title: Pharmacokinetics of isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide-2-nitrate and isosorbide-5-nitrate in renal insufficiency after repeated oral dosage.
abstract: The pharmacokinetics of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) and its two active metabolites isosorbide-2-nitrate (IS-2-N) and isosorbide-5-nitrate (IS-5-N) were studied in 20 patients with normal and impaired renal function after repeated oral doses of standard 20 mg tablets ISDN t.i.d. Blood samples were taken in the steady-state on days 2 and 14, and the plasma concentrations were measured by electron capture capillary gas chromatography. We found a wide variation of pharmacokinetic parameters (AUCss0-8 and t1/2) of ISDN, IS-2-N, and IS-5-N in our patients. No correlation was detected between AUCss0-8 or t1/2 and the degree of renal insufficiency. No drug accumulation was observed after 14 days of administration.
