- Using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method, the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of colistin were determined in patients aged 11/2 months to 14 years receiving intravenous colistimethate sodium (60,000 to 225,000 IU/kg of body weight/day). Only in one of five courses studied (a 14-year-old receiving 225,000 IU/kg/day) did serum concentrations exceed the 2 mu g/ml CLSI/EUCAST breakpoint defining susceptibility to colistin for Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter. CSF colistin concentrations were <0.2 mu g/ml but increased in the presence of meningitis (similar to 0.5 mu g/ml or 34 to 67% of serum levels).

A Whole-Body Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic (WBPBPK-PD) Model for Colistin in Critically Ill Patients
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Objectives: Colistin is used as a salvage therapy for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections and administered as a prodrug, colistimethate sodium (CMS). Characterizing distribution of colistin at the site of infection is important to optimize bacterial killing. The aims of this analysis were (i) to apply a whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (WPBPK) model structure to describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) of CMS and colistin in critically ill patients and (ii) to predict colistin concentration-time courses and bacterial killing in target tissues combining the WBPBPK model with a semi-mechanistic pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) model.Methods: 27 critically ill patients treated with colistin were included in the analysis. A WBPBPK model previously developed in rat was applied to describe CMS and colistin PK data. The model was used to predict tissue concentrations in lungs, skin, blood and kidneys to drive a semi-mechanistic PKPD model on a wild-type (ATCC 27853) or a meropenem-resistant (AUR552) clinical strain P. aeruginosa to predict bacterial killing following the original dosing regimen and by replacing the original initial dose with a loading dose of 9MU.Results: The plasma data were reasonably well described by the WBPBPK model for both CMS and colistin with a slight overprediction at the 1st occasion. High exposure was predicted in kidneys comparable to what had been predicted in previous studies, in rat and healthy subjects. Bacterial load was quickly cleared for both the ATCC 27853 and ARU552 strains in all tissues and at a higher extend in kidney tissue, for all dosing scenarios.Conclusion: The WPBPK model was able to adequately describe the PK of CMS and colistin in critically ill patients. The combination of the predicted PK profiles in tissues of interest with a PKPD model was able to predict the bactericidal effect of colistin at target sites.

- An analytical method for quantitation of colistin A and colistin B in plasma and culture medium is described. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile (ACN) containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), the supernatants were diluted with 0.03% TFA. The compounds were separated on an Ultrasphere C18 column, 4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 mu m particle size with a mobile phase consisting of 25% ACN in 0.03% TFA and detected with tandem mass spectrometry. The instrument was operating in ESI negative ion mode and the precursor-product ion pairs were m/z 1167.7 -> 1079.6 for colistin A and m/z 1153.7 -> 1065.6 for colistin B. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for 100 mu L plasma was 19.4 and 10.5 ng/mL for colistin A and B, respectively, with CV <6.2% and accuracy <+/- 12.6%. For culture medium (50 mu L+ 50 mu L plasma), LLOQ was 24.2 and 13.2 ng/mL for colistin A and B, respectively, with CV <11.4% and accuracy <+/- 8.1%. The quick sample work-up method allows for determination of colistin A and B in clinical samples without causing hydrolysis of the prodrug colistin methanesulfonate (CMS).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This report describes the pharmacokinetics of colistin methanesulfonate (CMS) and colistin in five intensive care unit patients receiving continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration. For CMS, the mean maximum concentration of drug in plasma (C(max)) after the fourth dose was 6.92 mg/liter and total clearance (CL) 8.23 liters/h. For colistin, the mean concentration was 0.92 mg/liter and CL/metabolized fraction (f(m)) 18.91 liters/h. Colistin concentrations were below the current MIC breakpoints, and the area under the concentration-time curve for the free, unbound fraction of the drug over 24 h in the steady state divided by the MIC (fAUC/MIC) was lower than recommended, suggesting that a dosage regimen of 160 mg CMS every 8 h (q8h) is inadequate.

Application of a Loading Dose of Colistin Methanesulfonate in Critically Ill Patients : Population Pharmacokinetics, Protein Binding, and Prediction of Bacterial Kill

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A previous pharmacokinetic study on dosing of colistin methanesulfonate (CMS) at 240 mg (3 million units [MU]) every 8 h indicated that colistin has a long half-life, resulting in insufficient concentrations for the first 12 to 48 h after initiation of treatment. A loading dose would therefore be beneficial. The aim of this study was to evaluate CMS and colistin pharmacokinetics following a 480-mg (6-MU) loading dose in critically ill patients and to explore the bacterial kill following the use of different dosing regimens obtained by predictions from a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model developed from an in vitro study on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The unbound fractions of colistin A and colistin B were determined using equilibrium dialysis and considered in the predictions. Ten critically ill patients (6 males; mean age, 54 years; mean creatinine clearance, 82 ml/min) with infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria were enrolled in the study. The pharmacokinetic data collected after the first and eighth doses were analyzed simultaneously with the data from the previous study (total, 28 patients) in the NONMEM program. For CMS, a two-compartment model best described the pharmacokinetics, and the half-lives of the two phases were estimated to be 0.026 and 2.2 h, respectively. For colistin, a one-compartment model was sufficient and the estimated half-life was 18.5 h. The unbound fractions of colistin in the patients were 26 to 41% at clinical concentrations. Colistin A, but not colistin B, had a concentration-dependent binding. The predictions suggested that the time to 3-log-unit bacterial kill for a 480-mg loading dose was reduced to half of that for the dose of 240 mg.
