Pharmacokinetics and haemodynamic effects of a single oral dose of the novel ACE inhibitor spirapril in patients with chronic liver disease

Summary The pharmacokinetics and haemodynamic effects of orally administered spirapril, a novel angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, have been investigated in patients with liver cirrhosis (n=10), in patients with chronic, non-cirrhotic liver disease (n=8) and in a control group of healthy subjects (n=16).The absorption and elimination of spirapril did not differ between patients with liver disease and control subjects. In contrast, the bioavailability of spiraprilat, the metabolite responsible for the pharmacological action of spirapril, was significantly reduced in patients (AUC 820 g·h·l^–1, 923 g·h·l^–1 and 1300 g·h·l^–1 in patients with cirrhosis, patients with non-cirrhotic liver disease and in healthy subjects, respectively.Compared to healthy subjects, cirrhotic patients had a reduced rate constant of spiraprilat formation (1.10 h^–1 in patients vs. 2.00 h^–1 in control subjects) while the elimination half-life of spiraprilat was not different. The effect of spirapril on diastolic blood pressure was decreased in patients with chronic liver disease as compared to the controls.Thus, the pharmacokinetics of spirapril was unchanged in patients with different types of liver disease, including cirrhosis. However, the bioavailability of spiraprilat and hypotensive effect of spirapril were reduced in patients.

A Dutch family with progressive sensorineural hearing impairment linked to the DFNA2 region

We studied a Dutch family with DFNA2-linked progressive sensorineural hearing impairment (SNHI). Recent audiograms were obtained from 18 of the affected persons (age 7–81 years) and were used in a gene-linkage analysis. Linear regression analysis of the audiograms, using binaural mean thresholds, disclosed on average a descending slope of approximately 10 dB/octave at any age and an annual threshold increase at any frequency of about 0.7 dB/year. There may have been substantial congenital impairment at higher frequencies, but longitudinal analysis of hearing impairment in the youngest case, who was followed from age 5 years, suggested that the most significant changes in hearing may have occurred in the first two decades of life. Linkage analysis was carried out with special attention to the DFNA2 region because hearing trends were very similar to families previously linked to DFNA2. Linkage to DFNA2 was established with maximum lod scores of 4.7 and 3.2 for the flanking markers of the DFNA2 region (D1S432;MYCL1). Received: 25 February 1999 / Accepted: 11 June 1999     

Preventive effect of magnesium supplement on noise-induced hearing loss in the guinea pig

The effect of magnesium (Mg) on noise-induced hearing loss was investigated in two groups of adult pigmented guinea pigs maintained either on optimal or suboptimal (physiologically high or low) Mg produced by different diets. The total Mg concentrations of the perilymph (PL), cerebrospinal fluid, blood plasma and red blood cells were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry and were found to differ significantly between the two groups (P < 0.01). One ear of each animal was exposed to either a single shooting impulse at a peak pressure level of 187 dB or two impulse noise series at a rate of 1/s and peak pressure levels of 150 dB (1,000 impulses) and 167 dB (2,280 impulses), respectively. Temporary (TTS) and permanent (PTS) hearing threshold shifts in anesthetized animals were measured 2 h and 1 week after the noise exposure, using auditory brain stem response (ABR) audiometry at a frequency range from 3.75 to 30 kHz. Exposure to the single noise impulse resulted in a mean TTS that was significantly lower in the high Mg group than that in the low Mg group (P < 0.05), although no substantial PTS was observed in either group. In the animals exposed to 150 dB noise, the TTS showed a tendency towards an Mg-related reduction at the higher frequencies. A small difference in PTS was found between the low Mg and high Mg groups, but was not significant. Exposure to the 167-dB noise series caused a considerable TTS, which was significantly lower in the high Mg group at 7.5 and 15 kHz than in the low Mg group (P < 0.05). The mean PTS showed a significant difference between the two Mg groups over the whole frequency range (P < 0.05) and was found to correlate negatively with the total Mg concentrations of both PL and plasma (P < 0.05). Moreover, the high Mg group showed a faster recovery from the hearing threshold shift than the low Mg group. The present findings show that preventive oral Mg supplements can significantly reduce the rate of acoustic trauma caused by high-level impulse noise exposure in the guinea pig.
