Antihypertensive effect of diacetolol in essential hypertension.

Abstract: 1 Diacetolol is the N‐acetylated metabolite of acebutolol and possesses beta‐adrenergic receptor blocking properties. 2 Its antihypertensive action was assessed in accordance with a double‐blind randomised cross‐ over scheme in 17 patients with moderate essential hypertension previously well controlled with acebutolol. 3 Significant reductions in lying mean arterial blood pressure were observed with daily doses of 200 mg (‐ 9%), 400 mg (‐ 10%) and 800 mg (‐ 14%), and were associated with significant decreases … Show more

“…After the oral dose, peak plasma levels were obtained at approximately 2 h, with an initial elimination half-life of about 3 hours and a terminal elimination half-life of about 15 hours (Gulaid, 1981). An active metabolite, diacetolol (Thibonnier, 1982), has been identified with higher blood levels and slower clearance than the parent compound.…”
