PHARMACOKINETICS OF ATRACURIUM AND LAUDANOSINE IN THE ELDERLY 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The pharmacokinetics of a bolus dose of atracurium 0.6 mg kg1and its metabolite laudanosine were studied in 11 elderly (meanage 80.9 yr) and 10 young patients (mean age 23.8 yr) undergoingelective surgery. The elimination half-'life (Tß)of atracurium was significantly longer in the elderly group(23.1 v. 20.1 min), but there was no significant differencebetween the two groups in clearance (Cl), the volume of distribution(Vß) or the mean residence time (MRT) of atracurium.Laudanosine Tß was also significantly longer (229.1v. 173.1 min) and the clearance significantly slower (4.85 v.7.29 ml min1 kg1) in the elderly. There was, however,no significant difference in Vß for laudanosine betweenthe two groups. These data suggest that atracurium depends toa small extent on the liver or the kidney for its metabolismand excretion, and that, as these routes of excretion are lessefficient in the elderly, Tß is prolonged in thisage group. The deteriorating function of these organs with increasingage may also explain the altered pharmacokinetics of laudanosine.

The pharmacokinetics of atracurium, which is degraded by Hofmanndecomposition and ester hydrolysis, is not altered by impairedliver function. Atracurium should, therefore, be ideal for patientswith hepatic failure, and is now widely used in clinical practice.However, some studies reported considerable hepatotoxicity afteratracurium, especially from its breakdown productsforexample, leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from isolatedrat hepatocytes. Therefore, we have studied, in an isolatedperfused rat liver model, biochemical and morphological changesafter administration of either atracurium or its main metabolite,laudanosine. Despite using extremely high concentrations ofthese substances, we could not detect, biochemically (releaseof LDH or aspartate amino-transferase (AST)) or histologically,any signs of liver cell damage. 相似文献

The pharmacokinetic profiles of atracurium and one of its derivatives,laudanosine were studied following an i.v. bolus of atracurium0.6 mg kg1 administered to eight patients with hepaticcirrhosis and to seven healthy controls. The central volumeof distribution of atracurium was greater in the patients withcirrhosis (104.6 ml kg1) compared with the controls (69.6ml kg1) (P < 0.05), as was the total volume of distribution(281.8 ml kg1 and 202.1 ml kg1, respectively)(P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the eliminationhalf-life of atracurium between the two groups. The total volumeof distribution of laudanosine was increased in cirrhotic patients(2.68 litre kg1) compared with healthy controls (1.97litre kg1) (P < 0.05), as was its elimination half-life(277 min in cirrhotic individuals; 168 min in controls) (P <0.05). There was no significant difference in the clearanceof laudanosine between the two groups. 相似文献

We examined the effects of atracurium and its breakdown product,laudanosine, on resting and stimulation-evoked release of 3H-noradrenaline(3H-NA) from sympathetic axon terminals of isolated right atriaof guineapigs. Both atra-curium 1100 µmol litre1and laudanosine 150 µmol litre1 enhancedthe release of 3H-NA evoked by field stimulation (2 Hz, 24 stimuli),but did not affect resting release. When the production of laudanosinefrom atracurium was inhibited by maintaining the atracuriumsolution at 4 °C, atracurium did not enhance the releaseof 3H-NA as occured when it was kept at 37 °C. However,atracurium antagonized the inhibitory effect of oxotremorineon release of 3H-NA, whereas laudanosine did not. These datasuggest that atracurium possesses and antimuscarinic effect.Its metabolite, laudanosine, in concentrations which would beexpected following prolonged administration of atracurium, produceda marked increase in release of 3H-NA. This effect of laudanosinemay explain some of the unwanted effects seen following administrationof atracurium. 相似文献

CONCENTRATIONS OF ATRACURIUM AND LAUDANOSINE IN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID AND PLASMA DURING INTRACRANIAL SURGERY 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
EDDLESTION J. M.; HARPER N. J. N.; POLLARD B. J.; EDWARDS D.; GWINNUTT C. L. 《British journal of anaesthesia》1989,63(5):525-530
Concentrations of atracurium and laudanosine in cerebrospinalfluid (CSF) and plasma were assayed in nine patients receivingatracurium infusions of 111251 min duration to maintainneuromuscular block during intracranial surgery. The total doseof atracurium was 1.572.60 mg kg1 and the plasmaconcentration of atracurium was 1.275.44 µg ml1.Concentrations of laudanosine in CSF and plasma increased duringthe infusion period, and after 125140 min reached meansof 202.5 ng ml1 and 1448.7 ng ml1, respectively.The highest recorded concentration of laudanosine in CSF was570 ng ml1, in one of two CSF samples found to containatracurium. After operation, two patients had fits, but thesewere not thought to be related to laudanosine. It is concludedthat during infusion of atracurium, laudanosine accumulatesin both plasma and CSF. 相似文献

CONCENTRATIONS OF ATRACURIUM AND LAUDANOSINE IN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID AND PLASMA IN THREE INTENSIVE CARE PATIENTS 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
GWINNUTT C. L.; EDDLESTON J. M.; EDWARDS D.; POLLARD B. J. 《British journal of anaesthesia》1990,65(6):829-832
We have measured concentrations of atracurium and laudanosinein cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in three intensive carepatients receiving atracurium infusions of 22.5106 hduration to maintain neuromuscular block. Two patients had sufferedsevere closed head injuries and the third patient had developedrespiratory failure following the clipping of two intracranialaneurysms. The total dose of atracurium given was 14.3136.6mg kg1; rate of infusion was 0.61.38 mg kg1h1. Plasma concentrations of atracurium and laudanosinewere 0.733.11 µg ml1 and 0.488.65µg ml1, respectively; CSF concentration of laudanosinewas 70440 ng ml1. No adverse effects attributableto these concentrations of laudanosine were observed. 相似文献

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AND PLASMA LAUDANOSINE CONCENTRATIONS DURING THE INFUSION OF ATRACURIUM IN THE INTENSIVE THERAPY UNIT 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
YATE P. M.; FLYNN P. J.; ARNOLD R. W.; WEATHERLY B. C.; SIMMONDS R. J.; DOPSON T. 《British journal of anaesthesia》1987,59(2):211-217
Twenty patients in the intensive care unit received an infusionof atracurium to permit mechanical ventilation. The durationof infusion ranged from 38 to 219 h and the average rate ofinfusion during the study was 0.76 mg kg1 h1.In 14 patients an increase in atracurium requirement occurredwithin the first 72 h of the infusion. Recovery from neuromuscularblockade after a prolonged infusion was sufficiently rapid toavoid pharmacologically induced reversal. In six patients maximumplasma concentrations of laudanosine were 1.95 µgml1 and there was no evidence of cerebral excitation. 相似文献

PRODUCTION OF LAUDANOSINE FOLLOWING INFUSION OF ATRACURIUM IN MAN AND ITS EFFECTS ON AWAKENING 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BEEMER G. H.; BJORKSTEN A. R.; DAWSON P. J.; CRANKSHAW D. P. 《British journal of anaesthesia》1989,63(1):76-80
Twenty patients were given maximal doses of atracurium or vecuroniumby infusion during surgery. Anaesthesia was maintained withan infusion of thiopentone, nitrous oxide and fentanyl. In patientsadministered atracurium, the plasma laudanosine concentrationat cessation of surgery was 0.34 (SD 0.22) µg ml1;there was little tendency to cumulate during operation. A 20%higher arterial concentration of thiopentone was found at awakeningin patients given atracurium, suggesting CNS stimulation bylaudanosine, although the effect is too modest to be of clinicalsignificance. 相似文献

DISPOSITION OF INFUSIONS OF ATRACURIUM AND ITS METABOLITE, LAUDANOSINE, IN PATIENTS IN RENAL AND RESPIRATORY FAILURE IN AN ITU 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
A study of plasma atracurium and laudanosine concentrationswas undertaken in 14 critically ill patients who received abolus dose of atracurium 0.6 mg kg1 followed by an infusionof 0.6mg kg1 h1 for a period of 1147 h.Seven of the patients had normal renal function and seven werein acute renal failure. In both groups plasma concentrationsof atracurium reached a plateau of approximately 1300 ng ml1within30 min of the bolus dose. The drug disappeared from the plasmawithin 120 min after discontinuation of the infusion. Therewas no difference between the two groups with respect to thepharmacokinetic parameters derived for atracurium. In the patientswith normal renal function, plasma laudanosine concentrationreached a plateau of apprpximately 1200ng ml1 within10h. In patients with renal failure there was a greater variationin the plasma laudanosine concentration: the highest value recordedwas 4300 ng ml1. Patients with renal failure had a significantlylonger mean elimination half-life for laudanosine (1418 minv. 375min; P < 0.05) and Vd (4.52 litre kg1 v. 240litre kg1; P < 0.01) than the patients with normalrenal function.

CEREBROSPINAL FLUID CONCENTRATIONS OF LAUDANOSINE AFTER ADMINISTRATION OF ATRACURIUM 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
FAHEY M. R.; CANFELL P. CLAVER; TABOADA T.; HOSOBUCHI Y.; MILLER R. D. 《British journal of anaesthesia》1990,64(1):105-106
The concentration of laudanosine in cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF)was measured in four patients undergoing brain electrode placementafter the administration of atracurium. CSF: plasma laudanosineconcentration ratios ranged from < 1 to 14%, with a rangeof CSF laudanosine concentration of <214 ng ml1.One patient had no detectable laudanosine in CSF, but samplingin this patient was possible for only 30 min. There was no atracuriumdetectable in the CSF of any patient. We conclude that laudanosinecrosses the blood-brain barrier and further study of its centralnervous system effects in man is warranted. 相似文献

MODIFICATION BY DRUGS USED IN ANAESTHESIA OF CNS STIMULATION INDUCED IN MICE BY LAUDANOSINE AND STRYCHNINE 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have investigated in mice the effects of several drugs whichmay be administered as part of an anaesthetic technique on theconvulsive threshold to laudanosine and to strychnine, whichis reported to have a similar mechanism of action, l.v. administeredpropofol, thiopentone and midazolam increased the dose of convulsantnecessary to produce seizure when administered 2 min beforethe convulsive stimulus. In contrast, methohexitone and etomidateexhibited a pro-convulsant effect, although with the latterthis was significant only in laudanosine-treated mice. Pethidinewas proconvusant in both laudanosine- and strychnine-treatedmice, but morphine was proconvusant only in strychnine-treatedmice. The effects of morphine, but not pethidine, were antagonizedby naloxone 1 mg kg1. Laudanosine, but not strychninecaused arousal from anaesthesia in subconvulsive doses. Thisand other evidence suggests that the mechanism of the CNS excitationproduced by strychnine and laudanosine are not the same.

Maternal venous (MV), umbilical venous (UV) and umbilical arterial(UA) blood samples were obtained for assay of atracurium, laudanosineand monoquaternary alcohol concentrations in 22 healthy patientsundergoing elective Caesarean section under general anaesthesia.At delivery (at a mean time of 8.2 min after atracurium 0.3mg kg1), the mean UV concentrations were 103 ng ml1(range 44189 ng ml1) for atracurium, 26 ng ml1(range 660 ng ml1) for laudanosine and 59 ng ml1(range 21148 ng ml1) for monoquaternary alcohol.The ratios of UV: MV, UA:MV and UA:UV blood concentrations wererelated positively to time since injection of atracurium forall three substances (P < 0.01 in each instance). The UV:MVratio at delivery was greatest for laudanosine: mean 19.4% (range1-35%), compared with 7% (range 2-21%) for atracurium and 10%(range 0-15%) for monoquaternary alcohol. These low values confirmthat, although atracurium crosses the placental barrier andits metabolites may be found in the fetus, the drug is safeto use during Caesarean section. 相似文献

PHARMACOKINETICS OF ATRACURIUM DURING CONTINUOUS INFUSION 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The pharmacokinetics of atracurium were investigated by a model-independentmethod during continuous infusion under propofol anaesthesia.Following an intubating dose of suxamethonium, atracurium wasinfused according to a predetermined profile which continuallyset the infusion rate to maintain stable muscle paralysis anda target steady state plasma concentration when equilibriumbetween the bio-phase and plasma had occurred. Atracurium wasinfused for the first 1 h to maintain a target steady stateplasma concentration of 1.0 µg ml1. Thereafter,the target plasma concentration was adjusted to maintain 90%muscle paralysis. The maintenance infusion rate required tomaintain 90% paralysis was 4.25 (SD) 1.11 µg kg1min1, with an estimated steady state plasma concentrationof atracurium required to maintain 90% paralysis (CpSS 90) of1.13 (0.24) µg ml1. The clearances of atracurium,estimated by the constant infusion rate required to maintainthe steady state plasma concentration, at 5060 min andduring estimation of CpSS 90 were 3.8 (1.0) and 3.9 (1.1) mlkg1 min1 (ns), respectively. The volume of distributionat steady state of atracurium after 1 h of infusion, calculatedusing the clearance and the area under the plasma concentration-timecurve to 1 h, was 130 (50) ml kg1. These estimates ofthe pharmacokinetic parameters of atracurium are markedly differentfrom those derived from pharmacokinetic analysis of single bolusdose data. Normalization of the pharmacokinetic parameter estimatesby lean body mass decreased interpatient variability and improvedprecision in comparison with the un-weighted data and normalizationby total body weight. 相似文献

In this double-blind study, we have allocated randomly 40 ASAI-III patients to one of four groups. After a standard anaestheticinduction, patients received vecuronium 0.08 mg kg1 or0.10 mg kg1, or atracurium 0.4 mg kg1 or 0.5 mgkg1. Using an electromyogram (Datex Relaxograph) thetrain-of-four (TOF) response was measured during onset of andrecovery from neuromuscular block. A greater degree of fadeof TOF was observed with atracurium during onset of neuromuscularblock than with equivalent doses of vecuronium. During recoveryof neuromuscular transmission, vecuronium was associated withmore fade than atracurium. The differences in the TOF profilesof these two drugs may be important when judging the adequacyof antagonism of neuromuscular block using the TOF response. 相似文献

Antagonism of atracurium-induced neuromuscular blockade withneustigmine (one or two doses of 2.5 mg) was compared, usingelectromyography, with spontaneous recovery. Two levels of blockadewere studied, one in which the initial response of the train-of-fourhas reached 10% of control and the other 50% of control. Adequaterecovery was considered to be present when the ratio of thefourth response to the first (train-of-four ratio) had reached70%. Neostigmine always accelerated recovery and "neostigmineblock" was not detected. This acceleration of recovery afterneostigmine was most marked with the greater degree of blockade,but two doses of neostigmine were no more effective than one.Spontaneous recovery to the train-of-four ratio of 70% was slow,in the order of 1 h after an initial dose of 0.5 mg kg1and 45 min after incremental doses of 0.2 mg kg1. Itis concluded that antagonism of atracurium with one dose ofneostigmine is usually desirable, that two doses are unnecessary,and that spontaneous recovery is slower than is generally realized.

The duration of recovery from neuromuscular block after a 3x ED90 dose of atracurium or vecuronium is similar in spiteof a three-fold difference in their elimination half-lives.We have investigated simultaneous spontaneous recovery fromequipotent doses of atracurium and vecuronium in the isolatedforearms of volunteers in order to attempt to explain this paradox.Simultaneous administration of the two drugs, one in each ofthe subject's forearms, allowed direct comparison of recoveryto be made against the same plasma concentration of drug. Therecovery index of atracurium was found to be significantly longerthan that of vecuronium. We suggest that this observation, whenconsidered with the different plasma concentrations after a3xED90 dose, helps to explain the similar duration of actionof the two drugs during the recovery phase after a large systemicbolus.

Atracurium was incubated in 0.9% sodium chloride solution atpH 7.4 and 37 °C. The following compounds were added tothe incubation solution: propionic acid, alanine and cysteine(0.1 mol litre1 final concentration). Metocurinewas also incubated with cysteine under identical conditions.Aliquots of the incubation solutions were injected i.v. to anaesthetizedrats at the start (0 min) and at the end of incubation (45 min),and the indirectly elicited, single twitches of the gastrocnemiusmuscle were observed. Whereas inactivation of atracurium proceededslowly in the control solution and in the presence of sodiumpropion-ate, the presence of alanine and, especially, of cysteinemarkedly enhanced the inactivation. Incubation of metocurinewith cysteine did not alter the pharmacological responses. Theconcentration of cysteine decreased progressively during itsincubation with atracurium (37 °C, pH 7.4). We concludethat the data are compatible with the postulate that a nucleophilemay enhance the degradation of atracurium by a reaction withthe parent compound (nucleophilic substitution reaction), byreaction with acrylates (Michael addition) or both. 相似文献

We have investigated the effect of a bolus injection of atracurium0.6mg kg1 on the cardiovascular system in 16 patientsundergoing aortocoronary bypass surgery. H1- and H2-receptorantagonists were administered to eight patients before the neuromuscularblocker. A standard anaesthetic was used comprising fentanyl,flunitrazepam, etomidate and enflurane. After administrationof atracurium, haemodynamic changes and plasma histamine concentrationswere measured at frequent intervals. In the first group, whoreceived only atracurium, a brief but marked decrease in SVRand MAP occurred, accompanied by an increase in Cl, togetherwith a marked increase in plasma concentration of histamine.In the second group, who received H1 and H2-receptor block,there was no decrease in MAP and only a small increase in plasmahistamine concentration. However, there were significant changesin SVR and Cl similar to those in the atracurium group. 相似文献
