DB00598
Background

Labetalol is a racemic mixture of 2 diastereoisomers where dilevalol, the R,R' stereoisomer, makes up 25% of the mixture.8 Labetalol is formulated as an injection or tablets to treat hypertension.7,8

Labetalol was granted FDA approval on 1 August 1984.6

Pharmacodynamics

Labetalol antagonizes various adrenergic receptors to decrease blood pressure.5,3,4,7 The duration of action is long as it is generally given twice daily, and the therapeutic window is wide as patients usually take 200-400mg twice daily.8 Patients susceptible to bronchospasms should not use labetalol unless they are unresponsive to or intolerant of other antihypertensives.8

Mechanism of action

Labetalol non-selectively antagonizes beta-adrenergic receptors, and selectively antagonizes alpha-1-adrenergic receptors.5 Following oral administration, labetalol has 3 times the beta-blocking ability than alpha-blocking ability.5 This increases to 6.9 times following intravenous administration.5 Antagonism of alpha-1-adrenergic receptors leads to vasodilation and decreased vascular resistance.3 This leads to a decrease in blood pressure that is most pronounced while standing.4 Antagonism of beta-1-adrenergic receptors leads to a slight decrease in heart rate.7 Antagonism of beta-2-adrenergic receptors leads to some of the side effects of labetalol such as bronchospasms, however this may be slightly attenuated by alpha-1-adrenergic antagonism.4 Labetalol leads to sustained vasodilation over the long term without a significant decrease in cardiac output or stroke volume, and a minimal decrease in heart rate.3,4

Absorption

100mg and 200mg oral doses of labetalol have a Tmax of 20 minutes to 2 hours.2 Bioavailability may be as low as 11% or as high as 86% and may increase in older patients or when taken with food.2

Volume of distribution

In normotensive patients, the volume of distribution is 805L.2 In hypertensive patients, the volume of distribution is between 188-747L with an average of 392L.2

Protein binding

Labetalol is approximately 50% protein bound in serum.2,7,8

Metabolism

The metabolism of labetalol has not been fully described in the literature but studies in sheep show an N-dealkylation to 3-amino-1-phenyl butane.1 This metabolite may be further metabolized to benzylacetone and 3-amino-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butane.1 Labetalol in humans is mainly metabolized to glucuronide metabolites such as the O-phenyl-glucuronide and the N-glucuronide.2,7,8

Route of elimination

Radiolabelled doses of labetalol are 55-60% recovered in the urine and 12-27% recovered in the feces.2

Half-life

Labetalol has a half life of 1.7-6.1 hours.2

Clearance

Labetalol has a plasma clearance of approximately 1500mL/min and a whole blood clearance of 1100mL/min.2

Toxicity

The oral LD50 in mice is 600mg/kg and in rats is >2g/kg.7,8 The intravenous LD50 in mice and rats is 50-60mg/kg.7,8

Patients experiencing an overdose may present with excessive hypotension and bradycardia.7,8 Patients should be placed on their back with their legs raised to maintain perfusion of the brain.7,8 Oral overdoses may be treated with gastric lavage or emesis, bradycardia may be treated with atropine or epinephrine, cardiac failure may be treated with digitalis and a diuretic, hypotension may be treated with vasopressors, bronchospasms may be treated with epinephrine or a beta2 agonist, and seizures may be treated with diazepam.7,8
