Pharmacokinetics of enalapril in normal subjects and patients with renal impairment.

Abstract: 1 The pharmacokinetics of enalaprilat were studied after administration of single and multiple doses of enalapril maleate to people with normal and impaired renal function. 2 Renal impairment was associated with higher serum concentrations of enalaprilat, longer times to peak concentrations, slower decline of serum concentrations and with reduced urinary elimination. Urinary elimination of enalaprilat was closely related to renal function.3 In patients with severe renal impairment (GFR values below 30 ml min7l… Show more

“…The influence of renal insufficiency on the serum profiles of enalapril and enalaprilat has also been investigated (Kelly et al, 1986;Lowenthal et al, 1985). Decreased renal function is associated with increased serum concentration of enalaprilat, increased time to peak concentration, slower decline in serum concentrations and with decreased urinary elimination of the drug (Kelly et al, 1986;Lowenthal et al, 1985). This results in decreased dosage requirements of enalapril maleate.…”

“…Many other ACE inhibitors, either directly acting compounds such as captopril (Giudicelli et al, 1984) and lisinopril (Jackson et al, 1988) or active metabolites of prodrugs such as enalaprilat (Kelly et al, 1986;Lowenthal et al, 1985), ramiprilat (Aurell et al, 1987;Debusmann et al, 1987), cilazaprilat (Shionoiri et al, 1988), alaceprilat (Onoyama et al, 1986) and pentoprilat (Rakhit et al, 1988), as well as the active metabolites of delapril (Onoyama et al, 1988) are mainly cleared by the kidney. Thus, impaired renal function results in higher circulating concentrations of the active drugs, and increased extent and duration of ACE inhibition.…”

“…In renal dysfunction, the clearance of renally-excreted ACE inhibitors is compromised, resulting in undesirable elevation of plasma levels (Kelly et al, 1986;van Schaik et al, 1987), supra-optimal inhibition of ACE and increased potential for adverse reactions. Hence the need for careful monitoring when these compounds are used and, usually, some reduction in dosage or dose interval in patients whose renal function is impaired.…”

“…There have been a number of studies (e.g. Kelly et al, 1986;van Schaik et al, 1987;Shionoiri et al, 1987) showing that plasma levels of ACE inhibitors in current clinical use are elevated in patients with renal impairment, necessitating closer monitoring and possible dose reduction. Thus, renal excretion of ACE inhibitors is potentially disadvantageous.…”
