Pharmacokinetics of Diltiazem and its Major Metabolite, Deacetyldiltiazem after Oral Administration of Diltiazem in Mild and Medium Folate-Induced Renal Failure Rabbits

  • Published : 2001.08.01

Abstract

The pharmacokinetic changes of diltiazem (DTZ) and its main metabolite, deacetyldiltiazem (DAD) were studied after oral administration of DTZ to normal rabbits and mild and medium folate-induced renal failure rabbits. DTZ 10 mg/kg was given to the rabbits either orally (n=6). Plasma concentrations of DTZ and DAD were determined by a high performance liquid chromatography assay. The area under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration ($C_{max}$) of DTZ were significantly increased in mild and medium folate-induced renal failure rabbits. The metabolite ratio of the DTZ to DAD were significantly decreased in mild and medium folate-induced renal failure rabbits. The volume of distribution ($V_{d}$) and total body clearance ($CL_{t}$) of DTZ were significantly decreased in mild and medium folate-induced renal failure rabbits. The elimination rate constant ($\beta$) of DTZ was significantly decreased in folate-induced renal failure rabbits, but that of DAD was significantly increased. These findings suggest that the hepatic metabolism of DTZ was inhibited and the $V_{d}$, $CL_{t}$ and $\beta$ of DTZ were significantly decreased in mild and medium folate-induced renal failure rabbits.
