[On the possible meproscillarin accumulation in patients with impaired renal function (author's transl)]. 1978

W D Twittenhoff, and W D Brittinger, and D W Deckert, and G G Belz, and I Schubert

26 patients with impaired renal function and 7 healthy subjects received an oral dose of 0.5 mg 14-Hydroxy-3-beta-[(4-O-methyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)oxy]-14beta-bufa-4,20,22-trienolide (meproscillarin, Clift) per day for 2 weeks. Plasma levels of meproscillarin were measured during and after this period by means of the 86Rb-erythrocyte method. No statistically significant differences were found between the 2 groups. The results are consistent with extrarenal elimination of the substance. Contrary to digoxin, e.g., dose reduction is unnecessary in chronic renal failure. Mild gastrointestinal symtpoms were the only side effects seen in 6 patients.

D002301 Cardiac Glycosides Cyclopentanophenanthrenes with a 5- or 6-membered lactone ring attached at the 17-position and SUGARS attached at the 3-position. Plants they come from have long been used in congestive heart failure. They increase the force of cardiac contraction without significantly affecting other parameters, but are very toxic at larger doses. Their mechanism of action usually involves inhibition of the NA(+)-K(+)-EXCHANGING ATPASE and they are often used in cell biological studies for that purpose.
