The most common adverse cardiovascular effect noted with IV diltiazem is symptomatic or asymptomatic hypotension, which occurred in 3.2 or 4.3%, respectively, of patients receiving the drug in clinical trials. Hypotension or postural hypotension also was noted in approximately 1% or less of patients receiving oral diltiazem. If symptomatic hypotension occurs, appropriate therapy (e.g., placement of the patients in the Trendelenburg's position, plasma volume expansion) should be initiated. Hypotension occurred secondary to the vasodilating action of diltiazem on vascular smooth muscle. Vasodilation or flushing occurred in 1.7% of patients receiving IV diltiazem and in approximately 1% or less of patients receiving oral diltiazem in clinical trials.

**Oral** Indicated for the management of hypertension, to lower blood pressure, alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. Indicated for use to improve exercise tolerance in patients with chronic stable angina. Indicated for the management of variant angina (Prinzmetal's angina). **Intravenous** Indicated for the short-term management of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter for temporary control of rapid ventricular rate. Indicated for the rapid conversion of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias (PSVT) to sinus rhythm. This includes AV nodal reentrant tachycardias and reciprocating tachycardias associated with an extranodal accessory pathway such as the WPW syndrome or short PR syndrome. **Off-label** Indicated for off-label uses in anal fissures (as topical formulation), migraine prophylaxis, cramps in lower leg related to rest, pulmonary hypertension, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, and proteinuria associated with diabetic nephropathy.
Diltiazem is an antihypertensive and vasodilating agent that works by relaxing the vascular muscle and reducing blood pressure. This is related to the long-term therapeutic effects, as lowering the blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. Diltiazem inhibits the influx of extracellular calcium ions across the myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes during depolarization. Diltiazem is classified as a negative inotrope (decreased force) and negative chronotrope (decreased rate). It is also considered a rate-control drug as it reduces heart rate. Diltiazem is exerts hemodynamic actions by reducing blood pressure, systemic vascular resistance, the rate-pressure product, and coronary vascular resistance while increasing coronary blood flow. Diltiazem decreases sinoatrial and atrioventricular conduction in isolated tissues and has a negative inotropic effect in isolated preparations. In supraventricular tachycardia, diltiazem prolongs AV nodal refractories. As the magnitude of blood pressure reduction is related to the degree of hypertension, the antihypertensive effect of diltiazem is most pronounced in individuals with hypertension. In a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, dose-response study involving patients with essential hypertension, there was a reduction in the diastolic blood pressure by 1.9, 5.4, 6.1, and 8.6 mmHg in the patients receiving diltiazem at doses of 120, 240, 360, and 540 mg, respectively. In patients receiving placebo, there was a reduction in the diastolic blood pressure by 2.6 mmHg.In a randomized, double-blind study involving patients with chronic stable angina, variable doses of diltiazem administered at night all caused an increased exercise tolerance in the after 21 hours, compared to placebo. In the NORDIL study of patients with hypertension, the therapeutic effectiveness of diltiazem in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality was assessed. When using the combined primary endpoint as fatal and non-fatal stroke, myocardial infarction, and other cardiovascular death, fatal and non-fatal stroke was shown to be reduced by 25% in the diltiazem group. Although the clinical significance to this effect remains unclear, it is suggested that diltiazem may exert a protective role against cerebral stroke in hypertensive patients.

Absorption
Diltiazem is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Minimum therapeutic plasma diltiazem concentrations appear to be in the range of 50 to 200 ng/mL. Following oral administration of extended formulations of 360 mg diltiazem, the drug in plasma was detectable within 3 to 4 hours and the peak plasma concentrations were reached between 11 and 18 hours post-dose. Diltiazem peak and systemic exposures were not affected by concurrent food intake. Due to hepatic first-pass metabolism, the absolute bioavailability following oral administration is about 40%, with the value ranging from 24 to 74% due to high interindividual variation in the first pass effect. The bioavailability may increase in patients with hepatic impairment.
Route of Elimination
Due to its extensive metabolism, only 2% to 4% of the unchanged drug can be detected in the urine. The major urinary metabolite in healthy volunnteers was N-monodesmethyl diltiazem, followed by deacetyl N,O-didesmethyl diltiazem, deacetyl N-monodesmethyl diltiazem, and deacetyl diltiazem; however, there seems to be large inter-individual variability in the urinary excretion of DTZ and its metabolites.
Volume of Distribution
The apparent volume of distribution of diltiazem was approximately 305 L following a single intravenous injection in healthy male volunteers.
Clearance
Following a single intravenous injection in healthy male volunteers, the systemic clearance of diltiazem was approximately 65 L/h. After constant rate intravenous infusion, the systemic clearance decreased to 48 L/h.
The protein binding of diltiazem is 80-90%, & the volume of distribution is approx 5.3 L/kg. Clearance of diltiazem after oral ingestion follows first-order kinetics, with a half-life of 5-10 hr, independent of the amount ingested. In sustained release preparations, however, the peak absorption time is delayed & the half-life may be very prolonged because of continued GI absorption.

Although the absorption of ... agents /like diltiazem/ is nearly complete after oral admin, their bioavailability is reduced, in some cases markedly, because of first-pass hepatic metab. The effects of these drugs are evident within 30-60 min of an oral dose ... . During repeated oral admin, bioavailability and half-life may incr because of saturation of hepatic metabolism. A major metabolite of diltiazem is desacetyldiltiazem, which has about 1/2 of diltiazem's potency as a vasodilator.

The pharmacokinetic changes of diltiazem ... and its main metabolite, deacetyldiltiazem (DAD) were studied after oral admin of diltiazem to normal rabbits and mild and medium folate-induced renal failure rabbits. Diltiazem 10 mg/kg was given to the rabbits ... orally (n=6). Plasma concns of diltiazem and DAD were determined by a high performance liquid chromatography assay. The area under the plasma concn-time curves (AUC) and max plasma concn (Cmax) of diltiazem were significantly increased in mild and medium folate-induced renal failure rabbits. The metabolite ratio of the diltiazem to DAD were significantly decreased in mild and medium folate-induced renal failure rabbits. The volume of distribution (Vd) and total body clearance (CLt) of diltiazem were significantly decreased in mild and medium folate-induced renal failure rabbits. The elimination rate constant (beta) of diltiazem was significantly decreased in folate-induced renal failure rabbits, but that of DAD was significantly increased. These findings suggest that the hepatic metab of diltiazem was inhibited ... .

Diltiazem is subject to extensive first-pass metabolism, which explains its relatively low absolute oral bioavailability. It undergoes N-demethylation primarily mediated by CYP3A4. CYP2D6 is responsible for O-demethylation and esterases mediate deacetylation. There was large inter-individual variability in the circulating plasma levels of metabolites in healthy volunteers. In healthy volunteers, the major circulating metabolites in the plasma are N-monodesmethyl diltilazem, deacetyl diltiazem, and deacetyl N-monodesmethyl diltiazem, which are all pharmacologically active. Deacetyl diltiazem retains about 25-50% of the pharmacological activity to that of the parent compound. Deacetyl diltiazem can be further transformed into deacetyl diltiazem N-oxide or deacetyl O-desmethyl diltiazem. N-monodesmethyl diltilazem can be further metabolized to N,O-didesmethyl diltiazem. Deacetyl N-monodesmethyl diltiazem can be further metabolized to deacetyl N,O-didesmethyl diltiazem, which can be glucuronidated or sulphated. Diltiazem can be O-demethylated by CYP2D6 to form O-desmethyl diltiazem.

The plasma elimination half-life is approximately 3.0 to 4.5 hours following single and multiple oral doses. The half-life may slightly increase with dose and the extent of hepatic impairment. The apparent elimination half-life for diltiazem as extended-release tablets after single or multiple dosing is 6 to 9 hours. The plasma elimination half-life is approximately 3.4 hours following administration of a single intravenous injection. The elimination half-lives of pharmacologically active metabolites are longer than that of diltiazem.

Excitation of cardiac muscle involves the activation of a slow calcium inward current that is induced by L-type slow calcium channels, which are voltage-sensitive, ion-selective channels associated with a high activation threshold and slow inactivation profile. L-type calcium channels are the main current responsible for the late phase of the pacemaker potential. Acting as the main Ca2+ source for contraction in smooth and cardiac muscle, activation of L-type calcium channels allows the influx of calcium ions into the muscles upon depolarization and excitation of the channel. It is proposed that this cation influx may also trigger the release of additional calcium ions from intracellular storage sites. Diltiazem is a slow calcium channel blocker that binds to the extracellular site of the alpha-1C subunit of the channel, which is thought to be the S5-6 linker region of the transmembrane domain IV and/or S6 segment of domain III. Diltiazem can get access to this binding site from either the intracellular or extracellular side, but it requires a voltage-induced conformational changes in the membrane. Diltiazem inhibits the influx of extracellular calcium across the myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes. In isolated human atrial and ventricular myocardium, diltiazem suppressed tension over the range of membrane potentials associated with calcium channel activity but had little effect on the tension-voltage relations at more positive potentials. This effect is thought to be mediated by the voltage-dependent block of the L-type calcium channels and inhibition of calcium ion release from the ER stores, without altering the sodium-calcium coupled transport or calcium sensitivity of myofilaments. Through inhibition of inward calcium current, diltiazem exerts a direct ionotropic and energy sparing effect on the myocardium. Diltiazem fslows atrioventricular nodal conduction, which is due to its ability to impede slow channel function. Reduced intracellular calcium concentrations equate to increased smooth muscle relaxation resulting in arterial vasodilation and therefore, decreased blood pressure. The decrease in intracellular calcium inhibits the contractile processes of the myocardial smooth muscle cells, causing dilation of the coronary and systemic arteries, increased oxygen delivery to the myocardial tissue, decreased total peripheral resistance, decreased systemic blood pressure, and decreased afterload. Through its actions on reducing calcium levels in cardiac and vascular smooth muscles, diltiazem causes a reduction in the contractile processes of the myocardial smooth muscle cells and vasodilation of the coronary and systemic arteries, including epicardial and subendocardial. This subsequently leads to increased oxygen delivery to the myocardial tissue, improved cardiac output due to increased stroke volume, decreased total peripheral resistance, decreased systemic blood pressure and heart rate, and decreased afterload. Diltiazem lowers myocardial oxygen demand through a reduction in heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac contractility; this leads to a therapeutic effect in improving exercise tolerance in chronic stable angina.
The effects of D-cis- and L-cis-diltiazem on the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced derangements of mechanical function and energy metab, and accumulation of intracellular Na+ were studied in isolated rat hearts. The intracellular concn of Na+ ([Na+]i) in the myocardium was measured using a nuclear magnetic resonance technique. H2O2 (600 uM) increased the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, decreased the tissue level of ATP, and increased the release of lactate dehydrogenase from the myocardium. These alterations induced by H2O2 were significantly attenuated by D-cis-diltiazem (15 uM) or L-cis-diltiazem (15 uM). H2O2 (1 mM) produced a marked incr in the myocardial [Na+]i, which was effectively inhibited by ... D-cis-diltiazem (15 uM) or L-cis-diltiazem (15 uM). ... The protective action of D-cis- and L-cis-diltiazem may be due to their ability to inhibit the H2O2-induced incr in [Na+]i, at least in part.
