Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Nicardipine is a type of calcium channel blocker that is commonly used in the treatment of angina pectoris, hypertension, and related cardiovascular disorders. This systematic review assesses the reported pharmacokinetic (PK) and associated pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of nicardipine in humans.
AREAS COVERED
An exhaustive literature search using four internet databases was conducted up to 5 October 2023, which yielded 871 papers, of which 32 fulfilled the eligibility requirements by including human PK and related PD data. The area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of nicardipine rise proportionately with increasing dosage. One study revealed that AUC0-∞ of nicardipine was increased by 5-fold in hepatic cirrhosis patients compared to the control subjects. Moreover, related PD data in renal-impaired hypertensive patients revealed that a notable reduction in blood pressure was associated with nicardipine administration.
EXPERT OPINION
This review covers comprehensive data on clinical PK, drug-drug interaction studies, effects of dosage form on ADME, and associated PD parameters of nicardipine using all relevant published studies. The present study will also aid in the development and evaluation of PK models for suggesting model-informed dosing regimens.
PROSPERO NUMBER
CRD42024533051.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology (ISSN 1742-5255 [print], 1744-7607 [electronic]) is a MEDLINE-indexed, peer-reviewed, international journal publishing review articles on all aspects of ADME-Tox. Each article is structured to incorporate the author’s own expert opinion on the scope for future development.
The Editors welcome:
Reviews covering metabolic, pharmacokinetic and toxicological issues relating to specific drugs, drug-drug interactions, drug classes or their use in specific populations; issues relating to enzymes involved in the metabolism, disposition and excretion of drugs; techniques involved in the study of drug metabolism and toxicology; novel technologies for obtaining ADME-Tox data.
Drug Evaluations reviewing the clinical, toxicological and pharmacokinetic data on a particular drug.
The audience consists of scientists and managers in the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacologists, clinical toxicologists and related professionals.
