The present study aimed to investigate the effect of clopidogrel (CLO) on pharmacokinetics of ivabradine (IVA) and its metabolite in rats and develop a reliable method to determine IVA and its metabolite N-demethyl ivabradine in serum. Healthy male SD rats were randomized to be given 0.8 mg/kg IVA or IVA combined with 8 mg/kg CLO. Blood samples were collected at 0.083, 0.16, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 h after administration. The serum concentrations of IVA and N-demethyl ivabradine were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using DASver3.0 software. The parameters of AUC(0 - t), AUC(0 - ∞), and Cmax for IVA in the group of IVA + CLO were significantly higher than those in the group of IVA (p < 0.01); the half-time (t1/2) in the IVA + CLO group was extended compared to IVA (p < 0.01) and CL/F was dropped obviously (p < 0.01). The decreases in AUC(0 - t), AUC(0 - ∞), and Cmax for N-demethyl ivabradine in the group of IVA + CLO was significantly compared to the group of IVA (p < 0.01). CL/F was higher than IVA (p < 0.01) and the t1/2 was slightly increased. In this study, we find that CLO restrains the metabolism of IVA into N-demethyl ivabradine, which may be related to its competitive inhibition effect on cytochrome P450 isoform 3A4(CYP3A4).

Therapeutic drugs, whose bioactivity is hindered by a photoremovable cage, offer the advantage of spatiotemporal confinement of their action to the target diseased tissue with improved bioavailability and efficacy. Here, we have applied such an approach to ivabradine (IVA), a bradycardic agent indicated for angina pectoris and heart failure, acting as a specific HCN channel blocker. To overcome the side effects due to its poor discrimination among HCN channel subtypes (HCN1-4), we prepared a caged version of IVA linked to a photocleavable bromoquinolinylmethyl group (BHQ-IVA).

Background: We describe a case of symptomatic bradycardia resulting from ivabradine toxicity by measurement of ivabradine levels, of which there are limited reports in the literature.

Case Presentation: A 43-year-old White female presented with several days of near syncope and dizziness accompanied by a drop in her heart rate to 50 beats per minute. She was taking ivabradine for inappropriate sinus tachycardia.

Development and validation of a LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of Ivabradine and Metoprolol in rat plasma.

J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods

The combination of Ivabradine (IVA) and Metoprolol (MET) was approved by US-FDA for symptomatic treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris. Hence, a potential analytical method that can simultaneously quantify these two drugs is required. In view of this, a novel and fully validated LC-ESI-MS/MS method has been established for the quantification of IVA and MET in rat plasma.

Purpose: Ivabradine hydrochloride is selective pacemaker current (I) ion channel inhibitor used in case of chronic heart failure (CHF) with superior efficacy and lower side effects than most β-blockers. However, the drug suffers from low bioavailability (≈40%) due to extensive first-pass metabolism. Hence, this work aims to formulate nanovesicular platforms to enhance their bioavailability both orally and transdermally.

In this work, the aim of our study was to assess whether sesamin could influence the pharmacokinetics of ivabradine and its active metabolite N-desmethylivabradine in rats. At the begining, 12 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups: The rats were received an oral administration of 1.0mg/kg ivabradine alone (the control group), and the rats were given 1.
