  • A placebo-controlled study of retinal blood flow changes by pentoxifylline and metabolites in humans
  • 2006

    • AIM: To investigate the possible effects of pentoxifylline metabolites on retinal blood flow in humans. METHODS: A randomized, placebo-controlled, four-period cross-over study that was observer blinded and partly blinded for the eight participants. On one occasion a placebo was given as an intravenous (i.v.) infusion over 100 min. On the other three occasions pentoxifylline was administered as i.v. infusions over 100 min at a rate of 3 mg min(-1). Before two of the pentoxifylline infusions the subjects were pretreated with either ciprofloxacin or rifampicin. Retinal blood flow was measured by scanning laser doppler flowmetry (SLDF) in a selected area of the central temporal retina before, during and until 5 h after the end of infusion. Blood samples for concentration analyses of pentoxifyllin, R-M1, S-M1, M4 and M5 were taken serially and areas under the curves (AUCs) were calculated. Linear mixed models were used for the statistical analyses. RESULTS: Mean AUCs (ng h ml(-1)) were significantly increased for pentoxifylline (1964 vs. 1453) and S-M1 (5804 vs. 4227), but not R-M1 when pentoxifylline was co-administered with ciprofloxacin. The mean AUC for M5 was significantly reduced when subjects were pretreated with rifampicin (2041 vs. 3080). Pentoxifylline with and without pretreatment with rifampicin significantly increased retinal blood flow assessed as mean flow, pulsation (i.e. 1-systole/diastole), and diastolic flow (but not during systole), compared with placebo. The increases over placebo were more pronounced on diastolic flow, 9.7% (95% confidence interval 4.2, 15.5) than on mean flow, 4.6% (1.1, 8.3) after pentoxifylline administration. With pentoxifylline after rifampicin pretreatment the corresponding differences were 11.7% (5.8, 17.9) and 5.1% (1.4, 7.8) over placebo, respectively. After co-administration of pentoxifylline and ciprofloxacin we saw only a nonsignificant trend towards increased flow during diastole, but a significant decrease in pulsation. When AUCs for pentoxifylline and its metabolites were used as regressor variables to retinal mean flow we found that pentoxifylline, R-M1 and M5 had coefficients with a positive sign indicating that they enhanced the retinal blood flow. In contrast, S-M1 and M4 had coefficients with negative sign and thus appeared to decrease the blood flow in subjects treated with pentoxifylline. CONCLUSION: The R-M1 and M5 metabolites of pentoxifylline contributed significantly to the effects of pentoxifylline on retinal blood flow.

  • A Whole-Body Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model for Colistin and Colistin Methanesulfonate in Rat
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology. - : Wiley. - 1742-7835 .- 1742-7843. ; 123:4, s. 407-422

    • Colistin is a polymyxin antibiotic used to treat patients infected with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB). The objective of this work was to develop a whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (WB-PBPK) model to predict tissue distribution of colistin in rat. The distribution of a drug in a tissue is commonly characterized by its tissue-to-plasma partition coefficient, K-p. Colistin and its prodrug, colistin methanesulfonate (CMS) K-p priors, were measured experimentally from rat tissue homogenates or predicted in silico. The PK parameters of both compounds were estimated fitting invivo their plasma concentration-time profiles from six rats receiving an i.v. bolus of CMS. The variability in the data was quantified by applying a nonlinear mixed effect (NLME) modelling approach. A WB-PBPK model was developed assuming a well-stirred and perfusion-limited distribution in tissue compartments. Prior information on tissue distribution of colistin and CMS was investigated following three scenarios: K-p was estimated using in silico K-p priors (I) or K-p was estimated using experimental K-p priors (II) or K-p was fixed to the experimental values (III). The WB-PBPK model best described colistin and CMS plasma concentration-time profiles in scenario II. Colistin-predicted concentrations in kidneys in scenario II were higher than in other tissues, which was consistent with its large experimental K-p prior. This might be explained by a high affinity of colistin for renal parenchyma and active reabsorption into the proximal tubular cells. In contrast, renal accumulation of colistin was not predicted in scenario I. Colistin and CMS clearance estimates were in agreement with published values. The developed model suggests using experimental priors over in silico K-p priors for kidneys to provide a better prediction of colistin renal distribution. Such models might serve in drug development for interspecies scaling and investigate the impact of disease state on colistin disposition.

  • Effects of pentoxifylline and its metabolites on platelet aggregation in whole blood from healthy humans
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Pharmacology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0014-2999 .- 1879-0712. ; 581:3, s. 290-5

    • It is known that pentoxifylline inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro, but the effects from pentoxifylline and its main metabolites: 3,7-dimetyl-1(5 hydroxyhexyl)xanthine (R-M1 and S-M1), 3,7-dimetyl -1(4-carboxybutyl)xanthine (M4), 3,7-dimetyl -1(3-carboxypropyl)xanthine (M5), on platelet aggregation in whole blood in vitro and in vivo have not been studied. We found that pentoxifylline, rac-M1, R-M1, S-M1 and M4 significantly inhibit ADP induced platelet aggregation in whole blood in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner, R-M1 being the most potent followed by rac-M1, S-M1, pentoxifylline, and M4. In this series of experiments the effects on aggregation induced ATP-release were less pronounced and were only significant after treatment with pentoxifylline, rac-M1 and R-M1, but the potency order appears to be the same. Since the metabolites are not available for use in humans, and also since each substance would be extensively metabolised in vivo, we made an attempt to estimate the relative contribution of each substance to the total effect of pentoxifylline in vivo. Previously published concentrations of pentoxifylline and these metabolites in humans, after administration of pentoxifylline, were used in combination with the potency ratios from this study. The findings from these calculations were that the main effect in vivo comes from S-M1 followed by pentoxifylline, the other metabolites contribute less than 10% each. In conclusion: in the following potency order R-M1, rac-M1, pentoxifylline, S-M1 and M4 all have significant effects on platelet aggregation in whole blood in vitro. However, it appears that the main effects in vivo are caused by S-M1 and pentoxifylline.

  • Bcrp does not influence transport of nitrofurantoin across the blood-brain barrier at different ages
  • Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • In the blood-brain barrier (BBB), tight junction proteins together with active efflux transporters efficiently restrict access of many compounds to the brain. The contribution of breast cancer resistance protein (Bcrp, coded by Abcg2) for drug efflux in the BBB is not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of Bcrp in the rat BBB and how development affects distribution of a Bcrp substrate with age. Nitrofurantoin (NTF) is a good substrate for Bcrp and was used as model substance. Brain-to-plasma concentration ratio (Kp) of NTF was measured at postnatal Day 1, Day 4, Day 11 and in adult rats. Microdialysis was used to measure concentration ratio of unbound NTF across the BBB (Kp,uu) with or without blockers for active transport (PSC833 and probenecid). To investigate the in vivo contribution of Bcrp, Kp was also measured in Bcrp-/- and wild-type control mice with or without the selective Bcrp blocker Ko143. The Kp decreased with age, but due to an increase in the protein binding. The Kp,uu was on average 0.047 and not affected by the presence of any blocker. Possible explanations for the low Kp,uu is intra-brain metabolism and/or efflux due to other transporter(s). No difference was observed in the Kp of NTF for Bcrp-/- compared to wild-type mice, independent of co-administration with Ko143. Thus, no in vivo contribution of Bcrp to the BBB brain transport of NTF was detected.

  • Developmental Aspects of Drug Transport Across the Blood-Brain Barrier
  • 2009
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The developmental aspect of drug transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was investigated. Microdialysis was used to study unbound morphine BBB transport at different ages in sheep. An in vitro study was performed to find differentially expressed genes in brain capillary-rich fractions of the brain in rats of different ages. Microdialysis and brain-to-plasma ratios were used to study the contribution of breast cancer resistance protein (Bcrp) to the transport of nitrofurantoin (NTF) across the BBB of rats during development as well as in adult rats and mice. A method of analysing morphine and its metabolites in plasma and microdialysis samples was developed and validated. The in vivo recovery of deuterated morphine, used as a calibrator in microdialysis experiments, was not affected by the presence of morphine in the tissue. A net influx of morphine was observed in premature lambs and adult sheep, in contrast to the efflux seen in other species. This influx decreased with age, indicating that the morphine transport across the BBB changes with age. In contrast, the transport of the morphine metabolite morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) did not change with age. Microarray data indicated that several active transporters are differentially expressed with age. Moreover, the mRNA expression levels of Abcg2 (Bcrp) and Slc22a8 (organic anion transporter 3) changed with age when quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction. In contrast, the expression of Abcb1 (P-glycoprotein) and occludin (a tight junction protein) did not change with age. In rats, the brain distribution of NTF decreased with age due to increased protein binding in plasma. The concentration ratio of unbound NTF across the BBB was low in the adult rat, due to intra-brain metabolism and/or efflux by other transporters. Bcrp did not appear to have a significant contribution in the developing rat or in knock-out mice compared to wild-type controls with regard to NTF BBB transport. In conclusion, in vitro studies showed that the expression levels of some genes changed with age, presumably affecting subsequent drug distribution to the brain. Further, in vivo studies showed that distribution across the BBB changed with age for morphine but not for M3G or NTF.

  • A commentary on the differences in pharmacokinetics between recombinant and plasma-derived factor IX and their implications for dosing
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Haemophilia. - : Wiley. - 1351-8216 .- 1365-2516. ; 17:2, s. 179-184
  • Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This commentary aims to summarize all aspects of the difference in pharmacokinetics (PK) between recombinant factor IX (rFIX) and plasma-derived factor IX (pdFIX) and their implications for dosing. PK data were compiled from 17 published studies. The average clearance (CL) of rFIX normally ranged between 7.5 and 9.1 mL h-1 kg-1, whereas that of pdFIX was 3.8-5.4 mL h-1 kg-1. The average terminal half-life was 18-24 h among all 72-h studies on rFIX, in contrast to (normally) 29-43 h for pdFIX. In vivo recovery was more variable. Judging from the pooled data, the typical recovery of rFIX is around two-third that of pdFIX. The difference in PK between rFIX and pdFIX is thus clear-cut and has implications for dosing. As estimated from the compiled data, the dose required to reach any peak level of FIX immediately after administration would be 1.5 times higher for rFIX than for pdFIX, most probably with considerable individual variation. Calculated doses for a patient on a twice weekly prophylactic treatment to achieve a predetermined trough FIX level depended markedly on CL and were about twice as high with rFIX as with pdFIX. In summary, conversion factors between rFIX and pdFIX of 1.5 for single doses and 2 for prophylactic dosing can tentatively be applied; however, the interindividual variance both in recovery and CL of rFIX and pdFIX and the unknown variance in ratios between these PK parameters call for careful monitoring if a switch of treatment is made.

  • Comparative pharmacokinetics of plasma- and albumin-free recombinant factor VIII in children and adults : the influence of blood sampling schedule on observed age-related differences and implications for dose tailoring
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. - : Elsevier BV. - 1538-7933 .- 1538-7836. ; 8:4, s. 730-736
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Dose tailoring of coagulation factors requires reliably estimated and reproducible pharmacokinetics (PK) in the individual patient. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the contribution of both biological and methodological factors to the observed variability of factor VIII (FVIII) PK, with the focus on differences between children and adults, and to examine the implications for dosing. PATIENTS: Data from 52 1-6-year-old and 100 10-65-year-old patients with hemophilia A (FVIII < or = 2 IU dL(-1)) in three clinical studies were included. RESULTS: In vivo recovery was lower, weight-adjusted clearance was higher and FVIII half-life was on average shorter in children than in adults. However, a reduced blood sampling schedule for children was estimated to account for up to one half of the total observed differences. Intrapatient variance in PK was smaller than interpatient variance in 10-65-year-olds. Age and ratio of actual to ideal weight only showed weak relationships with PK parameters. Variance in PK caused large variance in the calculated dose required to maintain a target FVIII trough level during prophylactic treatment. CONCLUSION: Differences in blood sampling schedules should be taken into account when results from different PK studies are compared. However, even with this consideration, PK cannot be predicted from observable patient characteristics but must be determined for the individual. Because the influence of reducing the blood sampling was minor in comparison to the true variance between patients, a reduced blood sampling protocol can be used. Low intrapatient variability supports the use of PK measurements for dose tailoring of FVIII.

  • In vivo recovery of factor VIII and factor IX : intra- and interindividual variance in a clinical setting
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Haemophilia. - : Wiley. - 1351-8216 .- 1365-2516. ; 13:1, s. 2-8
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In vivo recovery (IVR) is traditionally used as a parameter to characterize the pharmacokinetic properties of coagulation factors. It has also been suggested that dosing of factor VIII (FVIII) and factor IX (FIX) can be adjusted according to the need of the individual patient, based on an individually determined IVR value. This approach, however, requires that the individual IVR value is more reliably representative for the patient than the mean value in the population, i.e. that there is less variance within than between the individuals. The aim of this investigation was to compare intra- and interindividual variance in IVR (as U dL−1 per U kg−1) for FVIII and plasma-derived FIX in a cohort of non-bleeding patients with haemophilia. The data were collected retrospectively from six clinical studies, yielding 297 IVR determinations in 50 patients with haemophilia A and 93 determinations in 13 patients with haemophilia B. For FVIII, the mean variance within patients exceeded the between-patient variance. Thus, an individually determined IVR value is apparently no more informative than an average, or population, value for the dosing of FVIII. There was no apparent relationship between IVR and age of the patient (1.5–67 years). For FIX, the mean variance within patients was lower than the between-patient variance, and there was a significant positive relationship between IVR and age (13–69 years). From these data, it seems probable that using an individual IVR confers little advantage in comparison to using an age-specific population mean value. Dose tailoring of coagulation factor treatment has been applied successfully after determination of the entire single-dose curve of FVIII:C or FIX:C in the patient and calculation of the relevant pharmacokinetic parameters. However, the findings presented here do not support the assumption that dosing of FVIII or FIX can be individualized on the basis of a clinically determined IVR value.
