Stereoselective disposition of talinolol in man

The disposition of the β‐blocking drug talinolol is controlled by P‐glycoprotein in man. Because talinolol is marketed as a racemate, we reevaluated the serum‐concentration time profiles of talinolol of a previously published study with single intravenous (30 mg) and repeated oral talinolol (100 mg...

Description
Summary:The disposition of the β‐blocking drug talinolol is controlled by P‐glycoprotein in man. Because talinolol is marketed as a racemate, we reevaluated the serum‐concentration time profiles of talinolol of a previously published study with single intravenous (30 mg) and repeated oral talinolol (100 mg for 14 days) before and after comedication of rifampicin (600 mg per day for 9 days) in eight male healthy volunteers (age 22–26 years, body weight 67–84 kg) with respect to differences in the kinetic profiles of the two enantiomers S(−) talinolol and R(+) talinolol. Additionally, the metabolism of talinolol in human liver microsomes was examined. After oral administration, S(−) talinolol was slightly less absorbed and faster eliminated than R(+) talinolol. The absolute bioavailabilty of the R(+) enantiomer of talinolol was slightly but significantly higher than of its S(−) enantiomer. Coadministration of rifampicin further intensified this difference in the disposition of R(+) and S(−) talinolol (p
