Dilevalol (50 mg) was given orally twice daily for eight days in six healthy subjects. All parameters were obtained following 1st (on day 1) and 15th (on day 8) dosages. Blood samples for plasma drug concentrations were taken for a 12-hour (after 1st dosage) or a 24-hour (after 15th dosage) post-drug period. Blood pressure (BP) as well as heart rate (HR) at supine position, during 50 degrees tilting and during a submaximal exercise were measured after each dosage. The mean time to maximum concentration (tmax) was faster, and the mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) was greater after 15th dosage than following 1st dosage. No significant differences were observed in the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), the distribution half-life (t 1/2 alpha) or the elimination half-life (t 1/2 beta) between the two dosages. BP at supine position as well as during 50 degrees tilting decreased significantly after each dosage, and did not differ between 1st and 15th dosages. Postural changes in BP or HR during 50 degrees tilting were not induced following 1st or 15th dosage. The suppressing effects (%R) on an increase in HR during a submaximal exercise were significantly larger after 15th dosage than after 1st dosage. A significant correlation was observed between plasma dilevalol concentration and %R in HR. These data indicate that the hypotensive effect of dilevalol is not altered during the repeated administration of the drug for 8 days. However, the beta-blocking activity of dilevalol might be enhanced during the repeated dosages, which is, in part, attributed to dosage-dependent elevation in plasma drug concentrations.
