Abstrakt: The effects of separate 5 day pretreatments of propranolol 120 mg day-1 and 720 mg day-1 on theophylline clearance and metabolism at steady- state were determined in seven healthy males. Propranolol 120 mg day-1 decreased theophylline plasma clearance (CL) by 30%. Clearance of theophylline to each metabolite was reduced by this treatment, clearances to the two demethylated products by 42-43% and clearance to the 8-hydroxylation product by 27%. Propranolol 720 mg day-1 decreased theophylline CL by 52%. Again, clearance of theophylline to each metabolite was reduced by this treatment, clearances to the two demethylation products by 73-77% and clearance to the 8-hydroxylation product by 44%. These data are consistent with a dose-dependent and selective inhibitory effect of propranolol on the separate forms of cytochrome P-450 involved in theophylline demethylation and 8- hydroxylation.
