary excretion of metabolites. Despite its almost complete absorption, absolute bioavailability of the solution was only 22.6 +/- 6.7% due to extensive presystemic elimination. The bioavailability of the commercial tablet relative to the solution was 82.2 +/- 20.3%. 4. Both after i.v. and oral administration the drug was extensively metabolized with less than 0.5% of the dose excreted as unchanged drug in urine. Cleavage of the two ester functions in position 3 and 5, respectively, to carboxylic acids and further hydroxylation of the methyl groups in position 2 and 6 of the pyridine ring to the corresponding hydroxymethyl carboxylic acids constituted the major urinary metabolites accounting for 35.0 +/- 16.5% (i.v.) and 32.8 +/- 20.4% (p.o.), respectively, of the dose administered. 5. Binding of nitrendipine to plasma proteins was high with a fraction unbound of only 0.02 +/- 0.012 (range 0.011 to 0.036).
