HUYSMANS of Mediine 1Department of Pharmaokinetis, Rohe, Basle, Switzerland 1 The pharmaokineti and pharmaodynami properties of the angiotensin onverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor ilazapril were studied in 30 hypertensive patients with various degrees of renal funtion. 2 After a single oral dose, apparent ilazaprilat learane was dependent on renal funtion being , , and l l l h 1 (means+ s.d.) in patients with reatinine learanes (CLr) of >100, , 21-40, and 8-20 ml min 1, respetively. 3 During 11 weeks of treatment with ilazapril, doses were adjusted to the CLr and varied from 0.5 to 5.0 mg one daily. At 24 h after drug administration a lear antihypertensive response was seen only in the low learane groups (CLr< 40m l min-1). In ontrast, and despite higher one daily dosages, the deline of mean arterial pressure was small and ilazaprilat onentrations after 24 h were lower in the high learane groups. 4 This study demonstrates that hroni one daily treatment with ilazapril is effetive in patients with impaired renal funtion at dosages adjusted to reatinine learane. No aumulation was seen. Sine ilazaprilat learane was high in the high reatinine learane groups, a lear antihypertensive response in these groups was only seen at 3 h after drug administration.

In patients with normal renal funtion teinuri effets of various dosages of ilazapril as well as their relation to reatinine learane (CLor) and angiotensin onverting enzyme (ACE) inhibition were studied at different times after drug administration. most of the unbound ilazaprilat is rapidly exreted in the first 8 h after drug administration. However, probably due to the high affinity of ilazaprilat for angiotensin onverting enzyme the terminal half-life of Methods this drug is as long as 40 to 50 h [1, 2]. In patients with renal insuffiieny only limited pharmaokineti and pharmaodynami data on hroni ilazaprilat administration are available [3-5]. Therefore, we investigated the pharmaokineti properties of ilazaprilat in hypertensive patients with various degrees of renal Thirty hypertensive patients without other serious ardiovasular disorders and with various but stable levels of renal funtion were seleted.

During the subsequent 4 days, haemodynami and laboratory parameters were assessed at regular intervals. Thereafter, patients were treated during 11 weeks with a single daily dose of ilazapril (see below). Patients were ad vised to adhere to a onstant intake of Control visits were performed at weekly intervals during the first 4 weeks and further at week 7 and 11. sodium (150 mmol day 1) and potassium (60-70 mmol day 1) whih was onfirmed by urinary exretion.

In one patient of group D the study was disontinued at At baseline standard sphygmomanometer supine diastoli blood pressure (BP) was greater than 90mmHg. All other BP and heart rate (HR) measurements were done by automati devies (DINAMAP, Crition In., Tampa, Florida or BOSCH EBM502, Bosh GMBH, Berlin, Germany).

In this patient only results of the single dose part were used for analysis. For determination of ilazaprilat pharmaokinetis individual data were analyzed by non-ompartmental methods [7]. Cilazaprilat peak onentrations (Cmax) and time to peak (imax) were diretly observed from analytial results. Sine the deline of the logarithm of ilazaprilat onentrations is essentially non-linear and may vary hroni treatment, BP and HR were always measured widely [2, 8], alulation of the area under the urve ' / «/ U J l 1 24 h after drug administration at the same time in the morning, with additional measurements 3 h after drug administration at weeks 2 and 4. The dose of ilazapril was inreased after 2 weeks of treatment (see below) if diastoli blood pressure redution 24 h after drug administration was less than 10% or if diastoli blood pressure remained higher than 90 mml-ig. Thus the ilazapril dose was inreased in seven, five, four and four patients of group A, B, C, and D, ref Sine patient numbers were small, data were analyzed to infinity may be unreliable. Therefore, the after the first dose was also alulated by the trapezoidal method to 24 h (AUC(0, 24 h)). Sine dosages of ilazapril were different in the high (AB) and low learane groups (CD), AUC (0, 24 h) and C were normalized to a dose of 1 mg for omparison of the results in the respetive learane groups.

Longer times to peak after lower dosages of ilazapril have also been reported in normal volunteers [2], In addition, the slower exretion of ilazaprilat Disussion in the low learane groups may have ontributed to the longer times to peak. Theoretially, slower intestinal In our patients with normal as well as in those with impaired renal funtion the pharmaokineti data of the absorption of ilazapril in the low learane groups may also explain this differene, but studies with other ACE single dose part were omparable with the results obtained by others [1, 3, 4].

Referenes from time zero to infinity was inaurate and therefore only results of AUC(0, 24 h) are presented here. During hroni treatment ilazaprilat onentrations measured at 24 h were onsiderably lower in the high learane than in the low learane groups, in aordane with previously reported data [4, 5, 11]. Only in patients with a low reatinine learane did the inrease in drug dosage ause an inrease in ilazaprilat onentrations at 24 h. However, no aumulation was seen in these groups. The duration of ACE inhibition was onsiderably longer in patients with more severe renal insuffiieny. The degree of ACE inhibition was losely related to ilazaprilat onentrations, thereby onfirming previous studies [4, 12]. As expeted from onentrations and degree of ACE inhibition a lear antihypertensive effet in all groups of patients was seen at 3 h after drug administration. In agreement with others [13-15], the blood pressure redution at 24 h remained small also after a dose inrease in 12 out of 17 patients of the high learane groups. In ontrast, blood pressure at 24 h was slightly lower after inreasing the dose in eight out of 12 patients with a low renal learane. However, the extent of blood pressure derease should be interpreted with aution sine a plaebo ontrol is laking. In patients with a proteinuria of more than 1 g day-1 ilazapril learly dereased urinary protein exretion by approximately 40%. Comparable antiproteinuri effets have been reported in the literature [5, 17]. Serum reatinine rose steadily only during the treatment in the low learane groups.
