/Pentaerythritol/ tetranitrate is much longer acting than nitroglycerin but is slower in onset of action. Hence it is used in the prophylaxis of attacks of angina pectoris but not in the management of the acute attack. It is no better than a placebo as a routine chronic prophylactic in angina pectoris; tolerance develops with chronic use. /Pentaerythritol tetranitrate, diluted/
Osol, A. (ed.). Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. 16th ed. Easton, Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Co., 1980., p. 794
In a randomized, double-blind, four-way crossover study, 24 healthy volunteers received 240 mg/d pentaerithritol tetranitrate (PETN), 150 mg/d PETN, 60 mg/d isosorbide mononitrate slow release (ISMN) or placebo in each study period for two days. Headache and disability to work were self-rated six times per day; individual measurements were combined to total scores. ISMN caused headaches more frequently (in approx. 90% of volunteers) and more severe (average total score 15.2) and a greater disability (average total score 6.0) than the high or low PETN-dosage (both in approx. 50%, headache score 4.9 or 6.4, disability score 1.1 or 2.1, resp.) and placebo (in approx. 10%, headache 0.8, disability 0), all these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.01, Wilcoxon). The high PETN-dosage showed a non-significant trend to produce fewer systemic side effects than the low PETN-dosage (not vice versa). With ISMN six volunteers prematurely terminated the study period and one volunteer who was replaced withdrew from the entire study due to side effects; all volunteers completed the study periods with the other medications.

Used for the treatment of angina pectoris.
Organic nitrate which causes systemic vasodilation, decreasing cardiovascular preload. Nitrate enters vascular smooth muscle and converted to nitric oxide (NO) which acts as a cellular messenger, leading to activation of cyclic GMP and, therefore, vasodilation. The nitrovasodilator group of drugs relaxes most smooth muscles in the body, including those in the walls of arteries and veins, and selectively dilate large coronary vessels. Lower doses of nitrates increase coronary blood flow without significantly affecting systemic arterial pressure. Higher doses, especially if repeated frequently, decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as cardiac output, which can result in a headache, weakness, dizziness, and the activation of compensatory sympathetic reflexes, including tachycardia and peripheral arteriolar vasoconstriction. Smooth muscles in the bronchi, biliary tract, gastrointestinal tract, ureters, and uterus also can be relaxed by nitrovasodilators. PETN seems to be unique among the long-acting nitrovasodilators in that patients do not demonstrate tolerance to treatment, which results in sustained vasodilation in humans with continuous PETN treatment. Important to note is that this drug is devoid of induction of oxidative stress and related side-effects such as endothelial dysfunction or tolerance to nitrates. Some of these effects are related to special pharmacokinetics of PETN, but upon chronic administration, PETN also induces antioxidative pathways at the genomic level, resulting in increased expression of heme _oxygenase-1 (HO-1)_ _and ferritin_, both possessing highly protective properties. There is good experimental evidence that at least part of the beneficial profile of long-term treatment with this drug is based on the activation of the _heme oxygenase-1/ferritin_ system.

The systemic absorption of meprobamate, diphenhydramine and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) has been demonstrated following oral administration of a formulation containing all three drug substances to human volunteers. A study undertaken in dogs has also been made of the pharmacokinetics of the major nitrated metabolite of PETN when the parent drug is administered with and without meprobamate and diphenhydramine. Pentaerythritol mononitrate shows a six-fold increase in both peak plasma concentrations and area under the 0-12 hour plasma concentration-time curve when PETN is co-administered with a combination of meprobamate, diphenhydramine and nicotinic acid. No such increase is apparent when either meprobamate or diphenhydramine is excluded from the dose. Further increases in pentaerythritol mononitrate plasma levels and AUC 0-12 hr are observed when all of the drugs are administered as the formulated coated tablet (VisanoCor).

Extensively metabolized in the liver. Metabolites: pentaerythritol trinitrate, pentaerythritol dinitrate, pentaerythritol mononitrate, & pentaerythritol (inactive)
Rapid de-esterfication of pentaerythritol tetranitrate after po dosing to humans resulted in measurable serum levels of pentaerythritol, pentaerythritol pentaerythritol mononitrate, and small amt of the dinitrate, but no unchanged drug. The kinetics of urinary excretion of pentaerythritol tetranitrate were first-order and dose-dependent. The ratio of mononitrate to pentaerythritol excreted in urine was 3:1 from a 40 mg dose and 1:1 from a 20 mg dose, suggesting a limited capacity for conversion of pentaerythritol mononitrate into pentaerythritol.

Pentaerythritol tetranitrate is the lipid soluble polyol ester of nitric acid belonging to the family of _nitro-vasodilators_. Pentaerythritol tetranitrate releases free nitric oxide (NO) after the denitration reaction, which triggers NO-dependent signaling transduction involving soluble _guanylate cyclase (sGC_). Nitric oxide binds reversibly to the ferrous-heme center of sGC, causing conformational change and activating the enzyme. This enzyme activation results in increased cellular concentrations of _cyclic guanosine monophosphate _(cGMP) within the vascular smooth muscle, resulting in vasodilation mediated by cGMP-dependent protein kinases. Additionally, this agent causes dose-dependent arterial and venous bed.
The nitrates reduce myocardial oxygen requirements through their effects on the systemic circulation. Their systemic actions include (1) a reduction in venous tone, which leads to pooling of blood in peripheral veins, decr venous return, and reduced ventricular volume and myocardial tension (preload); and (2) a decr in peripheral vascular resistance, which reduces arterial blood pressure and ventricular outflow resistance (afterload). /Nitrates/

Antianginal or cardiac load reducing agent: /Mechanism of action/ not specifically known but thought to cause a reduction of myocardial oxygen demand. This is attributed to a reduction in left ventricular preload and afterload because of venous (predominantly) and arterial dilation with a more efficient redistribution of blood flow within the myocardium. Antihypertensive: Peripheral vasodilation. /Nitrates (systemic)/
US Pharmacopeial Convention; US Pharmacopeia Dispensing Information (USP DI); Drug Information for the Health Care Professional 12th ed, V.IB p.2025 (1992)
The basic mechanisms responsible for the vasodilatory and anti-ischemic action of organic nitrates involve bioactivation of, and nitric oxide (NO) release from, these compounds which have therefore been termed NO donors. The organic nitrate pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) is known to possess antioxidant properties that are thought to be the underlying cause for its specific pharmacological profile. In contrast to other long-acting nitrates, PETN induces tolerance- free vasodilation in humans and was reported to prevent endothelial dysfunction as well as atherogenesis in cholesterol- fed rabbits. ... The active PETN metabolite PETriN stimulates protein expression of the antioxidant defense protein heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Additionally, PETriN enhanced the enzymatic activity of HO-1 measured as formation of the HO-1 metabolites bilirubin and carbon monoxide in lysates from endothelial cells. HO-1 induction subsequently led to a marked increase in protein expression of a second antioxidant protein, ferritin, via the HO-1-dependent release of free iron from endogenous heme sources. Pretreatment of endothelial cells with PETriN was followed by increased cellular resistance to oxidant injury mediated by hydrogen peroxide. Endothelial protection by PETriN was mimicked by exogenous bilirubin which led to an almost complete reversal of hydrogen peroxide-induced toxicity. Increased HO-1 and ferritin expression as well as endothelial protection occurred at micromolar concentrations of PETriN which are well within the range of plasma or tissue levels that can be expected during oral therapy. The capacity to protect the endothelium in vitro may translate into and explain the previously observed antiatherogenic actions of PETN in vivo. ... Moreover, in earlier investigations aimed at assessing the antiatherogenic potential of nitrates, PETN but not isosorbide nitrates prevented plaque formation and endothelial dysfunction in animal models of atherosclerosis. Thus, the ability to activate HO-1 induction and associated antioxidant pathways apparently distinguishes PETN from other long-acting nitrates and may explain their different patterns of action in vivo.
PMID:14968347 Grosser N, Schroder H; Herz 29 (1): 116-22 (2004). Available fron, as of December 31, 2009:
Nitrates vary in their potential to induce the development of tolerance. During long-lasting nitrate therapy, except pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), one can observe the development of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside the muscular cell of a vessel wall, and these bind with nitric oxide (NO). This leads to decreased NO activity, thus, nitrate tolerance. PETN has no tendency to form ROS, and therefore during long-term PETN therapy, there is probably no tolerance or cross-tolerance, as during treatment with other nitrates.
