Pharmacokinetics of Three Organic Nitrates in Chinese Healthy Male Volunteers
Summary Eighteen Chinese male subjects completed a single-blind, randomized, three-treatment, three-period, cross-over study. In each treatment phase, subjects received a single dose of 20 mg isosor-bide dinitrate (CAS 87-33-2, ISDN) intravenous infusion, 20 mg isosorbide 5-mononitrate (CAS 16051-77...

Summary: | Summary
Eighteen Chinese male subjects completed a single-blind, randomized, three-treatment, three-period, cross-over study. In each treatment phase, subjects received a single dose of 20 mg isosor-bide dinitrate (CAS 87-33-2, ISDN) intravenous infusion, 20 mg isosorbide 5-mononitrate (CAS 16051-77-7, 5-ISMN) tablet or 20 mg isosorbide 5-mononitrate intravenous infusion. Each consecutive dosing was separated by a washout period of 7 days. Following each dosing, venous blood samples were collected over a period of 16 h. Plasma concentrations of ISDN and its two active metabolites isosorbide 2-mononitrate (2-ISMN), 5-ISMN had been measured by a validated gas chromatographic method.

h, respectively, and the relative bioavailability of 5-ISMN tablet was 105 ± 20 %. As compared with 5-ISMN intravenous infusion, ISDN can rapidly reach the plateau concentration and metabolize to its active metabolites 5-ISMN and 2-ISMN, which both have vasodilator effect. The results of this study suggest that as evaluated from the pharmacokinetic profiles of the three formulations, 5-ISMN tablet and ISDN intravenous infusion are ideal vasodilators and anti-angina drugs especially in acute conditions due to their rapid onset and long duration of action. |
