Pharmacokinetics of lisinopril.

The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, lisinopril, has an oral bioavailability of 25 percent +/- 4 percent, which is unaffected by food. The accumulation half-life averages 12.6 hours despite a terminal serum half-life of approximately 40 hours. Steady state is attained after two daily doses (every 24 hours) in healthy volunteers. The drug is not metabolized but is eliminated via the kidneys. Lisinopril probably undergoes glomerular filtration, tubular secretion, and tubular reabsorption. There is no pharmacokinetic interaction between lisinopril and furosemide.

1. Lisinopril and enalapril were administered as 2.5 mg single doses and as eight single daily 2.5 mg doses to separate groups of six patients with chronic renal failure. Patients were receiving regular haemodialysis. 2. In the absence of haemodialysis, the decline in plasma concentrations of lisinopril and enalaprilat was extremely slow and plasma concentrations were generally high. 3. Haemodialysis had large effects on plasma concentrations of lisinopril and enalaprilat. A 4 h period reduced plasma concentrations of both drugs by around one-half and often by significantly more than this. Even 1 or 2 h of haemodialysis had significant effects. 4. Haemodialysis plasma clearance was similar for both drugs with mean values of the order of 40 ml min-1. Clearance did not markedly differ when measured after 1, 2 or 4 h of haemodialysis or after single or multiple doses of lisinopril or enalapril. 5. The design of dosage regimens of both lisinopril and enalapril for patients with severe renal impairment or chronic renal failure should take into consideration the use and effects of haemodialysis.

Pharmacokinetics of lisinopril (MK521) in healthy young and elderly subjects and in elderly patients with cardiac failure.

The pharmacokinetics of lisinopril were determined in 6 healthy young, 6 healthy elderly and 6 elderly patients with cardiac failure. Lisinopril (5 mg day-1) was administered for 7 days. Plasma lisinopril concentration was measured at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h on days 1 and 7 of the study. The two elderly groups had higher serum lisinopril concentrations than the healthy young subjects (P less than 0.05). There were no significant differences in any of the areas under the curve (AUC) for lisinopril plasma concentration (over time) between the healthy young and healthy elderly groups. The healthy young patients had AUC values on day 7 lower than elderly patients with cardiac failure (P less than 0.01). Creatinine clearance was correlated with lisinopril clearance (r = 0.63; P = 0.006) and with AUC on day 7 (r = -0.67; P = 0.004). Lisinopril clearance was different in the three groups (P less than 0.05): healthy young patients had the highest and elderly patients with cardiac failure the lowest values. Thus, in the elderly a reduced renal clearance of lisinopril leads to higher and more sustained blood levels. In elderly patients with cardiac failure, renal function should be estimated before lisinopril is prescribed as a reduction in dose may be appropriate.
