Milrinone Usage And Synthesis

Positive Inotropic drugs

Milrinone, also known as bipyridine ketone, methyl cyanide topiramate ketone, is a drug for the treatment of heart failure ,it is a homolog of amrinone, having positive inotropic and vasodilatory effects, its mechanism of action is the same as ammonia milrinone , but the strength of its effect is 10 to 30 times of amrinone,without side effects of reducing platelets,it is well tolerated. Oral or intravenous way has a good effect, it can increase cardiac output and cardiac index, reduce left ventricular end diastolic pressure, pulmonary wedge pressure and right atrial pressure, it has no significant effect on blood pressure and heart rate,it takes effect within 0.5 hours after oral administration,and achieves to maximum effect after 1 to 3 hours , the half-life is 2 hours, the effect can be maintained for 4-6 hours, it is mainly metabolically inactivated in the liver , 80% of it is excreted unchanged in the urine. It is clinically used in the treatment of various acute and chronic heart failure,it is effective in digitalis and diuretics invalid refractory heart failure . This product is the same as amrinone, significant short-term effect, long-term efficacy remains to be further confirmed, but the side effects are little.
Compared with amrinone, milrinone has the following characteristics:
1, small doses mainly have positive inotropic effect, vasodilator effect is gradually enhanced while increasing the dose ,its positive inotropic effect accounts for 1/3 of the total effect in the treatment of heart failure, vasodilation effect accounts for2/3 of the total effect.
2,not significantly increasing myocardial oxygen consumption.
3, to improve peripheral circulatory disorders in heart failure, to increase exercise capacity of patients with heart failure and improve their quality of life.
4, for cardiac β receptors in a low-key and reduced β agonistssusceptibility heart failure patients, the drug is still valid.
5, the positive inotropic effect does not produce tachyphylaxis phenomenon.
6, no significant effect on blood pressure and heart rate.
The above information is edited by the Chemicalbook of Tian Ye.

Mechanism

Milrinone is non-digitalis, non-catecholamines cardiac drug , it is representative drug of phosphodiesterase inhibitor,selectively inhibiting phosphodiesterase in myocardial cells, increasing intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate, alter intracellular calcium transport, thereby increasing myocardial contractility and expanding peripheral vessel . An increase in myocardial oxygen consumption caused by Milrinone increasing myocardial contractility may be offset by its vasodilator effect. Milrinone is an ideal drug for the treatment of coronary artery stenosis, decompensated heart failure led by myocardial ischemia . Because milrinone hasβ receptor down features, it is an ideal drug for the treatment of decompensated heart failure in patients applying β-blocker . Because milrinone has effect on expanding small arteries and veins, it is more beneficial than dobutamine for the traetment of decompensated heart failure with severe pulmonary hypertension .

Dosage

First dose is slow intravenous injection (50 μg/kg, intravenous injection after dilution, time is not less than 10 min), then with 0.375~0.750 μg/(kg · min), continuous intravenous drip. The maximum daily dose is 1.13 mg/kg. Patients with renal insufficiency reduce the use according to creatinine clearance level, for example, creatinine clearance rate is 20 ml/(min · 1.73 m2), intravenously at a dose of 0.28 μg/(kg · min). 80% of Milrinone is excreted from the kidneys, in general,for renal insufficiency patients, the dose should be halved.

Drug Interactions

Patients already receiving angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy using milrinone can further improve hemodynamics, but also increase the side effects caused by the blood vessels dilation. Milrinone combinated with mid-dose dobutamine, can enhance the positive inotropic effect, further reducing left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. When there is low blood pressure, milrinone can theoretically combine a larger dose dopamine.

Precautions

1, showing ventricular arrhythmia, supraventricular arrhythmias; few are headache, ventricular arrhythmias, weakness, low platelet count, etc; overdose may lead to low blood pressure, tachycardia; occasionally bronchospasm, fever .
2, acute myocardial infarction patients are disabled.
3, patients with hypotension, tachycardia, renal insufficiency, atrial fibrillation or flutter, electrolyte imbalance, drug-induced arrhythmias, kidney disease, severe aortic or pulmonary valve disease , pregnant women, lactating women should use with caution.
4,the elimination half-life of this product is significantly prolonged in patients with renal insufficiency , it should be reduced in patients with renal insufficiency, and the infusion rate should be slow . Elderly patients do not need to adjust the dose.

Chemical Properties

Description

Milrinone, an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase selective for fraction III PDE, exerts a positive inotropic effect on the heart as well as a peripheral vasodilatory effect. Milrinone given intravenously produces significant improvements on cardiac output, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and vascular resistance without significant effects on the heart rate.

Description

Milrinone is an inhibitor of type 3 phosphodiesterases (PDEs), inhibiting recombinant PDE3A and PDE3B with IC₅₀ values of 0.45 and 1 μM, respectively. It is selective for PDE3 over PDE1, PDE2, PDE4, PDE5, and PDE7 (IC₅₀s = 263, >300, 17.5, 49.1, and 58.3 μM, respectively). Milrinone (0.1-1 mg/kg) has positive inotropic effects, increasing cardiac contractile force in anesthetized dogs with a concomitant increase in heart rate but not blood pressure. It also increases contractile force in models of propranolol- and verapamil-induced heart failure in anesthetized dogs when administered at an initial dose of 30 μg/kg followed by a continuous 3 μg/kg per minute infusion. Milrinone has vasodilatory effects as well, decreasing mean aortic pressure and increasing venous compliance in anesthetized dogs when administered at an initial dose of 10 μg/kg followed by a continuous 1.7-2.4 μg/kg per minute infusion. Formulations containing milrinone have been used in the treatment of heart failure.

Manufacturing Process

A mixture containing 20 g of 1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-propanone and 30 ml ofhexamethylphosphoramide was diluted with 65 ml of dimethylformamidedimethyl acetal and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 30 min. TLCanalysis showed a single spot, thereby indicating completion of the reaction(in another run, the reaction appeared to be complete after 30 min at roomtemperature). The mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and apressure, thereby resulting in a crystalline residue weighing 24 g. The residuewas purified by continuous chromatographic extraction on alumina (about 150g) using refluxing chloroform as eluant. After 90 min, the extract was heatedin vacuo to remove the chloroform, thereby leaving, as a light yellowcrystalline material, 23.2 g of 1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-(dimethylamino)ethenylmethyl ketone, alternatively named 4-dimethylamino-2-(4-pyridinyl)-3-buten-2-one.
To a mixture containing 23 g of 1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-(dimethylamino)ethenylmethyl ketone and 11 g of α-cyanoacetamide dissolved in 400 ml ofdimethylformamide was added with stirring 14 g of sodium methoxide and theresulting reaction mixture was heated in an oil bath under gentle reflux forone hour. TLC analysis showed no starting material in the reaction mixturewhich was then concentrated in vacuo on a rotary evaporator to a volume ofabout 80 ml. The concentrate was treated with about 160 ml of acetonitrileand the resulting mixture was stirred on a rotary evaporator with warminguntil homogenous and then cooled. The crystalline product was collected,rinsed successively with acetonitrile and ether, and dried overnight at 55°C toyield 28 g of crystalline product, namely, sodium salt of 1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-5-(4-pyridinyl)nicotinonitrile, the presence of cyano being confirmed byIR analysis. An 8 g portion of said sodium salt was dissolved in 75 ml of hotwater, the aqueous solution treated with decolorizing charcoal, filtered, thefiltrate again treated with decolorizing charcoal and filtered, and the filtrateacidified with 6 N hydrochloric acid by dropwise addition to a pH of 3. Theacidic mixture was diluted with ethanol and cooled. The crystalline productwas collected, dried, recrystallized from dimethylformamide-water and dried toproduce 3.75 g of 1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-5-(4-pyridinyl)nicotinonitrile,m.p. >300°C.
Another method of preparation of 1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-5-(4-pyridinyl)nicotinonitrile (Patent US 4,413,127)
A 69.5 g portion of 1-ethoxy-2-(4-pyridinyl)ethenyl methyl ketone wasdissolved in 300 ml of ethanol and to the solution was added 13.2 g ofmalononitrile. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 5 hours, crystals startingto separate after about 30 min of refluxing. The reaction mixture was allowedto cool to room temperature and, the precipitate of fine needles was filtered,washed with ethanol and dried in a vacuum at 90°C to yield 25.4 g of 1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-5-(4-pyridinyl)-nicotinonitrile, m.p. >300°C.Concentration of the mother liquor provided another 2.1 g of product, m.p.>300°C.
To a aqueous solution of 1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-5-(4-pyridinyl)nicotinonitrile was added one molar equivalent of lactic acid to prepare themonolactate of 1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-5-(4-pyridinyl)nicotinonitrile.
