Ipratropium is a quaternary ammonium derivative of atropine⁴ that acts as an anticholinergic agent.¹ It is commonly administered through inhalation which allows producing a local effect without presenting a significant systemic absorption.⁴

Ipratropium as a therapeutic agent was developed by Boehringer Ingelheim and its first monotherapy product was FDA approved in 1986.¹¹ On the other hand, the combination product of ipratropium and albuterol was approved in 1996.¹²

Pharmacology

Indication

Inhaled ipratropium is indicated in combination with inhaled beta-agonist systemic corticosteroids for the management of severe exacerbations of asthma flares requiring treatment.¹

Asthma exacerbations are characterized by a progressive increase in one or more of asthma symptoms accompanied by a decrease in expiratory flow.¹³

As a single agent, ipratropium was indicated for the symptomatic relief of rhinorrhea associated with the common cold or seasonal allergic rhinitis for patients 5 years or older. It does not alleviate nasal congestion nor sneezing.^Label

Rhinorrhea refers to recurrent or chronic watery nasal discharge. This condition is debilitating and its pathogenesis and etiology is complex and not very well understood presenting very substantial cost burden.¹⁴

Additionally, ipratropium is indicated as a bronchodilator for maintenance treatment of bronchospasm associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.^Label

The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease includes a large number of conditions characterized by breathlessness. As this includes several conditions, the etiology, symptoms, and treatments are diverse.¹⁵

Ipratropium has also been studied to be used for the treatment of sialorrhea.²

Sialorrhea is a common symptom that accompanies different neurologic conditions and it is characterized by drooling or excessive salivation.⁵

Associated Conditions

Pharmacodynamics

Ipratropium is a short-acting agent that inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system at the level of the airway which then produces bronchodilatation. The effect of this agent starts after 1-2 hours and it is known to last only from 4 to 6 hours.³ As part of the effect, ipratropium relaxes the bronchial airways which reverse the narrowing that accounts for wheezy breathing, chest tightness, cough and abnormal gas exchange.⁶

In clinical trials where ipratropium was used in the initial management of status asthmaticus, it was demonstrated a clear benefit in pulmonary function in children and adults. However, the continuous use of ipratropium after an acute asthmatic attack is not proven to be significantly advantageous¹ nor the prophylactic administration of this agent.⁸

Mechanism of action

Ipratropium acts as an antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor.¹ This effect produces the inhibition of the parasympathetic nervous system in the airways and hence, inhibit their function. The function of the parasympathetic system in the airway is to generate bronchial secretions and constriction and hence, the inhibition of this action can lead to bronchodilation and fewer secretions.³

At the cellular level, the diameter of the airways is controlled by the release of acetylcholine into the muscle cells causing them to contract and producing a narrow airway. Thus administration of ipratropium stops the activity of acetylcholine in the smooth muscle preventing the contraction and producing relaxed airways.⁶

Absorption

Ipratropium is a topically active but poorly absorbed agent.⁷ The lack of absorption potential in the mucosal surfaces is associated with the presence of a charge in the 5-valent nitrogen. The molecule itself presents very large topic effectiveness however, it does not produce detectable blood levels nor systemic effects.⁸

Serum levels of ipratropium after oral or inhaled administration are very low, corresponding to only 1-2% of the administered dose. These low levels peak after 1-2 hours and it presents a low bioavailability of 2%.⁸

Volume of distribution

Ipratropium has a volume of distributions of 4.6 L/kg and hence, it is known to be highly distributed in the tissues.¹⁶

Protein binding

The protein binding of ipratropium is very low as the level of circulating ipratropium is very minimal. The bound state represents only from 0-9% of the administered dose.¹⁰

Metabolism

Ipratropium is metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract by the activity of the cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes.³ From the orally administered dose, about 90% of the dose is excreted unchanged. The absorbed portion is partially metabolized by ester hydrolysis to inactive metabolites, tropic acid and tropane.⁹

Route of elimination

About 80-100% of the administered dose of ipratropium is excreted in the urine leaving less than 20% of the dose to be eliminated through the feces.³ From the urine eliminated portion, almost all the drug is found unchanged.⁸

However, when ipratropium is orally administered, due to its low absorption, most of the dose is recovered in the feces with a very minimal amount found in the urine.⁸

Half life

Ipratropium presents a short half-life of about 1.6 hours.³

Clearance

The average clearance rate of ipratropium is of 2.3 L/min with a renal clearance of 0.9 L/min.¹⁶

Toxicity

The reported LD50 in mice after oral administration of ipratropium is 1500 mg/kg.^MSDS However, overdosage is not very likely due to the poor absorption of ipratropium.^Label

Ipratropium was not shown to present carcinogenesis, teratogenesis not mutagenesis potential and it did not present effects on fertility. The only effect after high administration of ipratropium was a reduction in the conception rate.^Label
