Abstract

- New, more efficient methods of estimating unbound drug concentrations in the CNS combine the amount of drug in whole brain tissue samples measured by conventional methods with in vitro estimates of the unbound brain volume of distribution (Vu,brain). While the brain slice method is the most reliable in vitro method for measuring Vu,brain, it has not previously been adapted for the needs of drug discovery research. The aim of this study was to increase the throughput and optimize the experimental conditions of this method. Equilibrium of drug between the buffer and the brain slice within the 4-5 hours of incubation is a fundamental requirement. However, it is difficult to meet this requirement for many of the extensively binding, lipophilic compounds in drug discovery programmes. In this study, the dimensions of the incubation vessel and mode of stirring influenced the equilibration time, as did the amount of brain tissue per unit buffer volume. The use of casette experiments for investigating Vu,brain in a linear drug concentration range increased the throughput of the method. The Vu,brain for the model compounds ranged from mL*g brain(-1); the sources of variability are discussed. The optimized set-up of the brain slice method allows precise, robust estimation of Vu,brain for drugs with diverse properties, including highly lipophilic compounds. This is a critical step forward for the implementation of relevant measurements of CNS exposure in the drug discovery setting.
