    Notes: Abstract: The choroid plexus is intimately involved in the production and regulation of the cerebrospinal fluid. Populations of surface membranes from this epithelial tissue were separated by density gradient centrifugation by use of modified colloidal silica (Percoll). A fraction of heavy microsomes (P3) containing plasma membranes was prepared by differential centrifugation. Membranes in fraction P3 were mixed with a given concentration of Percoll and density gradients generated during centrifugation. When fraction P3 was mixed with 20% (v/v) Percoll and centrifuged at 20,000 r.p.m. for 1 h in a 50.2 Ti fixed-angle rotor, membranes containing alkaline phosphatase (AP) were found at a density of 1.037 g/cm3 while those containing NaK ATPase were found at 1.047 g/cm3. With more shallow density gradients using 12% and 14% Percoll, a broad shoulder of AP activity became manifest at densities greater than 1.060 g/cm3 suggesting multiple populations of membranes containing AP. Membranes containing AP could also be separated from membranes containing γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP); this separation was most pronounced in 12% Percoll. The activity of γ-GTP could not be separated from activity of NaK ATPase. Total protein was distributed broadly throughout the gradients. Studies have been undertaken to compare the behavior of choroidal membranes in Percoll gradients with that of renal membranes because the biochemical anatomy of the kidney has been extensively studied. In contrast to choroidal membranes, renal membranes with NaK ATPase activity were found to have densities lower than those membranes with AP. Thus, the distribution of membrane-bound enzymes from kidney in a Percoll gradient was exactly the opposite of that observed for these same enzymes from choroid plexus. In addition, unlike the γ-GTP activity of choroid plexus, γ-GTP from kidney could be separated from the activities of both alkaline phosphatase and NaK ATPase. These marked differences in membrane populations between choroid plexus and kidney as defined by Percoll density gradient centrifugation analyses are presumably reflective of differences in the functions of the two epithelial tissues.

    Notes: Background:  Low bone mineral density (BMD) is common in dialysis patients. Low BMD predicts the fracture risk in the general population. Bisphosphonate therapy improves BMD and lowers the fracture risk in many populations, but has not been tested in dialysis patients because of concerns about toxicity. In this investigation, the effect of a short course of alendronate on BMD in haemodialysis (HD) patients is evaluated.Methods:  Thirty-one healthy HD patients were randomized to placebo versus 40 mg alendronate, taken once a week for 6 weeks. Hip and lumbar spine BMD were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and at 6 months. Osteocalcin, parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorous and alkaline phosphatase levels were assayed at baseline and at 1, 3 and 6 months.Results:  The BMD and T-scores in specific regions of the hip were stable in the treatment group and decreased in the placebo group (P = 0.05). The lumbar spine density increased minimally in both groups. In the treatment group, osteocalcin levels declined significantly at 1 month (P 〈 0.05) and remained low. The main side-effect in the alendronate group was occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms in three subjects.Conclusions:  Low-dose alendronate, administered for a limited duration, appears to be well tolerated in dialysis patients. The BMD and T-scores declined at certain hip regions in the placebo group over 6 months, while remaining stable in the treatment group, suggesting a bone-preserving effect of alendronate. Further studies of longer duration, and including examination of bone histology, are needed to assess whether bisphosphonates can be used to preserve BMD in dialysis patients.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of furosemide and the attempt to correlate biological fluid measurements with diuretic response have been the subject of a large number of studies since the original reports of HajdÚ, Rupp, and coworkers in the mid-1960s. This article attempts to critically review these studies under seven different sections: furosemide pharmacokinetics in normal volunteers, furosemide pharmacokinetics in patients with decreased renal function, furosemide pharmacokinetics in patients with congestive heart failure, furosemide metabolism and assay methods, furosemide bioavailability, dose-response relationships, and the role of inhibitors and mediators on furosemide effects. The literature is reviewed through August 1978.

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous furosemide, 40 mg, were studied in four normal males in a crossover fashion with and without indomethacin pretreatment. In each study 16 plasma and 10 urine samples were collected over 24 hr. Fluid and electrolyte urinary losses were replaced orally throughout the study. Unchanged furosemide and indomethacin were measured using HPLC; urinary sodium was measured by flame photometry. Pretreatment with indomethacin resulted in increased and prolonged furosemide plasma levels, increased area under the curve, decreased plasma clearance, decreased renal clearance, increased half-life, no change in volume of distribution, and decreased sodium excretion and urine volume. Analysis of sodium excretion rate with time shows that the inhibiting effect of indomethacin was greater during the first 2 hr than at later times.

    Notes: Abstract Six normal adult volunteers were administered 15 mg/kg of ethambutol (EMB) by a constant-rate 1-hr infusion. Plasma and urine samples were collected up to 24 and 72 hr, respectively. Peak plasma levels following the 1-hr infusion ranged from 11.6 to 15.4 μg/ml. Subsequent postinfusion EMB levels exhibited multiphasic decay. In the 12-hr period following infusion, EMB levels showed biexponential decay. However, 24-hr plasma levels in all subjects were observed to be higher than those predicted using a two-compartment body model. The α phase in these subjects had a mean half-life of 8.6 min while the half-life of the β phase ranged from 2.5 to 3.6 hr (mean 3.1). The half-life of the γ phase estimated from plasma data points between 12 and 24 hr averaged 11.2±3.6 hr. A terminal γt1/2 of 15.4±1.7 hr was calculated from 12–72 hr urine data. The mean value for the steady-state volume of distribution using a noncompartmental method was 3.89 liters/kg. Plasma EMB clearance ranged from 7.47 to 9.87 ml/min/kg (mean 8.57). The fraction of the dose eliminated unchanged varied from 0.75 to 0.84 (mean 0.79). Renal clearance ranged from 5.93 to 8.45 ml/min/kg (mean 6.81), indicating active tubular secretion.

    Notes: Abstract A standard format for a Clinical Pharmacokinetic Summary is proposed. It consists of a heading, table, notes, and references for each drug reviewed. The table presents a unified and logical set of clinically useful population pharmacokinetic parameters. They concern four major areas: absorption, distribution, elimination, and the relationship of concentration to effect. Within each major group, parameters dealing with extents and rates of processes are given. Each such parameter is really two: a population mean value (for example, average volume of distribution) and the standard deviation of individual values about this mean. The first value allows individual predictions of dosage or drug level to be made; the second allows computation of the likely proximity of subsequently observed quantities to those predictions. The table presents single consensus values for each population parameter, rather than a list of values. A procedure for computing these consensus values, and for revising them in the light of new data, or reinterpreted old data, is given. Examples of Summaries are given. The method appears applicable to a variety of drugs. We suggest our approach as a standard one for preparing Clinical Pharmacokinetic Summaries, and urge our colleagues to consider it for that purpose.

    Notes: Abstract A range of bolus doses of 14 C-chlorothiazide and unlabeled drug (6.7–30 mg/kg) were administered to each of three unanesthetized rhesus monkeys with and without concurrent probenecid dosing. Plasma up to 4 h and urine up to 24 h were sampled frequently. Apparent terminal plasma half-lives ranged from 18 to 25 min in the absence of probenecid. No apparent trend was noted for the volume of distribution of the central compartment calculated from estimated plasma concentrations at time zero. For chlorothiazide studies, an average of 92% of the dose was recovered in urine by 24 hr. Plasma and urinary clearances at low doses were 20 to 50% higher than those found with higher doses. These dose-dependent clearances for chlorothiazide were found at doses parallel to the most often prescribed clinical doses in humans on a g chlorothiazide per kg body weight basis. Clearances in the presence of probenecid decreased two-to four-fold over those seen without probenecid. Incremental renal clearances of chlorothiazide in the studies with and without probenecid were also evaluated. Curvilinear segments characteristic of dose-dependent kinetics were demonstrated in graphs of urinary excretion rate versus plasma concentrations. Values of Michaelis-Menten constants Vmax and Km were calculated for renal excretion of chlorothiazide by active transport after intravenous doses in all three monkeys. The contribution of glomerular filtration to chlorothiazide renal clearance was found to be negligible. Values of the constant KI (the concentration of the probenecid competitive inhibitor of chlorothiazide, which doubles the apparent Km value of chlorothiazide) were calculated using the previously calculated Vmax and Km values.
