Milrinone
Identification
- Name
- Milrinone
- Accession Number
- DB00235
- Description
A positive inotropic cardiotonic agent with vasodilator properties. It inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase activity in myocardium and vascular smooth muscle. Milrinone is a derivative of amrinone and has 20-30 times the ionotropic potency of amrinone.

Learn More- Pharmacodynamics
Milrinone, a synthetic dimethylxanthine derivative structurally related to theophylline and caffeine, is used in the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases and in the management of cerebrovascular insufficiency, sickle cell disease, and diabetic neuropathy.
- Mechanism of action
Milrinone inhibits erythrocyte phosphodiesterase, resulting in an increase in erythrocyte cAMP activity. Subsequently, the erythrocyte membrane becomes more resistant to deformity. Along with erythrocyte activity, Milrinone also decreases blood viscosity by reducing plasma fibrinogen concentrations and increasing fibrinolytic activity.
Target Actions Organism AcGMP-inhibited 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase A inhibitorHumans - Absorption
Milrinone is rapidly and almost completely absorbed after oral administration. Bioavailability is 92% (in healthy volunteers).
- Volume of distribution
- 0.38 liters/kg [intravenous injections of 12.5 mcg/kg to 125 mcg/kg to congestive heart failure patients]
- 0.45 liters/kg [intravenous infusions of 0.20 mcg/kg/min to 0.70 mcg/kg/min to congestive heart failure patients]
- Protein binding
70 to 80%
- Metabolism
There are five metabolites but the O-glucuronide represents the major pathway of biotransformation.
- Route of elimination
The primary route of excretion of milrinone in man is via the urine.
- Half-life
2.3 hours
- Clearance
- 0.13 L/kg/hr [congestive heart failure patients, following IV injections of 12.5 mcg/kg to 125 mcg/kg]
- 0.14 L/kg/hr [congestive heart failure patients, following infusions of 0.2 mcg/kg/min to 0.7 mcg/kg/min]
