0 comments
Absorption Rapidly absorbed following oral administration. Absolute bioavailability = 2.6%
Volume of distribution Not Available
Protein binding 47-51%
Metabolism
Approximately 80% of the drug in plasma following oral administration is unchanged. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 oxidation produces two major metabolites that account for approximately 5% of the drug in plasma. Aliskiren is eliminated primarily through the biliary/fecal route as unchanged drug and, to a lesser extent, via oxidative metabolism via CYP3A4. Only 0.6% of the oral dose is recovered in urine.
Route of elimination About one fourth of the absorbed dose appears in the urine as parent drug.
Half life 24-41 hours
Clearance Not Available
Toxicity The most likely manifestation of overdosage would be hypotension.
Affected organisms
  • Humans and other mammals
