Tương tác
Increased plasma concentration with CYP2D6 inhibitors [e.g. SSRI (e.g. paroxetine, fluoxetine), TCA, neuroleptics, narcotic analgesics]. May increase risk of toxicity with adriamycin. May potentiate hypoglycaemic effect with anti-diabetics, β-blockers.
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Perhexiline’s exact mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, however, the drug appears to inhibit carnitine palmitoyltransferase, an enzyme responsible for myocardial fatty acid catabolism to glucose, this leads to improved myocardial oxygen utilisation, and anti-ischaemic effects. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Distribution: Crosses blood brain barrier. Plasma protein binding: >90%. Metabolism: Undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism via hydroxylation by CYP2D6 to mono- and dihydroxyperhexilines. Excretion: Via urine; faeces. Elimination half-life: 2-6 days.
