| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
3,4-Diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP) is potassium channel inhibitor used to treat Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). We investigated the pharmacokinetics of 3,4-DAP, which are still poorly understood, in rats and humans. In healthy Japanese volunteers, 3,4-DAP Vd/F and T1/2 were varied from 740 to 1669 L and from 35 to51 min, respectively. We found that 3,4-DAP was characterized by fast elimination from serum and high tissue perfusion in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, muscle mass was the inter-individual variability factor. In addition, studies in rat tissue distribution and compound muscle action potential with and without alpha-bungarotoxin indicated that 3,4-DAP response delay caused by high muscle distribution compared with plasma disposition.
