Abstract
Adequate dosing of antimicrobials is paramount for treating infections in critically ill patients undergoing kidney replacement therapy; however, little is known about antimicrobial removal by sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED). The objective was to quantify the removal of cefepime, daptomycin, meropenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, and vancomycin in patients undergoing SLED. Adult patients ≥18 years with acute kidney injury (AKI) or end-stage kidney disease receiving one of the select antimicrobials and requiring SLED were included. Blood and dialysate flow rates were maintained at 250 and 100 mL/min, respectively. Simultaneous arterial and venous blood samples for the analysis of antibiotic concentrations were collected hourly for 8 hours during SLED (on-SLED). Arterial samples were collected every 2 hours for up to 6 hours while not receiving SLED (off-SLED) for the calculation of SLED clearance, half-life (t1/2) on-SLED and off-SLED, and the fraction of removal by SLED (fD). Twenty-one patients completed the study: 52% male, mean age (±SD) 53 ± 13 years, and mean weight of 98 ± 30 kg. Eighty-six percent had AKI, and 4 patients were receiving cefepime, 3 daptomycin, 10 meropenem, 6 piperacillin-tazobactam, and 13 vancomycin. The average SLED time was 7.3 ± 1.1 hours, and the mean ultrafiltration rate was 95 ± 52 mL/hour (range 10-211). The t1/2 on-SLED was substantially lower than the off-SLED t1/2 for all antimicrobials, and the SLED fD varied between 44% and 77%. An 8-hour SLED session led to significant elimination of most antimicrobials evaluated. If SLED is performed, modification of the dosing regimen is warranted to avoid subtherapeutic concentrations.

Abstract
Polymerization of tubulin dimers to form microtubules is one of the key events in cell proliferation. The inhibition of this event has long been recognized as a potential treatment option for various types of cancer. Compound 1e was previously developed by our team as a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization that binds to the colchicine site. To further improve the potency and therapeutic properties of compound 1e, we hypothesized based on the X-ray crystal structure that modification of the pyrimidine dihydroquinoxalinone scaffold with additional hetero-atom (N, O, and S) substituents could allow the resulting new compounds to bind more tightly to the colchicine site and display greater efficacy in cancer therapy. We therefore synthesized a series of new pyrimidine dihydroquinoxalinone derivatives, compounds 10, 12b-c, 12e, 12h, and 12j-l, and evaluated their cytotoxicity and relative ability to inhibit proliferation, resulting in the discovery of new tubulin-polymerization inhibitors. Among these, the most potent new inhibitor was compound 12k, which exhibited high cytotoxic activity in vitro, a longer half-life than the parental compound in liver microsomes (IC50 = 0.2 nM, t 1/2 = >300 min), and significant potency against a wide range of cancer cell lines including those from melanoma and breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. High-resolution X-ray crystal structures of the best compounds in this scaffold series, 12e, 12j, and 12k, confirmed their direct binding to the colchicine site of tubulin and revealed their detailed molecular interactions. Further evaluation of 12k in vivo using a highly taxane-resistant prostate cancer xenograft model, PC-3/TxR, demonstrated the strong tumor growth inhibition at the low dose of 2.5 mg/kg (i.v., twice per week). Collectively, these results strongly support further preclinical evaluations of 12k as a potential candidate for development.
