    Notizen: Abstract This paper reviews existing data on the variability in parameters relevant for health risk analyses. We cover both exposure-related parameters and parameters related to individual susceptibility to toxicity. The toxicity/susceptibility data base under construction is part of a longer term research effort to lay the groundwork for quantitative distributional analyses of non-cancer toxic risks. These data are broken down into a variety of parameter types that encompass different portions of the pathway from external exposure to the production of biological responses. The discrete steps in this pathway, as we now conceive them, are: •Contact Rate (Breathing rates per body weight; fish consumption per body weight) •Uptake or Absorption as a Fraction of Intake or Contact Rate •General Systemic Availability Net of First Pass Elimination and Dilution via Distribution Volume (e.g., initial blood concentration per mg/kg of uptake) •Systemic Elimination (half life or clearance) •Active Site Concentration per Systemic Blood or Plasma Concentration •Physiological Parameter Change per Active Site Concentration (expressed as the dose required to make a given percentage change in different people, or the dose required to achieve some proportion of an individual's maximum response to the drug or toxicant) •Functional Reserve Capacity–Change in Baseline Physiological Parameter Needed to Produce a Biological Response or Pass a Criterion of Abnormal Function Comparison of the amounts of variability observed for the different parameter types suggests that appreciable variability is associated with the final step in the process–differences among people in “functional reserve capacity.” This has the implication that relevant information for estimating effective toxic susceptibility distributions may be gleaned by direct studies of the population distributions of key physiological parameters in people that are not exposed to the environmental and occupational toxicants that are thought to perturb those parameters. This is illustrated with some recent observations of the population distributions of Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol from the second and third National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.

    Evaluation of the Uncertainty in an Oral Reference Dose for Methylmercury Due to Interindividual Variability in Pharmacokinetics (1999)

    Notizen: Abstract An analysis of the uncertainty in guidelines for the ingestion of methylmercury (MeHg) due to human pharmacokinetic variability was conducted using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model that describes MeHg kinetics in the pregnant human and fetus. Two alternative derivations of an ingestion guideline for MeHg were considered: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reference dose (RfD) of 0.1 μg/kg/day derived from studies of an Iraqi grain poisoning episode, and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry chronic oral minimal risk level (MRL) of 0.5 μg/kg/day based on studies of a fish-eating population in the Seychelles Islands. Calculation of an ingestion guideline for MeHg from either of these epidemiological studies requires calculation of a dose conversion factor (DCF) relating a hair mercury concentration to a chronic MeHg ingestion rate. To evaluate the uncertainty in this DCF across the population of U.S. women of child-bearing age, Monte Carlo analyses were performed in which distributions for each of the parameters in the PBPK model were randomly sampled 1000 times. The 1st and 5th percentiles of the resulting distribution of DCFs were a factor of 1.8 and 1.5 below the median, respectively. This estimate of variability is consistent with, but somewhat less than, previous analyses performed with empirical, one-compartment pharmacokinetic models. The use of a consistent factor in both guidelines of 1.5 for pharmacokinetic variability in the DCF, and keeping all other aspects of the derivations unchanged, would result in an RfD of 0.2 μg/kg/day and an MRL of 0.3 μg/kg/day.

    Notizen: Abstract  A simple and accurate method for the determination of phytosterols by capillary gas chromatography was developed for the analysis of the seeds and oil of the pumpkin Cucurbita pepo L., the naked seed variety growing in the southern Styrian parts of Austria. After extraction of the oil and saponification, the remaining unsaponifiable material was isolated and purified using silica gel columns. For greater volatility, the sterols were derivatised to trimethylsilylethers, and gas chromatography was performed on a column of high polarity, allowing separation of the Δ5-sterols from the Δ7-sterols and thus yielding a typical chromatographical pattern. Quantification of the phytosterols using 5α-cholestan or cholesterol as internal standards led to a method of high accuracy. Comparison of the chromatographic pattern of the phytosterol fraction of pumpkin seed oil with those of other vegetable oil samples permitted the use of this method to detect adulteration of pumpkin seed oil.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose: To determine possible schedule dependent pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between gemcitabine (2′,2′-difluorodeoxycytidine, dFdC) and cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum, CDDP) in patients with advanced stage solid tumors in a phase I trial. Patients and methods: A total of 33 patients with advanced stage solid tumors were treated with gemcitabine (30-min infusion, 800 mg/m2) and cisplatin (one-hour infusion, 50 mg/m2). Sixteen patients had a four-hour interval between gemcitabine (days 1, 8, 15) and cisplatin (days 1 and 8), followed by the reverse schedule and seventeen patients had a 24-hour interval between gemcitabine (days 1, 8, 15) and cisplatin (days 2 and 9), followed by the reverse schedule. Gemcitabine and cisplatin pharmacokinetics were measured in plasma and white blood cells (WBC), isolated from blood samples taken at several time points after the start of treatment. Results: A four-hour time interval between both agents did not reveal major differences in plasma pharmacokinetics of gemcitabine, dFdU (deaminated gemcitabine) and platinum (Pt), and of gemcitabine–triphosphate (dFdCTP) accumulation and Pt-DNA adduct formation in WBC between the two different sequences of gemcitabine and cisplatin. In the patients treated with the 24-hour interval, cisplatin before gemcitabine did not significantly change peak gemcitabine levels and the AUC of plasma dFdU, but tended to increase dFdCTP AUC in WBC 1.5-fold (P 〈 0.06). Gemcitabine before cisplatin decreased the plasma AUC of Pt 2.1-fold (P = 0.03). No significant differences in Pt-DNA adduct levels in WBC were found, although gemcitabine before cisplatin tended to increase the 24-hour retention of Pt-DNA adducts. Creatinine clearance on day 28 was related to the peak plasma levels of total Pt (linear regression coefficient (r) = 0.47, P = 0.02, n = 26). Furthermore, the increase in the Pt-GG to Pt-AG ratio 24 hours after cisplatin treatment was related to the overall response of patients (r = 0.89, P 〈 0.01, n = 8). Conclusions: Of all schedules the treatment of patients with cisplatin 24 hours before gemcitabine led to the highest dFdCTP accumulation in WBC and total Pt levels in plasma. These characteristics formed the basis for further investigation of this schedule in a phase II clinical study.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: The DNA repair protein O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyl transferase (AT) mediates resistance to chloroethylnitrosoureas. Agents depleting AT such as DTIC and its new analogue temozolomide (TMZ) can reverse resistance to chloroethylnitrosoureas. We report the results of a dose finding study of TMZ in association with fotemustine. Patients and methods: Twenty-four patients with metastatic melanoma or recurrent glioma were treated with escalating dose of oral or intravenous TMZ ranging from 300 to 700 mg/m2, divided over two days. Fotemustine 100 mg/m2 was given intravenously on day 2, 4 hours after TMZ. AT depletion was measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and in selected cases in melanoma metastases and was compared to TMZ pharmacokinetics. Results: The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TMZ was 400 mg/m2 (200 mg/m2/d) when associated with fotemustine the 2nd day with myelosuppression as dose limiting toxicity. The decrease of AT level in PBMCs was progressive and reached 34% of pretreatment values on day 2. There was however wide interindividual variability. AT reduction was neither dose nor route dependent and did not appear to be related to TMZ systemic exposure (AUC). In the same patients, AT depletion in tumour did not correlate with the decrease of AT observed in PBMCs. Conclusions: PBMCs may not be used as a surrogate of tumour for AT depletion. Further study should concentrate on the pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic relationship in tumour to provide the basis for individually tailored therapy.

    Notizen: Abstract The proportion of D- to L-enantiomers of aspartic acid in metabolically isolated proteins has been used by forensic scientists to estimate age at death. We have demonstrated the interference of a derivative of hydroxyproline (N-TFA isopropyl Hyp ester) with the N-TFA isopropyl L-Aspartic (Asp) acid ester during gas chromatography of amino acids. This has serious implications for the accurate quantification of the D- to L-Asp ratio extracted from collagenous proteins. Having demonstrated the potential for this co-elution in amino acid standards, acid-soluble dentine proteins and non-mineralised collagen, we argue that this problem can be overcome either by high resolution separation or by analysis of the (Hyp-poor) non-collagenous protein fraction.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Abstract Background: Platinum based drugs are active agents in epithelial ovarian cancer and increased platinum drug dose intensity is thought to lead to improved survival, because of the largely untested assumption that increased dose intensity results in an increased interaction of the platinum drug with its target, DNA. In a previously reported phase I trial (Lind et al., J Clin Oncol 1996; 14: 800–5), carboplatin dose intensity was increased by the use of G-CSF to support the bone marrow and using pharmacokinetically-guided carboplatin dosing. The objectives of this study were to validate the carboplatin dosing formula during high dose intensity therapy and evaluate the relationship between systemic carboplatin exposure and Pt-DNA adduct levels in peripheral blood leucocytes. Patients and methods: A total of 17 patients were studied over four levels of dose intensification. The carboplatin dose was calculated using the ‘Calvert formula’. Levels of drug-target interaction in peripheral blood leukocytes were measured using an immunoassay based on a monoclonal antibody that recognises DNA-platinum adducts. Pharmacokinetic measurements were carried out using a previously validated single sample method. Results: The area under the curve of concentration of unbound carboplatin in plasma versus time (AUC) for target AUC values of 5, 7 and 9 mg/ml·min were: 5.6 ± 1.0, 7.3 ± 0.7 and 9.8 ± 0.5 mg/ml·min (mean ± S.D.). There was a good correlation between target and achieved dose intensities (r2 = 0.899) and the slope of the linear regression line was 0.95 (± 0.09 SD) not significantly different to 1.0 (P 〉 0.6). The levels of immunoreactive DNA adducts were not detectable at a target AUC of 5 mg/ml·min but increased progressively at the higher AUC levels. Accumulation of adducts between courses was not detected. Conclusions: Pharmacokinetically-based carboplatin dosing during high intensity therapy accurately predicted the dose required to achieve a target AUC and resulted in consistent patient exposure to active drug. During the dose escalation study, peripheral blood leucocyte DNA platinum-DNA adduct levels were positively related to drug dose and drug AUC.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: Most patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have undergone unilateral- and some bilateral nephrectomy. Because interleukin-2 (IL-2) is thought to be mainly cleared via the kidneys, we investigated whether IL-2 treatment is safe in anephric patients. Patients and methods: The pharmacokinetics of i.v. bolus, i.v. infusion and s.c. recombinant IL-2 were investigated in two anephric patients with progressive metastatic RCC. Results: Following i.v. bolus administration of IL-2, plasma half-lives of 126 and 84 minutes respectively, and plasma clearances of 151 ml/min and 273 ml/min respectively, were measured in the two patients. In one patient plasma clearance of IL-2 was enhanced to 760 ml/min after continuous i.v. infusion of 4 and 6 million IU IL-2/24 hours, as compared to a clearance of 310 ml/min at a dose of 2 million IU IL-2/24 hours. In the other patient, during IL-2 infusion of 2, 4 or 6 × 106 IU/24 hours, each over the course of 3 days, plasma clearance of IL-2 increased from 311 to 761, and to 687 ml/min, respectively. IL-2 could not be detected in haemo- or peritoneal dialysates. Conclusions: IL-2 plasma half-life is only moderately prolonged in anephric patients as compared to patients with normal renal function. Based on our findings, intravenous or subcutaneous treatment of anephric patients with IL-2 seems feasible.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: The combination of doxorubicin (Dx) with paclitaxel or docetaxel is clinically effective but there are concerns regarding the higher incidence of cardiotoxicity of the combination compared with Dx alone. The mechanism of the increased toxicity is still unclear. Purpose: To assess whether there is a pharmacokinetic interaction between paclitaxel, docetaxel or their vehicles and Dx in mice. Materials and methods: CDF1 male mice were treated with Dx either alone (10 mg/kg i.v.) or in combination with paclitaxel (25 mg/kg) or docetaxel (25 mg/kg) or their vehicles, i.e., cremophor-ethanol-glucose (cremophor) or polysorbate80-ethanol-glucose (polysorbate). Four mice were killed 4, 8 or 24 hours after Dx in each experimental group and Dx was assayed in serum and in heart, liver, kidney and spleen by HPLC. Results: Four hours after treatment the concentrations of Dx in heart, liver and kidney were much higher in mice concomitantly treated with paclitaxel, docetaxel (dissolved in either cremophor or polysorbate) and cremophor. At subsequent times the differences were modest and only reached statistical significance in a few cases. Dx metabolites were modified by concomitant treatment with taxanes or their vehicles. In particular, the levels of Dx aglycone in liver and kidney were significantly lower in mice treated with the combination than in mice given Dx alone. Conclusions: paclitaxel, docetaxel and cremophor when given together with Dx modify its distribution and metabolism, increasing Dx levels in many tissues including the heart. This might have some bearing on the toxicity of regimens in which Dx is combined with taxanes.

    Notizen: Abstract This paper reviews the current literature describing the metabolism of both multi-receptor clozapine analogue atypical antipsychotic drugs (clozapine, olanzapine, and quetiapine) and serotonin-dopamine antagonist atypical antipsychotic drugs (risperidone, sertindole and ziprasidone), to highlight the significance of those data in the context of clinical practice. The former group of atypical antipsychotic drugs shares a similar tricyclic structural nucleus and are metabolized through three major categorical metabolic pathways—N +-oxidation, N-glucuronidation, and phases 1 and 2 biotransformation with final glucuronidation before renal excretion. Differing in clozapine and olanzapine, quetiapine has incomplete data describing its metabolism. The latter group of atypical antipsychotic drugs has diversified chemical structures and absence of data on N +-oxidation and N-glucuronidation in the literature. But their metabolic routes in phase 1 biotransformation are versatile although current data are far from completion. No apparent significant drug interactions in clinical practice are reported, although QT prolongation is implicated in all those three drugs. None of all six atypical antipsychotic drugs are identified as significant inhibitors or inducers to any co-administered medication. The author suggests the need for more research to address some pertinent clinical issues in the metabolism of those drugs.

    Notizen: Abstract An excretion balance and pharmacokinetic study was conducted in cancer patients with solid tumors who received a single oral dose of capecitabine of 2000 mg including 50 μ Ci of 14C-radiolabelled capecitabine. Blood, urine and fecal samples were collected until radioactive counts had fallen to below 50 dpm/mL in urine, and levels of intact drug and its metabolites were measured in plasma and urine by LC/MS-MS (mass spectrometry) and 19F-NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) respectively. Based on the results of the 6 eligible patients enrolled, the dose was almost completely recovered in the urine (mean 95.5%, range 86–104% based on radioactivity measurements) over a period of 7 days after drug administration. Of this, 84% (range 71–95) was recovered in the first 12 hours. Over this time period, 2.64% (0.69–7.0) was collected in the feces. Over a collection period of 24–48h, a total of 84.2% (range 80–95) was recovered in the urine as the sum of the parent drug and measured metabolites (5′-DFCR, 5′-DFUR, 5-FU, FUH2, FUPA, FBAL). Based on the radioactivity measurements of drug-related material, absorption is rapid (tmax 0.25–1.5 hours) followed by a rapid biphasic decline. The parent drug is rapidly converted to 5-FU, which is present in low levels due to the rapid metabolism to FBAL, which has the longest half-life. There is a good correlation between the levels of radioactivity in the plasma and the levels of intact drug and the metabolites, suggesting that these represent the most abundant metabolites of capecitabine. The absorption of capecitabine is rapid and almost complete. The excretion of the intact drug and its metabolites is rapid and almost exclusively in the urine.

    Notizen: Abstract We have developed a specific and sensitive method aiming atdocetaxel (Taxotere®) determination in plasma of treatedpatients. This involved solid-phase extraction of 1 ml of plasmaonto carboxylic acid (CBA) grafted silica cartridges followed byreversed-phase liquid chromatography with UV detection. The bestselectivity was obtained through the use of C18 Uptisphere® asstationary phase. The low limit of quantitation obtained (LOQ:5 ng/ml) allowed measurements of docetaxel up to 24 hours afterone-hour infusions with low dosages of drug (60 mg/m2). Themethod was applied successfully to monitor docetaxel plasma levelswithin two protocols associating fixed dosages of either methotrexate or gemcitabine with escalating doses of Taxotere®.

    Notizen: Abstract The distribution of radio-labeled ACNU, MTX and 5-FU in brain and tumor tissue was studied in female Wistar rats by macroautoradiography after intrathecal administration. In normal rats, ACNU and 5-FU, administered intracisternally, distributed rapidly in the subarachnoid space, ventricular system and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). 5-FU and MTX penetrated the brain deeply; the diffusional transport of ACNU was limited to a depth of 1 or 2 mm from the CSF surface of the brain. MTX and 5-FU clearance into the blood circulation was rather slow while ACNU cleared relatively quickly. The half time of ACNU, 5-FU and MTX radioactivity at the ventricular surface was 10, 21, and 110 min, respectively, at their maximal concentration after intracisternal administration. In rats with leptomeningeal tumor induced by intracisternal inoculation of Walker 256 cells, the distribution patterns of ACNU, 5-FU, and MTX were essentially the same as in normal rats despite 10–20 cell layers of tumor growing in the subarachnoid space. 5-FU and MTX were able to penetrate tumor masses in the subarachnoid space; MTX penetration was slower than that of 5-FU and ACNU failed to penetrate to more than a depth of 1 or 2 mm from the tumor surface.

    Notizen: Abstract Pharmacological inhibition of GABA uptake transporters provides a mechanism for increasing GABAergic transmission, which may be useful in the treatment of various neurological disorders. The purpose of our investigations was to develop an integrated pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model for the characterization of the pharmacological effect of tiagabine, R-N-(4,4-di-(3-methylthien-2-yl)but-3-enyl)nipecotic acid, in individual rats in vivo. The tiagabine-induced increase in the amplitude of the EEG 11.5–30 Hz frequency band (β), was used as pharmacodynamic endpoint. Chronically instrumented male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to four groups which received an infusion of 3, 10, or 30 mg kg −1 $$(\bar x \pm SE,{\text{ }}n = 23)$$ $$96 \pm 9$$ ml min -1 kg−1, 1.5ŷ0.1 L kg−1 and 20ŷ0.2 min.A time delay was observed between the occurrence of maximum plasma drug concentrations and maximal response. A physiological PK/PD model has been used to account for this time delay, in which a biophase was postulated to account for tiagabine available to the GABA uptake carriers in the synaptic cleft and the increase in EEG effect was considered an indirect response due to inhibition of GABA uptake carriers. The population values for the pharmacodynamic parameters characterizing the delay in pharmacological response relative to plasma concentrations were keo=0.030 min −1 and kout=81 min−1, respectively. Because of the large difference in these values the PK/PD model was simplified to the effect compartment model. Population estimates $$(\bar x \pm SE)$$ were E0=155 ŷ 6 μV, Emax=100 ŷ 5 μV, EC50=287 ŷ 7 ng ml−1, Hill factor=1.8 ŷ 0.2 and keo=0.030 ŷ 0.002 min −1. The results of this analysis show that for tiagabine the combined “effect compartment-indirect response” model can be simplified to the classical “effect compartment” model.

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: Abstract For anesthetic drugs undergoing nonorgan-based elimination, there is a definite trend towards using pharmacokinetic (PK) models in which elimination can occur from both central (k10 ) and peripheral compartments(k20 ). As the latter cannot be assessed directly, assumptions have to be made regarding its value. The primary purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of assuming various degrees of peripheral elimination on the estimation of PK parameters. For doing so, an explanatory model is presented where previously published data from our laboratory on three muscle relaxants, i.e., atracurium, doxacurium, and mivacurium, are used for simulations. The mathematical aspects for this explanatory model as well as for two specific applications are detailed. Our simulations show that muscle relaxants having a short elimination half-life are more affected by the presence of peripheral elimination as their distribution phase occupies the major proportion of their total area under the curve. Changes in the exit site dependent PK parameters (Vdss ) are also mostly significant when k20 is smaller than k10 . Although the physiological processes that determine drug distribution and those affecting peripheral elimination are independent, the two are mathematically tied together in the two-compartment model with both central and peripheral elimination. It follows that, as greater importance is given to k20 , the rate of transfer from the central compartment (k12 ) increases. However, as a result of a proportional increase in the volume of the peripheral compartment, peripheral concentrations remain unchanged whether or not peripheral elimination is assumed. These findings point out the limitations of compartmental analysis when peripheral elimination cannot be measured directly.

    Notizen: Abstract The disposition kinetics and dosage regimen of enrofloxacin were investigated in breeding buffalo bulls following a single intramuscular administration of 5 mg/kg. The absorption half-life, half-life of the terminal phase, apparent volume of distribution and total body clearance were 0.262±0.099 h, 1.97±0.23 h, 0.61±0.13 L/kg and 210.2±18.6 ml/(kg.h), respectively. Therapeutic plasma levels (≥1 μg/ml) were maintained for up to 6 h. A satisfactory intramuscular dosage regimen for enrofloxacin in buffalo bulls would be 8.5 mg/kg followed by 8.0 mg/kg at 8 h intervals.

    Notizen: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin were studied in five Desert sheep and five Nubian goats after intravenous (i.v.) or intramuscular (i.m.) administration of a single dose of 10 mg/kg body weight. Following i.v. injection, the plasma concentration-versus-time data were best described by a two-compartment open model. The kinetic variables were similar in both species except for the volume of the central compartment (Vc), which was larger in sheep (p〈0.05). Following i.m. injection, except for the longer half-life time of absorption in goats (p〈0.05), there were no significant differences in other pharmacokinetic parameters between sheep and goats. The route of amoxicillin administration had no significant effect on the terminal elimination half-life in either species. The bioavailability of the drug (F) after i.m. administration was high (〉0.90) in both species. These results indicate that the pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin did not differ between sheep and goats; furthermore, because of the high availability and short half-life of absorption, the i.m. route gives similar results to the i.v. route. Therefore, identical intramuscular and intravenous dose regimens should be applicable to both species.

    Notizen: Abstract The strategic use of single therapeutic doses of closantel, tetramisole or sustained low-level administration of albendazole in feed pellets in controlling naturally acquired parasitic gastroenteritis in sheep was investigated on a farm in semi-arid Rajasthan, India. A total of 303 5- to 6-month-old sheep were divided into three groups. Two groups were dosed with single therapeutic doses of closantel and tetramisole and the third group was given a low-level medication with albendazole through feed pellets for 30 days. Faecal egg counts revealed significantly lower counts (p〈0.001) in the group treated with closantel compared to the other two groups. The faecal egg counts in the group receiving sustained low-level albendazole rose after withdrawal of the medication but remained significantly lower than those in the group treated with tetramisole up to 7 weeks after treatment (p〈0.05). On the other hand, in the group treated with tetramisole, the mean faecal egg count rose from 3 weeks after treatment and remained continuously higher than those in any other group up to 12 weeks after treatment. The closantel-treated group gained more body weight but the first six-monthly greasy fleece yield was greater in the group treated with medicated pellets. During the first 3 months of the experiment, three animals in the group treated with tetramisole died of parasitic gastroenteritis. Following sustained low-level administration of albendazole in feed pellets, the plasma disposition curve of both the sulphoxide and sulphone metabolites reached its plateau level by day 5 and remained almost constant thereafter. The comparative cost-effectiveness of the three treatment regimes during the first 3 months of treatment was best for the group treated with closantel followed by the group treated with medicated feed pellets.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Abstract Some pharmacokinetic parameters of eprinomectin were determined in goats following topical application at a dose rate of 0.5 mg/kg. The plasma concentration versus time data for the drug were analysed using a one-compartment model. The maximum plasma concentration of 5.60±1.01 ng/ml occurred 2.55 days after administration. The area under the concentration–time curve (AUC) was 72.31±11.15 ng day/ml and the mean residence time (MRT) was 9.42±0.43 days. Thus, the systemic availability of eprinomectin to goats was significantly lower than that for cows. The low concentration of eprinomectin in the plasma of goats suggests that the pour-on dose of 0.5 mg/kg would be less effective in this species than in cows. Further relevant information about the optimal dosage and residues in the milk of dairy goats is needed before eprinomectin should be used in this species.

    Notizen: Abstract The influence of the quality and quantity of diets on the disposition kinetics of albendazole were studied in sheep in two different experiments. The plasma concentration profiles of albendazole sulphoxide and albendazole sulphone were measured following intraruminal administration of albendazole at 5.0 mg/kg body weight in weaner sheep offered three different diets: 100% green Sorghum spp., 100% dry mature Cenchrus ciliaris hay and a 50:50 mix of these two diets. The peak plasma concentrations and the availability of the albendazole metabolites, as measured by the area under the concentration–time curve, were significantly higher (p〈0.01) in the animals offered exclusively dry fodder compared to other diets. Changing the diet from dry to green fodder resulted in a significantly lower systemic availability of the drug metabolites. It is suggested that a decreased transit time of the digesta in the bowel on the green diet, with its high water content, limited the systemic availability of the drug by reducing the time available for gastrointestinal absorption. An experiment on the influence of different levels of pretreatment fasting on the pharmacokinetics of albendazole revealed significantly higher (p〈0.05) plasma concentrations of the anthelmintically active sulphoxide metabolite from 12 h onwards following administration of the drug in animals subjected to 24 h of pretreatment fasting compared to other groups with pretreatment fasting of 8, 12 or 18 h. The area under the concentration–time curve and the minimum residence time of the drug metabolites were significantly greater (p〈0.05) in animals that had been fasted for 24 h. It is suggested that fasting induces a decrease in the flow of digesta through the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants and prolongs the duration of dissolution of the drug, resulting in enhancement of the absorption of albendazole and of the systemic availability of its metabolites.

    Notizen: Abstract We have previously described a method of rapidly obtaining a specified steady-state plasma concentration of an intravenous drug within precise limits. However the method is limited to drugs whose disposition may be characterized by an open two-compartment system. In this paper, we illustrate how the method can be extended to drugs whose disposition may be characterized by a mammillary model with any number of compartments. Refinements of our previous technique are also described.

    Notizen: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of hu1124, a human anti-CD11a antibody, were investigated in human subjects with psoriasis. CD11a is a subunit of LFA-1, a cell surface molecule involved in T cell mediated immune responses. Subjects received a single dose of 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1, 2, 3, or 10 mg/kg of hu1124 intravenously over 1–3 hr. Blood samples were collected at selected times from 60 min to 72 days after administration. Plasma samples were assayed for hu1124 by ELISA, and pharmacokinetic analyses were performed on the drug plasma concentrations. As the dose of hu1124 was increased, the clearance decreased from 322 ml/day per kg at 0.1 mg/kg to 6.6 ml/day per kg at 10 mg/kg of hu1124. The plasma hu1124 concentration–time profile suggested that the clearance of hu1124 was saturable above 10 μg/ml. In addition, treatment with hu1124 caused a rapid reduction in the level of CD11a expression on CD3-positive lymphocytes (T cells) to about 25% of pretreatment levels. Regardless of the hu1124 dose administered, cell surface CD11a remained at this reduced level as long as hu1124 was detectable (〉0.025 μg/ml) in the plasma. When hu1124 levels fell below 3 μg/ml, the drug was rapidly cleared from the circulation and expression of CD11a returned to normal within 7–10 days thereafter. In vitro, half-maximal binding of hu1124 to lymphocytes was achieved at about 0.1 μg/ml and saturation required more than 10 μg/ml. One of the receptor-mediated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic models which was developed describes the dynamic interaction of hu1124 binding to CD11a, resulting in the removal of hu1124 from the circulation and reduction of cell surface CD11a. The model accounts for the continually changing number of CD11a molecules available for removing hu1124 from the circulation based on prior exposure of cells expressing CD11a to hu1124. In addition, the model also accounts for saturation of CD11a molecules by hu1124 at drug concentrations of approximately 10 μg/ml, thereby reducing the clearance rate of hu1124 with increasing dose.

    Notizen: Abstract Population approaches are appealing methods for detecting then assessing drug–drug interactions mainly because they can cope with sparse data and quantify the interindividual pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) variability. Unfortunately these methods sometime fail to detect interactions expected on biochemical and/or pharmacological basis and the reasons of these false negatives are somewhat unclear. The aim of this paper is firstly to propose a strategy to detect and assess PD drug–drug interactions when performing the analysis with a nonparametric population approach, then to evaluate the influence of some design variates (i.e., number of subjects, individual measurements) and of the PD interindividual variability level on the performances of the suggested strategy. Two interacting drugs A and B are considered, the drug B being supposed to exhibit by itself a pharmacological action of no interest in this work but increasing the A effect. Concentrations of A and B after concomitant administration are simulated as well as the effect under various combinations of design variates and PD variability levels in the context of a controlled trial. Replications of simulated data are then analyzed by the NPML method, the concentration of the drug B being included as a covariate. In a first step, no model relating the latter to each PD parameter is specified and the NPML results are then proceeded graphically, and also by examining the expected reductions of variance and entropy of the estimated PD parameter distribution provided by the covariate. In a further step, a simple second stage model suggested by the graphic approach is introduced, the fixed effect and its associated variance are estimated and a statistical test is then performed to compare this fixed effect to a given value. The performances of our strategy are also compared to those of a non-population-based approach method commonly used for detecting interactions. Our results illustrate the relevance of our strategy in a case where the concentration of one of the two drugs can be included as a covariate and show that an existing interaction can be detected more often than with a usual approach. The prominent role of the interindividual PD variability level and of the two controlled factors is also shown.

    Notizen: Abstract Saruplase, or unglycosylated, single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) selectively activates fibrin-bound plasminogen, and is subsequently converted to its two-chain derivative tcu-PA (urokinase) by plasmin. The efficacy of a 20 mg IV bolus followed by an infusion of 60 mg over 1 hour (standard regimen) has been demonstrated in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The Bolus Administration of Saruplase in Europe (BASE) study compared the efficacy of standard therapy, single bolus (80 mg), and split bolus (2 × 40 mg at 30-minute intervals) in AMI. In a substudy of BASE, the pharmacokinetics of total u-PA activity (amidolytic activity after plasmin treatment), high molecular weight (HMW) u-PA antigen, and tcu-PA activity were compared in patients receiving standard therapy (n = 4), single bolus (n = 4), or split bolus (n = 5). Total u-PA activity and HMW u-PA antigen were similar. The maximum concentration (Cmax,, mean ± SD) of total u-PA activity was 2.2 ± 0.3 µg/mL after standard therapy, 16.3 ± 3.9 µg/mL after single bolus, and 8.2 ± 1.6 ug/mL after split bolus. The area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) values of total u-PA activity were 1.7 ± 0.1 µg/mL*h (standard therapy), 4.0 ± 0.9 µg/mL*h (bolus), and 3.0 ± 0.7 µg/mL*h (split bolus). The dominant initial half-lives (t1/2 α) were 7.1 ± 1.1 minutes (standard), 8.8 ± 0.8 minutes (bolus), and 5.1 ± 2.1 minutes (split bolus). Maximum plasma concentrations of of tcu-PA activity were observed at 5.2 ± 7 minutes (standard), 21 ± 10 minutes (bolus), and 42 ± 2 minutes (split bolus). Cmax was lowest after standard therapy (0.6 ± 0.3 µg/mL), highest after bolus (4.2 ± 2.2 µg/mL), and approximately twice as high as standard therapy after split bolus (1.3 ± 0.8 µg/mL). After standard therapy the mean fibrinogen concentration decreased gradually from approximately 300 mg/dL to 70 mg/dL at 90 and 120 minutes. After a single bolus the fibrinogen concentration decreased below the limit of quantification within 30 minutes and remained there for at least 120 minutes. Directly after the second 40 mg dose of the split bolus, the fibrinogen levels had an accelerated and more pronounced decrease to approximately 65 mg/dL at 90 and 120 minutes. A single bolus results in very high early total u-PA activity, which accelerates the appearance of tcu-PA activity and fibrinogen consumption. The pharmacokinetics and hemostatic effects of the split-bolus regimen are more comparable with those of standard therapy.

    Notizen: Abstract Conventional compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis may provide inaccurate prediction of drug concentrations after rapid iv administration. To examine this, compartment and effect compartment analysis was applied to measured arterial and brain concentrations of propofol in sheep after iv administration at a range of doses and dose rates. Although arterial and brain concentrations were reasonably well fitted to compartmental and effect compartment models for individual doses and dose rates, the structure and parameters of all models differed with changes in both dose and rate of administration. There were large discrepancies between predicted and measured arterial and brain concentrations when these models were used to predict drug concentrations across doses and dose rates. These data support the limitations of this type of modeling in the setting of rapid propofol administration.

    Notizen: Abstract The objective of the present study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of desmopressin in healthy male subjects at different levels of overhydration. Also, we examined if an indirect-response model could be related to renal physiology and the pharmacological action of desmopressin. Eight healthy male subjects participated in this open, randomized crossover study with three periods. Each subject was orally water loaded (0 to 20ml·kg −1 body weight) on 3 study days in order to achieve three different levels of hydration. After the initial water load, urine was voided every 15 min and the volumes were measured. To ensure continuous overhydration the subjects replaced their fluid loss with drinking-water. When a steady-state diuresis was achieved after approximately 2 hr, 0.396 μg of desmopressin was administered intravenously as a bolus injection. Blood was sampled and urine was collected at intervals throughout the study day (10 hr). An indirect-response model, where desmopressin was assumed to inhibit the elimination of response, was fit to the urine osmolarity data. There were no statistically significant effects of different levels of hydration, as expressed by urine flow rate at baseline, on the estimates of the PK and PD model parameters. The calculated terminal half-lives of elimination (t1/2 β) ranged between 2.76 and 8.37 hr with an overall mean of 4.36 hr. The overall means of plasma clearance and the volumes of distribution of the central compartment (Vc ) and at steady state (Vss ) were estimated to be 1.34 (SD 0.35) ml·min −1 ·kg −1 , 151 (SD28) ml·kg −1 , and 386 (SD 63) ml·kg −1 , respectively. High urine flow rate, indicating overhydration, produced a diluted urine and thus a low osmolarity at baseline (R0 ). The effect of the urine flow rate on the urine osmolarity at baseline was highly significant (p〈0.0001). The mean values for IC50 and the sigmoidicity factor (γ) were 3.7 (SD 1.2) pg·ml −1 and 13.0 (SD 3.5), respectively. In most cases when there was a high urine flow rate at baseline, the model and the estimated PD parameters could be related to the pharmacological action of desmopressin and renal physiology. Thus, the indirect-response model used in this study offers a mechanistic approach of modeling the effect of desmopressin in overhydrated subjects.

    Notizen: Abstract Basiliximab is an immunosuppressant chimeric monoclonal antibody directed to the human interleukin-2 receptor α-chain used for prevention of acute rejection episodes in organ transplantation. The minimally effective serum concentration necessary to saturate receptor epitopes in kidney transplant patients is 0.2 μg/ml. To guide dose selection for Phase 3 efficacy trials, a population pharmacostatistical model was fitted to intensively sampled Phase 2 pharmacokinetic data. This served as a basis from which to examine candidate dose regimens with respect to the duration over which receptor-saturating concentrations would be achieved posttransplant. Three prediction methods were assessed: one based on simulations, and two others based on first-order approximation using either inverse regression or inversion of confidence intervals. An 80% prediction interval was generated by each method to evaluate its predictive performance against prospectively collected Phase 3 data in 39 renal transplant patients who received two injections of 20mg basiliximab, one prior to surgery and one on Day 4 posttransplant. All methods provided correct prediction of the duration of receptor-saturating concentration. As anticipated, the best performance was obtained from the simulation method which predicted 30 values in the 80% prediction interval, 19.7–52.7 days. The actually observed 80% interval from the Phase 3 data was 23.7–58.3 days.

    Notizen: Abstract A physiologic pharmacodynamic model was developed to jointly characterize the effects of corticosteroid treatment on adrenal suppression and T-helper cell trafficking during single and multiple dosing in asthmatic patients. Methylprednisolone (MP), cortisol, and T-helper cell concentrations obtained from a previously published study during single day and 6 days of multiple dosing MP treatment were examined. The formation and disposition kinetics of MP were described with a compartmental model. The biorhythmic profile of basal cortisol secretion rate was analyzed using a recent Fourier approach based on circadian harmonics. A three-compartment loop model was proposed to represent three major T-helper cell pools: blood, extravascular site, and lymph nodes. T-helper cell synthesis and degradation rate constants were obtained from the literature. The suppressive effects of cortisol and MP on T-helper cell concentrations were described with a joint additive inhibition function altering the cell migration rate from lymph nodes to blood. The model adequately described both plasma cortisol profiles and T-helper cells in blood after single and multiple doses of MP. The potency of MP for suppression of cortisol secretion was estimated as IC50 = 0.8 ng/ml. The biorhythmic nature of the basal T-helper cells in blood was well described as under the influence of basal circadian cortisol concentrations with IC50 = 79 ng/ml. The model fitted potency of MP for suppression of T-helper cells was IC50 = 4.6 ng/ml. The observed rebound of T-helper cells in blood can also be described by the proposed model. The rhythm and suppression of plasma cortisol and T-helper cells before and during single and multiple dose MP treatment were adequately described by these extended indirect response models.

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. The effect-plasma concentration relationship of etomidate was studied in the rat using electroencephalographic changes as a pharmacodynamic parameter. Methods. Etomidate was infused (50 mg/kg/h) in chronically instrumented rats (n = 6) until isoelectric periods of 5 s or longer were observed in the electroencephalogram (EEG). The EEG was continuously recorded during the experiment and frequent arterial blood samples were taken for determination of etomidate plasma concentrations. The changes observed in the raw EEG signal were quantified using aperiodic analysis in the 2.5−7.5 Hz frequency band. The return of the righting reflex was used as another parameter of anesthesia. Results. A mean dose of 8.58 ± 0.41 mg/kg needed to be infused to reach the end point of 5 s isoelectric EEG. The plasma concentration time profiles were most adequately fitted using a three-exponential model. Systemic clearance, volume of distribution at steady-state and elimination half-life averaged 93 ± 6 ml/min/kg, 4.03 ± 0.24 l/kg and 59.4 ± 10.7 min respectively. The EEG effect-plasma concentration relationship was biphasic exhibiting profound hysteresis. Semi-parametric minimization of this hysteresis revealed an equilibration half-life of 2.65 ± 0.15 min, and the biphasic effect-concentration relationship was characterized nonparametrically by descriptors. The effect-site concentration at the return of the righting reflex was 0.44 ± 0.03 μg/ml. Conclusions. The results of the present study show that the concentration-effect relationship of etomidate can be characterized in individual rats using aperiodic analysis in the 2.5−7.5 Hz frequency band of the EEG. This characterization can be very useful for studying the influence of diseases on the pharmacodynamics of etomidate in vivo.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. The methodology of predicting the pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC, cmax, tmax) and the assessment of their variability in bioequivalence studies has been developed with the use of artificial neural networks. Methods. The data sets included results of 3 distinct bioequivalence studies of oral verapamil products, involving a total of 98 subjects and 312 drug applications. The modeling process involved building feedforward/backpropagation neural networks. Models for pharmacokinetic parameter prediction were also used for the assessment of their variability and for detecting the most influential variables for selected pharmacokinetic parameters. Variables of input neurons based on logistic parameters of the bioequivalence study, clinical-biochemical parameters, and the physical examination of individuals. Results. The average absolute prediction errors of the neural networks for AUC, cmax, and tmax prediction were: 30.54%, 39.56% and 30.74%, respectively. A sensitivity analysis demonstrated that for verapamil the three most influential variables assigned to input neurons were: total protein concentration, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, and heart-rate for AUC, AST levels, total proteins and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, for cmax, and the presence of food, blood pressure, and body-frame for tmax. Conclusions. The developed methodology could supply inclusion or exclusion criteria for subjects to be included in bioequivalence studies.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. Many compounds are applied to the skin with the aim of targeting deeper underlying tissues. This work sought to define the pharmacokinetics of solutes in tissues below a topical application site in terms of perfusate binding, tissue binding and perfusate flow rate. Methods. The disposition kinetics of diclofenac in a single pass perfused limb preparation after dermal application disposition was studied using dextran and bovine serum albumin (BSA) containing perfusates. A pharmacokinetic model was then developed to relate the tissue retention half lives for diclofenac, diazepam, water, lignocaine and salicylate to their fraction unbound in the tissues, their fraction unbound in the perfusate and the perfusate flow rate. Results. Diclofenac had estimated tissue retention half lives of 18.1 hr and 3.5 hr for the dextran and BSA containing perfusates, respectively. The fraction of diclofenac and other solutes unbound in the tissues correlated with their corresponding fraction unbound in the perfusate. The tissue retention half lives for diclofenac and other solutes could be described in terms of the fraction of solute unbound in the tissues and perfusate, together with the flow rate. Conclusions. The tissue pharmacokinetics of solutes below a topical application are a function of their binding in the tissues, binding in perfusate and local blood flow.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. To compare the venous irritation, pharmacokinetics, and tissue distribution of tirilazad in rats after intravenous administration of a submicron lipid emulsion with that of an aqueous solution. Methods. Venous irritation was determined by microscopic evaluation of injury to the lateral tail veins of rats. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by following plasma concentrations of drug. Tissue distribution of [14C]-tirilazad was determined by quantitative whole body autoradiography. Results. Single dose injections of tirilazad as an emulsion at doses ranging from 1.52 mg to 13.5 mg were non-irritating whereas the solution was irritating at a dose of 1.3 mg. The pharmacokinetic parameters were not statistically different between the emulsion and the solution (p 〉 0.2) at doses of 6 mg/kg/day and 20 mg/kg/day. However, at 65 mg/kg/day dose, a higher AUC(0,6) (4-fold) and lower Vss (18-fold) and CL(5-fold) were observed for the lipid emulsion as compared to the solution (p 〈 0.05). Tissue distribution showed higher initial concentrations (two fold or more) in most tissues for the solution. These values, however, equilibrated by 4 h and AUC(0,4) differences were less than two fold in most tissues. Conclusions. Formulating tirilazad in the lipid emulsion significantly reduces the venous irritation without changing the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution at low doses.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. Establishment of the pharmacokinetic profile of methotrexate (MTX) in the extracellular fluid (ECF) of a brain C6-glioma in rats. Methods. Serial collection of plasma samples and ECF dialysates after i.v. infusion of MTX (50 or 100 mg/kg) for 4 h. HPLC assay. Results. Histological studies revealed the presence of inflammation, edema, necrosis, and hemorrhage in most animals. In vivo recovery (reverse dialysis) was 10.8 ± 5.3%. MTX concentrations in tumor ECF represented about 1−2% of the plasma concentrations. Rapid equilibration between MTX levels in brain tumor ECF and plasma. ECF concentrations almost reached steady-state by the end of the infusion (4 h), then decayed in parallel with those in plasma. Doubling of the dose did not modify MTX pharmacokinetic parameters (t1/2α, t1/2β, MRT, fb, Vd, and CLT), except for a 1.7-fold increase of AUCPlasma and a 3.8-fold increase in AUCECF which resulted in a 2.3-fold increase in penetration (AUCECF/AUCPlasma). In spite of an important interindividual variability, a relationship between MTX concentrations in plasma and tumor ECF could be established from mean pharmacokinetic parameters. Conclusions. High plasma concentrations promote the penetration of MTX into brain tissue. However, free MTX concentrations in tumor ECF remain difficult to predict consistently.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. The purpose of the present study was to examine the pharmacokinetic features and tissue distribution of N-[2-(2-fluorophenethyl)]-N′-[2-(5-bromopyridyl)]-thiourea (HI-240), a novel non-nucleoside inhibitor of HIV reverse transcriptase with potent anti-viral activity against AZT-sensitive as well as multidrug-resistant HIV-1 strains. Methods. A sensitive and accurate high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based quantitative detection method was established to measure concentrations of HI-240 in pharmacokinetic studies. The plasma concentration-time data were modeled by using the WinNonlin program to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameter values. Results. HI-240 had an elimination half-life of 78.3 ± 2.0 min after i.v. administration and 196.8 ± 3.1 min after i.p. administration. The systemic clearance of HI-240 was 2194 ± 61 ml/h/kg after i.v. administration and 9339 ± 1160 ml/h/kg after i.p. administration. Following i.v. injection, HI-240 rapidly distributed to and accumulated in multiple tissues with particularly high accumulation in adipose tissue, adrenal gland, and uterus+ovary. The concentration of HI-240 in brain tissue was comparable to that in the plasma, indicating that HI-240 easily crosses the blood-brain-barrier. Following i.p. injection, HI-240 was rapidly absorbed with a t1/2ka and a tmax values of less than 10 min. Following oral administration, HI-240 was absorbed with a t1/2ka of 4.2 ±1.1 min and a tmax of 95.1 ± 25.1 min. The intraperitoneal bioavailability was estimated at 23.5%, while the oral bioavailability was only 1%. Conclusions. The HPLC-based accurate and precise analytical detection method and pilot pharmacokinetic studies described herein provide the basis for advanced preclinical pharmacodynamic studies of HI-240. The ability of HI-240 to distribute rapidly and extensively into extravascular compartments and easily cross the blood-brain barrier represent significant pharmacokinetic advantages over AZT.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. To examine the pharmacokinetic features and metabolism of calphostin C, a naturally occurring perylenequinone with potent antileukemic activity. Methods. HPLC-based quantitative detection methods were used to measure calphostin C levels in lysates of leukemic cells and in plasma of mice treated with calphostin C. The plasma concentration-time data were analyzed using the WinNonlin program. In vitro esterases and a microsome P450 preparation in conjunction with a LC-MS(API-EI) system were used to study the metabolism of calphostin C. Results. An intracellular exposure level (AUC0−6h) of 257 μM·h was achieved after in vitro treatment of NALM-6 cells with calphostin C at a 5 μM final concentration in culture medium. After intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of a 40 mg/kg nontoxic bolus dose of calphostin C, the estimated Cmax was 2.9 μM, which is higher than the effective in vitro concentration of calphostin C against leukemic cells. Drug absorption after i.p. administration was rapid with an absorption half-life of 24.2 min and the estimated tmax was 63.0 min. Calphostin C was cleared with an elimination half-life of 91.3 min. An inactive and smaller metabolite (calphostin B) was detected in plasma of calphostin C-treated mice with a tmax of 41.3 min. Esterase (but not P450) treatment of calphostin C in vitro yielded an inactive metabolite (calphostin B) of the same size and elution profile. Conclusions. Target plasma calphostin C concentrations of potent antileukemic activity can be reached in mice at nontoxic dose levels. This pilot pharmacokinetic study of calphostin C combined with the availability of the described quantitative HPLC method for its detection in cells and plasma provide the basis for future preclinical evaluation of calphostin C and its potential as an anti-leukemic drug.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. To evaluate the role of different routes and modes of administration of bezafibrate (BZF) on its hypolipidemic activity. We hypothesize that the major sites of BZF action are located presystemically as in other 'gastrointestinal (GI) drugs.' Thus, continuous administration of the drug to the GI tract is expected to augment its efficacy and provides a rationale for an oral sustained release preparation of the drug. Methods. The hypothesis was investigated in three experimentally induced-hyperlipidemia rat models. Models A and B were based on cholesterol-enriched diets and Model C on induced acute hyperlipidemia by triton 225 mg/kg. The pharmacokinetics and the pharmacodynamics of the drug following various modes of administration were examined. Results. In all cases, continuous administration of the drug into the duodenum (IGI) at a dose of 30 mg/kg/day for 3 days (Models A and B) or over 18 hr (Model C) reduced significantly both total cholesterol and triglycerides levels and elevated HDL cholesterol levels in comparison to bolus oral administration of the same dose, as well as in comparison to equivalent intravenous infusion (Model C). Infusion of the drug directly into the portal vein produced an equivalent activity to IGI administration. The pharmacokinetic study showed 100% oral bioavailability, good colonic absorption properties and an indication for an enterohepatic cycle. Conclusions. The results confirm that BZF has a first pass hepatic pharmacodynamic effect. Administration of BZF in a slow release matrix tablet to the rats produced the same magnitude of effect as IGI administration, thus proving the pharmacodynamic rationale for this mode of administration for GI drugs.

    Notizen: Summary. Memantine is an uncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist which blocks the NMDA receptor with moderate-affinity in a use- and voltage dependent manner. In clinical practice it is used chronically in the treatment of dementia and does not induce psychotomimetic effects as, high affinity, uncompetitive antagonists. Thus, it was of interest to determine dopamine (DA) and metabolite (DOPAC – dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and HVA – homovanillic acid) concentrations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in response to 14 days administration of memantine (20 mg/kg/day). It was previously determined that in rats this treatment induces sensitization to the locomotor effect and tolerance to the learning impairing properties of high doses of memantine. Acute administration of memantine (20 mg/kg, ip) did not affect dopamine levels in the PFC. It did however increase DA metabolite (DOPAC and HVA) concentrations. Administration of memantine (20 mg/kg/day) for 14 days before the acute challenge only slightly changed memantine's effect on PFC neurochemistry even though pharmacokinetic tolerance was observed. When memantine was administered to the sham group, which had been repeatedly treated with Hypnorm (including neuroleptic), an increase in PFC dopamine and metabolite content was seen. In accordance with the fact that memantine does not possess psychotomimetic activity at therapeutically relevant doses, these experiments showed that it does not affect the prefrontal cortex dopamine levels.

    Notizen: Abstract The pharmacokinetics of free and different liposomal formulations of hexadecylphosphocholine (HPC) was investigated in tumor-bearing (human mammary tumor MaTu) and tumor-free mice after intravenous and intraperitoneal administration. The levels of HPC were evaluated at different times in serum, normal tissues, and tumor. The purpose was to test the hypothesis that the enhanced therapeutic efficacy of sterically stabilized HPC liposomes in comparison to conventional vesicles and free HPC is due to its pharmacokinetics. Conventional non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis and an elaborate three- and four-compartmental model were used for explaining the experimental data. The serum levels of HPC obtained with sterically stabilized liposomes were only consistently higher in comparison to conventional vesicles and free HPC in the first 4 h. In the xenografted MaTu carcinoma, the differences of the HPC content between the different groups are unexpectedly low and do not reflect the high therapeutic activity [5] of sterically stabilized HPC liposomes. Detailed analysis shows that the liposomally encapsulated drug displays a modified pharmacokinetic behavior, which may also involve lymphatic absorption of the liposomal drug.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung Es wird die chemische Synthese von Alkylglucuroniden beschrieben, die nach Konsum von begleitstoffhaltigen Getränken als Metaboliten im Urin erscheinen. Von folgenden Alkoholen wurden die Glucuronide synthetisiert: Methanol, d5-Ethanol, Propanol, Isopropanol, Butanol, Isobutanol, R-(–)-2-Butanol, S-(+)-2-Butanol, Isopentanol, S-(–)-2-Methylbutanol. Die Retentionsindizes der Acetyl-, Pentafluorpropyl(PFP)- und Trimethylsilyl(TMS)-derivate werden mitgeteilt und der Einfluß der chemischen Struktur auf den RI-Wert diskutiert. Die Massenspektren der homologen Derivate erwiesen sich als sehr ähnlich, aber einige Fragmente sind spezifisch für die Kettenlänge der Alkylgruppe und können zur Identifizierung und Quantifizierung der Glucuronide in Urinproben herangezogen werden.
    Notizen: Abstract The chemical synthesis of alkyl glucuronides, which appear as metabolites in urine after the consumption of beverages containing congeners of ethanol, is described. Glucuronides of the following alcohols were synthesized: methanol, d5-ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, R-(–)-2-butanol, S-(+)-2-butanol, isopentanol and S-(–)-2-methylbutanol. The retention indices of acetyl, pentafluorpropyl (PFP) and trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives are given and discussed in relation to the chemical structures. Mass spectra of homologous derivatives were shown to be very similar but some fragments were specific for the chain length of the alkyl moiety and can be used for identification and a quantitative estimation of glucuronides in urine samples.

    Notizen: Abstract 1. The cytochrome P450 enzyme family is one of the major drug metabolizing systems in man. 2. Factors such as age, gender, race, environment, and drug treatment may have considerable influence on the activity of these enzymes. 3. There are now well-established in vitro techniques for assessing the role of specific cytochrome P450 enzymes in the metabolism of drugs, as well as the inhibitory or inducing effects of drugs on enzyme activity. In vitro data have been utilized to predict clinical outcomes (i.e., pharmacokinetic interactions), with close correlations between in vitro and in vivo data. 4. This information can be of considerable practical assistance to clinicians, to help with rational prescribing or to prevent or minimize the potential for drug interactions.

    Notizen: Abstract 1. Many drugs used to treat psychiatric disorders contain a chiral center or a center of unsaturation and are marketed as a mixture of the resultant enantiomers or geometric isomers, respectively. These enantiomers or geometric isomers may differ markedly with regard to their pharmacodynamic and/or pharmacokinetic properties. 2. Examples of the effects of chiral centers or geometric centers on such properties are given for drugs from the following classes: antidepressants (tricyclics, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, viloxazine, bupropion, trazodone, mianserin, venlaflaxine); benzodiazepines, zoplicone, and antipsychotics. 3. As described in this review, there are several notable examples of psychiatric drugs currently available where the individual enantiomers or geometric isomers differ considerably with regard to factors such as effects on amine transport systems, interactions with receptors and metabolizing enzymes, and clearance rates from the body. Indeed, relatively recent developments in analytical and preparative resolution of racemic and geometric drug mixtures and increased interest in developing new drugs which interact with specific targets, which have been described in detail at the molecular level, have resulted in increased emphasis on stereochemistry in drug development.

    Notizen: Abstract 1. Five drugs with the predominant pharmacologic effect of inhibiting the neuronal reuptake of serotonin are available worldwide for clinical use. This class of psychoactive drugs, known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), is comprised of fluoxetine, sertraline, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, and citalopram. 2. The SSRIs appear to share similar pharmacodynamic properties which translate to efficacy in the treatment of depression and anxiety syndromes. The drugs are differentiated by their pharmacokinetic properties with regard to stereochemistry, metabolism, inhibition of cytochrome enzymes, and participation in drug–drug interactions. Studies focusing on the relationship of plasma drug concentration to therapeutic and adverse effects have not confirmed the value of plasma concentration monitoring. 3. This review summarizes the metabolism and relevant pharmacokinetic properties of the SSRIs.

    Notizen: Abstract 1. Despite the considerable advances in the treatments available for mood disorders over the past generation, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) remain an important option for the pharmacotherapy of depression. 2. The pharmacokinetics of TCAs are characterized by substantial presystemic first-pass metabolism, a large volume of distribution, extensive protein binding, and an elimination half-life averaging about 1 day (up to 3 days for protriptyline). 3. Clearance of tricyclics is dependent primarily on hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) oxidative enzymes. Although the activities of some P450 isoenzymes are largely under genetic control, they may be influenced by external factors, such as the concomitant use of other medications or substances. Patient variables, such as ethnicity and age, also affect TCA metabolism. The impact of gender and related reproductive issues is coming under increased scrutiny. 4. Metabolism of TCAs, especially their hydroxylation, results in the formation of active metabolites, which contribute to both the therapeutic and the adverse effects of these compounds. 5. Renal clearance of the polar metabolites of TCAs is reduced by normal aging, accounting for much of the increased risk of toxicity in older patients. 6. Knowledge of factors affecting the metabolism of TCAs can further the development and understanding of newer antidepressant medications.

    Notizen: Summary A novel method for the enrichment of nicotine from gaseous samples is presented. It is based on the sampling of 6 liters of air onto a cartridge packed with 100% polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) particles. The analytes are dissolved (partitioned) into the PDMS phase which results in much better recoveries and reproducibilities compared to those obtained on common adsorbents. The PDMS tube is then placed in a thermal desorption (TD) unit connected to a CGC-NPD or CGC-MS system. The procedure was employed for routinely monitoring air in a hospital. Nicotine was typically found at levels ranging from 5 to 250 μg m−3 (ppb) depending on the location and number of smokers present. Additionally, the efficiency of nicotine filters was determined by sampling simultaneously at the filter in- and outlet and was found to be 46%.

    Notizen: Summary In this paper, a new type of [60]fulleropyrrolidine functionalized polysiloxane in which the fullerene moieties were incorporated in the main polysiloxane chain was synthesized the first time and used as a stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography. It demonstrated high column efficiency (2600–2866 plates m−1, on a 250 μm diameter column, for naphthalenek=3.1–3.2, 120 °C), a wide operational temperature range (90–360 °C) and outstanding thermostability. It can be used at 360 °C with a baseline drift of 5∼8×10−15A. Benzene homologues, aromatic hydrocarbons, polar compounds such as alcohols, esters, ketones, anilines and phthalic diesters can be seperated well on this column.

Differing from column efficiency, peak capacity can describe both separation capability and speed when introducing the dead time into the peak capacity expression. Various factors that influence peak capacity in SGC are described, including particle pore size, chemical surface modification, particle size, column length, temperature, and pressure.

    Notizen: Summary Catalytic fractional conversions of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide over Pt−Rh alloy catalysts in the presence of excess oxygen, under steady-state or non steady-state conditions, as well as corresponding rate constants for the CO oxidation reaction were measured by using the reversed-flow gas chromatographic technique. From the variation of the conversions with temperature, maximum values of conversions were found, which depend on the catalysts nature (Pt content), while from the variation of the rate constants with temperature, activation energies for the CO oxidation reaction were determined, which also depend on the catalyst Pt content. The results suggest a synergism between Pt and Rh in the Pt−Rh bimetallic catalysts in accordance with previous works, showing that reversed-flow gas chromatography can be used with simplicity and accuracy for the kinetic study of the CO oxidation reaction, which is of technological importance for the control of air pollution.

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: Summary An open-tubular trap with a very thick film was studied for “full on-line” headspace capillary gas chromatography, and was used as an enrichment trap for headspace sampling. The preparation of the open-tubular column with up to an 80 μm thick film, by combining both static and dynamic coating, is described in detail. The break-through volume for the open-tubular trap of different film thickness, as the loading capacity for HS sampling, does not increase linearly in proportion to the film thickness. A study of the difference between a packed adsorbent trap and an open-tubular trap shows that HS capillary GC with open-tubular trap loses less of the retention capacity, has better resolution ability and higher recovery. By independently and rapidly heating the open-tubular trap, the GC peaks may have higher resolution. Examples of successful analyses, by the opentubular trap with “full on-line” HS capillary GC, include trace aromatic hydrocarbon (1 ppm-100 ppm) in polybutadiene-styrene rubber and trace alcohol and acrylic esters (10 ppm–1000 ppm) in polyacrylate hydrous emulsion.

    Notizen: Summary In this paper, practical considerations of column efficiency, separation speed, thermal stability, and column polarity of capillary columns packed with polybutadiene-coated zirconia were investigated under solvating gas chromatography (SGC) conditions using carbon dioxide as mobile phase. When compared with results obtained from conventional porous octadecyl obtained from conventional porous octadecyl bonded silica (ODS) particles, PBD-zirconia particles produced greater change in mobile phase linear velocity with pressure than conventional ODS particles under the same conditions. The maximum plate number per second (Nt) obtained with a 30 cm PBD-zirconia column was approximately 1.5 times higher than that obtained with an ODS column at 100 °C. Therefore, the PBD-zirconia phase is more suitable for fast separations than conventional ODS particles in SGC. Maximum plate numbers per meter of 76,900 and 63,300 were obtained using a 57 cm×250 μm i.d. fused silica capillary column packed with 3 μm PBD-zirconia at 50 °C and 100 °C, respectively. The PBD-zirconia phase was stable at temperatures up to 320 °C under SGC conditions using carbon dioxide as mobile phase. Polarizable aromatic compounds and low molecular weight ketones and aldehydes were eluted with symmetrical peaks from a 10 cm column packed with 3 μm PBD-zirconia. Zirconia phases with greater inertness are required for the analysis of more polar compounds by SGC.

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: Summary It is shown how to estimate the retention times of homologous series members in linear temperature programmed gas chromatography with the aid of a spread-sheet. Both the ease of estimation and the accuracy of the estimation depend on whether the homologue is eluted during the rising portion of the temperature program or the hold time at the end, and also on whether the homologous series is eluted from one injection or a number of injections. When all members of the series elute in the one chromatographic run the percentage standard deviation of the predicted retention times from the experimental retention times is 0.1. When members of the series elute in different chromatographic runs, the percentage standard deviation of predicted times from experimental times is 0.6, compared with an experimental percentage standard deviation for replicates of 0.5.

    Notizen: Summary The efficiency of direct solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was determined for 27 selected volatile and semivolatile organic compounds (BTEX, chloro- and bromobenzenes, chlorinated pesticides and PCBs). The fibres used were 7μm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), 30μm PDMS, 100μm PDMS, 65μm PDMS-divinylbenzene, 85μm polyacrylate, 65μm Carbowax-divinylbenzene, 75μm Carboxen-PDMS and a new 65μm C8 fibre. Extraction yields for these compounds were calculated under standardised conditions: 75μm Carboxen-PDMS was found to be the most efficient fibre for compounds with low boiling points. Although 65μm C8 can be used for extraction of all compounds studied, in no one case is it the most effective coating. 100μm PDMS and the more polar coatings can be used for a broad range of compounds, whereas application of 7μm and 30μm PDMS cannot be recommended. Inter-fibre comparison revealed significant differences between three different Carboxen-PDMS fibres. The results enable suitable coatings to be chosen for each of the 27 compounds and for substances with similar properties.

    Notizen: Summary The use of polysiloxanes with cyano or thiol groups as stationary phases for complexation gas chromatography is discussed. The polymers were obtained via polycondensation followed by polymerisation of the corresponding dichloro- or dimethoxy-silanes. Both the phases were modified by bonding transition metal chlorides with were modified by bonding transition metal chlorides with cyano (CuCl2 or CoCl2) and thiol groups (NiCl2 or CoCl2). The phases were examined in order to determine their application to the analysis of ethers, thioethers and ketones. Due to the presence of lone electron pairs on oxygen or sulphur atoms, the compounds should be capable of specific interacting with the electron-withdrawing centre of the liquid stationary phases. A number of retention parameters (retention indices, molecular retention indices and specific retention volume) were determined, which allowed characterisation of specific interactions between the bonded metal and the compound analysed. The results also enabled assessment of the influence of the structure of the compounds on their retention. The measurements were also carried out for the phases with free SH and CN groups as reference phases. The work demonstrates that the phases obtained may be useful for effective separations.

    Notizen: Summary A systematic derivation of corresponding equations shows that averaging the pressure and the flow rate of the mobile phase in a gas chromatographic column over the column length and over the time that an unretained component resides in the column, requires the use of three different compressibility correction factors,j 2 1 ,j 3 2 , andj 4 3 . When multiplied by the adjusted retention volume,V R-VM, the Martin and James mobile phase compressibility correction factorj 3 2 , only, produces the value of specific retention volume,V g T , which is connected unambiguously with the thermodynamic phase distribution coefficient,K, of the sorbate.

    Notizen: Summary A gas chromatographic assay for the determination of SCH 48973, a potent broad spectrum anti-picornaviral agent, was developed and validated in dog serum. The method involved extraction with organic solvent followed by separation on a capillary column (DB-1) with quantitation by an electron-capture detector. The method was sensitive with a limit of quantitation of 10 ng mL−1. The linearity of the method was satisfactory as indicated by correlation coefficients of 〉0.999 and visual examination of the calibration curves. The method was precise with a coefficient of variation ranging from 2.3 to 13.2% and accurate with a bias ranging from −9.1 to 7.9%. Moreover, SCH 48973 was stable in dog serum after being subjected to three freeze-thaw cycles. The assay was shown to be sensitive, specific, accurate and precise, and reliable for use in pharmacokinetic or toxicokinetic studies.

    Notizen: Summary Analytical methods have been developed for the determination of organic pollutants of intermediate polarity in sewage. Water samples are first passed through a solid phase adsorption cartridge. The analytes are then extracted from the absorbent with supercritical CO2 into a small volume of trapping solvent. Finally, the extracts are analyzed directly by capillary gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. The various parameters (pressure, temperature, type and concentration of modifiers, trapping solvent, flow rate and volume of supercritical fluid and equilibrium time) influencing the efficiency of extraction were studied. Extraction efficiencies for the test compounds are 〉70%, and relative standard deviations are 〈4.6% (n=3). The methods established were applied to the analysis of sewage at the Lanzhou Wastewater Treatment Plant, China. 66 organic pollutants were detected, of which 15 compounds appeared in the list of priority pollutants suggested by the US EPA.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. To evaluate the pulmonary distribution of CGP69846A (ISIS 5132), a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide, following intra-tracheal (i.t.) instillation into Brown-Norway rats. Methods. The pharmacokinetic profile of [3H]-CGP69846A was investigated following i.t. instillation into both naïve and inflamed airways of Brown-Norway rats. The cellular distribution was determined using autoradiography, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry/fluorescence microscopy, in inflamed airways. Results. CGP69846A displayed a dose-dependent lung retention following i.t. administration which was unaffected by local inflammation. Autoradiography and immunohistochemistry showed distribution to alveolar macrophages, eosinophils, bronchial and tracheal epithelium and alveolar cells. Studies with [FITCJ-CGP69846A demonstrated a preferential association of oligonucleotide with leukocytes in bronchial lavage fluid of: macrophages 〉 eosinophils = neutrophils 〉 〉 lymphocytes. Conclusions. The dose-dependency of lung retention together with cell-specific uptake suggests that the lung can be used as a local target for antisense molecules with potentially minimal systemic effects. Furthermore, the preferential targeting of macrophages and the airway epithelium by oligonucleotides may represent rational cellular targets for antisense therapeutics.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. This study examined the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of an antisense oligonucleotide ISIS 2503, formulated in stealth (pegylated) liposomes (encapsulated) or in phosphate-buffered saline (unencapsulated). Methods. Encapsulated or unencapsulated ISIS 2503 was administered to rhesus monkeys by intravenous infusion. The concentrations of ISIS 2503 and metabolites in blood, plasma, and tissue samples were determined by capillary gel electrophoresis. Results. Plasma concentrations of encapsulated ISIS 2503 decreased mono-exponentially after infusion with a mean half-life of 57.8 hours. In contrast, the concentration of unencapsulated ISIS 2503 in plasma decreased rapidly with a mean half-life of 1.07 hours. Both encapsulated and unencapsulated ISIS 2503 distributed widely into tissues. Encapsulated ISIS 2503 distributed primarily to the reticulo-endothelial system and there were few metabolites observed. In contrast, unencapsulated ISIS 2503 distributed rapidly to tissue with highest concentration seen in kidney and liver. Nuclease-mediated metabolism was extensive for unencapsulated oligonucleotide in plasma and tissues. Conclusions. The data suggest that stealth liposomes protect ISIS 2503 from nucleases in blood and tissues, slow tissue uptake, and slow the rate of clearance from the systemic circulation. These attributes may make these formulations attractive for delivering oligonucleotides to sites with increased vasculature permeability such as tumors or sites of inflammation.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. To examine the stability and systemic absorption of aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in dogs during intravesical administration. Methods. Nine dogs received an intravesical dose of ALA either with no prior treatment, after receiving ammonium chloride for urinary acidification, or after receiving sodium bicarbonate for urinary alkalinization. Urine and blood samples collected during and after administration were monitored for ALA using an HPLC assay developed in our laboratories. Concentrations of pyrazine 2,5-dipropionic acid, the major ALA degradation product, and radiolabeled inulin, a nonabsorbable marker for urine volume, were also determined. Results. Less than 0.6% of intravesical ALA doses was absorbed into plasma. Urine concentrations decreased to 37% of the initial concentration during the 2 hour instillation. Decreases in urinary ALA and radiolabeled inulin concentrations were significantly correlated, indicating that urine dilution accounted for over 80% of observed decreases in urinary ALA. ALA conversion to pyrazine 2,5-dipropionic acid was negligible. Conclusions. These studies demonstrate that ALA is stable and poorly absorbed into the systemic circulation during intravesical instillation. Future studies utilizing intravesical ALA for photodiagnosis of bladder cancer should include measures to restrict fluid intake as a means to limit dilution and maximize ALA concentrations during instillation.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. To characterize the ocular pharmacokinetics of beta-blockers (timolol and tilisolol) after instillation in the albino rabbit using a mathematical model that includes a diffusion process. Methods. The disposition of fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FITC-dextran, molecular weight 4400), timolol, and tilisolol was determined in tear fluid and aqueous humor after instillation or ocular injection in rabbits. The in vivo penetration parameters were estimated by fitting the concentration-time profiles to the Laplace equations based on a diffusion model using MULTI(FILT) program. Thein vivo permeability of drugs was measured across cornea using a two-chamber diffusion cell. Results. Concentration-time profiles of drugs in the tear fluid after instillation showed a monoexponential curve. Although a monoexponential curve was observed in the aqueous humor concentration of FITC-dextran after injection into the aqueous chamber, timolol and tilisolol showed a biexponential curve. On the basis of these results, anin vivo pharmacokinetic model was developed for estimation of penetration parameters. The in vitro partition parameters were higher than those of the in vivo parameters. Conclusions. The ocular absorption of timolol and tilisolol was characterized using an in vivo pharmacokinetic model and in vivo penetration parameters.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. To develop a pharmacokinetic model for tenidap and to identify important relationships between the pharmacokinetic parameters and available covariates. Methods. Plasma concentration data from several phase I and phase II studies were used to develop a pharmacokinetic model for tenidap, a novel anti-rheumatic drug. An appropriate pharmacokinetic model was selected on the basis of individual nonlinear regression analyses and an EM algorithm was used to perform a nonlinear mixed-effects analysis. Scatter plots of posterior individual pharmacokinetic parameters were used to identify possible covariate effects. Results. Predicted responses were in good agreement with the observed data. A bi-exponential model with zero order absorption was subsequently used to develop the mixed-effects model. Covariate relationships selected on the basis of differences in the objective function, although statistically significant, were not particularly strong. Conclusions. The pharmacokinetics of tenidap can be described by a bi-exponential model with zero order absorption. Based on differences in the log-likelihood, significant covariate-parameter relationships were identified between smoking and CL, and between gender and Vss and CLd. Simulated sparse data analyses indicated that the model would be robust for the analysis of sparse data generated in observational studies.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. Amphotericin B (AmB) in small, unilamellar liposomes (AmBisome ®) has an improved therapeutic index, and altered pharmacokinetics. The repeat-dose safety and toxicokinetic profiles of AmBisome were studied at clinically relevant doses. Methods. Beagle dogs (5/sex/group) received intravenous AmBisome (0.25, 1,4, 8, and 16 mg/kg/day), empty liposomes or vehicle for 30 days. AmB was determined in plasma on days 1, 14, and 30, and in tissues on day 31. Safety parameters included body weight, clinical chemistry, hematology and microscopic pathology. Results. Seventeen of twenty animals receiving 8 and 16 mg/kg were sacrificed early due to weight loss caused by reduced food intake. Dose-dependent renal tubular nephrosis, and other effects characteristic of conventional AmB occurred at 1 mg/kg/day or higher. Although empty liposomes and AmBisome increased plasma cholesterol, no toxicities unique to AmBisome were revealed. Plasma ultrafiltrates contained no AmB. AmBisome achieved plasma levels 100-fold higher than other AmB formulations. AmBisome kinetics were non-linear, with clearance and distribution volumes decreasing with increasing dose. This, and nonlinear tissue uptake, suggest AmBisome disposition was saturable. Conclusions. AmBisome has the same toxic effects as conventional AmB, but they appear at much higher plasma exposures. AmBisome's non-linear pharmacokinetics are not associated with increased risk, as toxicity increases linearly with dosage. Dogs tolerated AmBisome with minimal to moderate changes in renal function at doses (4 mg/kg/day) producing peak plasma concentrations of 18−94 µg/mL.

    Notizen: Abstract Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD)-modeling links dose-concentration relationships (PK) and concentration-effect relationships (PD), thereby facilitating the description and prediction of the time course of drug effects resulting from a certain dosing regimen. PK/PD-modeling approaches can basically be distinguished by four major attributes. The first characterizes the link between measured drug concentration and the response system, direct link versus indirect link. The second considers how the response system relates effect site concentration to the observed outcome, direct versus indirect response. The third regards what clinically or experimentally assessed information is used to establish the link between concentration and effect, hard link versus soft link. And the fourth considers the time dependency of pharmacodynamic model parameters, distinguishing between time-variant versus time-invariant. Application of PK/PD-modeling concepts has been identified as potentially beneficial in all phases of preclinical and clinical drug development. Although today predominantly limited to research, broader application of PK/PD-concepts in clinical therapy will provide a more rational basis for patient-specific dosage individualization and may thus guide applied pharmacotherapy to a higher level of performance.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. The role of crystal habit in influencing the physical stability and pharmacokinetics of trimethoprim suspensions was examined. Methods. Different habits of trimethoprim (TMP) were obtained by recrystallizing the commercial sample (PD) utilizing solvent-change precipitation method. Four distinct habits (microscopic observation) belonging to the same polymorphic state (DSC studies) were selected for studies. Preformulation and formulation studies were carried out on suspension dosage forms containing these crystals. The freshly prepared suspensions were also evaluated for their pharmacokinetic behaviour on healthy human volunteers using a cross over study. Results. Variation of crystallization conditions produces different habits of TMP. Among the different crystal habits exhibiting same polymorphic state, the most anisometric crystal showed best physical stability in terms of sedimentation volume and redispersibility. However, habit did not significantly affect the extent of TMP excreted in urine. Conclusions. Modification of surface morphology without significantly altering the polymorphic state can be utilized for improving physical stability of TMP suspensions. However, the pharmacokinetic profile remains unaltered.

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. The effect of hyperlipidemia on nifedipine pharmacokinetics was studied. The mechanisms by which hyperlipidemia affects pharmacokinetics of drugs are mainly undetermined. Hyperlipidemia may decrease the fraction of unbound drug in plasma and/or decrease intrinsic ability of the cytochrome P-450 systems due to excess membrane cholesterol. Hyperlipidemia is a primary risk factor for coronary artery disease leading to hypertension and ischemic heart disease, for which nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, is used. Methods. Poloxamer 407 (P407)-induced hyperlipidemic rat model was used to study the effects of hyperlipidemia on the pharmacokinetics of nifedipine (6 mg kg−1 given iv, ip and po). Total plasma cholesterol levels increased from 0.82−2.02 to 5.27−11.05 mmol L−1 48 h post P407 administration (Ig kg−1, ip). Protein binding studies were conducted by an ultrafiltration method. Results. Hyperlipidemia significantly decreased CLTB by 38% and CLTB/F by 45 and 42% following po and ip doses, respectively, thereby increasing AUC0−∞, Cmax and half-life. Absolute bioavailability and Vdss remained unchanged. AUC0−∞ was affected to the same extent in each route of administration, therefore, the effect was mainly systemic rather than presystemic. Hyperlipidemia significantly lowered the fraction unbound in plasma by approximately 31%. Conclusions. The altered pharmacokinetics of nifedipine by P407-induced HYPERLIPIDEMIA may be, at least in part, due to the decrease in fraction unbound in plasma. A decrease in intrinsic clearance, however, cannot be ruled out.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose. The purpose of the present study was to examine the pharma-codynamic and pharmacokinetic features of the novel mast cell inhibitor 4-(3′-Hydroxyphenyl)-amino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (WHI-P180) in mice. Methods. A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based quantitative detection method was used to measure plasma WHI-P180 levels in mice. The plasma concentration-time data was fit to a single compartment pharmacokinetic model by using the WinNonlin program to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters. A cutaneous anaphylaxis model was used to examine the pharmacodynamic effects of WHI-P180 on anaphylaxis-associated vascular hyperpermeability. Results. The elimination half-life of WHI-P180 in CD-1 mice (BALB/ c mice) following i.v., i.p., or p.o. administration was less than 10 min. Systemic clearance of WHI-P180 was 6742 mL/h/kg in CD-1 mice and 8188 mL/h/kg in BALB/c mice. Notably, WHI-P180, when administered in two consecutive nontoxic i.p. bolus doses of 25 mg/kg, inhibited IgE/antigen-induced vascular hyperpermeability in a well-characterized murine model of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis. Conclusions. WHI-P180 is an active inhibitor of IgE-mediated mast cell responses in vitro and in vivo. Further preclinical characterization of WHI-P180 may improve the efficacy of WHI-P180 in vivo and provide the basis for design of effective treatment and prevention programs for mast cell mediated allergic reactions.

    Notizen: ---A new ECD, the HP 6890 Series Micro-ECD, was designed to address inherent deficiencies in classical electron capture detectors (ECD), especially with respect to sensitivity, linearity, dynamic range, and ruggedness. Several novel technologies were incorporated in the totally new design and were refined through practical testing and user feedback. Validation of the micro-ECD performance was accomplished through side-by-side testing of the Micro-ECD with previous ECDs following US EPA Contract Laboratory Program methods for pesticides and PCBs. In addition, extensive interviews were conducted with early users of the Micro-ECD who also had experience with other designs running a variety of ECD methods. The design and resulting performance improvements are described.

    Thema: Chemie und Pharmazie
    Notizen: The applicability of pulsed splitless injection to the gas chromatographic analysis of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables has been evaluated. 22 pesticides belonging to different chemical classes, including those known to be liable to matrix induced response enhancement, were selected for the study. The parameters of pressure pulse have been tested for optimum performance of injection. Application of the pressure pulse was found to decrease matrix effects during analyses of real samples. Further decline of matrix effects was obtained using higher sample injection volumes. The installation of a deactivated retention gap was necessary to obtain good peak shapes with injection volumes exceeding 1 μL of sample. Up to 4 μL was then injected without peak distortion and consequent loss of resolution. Using 4 μL pulsed splitless injection, matrix effects were almost completely eliminated even at very low concentration levels of analytes. The highest matrix effects observed for tested compounds at the lowest concentration level tested were in the range of 110-122%.

    Notizen: Non-ideal mixing in a dimethylsilicone stationary phase is modeled according to the Wilson activity coefficient. Pure liquid vapor pressures of alkylated compound series are calculated from capillary GLC retention with the functional group heat of solution in a polymer solvent. The new method uses the Kovats index, molar mass, and functional group to determine the bubble line of a compound. Boiling points at reduced and normal pressure are compared to literature values of 194 gasoline components. An unlike molecular pair interaction parameter is derived, using only bubble line data of the pure liquids. Binary phase diagrams are constructed and compared to vapor liquid equilibrium data.

    Notizen: Abstract The effect of endotoxin-induced fever on the pharmacokinetics and dosage regimen of cefuroxime was investigated in buffalo calves following a single intravenous dose of 10 mg/kg body weight. The fever was induced by intravenous administration of E. coli endotoxin at a dose of 1 μg/kg body weight. The distribution and elimination half-lives were 0.100 h and 1.82 h, respectively, in healthy and 0.109 h and 2.28 h, respectively, in febrile buffalo calves. About 91% of the administered dose was excreted in the urine within 24 h. There was no effect of fever on the plasma protein binding of cefuroxime. The dosage regimen for intravenous administration of cefuroxime may be reduced in febrile conditions but the probability of this was only 0.3.

    High-dose topotecan with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor in fluoropyrimidine-refractory colorectal cancer: A phase II and pharmacodynamic study (1998)

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Abstract Purpose: The premise for the study was that topotecan (TPT) resistance in preclinical studies is associated with low level expression of the p-glycoprotein (Pgp) multi-drug transporter conferred by the multi-drug resistant (MDR) phenotype, which might be overcome in clinical practice by administering moderately (2.3-fold) higher doses of TPT that have been shown to be feasible with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) support. This phase II study evaluated the anti-tumor activity of TPT administered at its highest possible solid tumor dose with G-CSF in patients with fluoropyrimdine-refractory advanced colorectal carcinoma. The study also sought to identify pharmacodynamic (PD) determinants of both activity and toxicity. Patients and methods: TPT was administered as a 30-minute infusion daily for five days every three weeks at a dose of 3.5 mg/m2/day to patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma who developed progressive disease either during treatment with fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy for advanced disease or within six months after receiving fluoropyrimdine-based adjuvant chemotherapy. This dose of TPT was previously determined to be the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) with G-CSF support in a phase I study involving solid tumor patients with similar risk factors for myelosuppression. Plasma sampling was performed during course 1 to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) and PD behavior of TPT. Results: Seventeen patients who received 89 courses of TPT and G-CSF were evaluable for toxicity; 16 patients were evaluable for anti-tumor response. Toxicity, particularly myelosuppression, was substantial. At the 3.5 mg/m2/day dose level, absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) were less than 500/µl for longer than five days in 17% of courses involving seven of 17 (41%) patients. Severe neutropenia associated with fever occurred in 12.3% of courses; and platelet counts below 25,000/µl were noted in 26.9% of courses. These toxicities resulted in dose reductions in seven of 17 (41%) patients. Nevertheless, 90% of the planned total dose of TPT was administered. No major responses were observed, though minor activity was noted in several patients. Both the median time to progression and the median survival time were short – 2.5 and four months, respectively. Although interindividual variability in the disposition of total TPT was observed, the lack of objective responses precluded PD assessments related to disease activity. Total TPT exposure was significantly higher than drug exposure achieved in similar patients at an identical dose in a previous phase I study of TPT and G-CSF, which may explain why more severe myelosuppressive effects occurred in the present study. There were no PD relationships evident between relevant PK parameters and the percent decrements in platelets and ANCs during course 1, although patients with severe toxic effects (ANC below 500/µl for more than five days and/or platelets 〈25,000/µl) had higher drug exposure than patients with less severe toxicity (P 〈 0.018 and P = 0.09, respectively). Conclusions: Based on these results, the true response rate of TPT at its solid tumor MTD with G-CSF support is unlikely to approach 20%. Although a response rate of less than 20% might be viewed as significant in this disease setting and might be confirmed with sufficient statistical certainty by treating additional patients, the substantial toxicity, inconvenience, and cost associated with this high dose TPT/G-CSF regimen does not warrant the acceptance of a lower level of anti-tumor activity as a criterion for further development.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: Irinotecan (CPT-11) is metabolized by esterase to form a SN-38, which is further conjugated by UGT1A1. Genetic polymorphism has been shown in a promoter region of UGT1A1 and is related to its activity. We investigated whether there might be an inter-individual difference in pharmacokinetics of SN-38 and its glucuronide, depending on the genotypes of UGT1A1. Patients and methods: Nine male patients with lung cancer were treated with irinotecan (50 mg/m2) and carboplatin. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with full sampling plasma data. Genotypes were determined by analyzing the sequence of TATA box of UGT1A1 of genomic DNA from the patients. Results: The genotyping analysis revealed one heterozygote (6/7) and one homozygote (7/7) for (TA)7TAA allele (UGT1A1*28). The remaining seven patients were homozygote for (TA)6TAA allele (6/6, wild type). The metabolic ratios (SN-38/SN-38 glucuronide) in the patient with 7/7 genotype were uncharacteristically higher than those in the patients with other genotypes (6/6 and 6/7). Biliary index was 6980 versus 2180 ± 1110 (range 840–3730) in patients with 7/7 versus 6/6 genotypes, respectively. Conclusion: These results support the idea that the patient with 7/7 genotype has an impaired capacity for glucuronidation of SN-38.

    Notizen: Abstract Purpose: DMP 840, a novel bisnaphthalimide, has demonstrated promising schedule dependent anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo against several tumor cell lines. A phase I study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a 24-hour infusion schedule repeated every three weeks, on the therapeutic efficacy of DMP 840. Patients and methods: Fourteen patients with refractory solid tumor malignancies were treated with DMP 840 at doses of 20, 40, 50 and 60 mg/m2. Results: A combination of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and stomatitis were dose-limiting at doses of 50 and 60 mg/m2 in both minimally- and extensively-pretreated patients. In contrast, all courses at lower dose levels were well tolerated. Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that DMP 840 had a prolonged terminal half life (median 39 hours; range 25–86) and that dose-limiting events were significantly related to several indices of systemic DMP 840 exposure (P 〈 0.01, Wilcoxon Rank Sum test). Conclusion: The recommended dose of DMP 840 for further disease oriented evaluations is 40 mg/m2 administered over 24 hours every three weeks. The infusion duration evaluated in this study did not result in a substantial increase in the tolerable dose compared to shorter, less cumbersome schedules.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: In clinical trials in the USA, IDEC-C2B8 (a mouse-humanchimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody) has demonstrated high response rateswith only mild toxic effects in relapsed B-cell lymphoma at a dose of fourweekly 375 mg/m2 infusions. The aim of the present trial wasto determine whether or not this dose is practically applicable to Japanesepatients with relapsed B-cell lymphoma with respect to safety,pharmacokinetics and efficacy. Patients and methods: Patients with relapsed CD20+ B-cell lymphomareceived intravenous infusions of IDEC-C2B8 once a week for four weeks. Atotal of 12 patients (four at 250 mg/m2 and eight at 375mg/m2) were enrolled. Results: All 11 eligible patients treated with either dose leveltolerated IDEC-C2B8 well. Commonly observed adverse drug reactions weregrades 1 or 2 non-hematologic toxicities during the infusion, consistingmostly of flu-like symptoms and skin reactions. All of the observedhematologic toxicities were of grade 3 or less, and transient. A rapid andsustained B-cell decrease in peripheral blood was observed, but noinfectious episodes were encountered. Human anti-mouse and anti-chimericantibodies were not detected. Of the 11 eligible patients (eight withfollicular, two with diffuse large-cell and one with mantle cell lymphoma),two showed a complete response and five showed a partial response, and allof the seven responders had lymphoma with follicular histology. Apharmacokinetic analysis showed that the elimination half-life (T1/2) ofIDEC-C2B8 was 445 ± 361 hours, and that the serum antibody levelsincreased in parallel with the course of infusions, and in most patients wasstill measurable at three months. Conclusions: The dose of four weekly 375 mg/m2 infusionsof IDEC-C2B8 is safe and effective in Japanese patients with relapsed B-celllymphoma. Further studies evaluating IDEC-C2B8 are warranted.

    Notizen: Abstract The development of a specific, reliable and noninvasive method for measuring oxidative stress in humans is essential for establishing the role of free radicals in human diseases. Currently, accurate techniques to assess oxidant injury in vivo are extremely limited although a number of approaches are being investigated. Of these, the measurement of specific products of nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation, the F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs), appears to be a more accurate marker of oxidative stress in vivo in humans than other available methods. The purpose of this brief review is to acquaint the reader with the IsoPs from a biochemical perspective and to provide information regarding the utility of quantifying these compounds as indicators of oxidant stress.

    Notizen: Summary [Ne-palmitoyl Lys (B29)] human insulin is a fatty acid-acylated derivative of insulin with extended action compared to unmodified insulin when infused intravenously (i. v.) secondary to its binding to circulating albumin. The duration and activity profile of the acylated (A) and NPH (B) insulins were assessed following subcutaneous (s. c.) doses of (A) 6 nmol/kg and (B) 1.2 nmol/kg (equivalent to 0.2 U/kg) in 9 subjects with IDDM. After overnight i.v infusion of regular human insulin, morning glucose was (A) 6.9 ± 0.1 and (B) 6.8 ± 0.1 mmol/l. After the s. c. injection, i. v. human insulin or glucose was infused to maintain near-basal glycaemia and tracer glucose to assess hepatic glucose production (HGP). An activity profile was deduced for each study by expressing the glucose infusion rate at each time point, as a fraction (%) of the basal (measured) HGP, and the i. v. insulin infusion rate as a fraction (%) of the basal requirement. The two fractions are combined by adding the fractional glucose infusion rate and subtracting the fractional insulin infusion rate. Infusion rates of i. v. insulin in the morning were (A) 0.96 ± 0.096 and (B) 1.22 ± 0.09 pmol · kg–1· min–1. After insulin injection, i.v insulin requirements decreased and were below 10 % of basal between 100 and 150 min. A constant activity profile of 0 % represents a perfect substitution of the basal i. v. insulin infusion by the s. c. dose. The actual profile is defined by deviations from this (above) and was –17 ± 11, 7 ± 10, –9 ± 6 and –18 ± 18 % for [Ne-palmitoyl Lys (B29)] human insulin and 17 ± 12, 5 ± 6, –9 ± 15, 22 ± 18 % for NPH insulin at 3, 6, 9 and 12 h after s. c. injection. HGP was similar for the two insulins, demonstrating similar metabolic actions and profiles both peripherally and at the liver. [Diabetologia (1998) 41: 116–120]

    Notizen: Abstract  A gas chromatographic method using a capillary column is described for the quantitative analysis of fructose, glucose, sucrose and myo-inositol in orange juice. The method is evaluated for precision and recovery using phenyl-β-glucoside as an internal standard. The results support the suitability of the method. Carbohydrates (fructose, glucose, sucrose and myo-inositol) were determined in different kinds of orange juice. The determination of carbohydrate composition and ratios of the carbohydrate constituents provide a method to assess orange juice quality, especially the myo-inositol content and myo-inositol/fructose ratio. These new indices, which were found to be lower in samples made from concentrates, provide information on the quality and genuineness of orange juice.

    Notizen: Abstract  The quantities of the biologically active isomer of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) – C18:2 c9t11 – in 139 German foods were analysed by capillary gas chromatography (results are given as a % of all identified fatty acid methyl esters). The CLA content ranged from 0.40% (Gouda) to 1.70% (Jurassic cheese, Old Emmentaler) in dairy products, from 0.11% (rabbit) to 1.20% (lamb) in meat, and from 0.01% (pike-perch) to 0.09% (carp) in fish. CLA could be detected in neither vegetable fats or oils nor in margarines (CLA 〈0.01%). Crisps, chocolates, cakes and pastries, and other foods have only a negligible CLA content. The average estimated CLA intake in Germany was calculated to be 0.35g CLA/day for women and 0.43g CLA/day for men.

    Notizen: Abstract  The analysis of butyric acid (C4) is of importance for the determination of the proportion of milk fat in mixed fats. Three gas chromatographic methods were compared with regard to their precision for the measurement of C4, i.e. analysis of butyric acid methyl ester after trans-esterification of fat by sodium methylate (method A) or trimethyl sulphonium hydroxide (method B), as well as analysis of free butyric acid (method C), using an internal standard with each method. The examination of 30 milk fats which varied greatly in terms of their C4 content, using methods A, B and C, resulted in mean values of C4 of 3.42 g/100 g fat, 3.71 g/100 g fat and 3.06 g/100 g fat, respectively. The value determined using method B seemed too high, and this may have been due to the presence of co-eluting artefacts, whereas the value determined using method C was clearly too low, and can probably be attributed to losses during sample preparation. The standard deviation (SD) of 0.015 obtained from repeated analyses using method A was quite good. Results obtained using methods B and C had SDs of 0.029 and 0.074, respectively. Different levels of free fatty acids did not affect the results obtained using method A. When method A was checked by analysis of the reference fat, CRM 164, the C4 level determined was found to deviate from the certified C4 content of 3.49 (± 0.06) g/100 g fat by only 0.05 g C4/fat 100 g. Thus method A proved the most suitable for the determination of the proportion of milk fat in mixed fats by analysis of butyric acid.

    Notizen: Abstract  Changes in the free monosaccharide fraction and non-casein nitrogen during the 3-month storage of five batches of commercial UHT milk were studied. Batches with high residual proteolytic activity showed a considerable increase in galactose, N–acetyl glucosamine and N–acetyl galactosamine levels during the storage period, whereas their glucose and myo-inositol contents remained unaltered. In batches with slight or negligible proteolytic activity no changes in the free monosaccharide fraction were observed.

    Notizen: Abstract Objective: Application of a new method for analysis of exhaled gas in critically ill patients. Design: Open study. Setting: Surgical intensive care unit of an university hospital. Patients: Thirty-seven consecutive, critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients. Interventions: None. Measurements and results: Chemical analysis of the patient's exhaled gas was based upon substance adsorption and concentration onto activated charcoal, microwave desorption and gas chromatographic separation. Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) exhaled less isoprene than those without ARDS [9.8 (8.2–21.6) vs 21.8 (13.9–41.4) nmol/m2 per min [median (95 % confidence interval)], p = 0.04]. In patients who developed pulmonary infection, pentane elimination increased from 0.4 (0.0–5.4) to 2.7 (0.6–6.1, p = 0.05) nmol/m2 per min and isoprene elimination decreased from 5.2 (0–33) to 5.0 (0–17, p = 0.05) nmol/m2 per min, resulting in a significant increase in pentane/isoprene ratio from 0.1 (0–0.3) to 0.4 (0–15, p = 0.007) when compared to patients without pulmonary infection. Conclusions: The new method allows quantitative analysis of human gas samples with low substance concentrations and is well suited for clinical studies which involve the investigation of metabolic processes in the lung and the body.

    Notizen: Abstract This retrospective study served to examine the correlation between the degree of cyclosporin (CyA) exposure, as estimated by a single pharmacokinetic (PK) profile performed at 1 week post-transplant, and the outcome of 290 consecutive renal transplants performed over a 6-year period. For this retrospective analysis patients were stratified into four historical groups based on 12- versus 24-h PK studies and on the use of radioimmunoassay versus fluorescence polarization immunoassay methods for estimates of CyA concentrations. Four PK measures – trough concentration (C0), average concentration values (Cav; i. e., the dosing interval-corrected area under the concentration-time curve), maximum concentration (Cmax), and time to maximum concentration (tmax) – were examined as predictors of patient, graft, and rejection-free survival rates for each of the four groups individually and for all groups combined. Patients with an initial Cav≥ 550 ng/ml had higher 1-year (88 %) and 6-year (66 %) graft survival rates than patients with Cav 〈 550 ng/ml, who had 1- and 6-year graft survival rates of 80 % and 59 %, respectively (P = NS). Statistically significant differences were observed in graft survival rates between patients with Cav 〈 550 versus Cav≥ 550 ng/ml at 30 (88 % vs 96 %; P 〈 0.02), 60 (85 % vs 94 %; P 〈 0.007), 90 (85 % vs 94 %; P 〈 0.02), and 180 (83 % vs 92 %; P 〈 0.05) days. Moreover, patients with Cav 〈 550 ng/ml displayed more severe rejection episodes, as judged by Banff classification, than patients who displayed Cav≥ 550 ng/ml (grades II and III; 71 % vs 50 %; P = 0.036). In contrast, the C0, Cmax, and tmax values did not correlate with patient, graft, or rejection-free survival rates. The pharmacokinetic parameter of Cav correlated strongly with early graft survival and may, therefore, be a useful predictor of those renal transplant patients who may require more intensive post-transplant monitoring of CyA concentrations by serial PK studies to improve graft survival.

    Notizen: Abstract Brequinar (DUP 785; NSC 368390) is a quinoline carboxylic acid derivative that inhibits pyrimidine synthesis at the level of dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase and revealed synergy with cisplatin in preclinical models. In this study investigating the pharmacokinetic and toxicity of brequinar in combination with cisplatin, patients were initially treated with weekly brequinar, in combination with an every-three-week administration of cisplatin. Due to toxicity, the schedule was modified to a 28-day cycle with brequinar given on days 1, 8, 15, and cisplatin on day 1. A total of 24 patients (16 male, 8 female; median age 57; median performance status 1) received 69 courses of therapy. Six dose levels were explored, with cisplatin/ brequinar doses, respectively, of 50/500, 50/650, 50/860, 60/860, 75/650, and 75/860 mg/m2. The serum concentration versus time curves for brequinar were biphasic. A comparison of the pharmacokinetic results after the first and third doses of brequinar indicate that the presence of 50, 60, and 75 mg/m2cisplatin did not change the protein binding and the pharmacokinetics of brequinar in any of the three brequinar-dose groups. Total cisplatin plasma pharmacokinetic followed a triphasic-shape curve and unbound cisplatin decayed at a very rapid rate. Since pharmacokinetic parameters for total cisplatin in this study were similar to those reported in the literature, the presence of brequinar is unlikely to alter the pharmacokinetics of cisplatin. Main dose-limiting toxicities included myelosuppression (including neutropenia and thrombocytopenia) and mucositis. Cisplatin/brequinar doses of 50/500, 50/650, 50/860, 60/860, 75/650, and 75/860 mg/m2, were associated with dose limiting toxicity in 0/3, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 2/4, 2/5, and 4/6 patients, respectively. This study shows that co-administration of brequinar and cisplatin does not affect the pharmacokinetic properties of either drug and that the MTDs of cisplatin/brequinar combinations are 60/860 mg/m2 or 75/650 mg/m2. From this study, we conclude that full dose of 75 mg/m2 cisplatin (day 1) can be administered with 650 mg/m2 brequinar (days 1, 8 and 15) without significant modifications of individual drug pharmacokinetic parameters.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: NK611 is a novel podophyllotoxin derivative. Compared with etoposide, NK611 carries a dimethyl-amino group at the D-glucose moiety. The antitumor activity of NK611 showed to be equal or superior to etoposide in a variety of in vitro and in vivo tumor models. The aim of our present study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose-limiting toxicities of NK611 administered as intravenous infusion over 30 min every 28 days. Patients and methods: 45 patients (7 female, 38 male; median age 54 [range 37–73]) were enrolled. In a first stage, NK611 was administered without hematopoietic growth factor support; in a second stage, G-CSF was used for further dose escalation. Toxicities were assessed using WHO-criteria. Results: Initially, the dose was escalated from 60 mg/m2 to 120 mg/m2. In a second patient cohort, doses were further escalated with G-CSF support with doses ranging from 140 mg/m2 to 250 mg/m2. Dose-limiting toxicities were granulocytopenia and thrombocytopenia. Non-hematologic toxicities consisted of alopecia, mild nausea, and infection. Four partial responses were observed: two at 200 mg/m2 (pleural mesothelioma, response duration 7 months, and non-small cell lung cancer, response duration 13 months), and two at 250 mg/m2 (hepatocellular carcinoma, response duration 7 months, and non-small cell lung cancer, response duration 2 months). Pharmacokinetic analyses were performed in all patients. Using an open 3-compartment model, the terminal half-life (t1/2γ) was 14.7 ± 3.7 h. The AUC at 250 mg/m2 was determined to be 330 ± 147 μg/mlh, the plasma clearance of NK611 was 16.2 ± 8.2 ml/min · m2 and the Vss was 16.8 ± 3.3 l/m2. Protein binding of NK611 was 98.7%. Conclusion: the recommended dose for clinical Phase II studies is 120 mg/m2 without G-CSF support and 200 mg/m2 with G-CSF support.

    Notizen: Abstract Carboxyamido-triazole (CAI) is an anti-invasive, antimetastatic, antiangiogenic agent in clinical development for cancer treatment. It has been postulated that food might enhance the oral absorption of micronized CAI based on an apparent discrepancy in steady state maximum concentrations when taken without regard to meals vs. fasting. The purpose of this study was to determine if a standardized meal affects the absorption and pharmacokinetics of this agent. Twelve patients with refractory cancers and good end organ function were randomized to receive two doses of CAI (250 mg/m 2 ) with and without a standardized high fat meal. One cohort of 6 patients received these doses at 9 AM, and the remaining 6 patients received CAI at 9 PM. Blood was obtained prior to each dose, and serially thereafter. A series of pharmacokinetic (PK) models were fit to the concentration–time data. PK parameters were ultimately calculated using a model which allows simultaneous estimation of parameters from both test doses using nonlinear least squares analysis with ADAPT II. This model estimates independent absorption rate constants and relative fraction absorbed for each condition. AUC 0–t was determined using the trapezoidal method, extrapolated to infinity, and used to calculate the relative bioavailability. No significant differences in PK parameters were noted between the morning and evening cohorts. However, the relative bioavailability, as measured by AUC 0–∞, of CAI was significantly increased when administered with a high fat meal compared to fasting (138.9 vs. 52.2 μg * hr/ml; p=0.0005). The magnitude of the increase in relative bioavailability of CAI taken with food could have profound implications for patients who may inadvertently take this medication shortly after eating.

    Notizen: Abstract A two-way crossover study was conducted in crossbred male calves (6–8 months old) to determine the bioavailability, pharmacokinetics and dosage regimens for a long-acting formulation of oxytetracycline (OTC-LA). The half-lives of oxytetracycline after intravenous and intramuscular administration were 7.8 h and 24 h, respectively. The volume of distribution and total body clearance values of the drug were 0.86±0.07 L and 76.1±3.3 (ml/h)/kg, respectively. The maximum concentration of the drug in the serum (4.7–7.4 μg/ml) was achieved 8–10 h after intramuscular administration. The minimum therapeutic serum concentration of drug of ≥0.5 μg/ml was maintained between 15 min and 84 h after intramuscular administration. The intramuscular bioavailability of the drug was 89.1±4.2%. The dosage regimens to maintain the minimum therapeutic serum concentrations of OTC following intramuscular administration of OTC-LA were computed.

    Notizen: Abstract Two trials were conducted against natural and experimentally induced parasitic gastroenteritis in sheep and goats using an in-feed formulation of albendazole to evaluate its therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy. In the first trial, albendazole was incorporated in feed pellets to deliver an average daily dose of 0.7 mg/kg body weight in order to evaluate its prophylactic efficacy. In the second trial, feed pellets were offered to deliver an average total dose of 8.0 mg/kg body weight in two equal split doses in order to evaluate its curative efficacy. Sustained plasma concentrations of the active compound, albendazole sulphoxide, and its metabolite albendazole sulphone, sufficient to prevent establishment of infection, were achieved when the animals were allowed to feed on medicated pellets for 10 consecutive days. The bioavailability of the metabolites of albendazole following the administration of a therapeutic dose in two split doses of the in-feed formulation was sufficient to remove established adult nematodes. The concentrate feed pellets could be used for self-medicating small ruminants for therapeutic use as well as for prophylaxis based on their strategic use appropriate to the epidemiology of the parasitic disease.
