In vivo Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Profiles of Tulathromycin in an Experimental Intraperitoneal Haemophilus parasuis Infection Model in Neutropenic Guinea Pigs.

[PMID: 34869712 PMCID: PMC8632807 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2021.715887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Tulathromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antimicrobial that has an important role in veterinary medicine for respiratory disease. The objective of the study was to develop a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model to examine the efficacy and determine an optimal dosage of tulathromycin intramuscular (IM) treatment against Haemophilus parasuis infection induced after intraperitoneal inoculation in neutropenic guinea pigs. The PKs of tulathromycin in serum and lung tissue after intramuscular administration at doses of 1, 10, and 20 mg/kg in H. parasuis-infected neutropenic guinea pigs were evaluated by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The tulathromycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against H. parasuis was ~16 times lower in guinea pig serum (0.03 μg/mL) than in cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth (CAMHB) (0.5 μg/mL). The ratio of the 168-h area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) to MIC (AUC168h/MIC) positively correlated with the in vivo antibacterial effectiveness of tulathromycin (R 2 = 0.9878 in serum and R 2 = 0.9911 in lung tissue). The computed doses to achieve a reduction of 2-log10 CFU/lung from the ratios of AUC72h/MIC were 5.7 mg/kg for serum and 2.5 mg/kg for lung tissue, which lower than the values of 13.2 mg/kg for serum and 8.9 mg/kg for lung tissue with AUC168h/MIC. In addition, using as objective a 2-log10 reduction and an AUC0-72h as the value of the PK/PD index could be more realistic. The results of this study could provide a solid foundation for the application of PK/PD models in research on macrolide antibiotics used to treat respiratory diseases.

The Role of New Posaconazole Formulations in the Treatment of Candida albicans Infections: Data from an In Vitro Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Model. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2021; 65:AAC.01292-20. [PMID: 33468486 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01292-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Posaconazole is more active than fluconazole against Candida albicans in vitro and is approved for the treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis but not for that of invasive candidiasis (IC). Here, we explored the efficacy of posaconazole against C. albicans in an in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model of IC and determined the probability of pharmacodynamic target attainment for the oral solution and intravenous (i.v.)/tablet formulations. Three clinical C. albicans isolates (posaconazole MICs, 0.008 to 0.25 mg/liter) were studied in the in vitro PK/PD dilution model simulating steady-state posaconazole PK. The in vitro exposure-effect relationship, area under the 24-h free drug concentration curve (fAUC0-24)/MIC, was described and compared with in vivo outcome in animals with IC. PK/PD susceptibility breakpoints and trough levels required for optimal treatment were determined for EUCAST and CLSI 24-h/48-h (CLSI24h/CLSI48h) methods using the fAUC0-24/MIC associated with half-maximal activity (EI50) and Monte Carlo simulation analysis for oral solution (400 mg every 12 hours [q12h]) and i.v./tablet formulations (300 mg q24h). The in vitro mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) EI50 was 330 (183 to 597) fAUC0-24/MIC for CLSI24h and 169 (92 to 310) for EUCAST/CLSI48h methods, which are close to the near-stasis in vivo effect. The probability of target attainment for EI50 was estimated; for the wild-type isolates (MIC ≤ 0.06 mg/liter), it was low for the oral solution and higher than 95% for the i.v./tablet formulations for the EUCAST/CLSI48h methods but not for the CLSI 24-h method. Non-wild-type isolates with EUCAST/CLSI48h MICs of 0.125 and 0.25 mg/liter would require trough levels of >1.2 and >2.4 mg/liter, respectively. Posaconazole i.v./tablet formulations may have a role in the therapy of invasive infections by wild-type C. albicans isolates, provided that a steady state is reached quickly. A PK/PD susceptibility breakpoint at the epidemiological cutoff (ECV/ECOFF) of 0.06 mg/liter was determined.

Drug Resist Updat 2014; 17:37-50. [PMID: 25066814 DOI: 10.1016/j.drup.2014.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 76] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2013] [Revised: 06/21/2014] [Accepted: 06/29/2014] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
Azole resistance is an emerging problem in Aspergillus fumigatus and is associated with a high probability of treatment failure. An azole resistance mechanism typically decreases the activity of multiple azole compounds, depending on the mutation. As alternative treatment options are limited and in some isolates the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) increases by only a few two-fold dilutions steps, we investigated if voriconazole and posaconazole have a role in treating azole-resistant Aspergillus disease. The relation between resistance genotype and phenotype, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, and (pre)clinical treatment efficacy were reviewed. The results were used to estimate the exposure needed to achieve the pharmacodynamic target for each MIC. For posaconazole adequate exposure can be achieved only for wild type isolates as dose escalation does not allow PD target attainment. However, the new intravenous formulation might result in sufficient exposure to treat isolates with a MIC of 0.5 mg/L. For voriconazole our analysis indicated that the exposure needed to treat infection due to isolates with a MIC of 2 mg/L is feasible and maybe isolates with a MIC of 4 mg/L. However, extreme caution and strict monitoring of drug levels would be required, as the probability of toxicity will also increase.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cornea ulceration and infectious keratitis are leading causes of corneal morbidity and blindness. Infectious causes are among the most frequent and most severe. Management strategies for bacterial corneal ulcers have changed significantly over the last decades, however with a more limited progress in the treatment and management of nonbacterial, infectious ulcers. AREAS COVERED This paper provides an overview of the current principles, strategies and treatment choices for infectious corneal ulcers in adults. EXPERT OPINION Topical application with a broad-spectrum antimicrobial remains the preferred method for the pharmacological management of infectious corneal ulcers. Increasing reports of clinical failures and in vitro resistance to antibiotics to treat the most common infectious (bacterial) corneal ulcers are increasing concerns. New approaches for improvement in the pharmacological management of corneal ulcers should focus on strategies for a more rational and evidence-based use of current antimicrobials and development of products to modulate the host immune response and to neutralize microbial toxins and other immune modulators.

Int J Antimicrob Agents 2013; 41:229-35.

Abstract
In this study, the distribution of a new triazole drug, iodiconazole, in rat dermal interstitial fluid and blood was investigated by double-site microdialysis following dermal administration. It was demonstrated that well-calibrated microdialysis sampling in rats could be used to assess the percutaneous penetration kinetics of iodiconazole cream. Iodiconazole penetrated rapidly and cleared slowly from the dermis. The ratio of area under the concentration-time curve in dermis (AUC(dermis)) to that in blood (AUC(blood)) was close to 20, which meant that the free iodiconazole concentration had a higher distribution in the target tissue. Subsequently, the in vitro antifungal activities of iodiconazole were evaluated and were compared with those of fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, miconazole and terbinafine. Iodiconazole exhibited broad spectrum and potent activity against 12 kinds of clinically pathogenic fungi. The drug concentration percentage inhibition curves versus time of iodiconazole against the tested fungi elucidated the two-dimensional relationship (concentration-effect) following drug administration, indicating that the percentage inhibition (%) of iodiconazole compared with the drug-free control in dermal dialysate were all >90% in the 900-min sampling time following dermal administration. Moreover, integration of in vivo pharmacokinetic data with the in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) provided iodiconazole AUC/MIC ratios in rat dermis and blood of 347.7h and 18.8h, respectively, with an iodiconazole cream (2%) dosage of 0.033 g/cm² (3 cm×5 cm). These findings show a reservoir effect in the skin following topical application. Iodiconazole topical cream may be a future alternative for treatment of dermatophytosis in humans.

Abstract
Nuclear medicine techniques provide potential non-invasive tools for imaging infections and inflammations in the body in a precise way. These techniques are further exploited by the use of radiopharmaceuticals in conjunction with imaging tests such as scintigraphy and positron emission tomography. Improved agents for targeting infection exploit the specific accumulation of radiolabeled compounds to understand the pathophysiologic changes involved in the inflammatory process and correlate them with other chronic illnesses. In the recent past, a wide variety of radiopharmaceuticals have been developed, broadly classified as specific radiopharmaceuticals and nonspecific radiopharmaceuticals. New developments in positron emission (leveraging 18F and 18fluorodeoxyglucose) and heterocyclic/peptide chemistry and radiochemistry are resulting in unique agents with high specific activity. Various approaches to visualizing infection and inflammation are presented in this review, in an integral manner, that give a clear view of the existing radiopharmaceuticals in clinical practice and those under development.

Abstract
Voriconazole is approved for treating invasive fungal infections. We examined voriconazole exposure-response relationships for patients from nine published clinical trials. The relationship between the mean voriconazole plasma concentration (C(avg)) and clinical response and between the free C(avg)/MIC ratio versus the clinical response were explored using logistic regression. The impact of covariates on response was also assessed. Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the relationship between the trough concentration/MIC ratio and the probability of response. The covariates individually related to response were as follows: study (P < 0.001), therapy (primary/salvage, P < 0.001), primary diagnosis (P < 0.001), race (P = 0.004), baseline bilirubin (P < 0.001), baseline alkaline phosphatase (P = 0.014), and pathogen (yeast/mold, P < 0.001). The C(avg) for 72% of the patients was 0.5 to 5.0 μg/ml, with the maximum response rate (74%) at 3.0 to 4.0 μg/ml. The C(avg) showed a nonlinear relationship to response (P < 0.003), with a lower probability at the extremes. For patients with C(avg) < 0.5 μg/ml, the response rate was 57%. The lowest response rate (56%) was seen with a C(avg) ≥ 5.0 μg/ml (18% of patients) and was associated with significantly lower mold infection responses compared to yeasts (P < 0.001) but not with voriconazole toxicity. Higher free C(avg)/MIC ratios were associated with a progressively higher probability of response. Monte Carlo simulation suggested that a trough/MIC ratio of 2 to 5 is associated with a near-maximal probability of response. The probability of response is lower at the extremes of C(avg). Patients with higher free C(avg)/MIC ratios have a higher probability of clinical response. A trough/MIC ratio of 2 to 5 can be used as a target for therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
A 12 month survey of candidaemia in Scotland, UK, in which every Scottish hospital laboratory submitted all blood isolates of yeasts for identification, strain typing and susceptibility testing, provided 300 isolates from 242 patients, generating incidence data of 4.8 cases per 100,000 population per year and 5.9 cases per 100,000 acute occupied bed days; 27.9 % of cases occurred in intensive care units. More than half the patients with candidaemia had an underlying disease involving the abdomen, 78 % had an indwelling intravenous catheter, 62 % had suffered a bacterial infection within the 2 weeks prior to candidaemia and 37 % had undergone a laparotomy. Candida albicans was the infecting species in 50 % of cases, followed by Candida glabrata (21 %) and Candida parapsilosis (12 %). Seven cases of candidaemia were caused by Candida dubliniensis, which was more prevalent even than Candida lusitaniae and Candida tropicalis (six cases each). Among C. glabrata isolates, 55 % showed reduced susceptibility to fluconazole, but azole resistance among other species was extremely low. Multilocus sequence typing showed isolates with high similarity came from different hospitals across the country, and many different types came from the hospitals that submitted the most isolates, indicating no tendency towards hospital-specific endemic strains. Multiple isolates of C. albicans and C. glabrata from individual patients were of the same strain type with single exceptions for each species. The high prevalence of candidaemia in Scotland, relative to other population-based European studies, and the high level of reduced fluconazole susceptibility of Scottish C. glabrata isolates warrant continued future surveillance of invasive Candida infections.

Abstract
A population pharmacokinetic model of liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) in pediatric patients with malignant diseases was developed and evaluated. Blood samples were collected from 39 pediatric oncology patients who received multiple doses of L-AmB with a dose range from 0.8 to 5.9 mg/kg of body weight/day. The patient cohort had an average age of 7 years (range, 0.2 to 17 years) and weighed an average of 28.8 +/- 19.8 kg. Population pharmacokinetic analyses were performed with NONMEM software. Pharmacokinetic parameters, interindividual variability (IIV), between-occasion variability (BOV), and intraindividual variability were estimated. The influence of patient characteristics on the pharmacokinetics of L-AmB was explored. The final population pharmacokinetic model was evaluated by using a bootstrap sampling technique. The L-AmB plasma concentration-time data was described by a two-compartment pharmacokinetic model with zero-order input and first-order elimination. The population mean estimates of clearance (CL) and volume of distribution in the central compartment (V1) were 0.44 liters/h and 3.12 liters, respectively, and exhibited IIV (CL, 10%) and significant BOV (CL, 46% and V1, 56%). The covariate models were CL (liters/h) = 0.44 . e(0.0152.(WT-21)) and V1 (liters) = 3.12.e(0.0241.(WT-21)), where WT is the patient's body weight (kg) centered on the study population cohort median of 21 kg. Model evaluation by the bootstrap procedure indicated that the full pharmacokinetic model was robust and parameter estimates were accurate. In conclusion, the pharmacokinetics of L-AmB in pediatric oncology patients were adequately described by the developed population model. The model has been evaluated and can be used in the design of rational dosing strategies for L-AmB antifungal therapy in this special population.

Abstract
Echinocandins are a novel class of antifungal drugs. They have good activity against Candida spp and Aspergillus spp. Their low selective toxicity allows their administration at high doses with few secondary side effects. We have reviewed the available data on the endpoints for these drugs in their in vitro susceptibility testing on yeasts and moulds. The microdilution broth method is the most commonly used technique and MIC-1 (80% of growth inhibition) seems to be the most reliable endpoint when yeasts are tested. This endpoint also seems to be the most appropriate for the different drugs when they are combined with echinocandins using the checkerboard method for testing yeasts. By contrast, in the case of moulds, the minimum effective concentration (MEC) correlates better with the in vivo activity than the MIC when echinocandins are tested, and when these drugs are combined with other antifungals, MIC-2 (50% of growth inhibition) seems the most appropriate endpoint. Criteria based on drug pharmacodynamics is the most useful to define the echinocandin endpoints that best correlate with their in vivo efficacy.
