Effects of varying degrees of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetic disposition of nebivolol

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Nebivolol (N) is believed to be a unique cardiovascular agent studied worldwide for the treatment of HTN, CHF and other cardiovascular conditions owing to its vascular endothelial nitric oxide modulating capabilities and its highly selective ␤ 1antagonism. It is extensively metabolized with Ͻ0.1% of unchanged nebivolol excreted in urine. The present study examined what effect, if any, renal impairment has on oral N or its separate enantiomers.METHODS: Twenty-one subjects were divided into 3 renal i… Show more

“…8,9 The pharmacokinetics of nebivolol by CYP2D6 genotype have been previously evaluated [10][11][12][13][14] and reviewed. 17,18 Nebivolol consists of a racemic mix of equal proportions of the enantiomers d-nebivolol and l-nebivolol. Nebivolol is a selective β 1 -blocker with vasodilatory properties approved for the treatment of hypertension.…”

“…Shaw et al . observed a progressive increase in the AUC values of nebivolol as kidney disease progresses. The authors reported AUC values for the isomeric mixture of 6.59 ng.h ml –1 , 4.55 ng.h ml –1 , 11.28 ng.h ml –1 and 23.36 ng.h ml –1 for healthy volunteers and patients with mild, moderate and severe CKD, respectively.…”

“…The oral clearance values observed in the CKD group (508.34 l h –1 for l ‐nebivolol and 691.72 l h –1 for d ‐nebivolol) agree with those obtained by Shaw et al . for patients with moderate CKD who received nebivolol as a racemic mixture (738 l h –1 ). Shaw et al .…”

“…44 Nebivolol does not have to be adjusted in patients with mild and moderate renal impairment. 45 However, a severely impaired patient can expect to experience a 3-to 4-fold increase in exposure levels of nebivolol relative to a normally functioning renal subject after an equal dose of nebivolol, and thus the dosage of nebivolol should be appropriately adjusted in these individuals.…”
