Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of intravenous fenoldopam, a dopamine1‐receptor agonist, in hypertensive patients.

Abstract: 1 The pharmacokinetic properties of intravenous fenoldopam, a selective dopamine1-receptor agonist, were studied in 10 patients with essential hypertension. 2 Reduction in blood pressure was linearly related to the log fenoldopam plasma concentration (r = 0.69) and the log fenoldopam infusion rate (r = 0.71). 3 The mean elimination half-life (± s. e. mean) was 9.8 ± 1.0 min. The total body clearance was 30.3 ± 2.3 ml kg-1 min-' and the volume of distribution was 582 ± 62 ml kg-'. 4 The rapid onset of action, … Show more

“…The oral administration of fenoldopam to normal and hypertensive subjects as well as i. v. infusion to experimental animals and men clearly demonstrate a dose-dependent decrease in blood pressure, an increase in renal blood flow, and in most instances an increase in sodium excretion at lower doses [Hahn et al, 1982;Ventura et al, 1984;Harvey et al, 1986;Murphy 66 Dlewati and Lokhandwala Jose et al, 1987;Weber et al, 1988;White et al, 1988;Hegde et al, 19891. In hypertensive subjects the average infusion rate needed to decrease diastolic and mean blood pressure ranges from 0.25 to 0.5 pg/kg/min [Weber et al, 19881.…”

“…Fenoldopam is rapidly titratable, with an elimination half-life of less than 10 minutes. 85 Fenoldopam has primarily been used in adults for the shortterm treatment of severe hypertension. 86 Some studies have demonstrated favorable hemodynamic responses in adults with New York Heart Association class III-IV heart failure, including improved cardiac index and lower systemic vascular resistance and left ventricular filling pressure.…”
