METABOLIC MANUPULATION OF ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE. A NOVEL APPROACH TO TREATMENT --------Leong Lee , EHJ, 2004
Chronic Angina • A condition that impairs quality of life and is associated with decreased life expectancy • Current major drug therapies • Nitrates • ß-blockers, • Calcium antagonists All these affect HR and BP
Ranolazine • A drug that reduces angina symptoms, with a mechanism of action different from that of currently available pharmacological therapies. • Do not affect HR & BP. Ranolazine was approved on January 27, 2006, in the United States for use in patients with chronic angina who continue to be symptomatic on ß-blockers, calcium antagonists, or nitrates.
Primary Mechanism of Action: Inhibition of Late Na channel NCX: Sodium-calcium exchange Eur Heart J. 2004;6(suppl I):I3–I7.
Mechanism of action • In ischemia, number of late Na channel (I-Na) increases which leads to calcium overload through Na-Ca exchange. • Ranolazine block these late Na channel, and hence prevent the calcium overload which in turn decreases mechanical dysfunction, abnormal contraction and relaxation, and diastolic tension.
Ranolazine (therapeutically conc.up to 10 µmol/L) selectively inhibit late INa (IC50=5 to 21 µmol/L) • No effect on either the fast sodium current responsible for the upstroke of the action potential (IC50 value of 244 µmol/L for peak INa) or the Na+-H+ and Na+-Ca2+ exchangers. Thus, ranolazine is a relatively selective inhibitor for late INa J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther. 2004; 9: S65–S83
Ranolazine & inhibition of various currents • IC50 values for various currents: • Late INa+ 5.9 umol/L • IKr 11.5 umol/L • Late ICa+ 50 umol/L • INa-Ca 91 umol/L • Peak ICa+ 296 umol/L • IKs (17%) 30 umol/L Circulation. 2004;110:904-910
Pharmacokinetics • Food - no effect on Bioavailability The absolute bioavailability - 35% to 50%. Elimination • 80% - by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A enzymes • 10-15% by CYP2D6 • 5% Glucuronidation • 5% Excreted unchanged in Urine. • Elimination half-life • 7 hrs - ER formulation
Drug–Drug Interaction • Diltiazem (≥240 mg daily) - ↑ ranolazine plasma levels - 1.5-fold • Ranolazine has no significant effect on diltiazem pharmacokinetics • Verapamil (≥360 mg daily) - 2.3-fold ↑ in ranolazine plasma levels • Ranolazine increases digoxin concentrations 1.4- to 1.6-fold at trough &2-fold at peak plasma levels • Ranolazine is contraindicated in patients on potent and moderately potent CYP3A inhibitors such as ketoconazole, diltiazem, verapamil, macrolide antibiotics, HIV protease inhibitors, and grapefruit juice
Drug–Drug Interaction • Simvastatin Cmax is ↑ by 2-fold after ranolazine; • Simvastatin - no significant effect on ranolazine pharmacokinetics. • In phase II studies of ranolazine with patients on statin drugs, significant increases in creatine kinase, clinical myositis, or elevated liver function tests have not been reported. • No interactions with warfarin • Antiarrhythmic drugs • Class Ia: quinidine • Class III: dofetilide, sotalol • Certain antipsychotics: Thioridazine, ziprasidone
MonotherapyAssessment of RanolazineIn Stable AnginaMARISA • Patients withdrawn from other anti-anginals(N = 191 randomized) • Randomized, double-blind, 4-period crossover • 1-wk treatment periods • Placebo vs 500, 1000, and 1500 mg bid • Exercise tests after each week of treatment • At trough (12 hr after dosing) • At peak (4 hr after dosing) J Am Coll Cardiol 2004;43:1375-82.
