    Notes: Summary Baclofen, a centrally acting muscle relaxant, is used in the treatment of spasticity. Its pharmacokinetics has been derived from plasma and urine data in four healthy subjects, whose renal function was simultaneously measured. After oral administration of a single 40 mg dose, baclofen was mainly excreted unchanged by the kidney, 69 (14) %. The half-life, calculated from extended least squares modelling (ELSMOS) both of plasma and urine data was 6.80 (0.68) h, which is longer than reported in most studies based solely on plasma data. The renal excretion rate constant had the high mean value of 0.35 (0.24) h−1, and the apparent renal clearance of baclofen equalled the creatinine clearance. Passive tubular reabsorption is relatively unimportant, since no dependence was observed on variables urine flow or pH. Although active tubular secretion may contribute to its renal clearance, as shown by the effect of coadministration of probenecid, glomerular filtration appears to be the dominant transport mechanism.

    Renal excretion and pharmacokinetics of methotrexate and 7-hydroxy-methotrexate following a 24-h high dose infusion of methotrexate in children (1986)

    Notes: Summary In children with lymphoid malignancies 18 courses of methotrexate (18–200 mg/kg) administered as a 24-h infusion were monitored. Plasma concentrations and renal excretion rates of methotrexate (MTX) and 7-hydroxymethotrexate (7-OHMTX) were determined. A low correlation was found between the administered dose of MTX and the body exposure to MTX or 7-OHMTX. Although 84% of the MTX eventually recovered from the urine was excreted during the 24 h of the infusion, the renal clearance of MTX was markedly lower during the time of the infusion than after it. There were courses with a low and others with a high renal clearance of MTX during the infusion, despite the same urine flow. A low MTX renal clearance was correlated with a high body exposure to MTX. As the same variations were also seen in the same patient during successive courses, pharmacokinetical characterization of patients appears questionable. The renal clearance of 7-OHMTX was significantly lower than the renal clearance of MTX, and the body exposure to 7-OHMTX ranged from 2–40% of the MTX body exposure. Treatment courses with a low or a high body exposure to 7-OHMTX were not associated with different urinary recoveries of the metabolite. Differences in MTX hydroxylation could not be substantiated. Because the concentration of 7-OHMTX is high soon after the end of an infusion, a specific method of MTX determination should be chosen for controlling treatment.

    Pharmacokinetics of baclofen in spastic patients receiving multiple oral doses (1990)

    Notes: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of racemic baclofen as determined from plasma and urine data in six spastic patients treated with individualized oral doses, 30–80 mg daily, are presented. Peak plasma concentrations were achieved 1.9 h (±0.7) after a dose. The fluctuation in the plasma concentration was great, ranging from 188 to 439%. The total body clearance averaged 175 ml·min−1 (±44), plasma protein binding 35% (±6). Baclofen was for the greater part excreted unchanged by the kidney, 65% (±16). Its apparent renal clearance equalled the creatinine clearance. The contribution of the renal clearance to the total body clearance can explain the previously described toxicity when renal impairment is present. The results agree with earlier reports on single doses in healthy subjects.
