摘要
The pharmacokinetics of ketanserin and its main metabolite ketanserin-ol, and the anithypertensive effects of intravenous, single oral and chronic oral (40 mg once daily) administration of ketanserin, have been investigated in a single blind study of 10 patients with uncomplicated mild hypertension. Ketanserin had a terminal half-life of 29.2 h, a plasma clearance of 518 ml/min and a volume of distribution of 18.0 l/kg. Chronic oral intake of 40 mg ketanserin (tablet formulation) gave a peak concentration of unchanged ketanserin of 88 ng/ml after 1.1 h. Its absolute bioavailability was 48%. During chronic therapy the maximal concentration of ketanserin-ol was 208 ng/ml and its half-life of elimination was 35.0 h. As this metabolite can be oxidized back to ketanserin, it contributes to the prolonged half-life of unchanged ketanserin seen during chronic therapy. The blood pressure was reduced by approximately 15% by oral ketanserin. The maximal reduction in blood pressure coincided with the peak concentration of unchanged ketanserin. During chronic therapy with 40 mg once daily blood pressure was reduced over 24 h. The heart rate was slightly reduced and the cardiovascular responses and the plasma noradrenaline concentrations during isometric exercise were only slightly influenced by ketanserin therapy. Thus, unchanged ketanserin has a relatively long half-life during chronic oral therapy and its pharmacokinetics in middle-aged hypertensive patients is similar to that in normal young volunteers.
