Mean steady-state plasma concentrations of alprenolol were studied in relationship to the degree of beta-blockade, in sixteen patients receiving 600 mg daily in divided doses. Steady-state alprenolol concentrations were determined from the area under the plasma concentration-time curve during one eight-hour dosage interval after treatment for six weeks. Beta-blockade during alprenolol treatment was assessed from the chronotropic response to intravenous isoprenaline compared to the response after six weeks of placebo therapy. Although there was interindividual variability in the mean steady-state alprenolol concentration (range 11 - 141 ng/ml), and in the degree of beta-blockade (7-fold), the correlation between the two variables was highly significant (r = 0.80, p less than 0.001). The prescribed dose of alprenolol (mg/kg) was not significantly correlated with the plasma level of alprenolol or the beta-blockade. The chronotropic effects of isoprenaline during placebo and alprenolol were significantly interrelated (r = 0.79, p less than 0.001).
