4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Milrinone is indicated for the short-term (48 hours or less) treatment of patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Milrinone administration should occur together with close monitoring using appropriate electrocardiographic equipment and should occur in a facility equipped for the immediate treatment of potential cardiac events, including ventricular arrhythmias.


FDA Label


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Milrinone is a bipyridine derivative with positive inotropic and lusitropic effects that also results in peripheral vasodilation with minimal chronotropic effects over a therapeutic range of 100 to 300 ng/mL. As such, milrinone is used in decompensated congestive heart failure. Studies have demonstrated that milrinone exhibits sigmoidal effects, such that increasing milrinone plasma concentrations beyond a certain level results in no further hemodynamic changes. Despite milrinone's benefits, both intravenous and oral use has been associated with increased frequency of ventricular arrhythmias, and long-term oral use has been associated with an increased risk of sudden death; in general, there are no data to support the safety or efficacy of milrinone use beyond 48 hours and patients should be monitored closely for cardiac dysfunction. Also, as milrinone is primarily excreted renally, dose adjustments may be required in patients with impaired renal function.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitors

Compounds that specifically inhibit PHOSPHODIESTERASE 3. (See all compounds classified as Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitors.)


Vasodilator Agents

Drugs used to cause dilation of the blood vessels. (See all compounds classified as Vasodilator Agents.)

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

When administered as an IV bolus dose of 10-100 g/kg, milrinone induces hemodynamic effects within 60 seconds reaching a peak effect by 2-5 minutes. The plasma AUC is significantly dose-dependent.


Route of Elimination

Milrinone is primarily excreted in the urine, with 60% of a dose recovered after two hours and 90% within eight hours. Approximately 83% of milrinone recovered in urine is unchanged while 12% is present as the main O-glucuronide metabolite.


Volume of Distribution

Milrinone administered intravenously to congestive heart failure patients had a volume of distribution of 0.38 L/kg (injections between 12.5-125 g/kg) and 0.45 L/kg (infusions between 0.2-0.7 g/kg/min.


Clearance

Milrinone administered intravenously to congestive heart failure patients had a clearance of 0.13 L/kg/hr (injections between 12.5-125 g/kg) and 0.14 L/kg/hr (infusions between 0.2-0.7 g/kg/min.


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Animal studies suggest that two oxidative pathways are involved in milrinone metabolism, albeit only involving a small proportion of the administered dose. The major metabolite is the O-glucuronide metabolite.


5.7 Biological Half-Life

Milrinone administered intravenously to congestive heart failure patients had a mean terminal elimination half-life of 2.3 hours (injections between 12.5-125 g/kg) and 2.4 hours (infusions between 0.2-0.7 g/kg/min.


5.8 Mechanism of Action

Heart failure is a condition characterized by the heart's inability to provide adequate perfusion to the peripheral tissues, resulting in systemic symptoms including pulmonary, gastrointestinal, renal, and cerebral dysfunction. Although the biochemical and physiological processes underlying heart failure complex and variable, one such physiological response regulated by the sympathetic nervous system involves the eventual downregulation of cardiac -receptors, decreased catecholamine sensitivity, and a corresponding decrease in adenylyl-cyclase-mediated signalling pathways. Increased intracellular cAMP, mainly acting through protein kinase A, increases sarcolemmal calcium release through L-type calcium channels as well as calcium re-uptake mediated by phospholamban and troponin I; these actions correspond to positive inotropic and lusitropic effects, respectively. Milrinone is a partial competitive inhibitor of phosphodiesterase III (PDE-III), with a measured IC50 value of between 0.66 and 1.3 M. As a PDE-III inhibitor, milrinone results in an increase in intracellular cAMP, responsible for its pharmacological effects, including positive inotropy, positive lusitropy, and vasodilation. As milrinone affects cAMP levels through PDE-III and not through -adrenergic receptors, it is effective in patients who have downregulated or otherwise desensitized -adrenergic receptors and can be administered together with -agonists/antagonists.
