Possible Interaction: Ajmaline and Quinidine

supplement:

Quinidine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Quinidine induced a marked increase to give a mean peak concentration of ajmaline which increased from 0·018 μg ml−1 after a single administration to 0·141 μg ml−1 in combination with quinidine.
The area under the ajmaline concentration‐time curves was increased 10 to 30‐fold by the concurrent administration of quinidine.
The results indicate the existence of a significant interaction between oral ajmaline and quinidine.

Concurrent oral administration of 10 mg/kg of quinidine markedly increased the plasma concentration of ajmaline at a dose of 2 mg/kg.
Furthermore, quinidine delayed the elimination rate of ajmaline from the perfused rat liver.
In fact, when ajmaline was administered into the intestinal loop, its concentration in mesenteric venous plasma increased approximately 5-fold by the combination with quinidine.
The availability of ajmaline after oral dose showed an increase from 13% to nearly 100% by the presence of quinidine , which suggests a change in the presystemic clearance of ajmaline.
These results indicate that quinidine prevents presystemic elimination of ajmaline in the intestine and liver, and increases the systemic availability of ajmaline.
