Abstract
Piperacillin (PIP) and tazobactam (TAZ) are broad-spectrum beta-lactam antimicrobial agents, which are frequently co-prescribed in intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide. Ibuprofen (IBU) is a potent pain killer which is commonly co-prescribed with PIP and TAZ postoperatively. The combination therapy of PIP, TAZ, and IBU has been administered commonly after surgical procedures to combat aerobic and anaerobic microbes and exert anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. This study describes, for the first time, the development of a new capillary electrophoresis (CE) method with a photodiode array detector for the simultaneous determination of PIP, TAZ, and IBU in plasma samples. The experimental factors affecting the elution of analytes were carefully optimized. The final analysis was achieved using a fused silica capillary (58 cm effective length and 75 μm ID) and a background electrolyte solution containing a methanol/borax buffer solution (15 mM and pH 9.3) in a ratio of (10 : 90 v/v) with a driving voltage of 30 kV and detection at 210 nm. The relationship between the peak area and concentration was linear from 1 to 200 μg mL-1 for both PIP and TAZ and from 3 to 200 μg mL-1 for TAZ. The method used was thoroughly validated in accordance with the validation requirements set out by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for bio-analytical processes. The proposed CE method was employed to conduct pharmacokinetic and bioavailability studies of the drugs in rat models. The pharmacokinetic results revealed that there is a significant impact upon prescribing this combination concurrently when compared to their single administration. To illustrate, the time required to reach their maximum concentrations (T max) was increased by 0.25 h for both PIP and TAZ, whereas it was increased by 0.5 for IBU. When it comes to their maximum concentration (C max), it was increased by 13.7%, 55.5%, and 44% for PIP, TAZ, and IBU, respectively. Furthermore, the bioavailabilities of PIP, TAZ, and IBU were significantly increased by 55.4%, 19.7%, and 35.6%, respectively. These findings require caution when these drugs are co-prescribed as there is a noticeable augmentation in their therapeutic impacts. Additionally, the greenness of the proposed method was assessed by three metric tools. In conclusion, the method is a valuable tool for further studies on drug-drug interaction in humans.

Simple HPLC-UV Method for Piperacillin/Tazobactam Assay in Human Plasma. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:antibiotics12020321. [PMID: 36830231 PMCID: PMC9952387 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12020321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Piperacillin (Pip)/tazobactam (Taz) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that has been commonly used in the intensive care unit for severe and life-threatening infections. Recent evidence suggests that therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for Pip could be beneficial in clinical practice to facilitate dose optimization and increase the odds of treatment success. The aim was to develop and validate a sensitive and simple high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the simultaneous quantification of Pip and Taz in human plasma. METHODS Samples (0.3 mL) were deproteinized with acetonitrile. The supernatant was evaporated and then reconstituted and injected into the HPLC. The chromatographic analysis was carried out by using the C18 column and gradient elution with the acetonitrile:water mobile phase mixture with 0.1% trifluoracetic acid at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min using a UV detector at 218 nm. RESULTS The method had acceptable linearity (r2 > 0.99) over the concentration ranges of 0.5-400 μg/mL and 1-100 μg/mL for Pip and Taz, respectively. The method demonstrated acceptable inter- and intra-day precision and accuracy within ±20% with adequate stability results. CONCLUSION The developed method is sensitive and simple and utilizes simple sample preparation and elution steps, making it suitable and practical for Pip/Taz TDM.

Abstract
Abstract
Measuring the concentration of antibiotics in biological samples allow implementation of therapeutic monitoring of these drugs and contribute to the adjustment of the dosing regimen in patients. This increases the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy, reduces the toxicity of these drugs and prevents the development of bacterial resistance. This review article summarizes current knowledge on methods for determining concentration of meropenem, an antibiotic drug from the group of carbapenems, in different biological samples. It provides a brief discussion of the chemical structure, physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of meropenem, different sample preparation techniques, use of apparatus and equipment, knowledge of the advantages and limitations of available methods, as well as directions in which new methods should be developed. This review should facilitate clinical laboratories to select and apply one of the established methods for measuring of meropenem, as well as to provide them with the necessary knowledge to develop new methods for quantification of meropenem in biological samples according to their needs.

Abstract
A simple and fast high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method for quantification of tazobactam, piperacillin, and meropenem in human plasma has been developed and validated. Simple sample preparation with a volume of 10 μL was done by protein precipitation with a mixture of methanol-acetonitrile-water (6:2:2, v/v/v). Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Luna column with a precolumn security guard by gradient elution using a mobile phase consisting of water with the addition of 0.1% formic acid (component A) and mixture methanol-acetonitrile (8:2, v/v) with the addition of 0.1% formic acid (component B). The run time was 2.7 min. The lower limits of detection and lower limits of quantification were for piperacillin 0.03 and 0.1 mg/L, for meropenem 0.04 and 0.2 mg/L and for tazobactam 0.16 and 0.5 mg/L. The validated method was used for therapeutic monitoring of tazobactam, piperacillin, and meropenem in samples of patients treated in the intensive care unit.

Abstract
Background and Objective Standard piperacillin–tazobactam (P-T) dosing may be suboptimal in obesity, but high-dose regimens have not been studied. We prospectively evaluated the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of standard- and high-dose P-T in obese adult inpatients. Methods Those receiving standard-dose P-T with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 weighing 105–139 kg or ≥ 140 kg were given up to 6.75 g or 9 g every 6 h, respectively. Patients were monitored closely for safety. Elimination phase blood samples were drawn for 28 patients on standard and high doses to calculate the pharmacokinetic values using a one-compartment model. The likelihood of pharmacodynamic target attainment (100% fT > 16/4 mg/L) on various P-T regimens was calculated using each patient’s own pharmacokinetic values. Results Piperacillin and tazobactam half-lives ranged from 0.5–10.6 to 0.9–15.0 h, while volumes of distribution ranged from 13.6–54.8 to 11.5–60.1 L, respectively. Predicted dose requirements for target attainment ranged from 2.25 g every 6 h in hemodialysis patients to a 27 g/24-h continuous infusion in a patient with a short P-T half-life. An amount of 4.5 g every 6 h would have met the target for only 1/12 (8%) patients with creatinine clearance ≥ 80 mL/min and 13/28 (46%) for all enrolled patients. One patient (3%) experienced an adverse event deemed probably related to high-dose P-T. Conclusion Some patients required high P-T doses for target attainment, but dosing requirements were highly variable. Doses up to 6.75 g or 9 g every 6 h may be tolerable; however, studies are needed to see if high dosing, prolonged infusions, or real-time therapeutic drug monitoring improves outcomes in obese patients.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used in intensive care patients to treat severe infections. To avoid bacterial resistance or toxic side effects, the determination of serum concentration of ABs is advisable. Therefore, in this study, we developed and validated a simple and fast high-performance liquid chromatography method with UV detection for the simultaneous determination of four β-lactam ABs (meropenem, imipenem, ceftazidime, and piperacillin) and two coadministered substances (cilastatin and tazobactam) in human serum. Sample preparation required a simple protein precipitation by methanol. The separation of the ABs occurred within a timeframe of 17 min. For this purpose, we used a Kinetex F5 column with a linear gradient of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (pH 6.9). The UV detector recorded two separate chromatograms at 220 and 295 nm simultaneously. Validation has demonstrated that the method is linear, accurate, and precise within the clinically relevant range for each substance.

Abstract
A simple, rapid and accurate stability-indicating HPLC assay was developed for the determination of acyclovir and lidocaine in topical formulations. Chromatographic separation of acyclovir and lidocaine was achieved using a reversed-phase C18 column and a gradient mobile phase (20 mm ammonium acetate pH 3.5 in water and acetonitrile). The degradation products of acyclovir and lidocaine in the samples were analyzed by ultra performance liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry. The HPLC method successfully resolved the analytes from the impurities and degradation products in the topical formulation. Furthermore, the method detected the analytes from the human skin leachables following the extraction of the analytes in the skin homogenate samples. The method showed linearity over wide ranges of 5-500 and 10-200 μg/ml for acyclovir and lidocaine in the topical product, respectively, with a correlation coefficient (r2 ) >0.9995. The relative standard deviations for precision, repeatability, and robustness of the method validation assays were <2%. The skin extraction efficiency for acyclovir and lidocaine was 92.8 ± 0.7% and 91.3 ± 3.2%, respectively, with no interference from the skin leachables. Thus, simultaneous quantification of acyclovir and lidocaine in the topical formulations was achieved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a common diagnosis in critical care with inpatient mortality rates up to 50%. Sepsis care is organized around source control, antibiotics, and supportive care. Drug disposition is deranged by changes in volume of distribution and regional blood flow, as well as multiple organ failure. Thus, assuring that each patient with sepsis attains pharmacokinetic targets is challenging. There is currently no commercially available FDA-approved assay to measure piperacillin-tazobactam, very commonly used as a beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combination antibiotic in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS Samples were prepared by ultrafiltration of plasma collected in lithium heparin Vacutainers. Separation was achieved by gradient elution on a C-18 column followed by UV detection at 214 nm. The method is validated in residual blood samples allowing investigators to exploit a waste product to develop insight into beta-lactam pharmacokinetics in the ICU. RESULTS Accuracy and precision were within the 25% CLIA error standard for other antibiotic assays. Free piperacillin concentrations were also in good agreement with total piperacillin concentrations measured in the same plasma by an assay in clinical use outside the United States. CONCLUSION We describe a method for measuring piperacillin and tazobactam that meets clinical validation standards. Quick turnaround time and excellent accuracy on a low-cost platform make this method more than adequate for use as a routine therapeutic drug monitoring tool.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to develop and validate a robust multi-analyte high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous quantification of cefepime, meropenem, ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, linezolid and piperacillin, which are the most commonly used antibiotics in intensive care units. Sample clean-up included a protein precipitation protocol, followed by chromatographic separation on a C8 reverse phase HPLC column within 4 min, using a formic acid-ammonium formiate methanol step-elution gradient. All compounds were detected with electrospray ionization (ESI+) mass spectrometry in multiple reaction time monitoring. The method was validated according to the protocol from the European Medicines Agency and was thoroughly evaluated for interferences and quantification linearity. Linear relationships between peak area responses and drug concentrations were obtained in the range of 0.25-200 mg/l for cefepime, 0.25-120 mg/l for meropenem, 0.05-10 mg/l for ciprofloxacin, 0.125-10 mg/l for moxifloxacin, 0.125-50 mg/l for linezolid and 0.5-400 mg/l for piperacillin with an R2 > 0.997. Imprecision and inaccuracy values (both intra- and inter-assay) were ≤ 6.8% and ≤10.9% for all analytes in quality control samples, respectively. The assay proved to be selective for the study antibiotics, and the internal standards consistently compensated for matrix effects. The described simple and reliable HPLC-MS/MS assay is a powerful tool for routine TDM of cefepime, meropenem, ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, linezolid and piperacillin in human serum in clinical laboratories. With a total process time of approximately 30 min, it allows for accurate and selective quantification up to the expected pharmacokinetic peak concentrations.

Abstract
Piperacillin-tazobactam is a beta-lactam/beta-lactamase combination antibiotic used in patients with moderate to severe infection. Dosing of piperacillin-tazobactam requires an understanding of this patient group to maximise the effectiveness of this antibiotic and limit a further emergence of resistant pathogens. This is the first method that measures piperacillin and tazobactam simultaneously, across this range of clinically-relevant biological matrices. The calibration line was linear across the concentration range of 0.5-500μg/mL for piperacillin and 0.625-62.5μg/mL for tazobactam. All validation testing for matrix effects, precision and accuracy, specificity and stability were within 15%. A calibration equivalence study was performed to investigate the suitability of applying calibration curves prepared in an alternative matrix, with a mean bias of -10.8% identified for the application of a calibration line prepared for tazobactam in plasma only. Bias for all other calibration lines prepared in alternate matrices was within the 5% acceptance criteria. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of a critically ill patient receiving renal replacement therapy, with the results included.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a useful tool to optimize antibiotic therapy. Increasing interest in alternative dosing strategies of beta-lactam antibiotics, e.g. continuous or prolonged infusion, require a feasible analytical method for quantification of these antimicrobial agents. However, pre-analytical issues including sample handling and stability are to be considered to provide valuable analytical results. METHODS For the simultaneous determination of piperacillin, meropenem, ceftazidime and flucloxacillin, a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method including protein precipitation was established utilizing ertapenem as internal standard. Long-term stability of stock solutions and plasma samples were monitored. Furthermore, whole blood stability of the analytes in heparinized blood tubes was investigated comparing storage under ambient conditions and 2-8°C. RESULTS A calibration range of 5-200μg/ml (piperacillin, ceftazidime, flucloxacillin) and 2-200μg/ml (meropenem) was linear with r2>0.999, precision and inaccuracy were <9% and <11%, respectively. The successfully validated HPLC assay was applied to clinical samples and stability investigations. At -80°C, plasma samples were stable for 9 months (piperacillin, meropenem) or 13 months (ceftazidime, flucloxacillin). Concentrations of the four beta-lactam antibiotics in whole blood tubes were found to remain within specifications for 8h when stored at 2-8°C but not at room temperature. CONCLUSIONS The presented method is a rapid and simple option for routine TDM of piperacillin, meropenem, ceftazidime and flucloxacillin. Whereas long-term storage of beta-lactam samples at -80°C is possible for at least 9 months, whole blood tubes are recommended to be kept refrigerated until analysis.
