Physiological alterations that may change pharmacological response accompany aging. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, donepezil, tacrine, and galantamine, were investigated in an aged Lister hooded rat model. Intravenous and oral 6-h blood sampling profiles in old (30 months old) and young (7 months old) rats revealed pharmacokinetic changes similar to those in humans with an approximately 40% increase in C-max of galantamine and prolonged t(1/2) (1.4-fold) and mean residence time (1.5-fold) of donepezil. Tacrine disposition was maintained with age, and area under the concentration-time curve and clearance in old rats were similar to those in young rats for all drugs tested as was bioavailability. Old rats showed a trend of increased pharmacodynamic sensitivity (
