Single-dose pharmacokinetics of temocapril and temocapril diacid in subjects with varying degrees of renal impairment.
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of renal impairment on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of temocapril and its pharmacologically active metabolite, temocapril diacid.. A single oral dose of 20 mg temocapril hydrochloride was given after an overnight fast to eight healthy (control) subjects (group A, n = 8) with a mean baseline creatinine clearance (CLCR) of 115.2 ml.min-1 and to three groups of patients with decreased renal function (mean CLCR 56.9 ml in group B, n = 8, 30.0 ml.min-1 in group C, n = 8 and 15.4 ml.min-1 in group D, n = 5).. The mean peak concentration and median time to peak concentration for both temocapril and its diacid metabolite as well as the man area under the curve (AUC0-infinity) for temocapril did not differ significantly between groups. The mean AUC0-infinity for temocapril diacid increased only two- to threefold from group A to D. The mean terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) for temocapril diacid was prolonged in subjects with impaired renal function. However, prolongation of mean t1/2 and increase in AUC0-infinity did not parallel the decrease of mean renal clearance for temocapril diacid.. The results suggest the existence of an alternative pathway in addition to the renal excretion of temocapril, e.g. via the bile. This pathway substantially contributes to the elimination of the active metabolite, temocapril diacid, in patients with decreased renal function. Nonetheless, to avoid any risks, the dose of temocapril hydrochloride in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment should be reduced.

Pharmacokinetics of temocapril and enalapril in patients with various degrees of renal insufficiency.
Temocapril is a novel ACE inhibitor that is cleared via dual excretion routes in humans. Borderline or mildly hypertensive patients with normal renal function [group 1, creatinine clearance (CLCR) > 70 ml/min (4.2 L/h), n = 12], moderate renal impairment [group 2, CLCR 30 to 70 ml/min (1.8 to 4.2 L/h), n = 12] or severe renal impairment [group 3, CLCR < 30 ml/min (1.8 L/h), n = 12] received a single oral dose of either temocapril 1 mg (n = 6, each group) or enalapril 5mg (n = 6, each group). These 2 drugs gave similar values for the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of the active diacids. The maximum plasma concentration of enalapril diacid was increased 2- and 6-fold in moderate and severe renal impairment, respectively, whereas that of temocapril diacid was not altered. The AUC of enalapril diacid increased 13-fold at CLCR values < 30 ml/min, but that of temocapril diacid increased only 2-fold. The duration of plasma ACE inhibition due to enalapril was greatly prolonged by the impairment of renal function, whereas that due to temocapril was affected very little. Urinary recovery of temocapril diacid was decreased markedly in patients with severe renal dysfunction, most probably because the diacid was excreted through the biliary route. On the other hand, urinary recovery of enalapril diacid remained fairly high even in patients with severe renal impairment, because of extremely high plasma diacid concentrations resulting from the lack of biliary excretion. These observations suggest that temocapril is beneficial in the treatment of hypertension in patients with severely impaired renal function.

Pharmacokinetics of temocapril hydrochloride, a novel angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, in renal insufficiency.
The pharmacokinetics of temocapril hydrochloride, a novel prodrug-type angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, has been studied in patients with mild (Group II) to severe (Group III) renal insufficiency in comparison with subjects with normal renal function (Group I). The pharmacokinetic parameters of the active diacid metabolite, including Cmax, AUC and half-life (t1/2), showed only slight changes between the three groups: AUC (0-inaffinity) was significantly larger in Group III than Group I, and t1/2 tended to be prolonged in Group III, but the change was not significant. The urinary recovery of the diacid was significantly decreased in Group III. (Group I, 28.1%, Group II, 21.6%, Group III, 12.8%). Compared with other ACE inhibitors, which are mainly excreted through the kidney, the plasma concentration of the active diacid metabolite was hardly influenced by renal function. It was speculated that lowering of the dose of temocapril might be recommended only in patients with severe renal insufficiency.
