โฆ Synopsis
Verapamil is a chiral calcium channel blocking drug which is useful clinically as the racemate in treating hypertension and arrhythmia. The published pharmacokinetic data for verapamil enantiomers in the rat model are limited. Utilizing a stereospeciยฎc highperformance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay, the enantiomeric disposition of verapamil is reported after intravenous (1ยด0 mg kg 71 ) and oral (10 mg kg 71 ) administration of racemic verapamil to the rat model. After intravenous administration the systemic clearance of R-verapamil was signiยฎcantly greater than that of S-verapamil; 34ยด97 against 23ยด73ยด7 mL min 71 kg 71 (meanSD), respectively. After oral administration, the clearance of R-verapamil was signiยฎcantly greater than that of Sverapamil, 889294 against 351109 mL min 71 kg 71 , respectively. The apparent oral bioavailability of S-verapamil was greater than that of R-verapamil, 0ยด0740ยด031 against 0ยด0410ยด011, respectively. These data suggest that the disposition of verapamil in the rat is stereoselective; verapamil undergoes extensive stereoselective ยฎrst-pass clearance after oral administration and the direction of stereoselectivity in plasma is opposite to that observed in the human. &1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
