Theophylline and $\beta$-adrenergic agonists are frequently used together in patients with respiratory diseases. However the clinical impact of $\beta_2$-adrenergic agonists on the blood concentration of theophylline is not fully evaluated. Formoterol, a newly available oral ${\beta}_2$-adrenergic agonist is frequently used in pediatric respiratory patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of oral formoterol on theophylline's blood concentration. Randomized prospective study was conducted. Twenty-four children were enrolled on the study. Their age ranged 2 to 73 months (mean 35.8 months). Theophylline group (12 patients) received 10 mg/kg/day of for theophylline orally. Theophylline/formoterol group (12 patients) received 10 mg/kg/day of theophylline and $4\;{\mu}g/kg/day$ of formoterol orally. All medications were administered at least for 5 days starting on admission day. Theophylline's trough concentrations were obtained on days 3 and day 5. Pulse rates were recorded before the study medications were given on admission, and days 3 and day 5. Statistical significance was calculated by two-tailed Student's t-test. Theophylline's levels in children given theophylline and formoterol together were lower an those given theophylline alone ($6.38\pm0.90\;{\mu}g/ml\;vs\;7.43\pm0.77\;{\mu}g/ml$ on day 3(p<0.05), $5.62\pm0.56\;{\mu}g/ml\;vs.\;6.78\pm0.61\;{\mu}g/ml$ on day 5 (p<0.05)). In both groups, theophylline's trough concentration on day 5 were lower than day 3. There was no significant side effects in both groups. In conclusion, the new ${\beta}_2$ selective adrenergic agonist formoterol reduced serum theophylline levels in children with respiratory diseases. Further investigation is needed to clarify the long term effect of this drug interaction.

In order to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoking on the pharmacokinetics of theophylline in Koreans, doses of 4.5 to 5.0 mg/kg of theophylline, as injectable aminophylline, were administered to 12 normal young volunteers (male, 22 to 35 yrs;mean, 26 yrs) through intravenous infusion over 30 minutes, and pharmacokinetics of theophylline were tested. Among subjects, six were nonsmokers and the other were smokers (range 1 to 2 packs/day). Also the correlations between plasma and saliva theophylline concentrations were investigated by determining the concentrations of theophylline in saliva simultaneously at each plasma sampling time. The total body clearances of theophylline in smokers (Mean${\pm}$SD, 0.0578${\pm}$0.0092 L/hr/kg)were appreciably higher than thoxe of nonsmokers (Mean${\pm}$SD, 0.0359${\pm}$0.0063 L/hr/kg), and the half-lives of theophylline in smokers averaged 5.36${\pm}$1.22hr, and significantly shorter than those of nonsmokers which averaged 9.14${\pm}$1.73hrs(p<0.005). But the apparent volumes of distribution of theophylline did not show any significant difference between smokers (Mean${\pm}$SD,0.44 ${\pm}$0.05L/kg) and nonsmokers (Mean${\pm}$SD, 0.46${\pm}$0.05L/kg). The average concentration ratios in saliva and plasma were 0.61 in smokers and 0.56 in nonsmokers after 2 hrs following drug administrations, and the smoker group had a slightly higher value of ratio(S/P) than the nonsmoker group (p<0.05). The correlations between saliva and plasma theophylline concentration in smokers were r=0.852(p<0.0005) within 2 hr and r=0.985(p<0.0005) after 2 hrs and also those of nonsmokers were r=0.729(p<0.0005) within 2 hrs and r=0.957(p<0.0005) after 2 hrs starting the infusion. From the results, it was found that smoking cigarettes had significantly increased the clearance of theophylline and that the relationships between saliva and plasma theophylline concentrations in all subjects were better after 2 hrs than within 2 hrs starting the infusion of aminophlline.

This study was attempted to investgate the pharmacokinetics of theophylline (4 mg/kg i.v) in the rabbits pretreated with propranolol (1 and 2.5 mg/kg/hr, infusion) for four hours. The plasma concentration and AUC of theophylline were increased in rabbits pretreated with propranolol as compared with those of normal rabbits. The amount of cumulative urinary excretion and renal clearance and total body clearance were decreased in rabbits pretreated with propranolol as compared with those of normal rabbits. The apparent volume of distribution was slightly affected by change of the clearance of theophylline. From the results of this experiment, it is desirable that dosage regimen of theophylline should be adjusted when theophylline combined with propranolol in clinical pharmacy practice.

연구배경: Macrolide란 구조식에 14-number macrocyclic lactone ring을 갖는 항생제를 총칭한다. 최근 개발된 clarythromycin, azythromycin, roxithromycin 등은 기존의 erythromycin에 비하여 소화관 흡수가 용이하고, 반감기가 길며, 위장관 부작용은 덜하면서 몇몇 세균속에 대해서는 더욱 강력한 항균 효과가 있다고 알려져 있다. Erythromycin은 간장의 cytochrome P-450 효소계에 의해 불활성화 되기 때문에, 특히 호흡기 질환 환자에서 사용되는 theophylline의 혈중농도를 증가시켜 theophylline toxicity를 초래할 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 현재까지 new macrolide에 있어서는 이러한 효과에 대해서는 임상 연구가 미미한 실정이다. 방 법: 기관지 천식환자에서 erythromycin (1000mg/day), clarithromycin(500mg/day), azithromycin(500mg/day), roxithromycin(300mg/day) 등을 theophylline(400mg/day)과 경구 복합 투여하여, 투여전, 투여 후 1주 및 4주(azythyromycin은 1주)에 각각 theophylline 혈중 농도와 청소율을 측정하여 혈중 theophylline 농도 및 청소율에 대한 erythromycin과 new macrolides 항생제의 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 결 과: Erythromycin과 roxithromycin 투여군에서는 투여 1주 후부터 유의한 theophylline 혈중농도의 상승을 보였으며 특히, erythromycin 투여군에서는 2예에서 병합 투여를 중지하였다. 이러한 소견은 theophylline 청소율에서도 유사하였으나 1주 및 4주간에는 유의한 상승소견을 보이지 않았다. Clarithromycin, azithromycin 투여군에서는 병합 투여중 유의한 혈중 농도의 상승이나 청소율의 감소 소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 결 론: 이상의 결과로 erythromycin 혹은 roxithromycin 투여 환자에 대하여 theophylline을 동시에 복합 투여하는 경우 혈중 theophylline 농도가 예상보다 증가될 수 있으므로 적절한 주기적 관리가 요할 것으로 사료된다.

Bioequivalence test of $Asthcontin^{\circledR}$ tablet, a commercial slow-release theophylline (TP) dosage form, was performed using $Slo-bid^{\circledR}$ capsule as the reference. Since it has been confirmed that the saliva concentration of TP is closely correlated with the plasma concentration in man, the area under the saliva concentration-time curve was used as a bioavailability parameter. The statistical analysis showed that the two dosage forms are equivalent in bioavailability estimating from the saliva concentration. The results supported that the use of soliva as a test sample provides simple and easy techniques for bioequivalence tests of TP-containing dosage forms.

The object of this work was to study the pharmacokinetic differences and the cause of these differences in cirrhotic rats induced by N,N-dimethylnitrosamine or carbon tetrachloride treatment when aminophylline (8 mg/kg as theophylline, i.v.) was injected. The concentrations of theophylline and its major metabolite (1,3-dimethyluric acid) in plasma were determined by HPLC. In addition, formation of 1,3-dimethyluric acid from theophylline in microsomes was determined. In cirrhotic rats, the systemic clearance of theophylline was reduced to $17\%$ of the control value while AUC (area under the plasma concentration-time curve) and $(t_{1/2})_{\beta}$ were increased to about 6 fold and 10 fold, respectively. The formation of 1,3-dimethyluric acid was decreased to $33-41\%$ of the control value in microsomes of cirrhotic rat liver. From these results, it can be concluded that in cirrhotic rats induced by N,N-dimethylnitrosamine or carbon tetrachloride the total body clearance of theophylline is markedly reduced due to a reduced hepatic metabolism.

Pharmacokinetic interaction of theophylline with pefloxacin following i.v. administrations was investigated in rabbits. Pefloxacin was coadministrated at doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg or previously administered for 6 days 10 and 20 mg/kg. Plasma concentration and AUC of theophylline were increased significantly (p<0.05) and the renal clearance $(CL_r)$, total body clearance $(CL_r)$ and the volume of distribution $(Vd_{ss})$ were decreased significantly (p<0.005) by the pretreatment. It demonstrates that adjustment of dosage regimen of theophylline should be considered when concomitant administration of pefloxacin is prescribed.
