Significant accumulation of polymyxin in single renal tubular cells: a medicinal chemistry and triple correlative microscopy approach.

ABSTRACT: Polymyxin is the last-line therapy against Gram-negative 'superbugs'; however, dose-limiting nephrotoxicity can occur in up to 60% of patients after intravenous administration. Understanding the accumulation and concentration of polymyxin within renal tubular cells is essential for the development of novel strategies to ameliorate its nephrotoxicity and to develop safer, new polymyxins. We designed and synthesized a novel dual-modality iodine-labeled fluorescent probe for quantitative mapping of polymyxin in kidney proximal tubular cells. Measured by synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy, polymyxin concentrations in single rat (NRK-52E) and human (HK-2) kidney tubular cells were approximately 1930- to 4760-fold higher than extracellular concentrations. Our study is the first to quantitatively measure the significant uptake of polymyxin in renal tubular cells and provides crucial information for the understanding of polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity. Importantly, our approach represents a significant methodological advancement in determination of drug uptake for single-cell pharmacology.

Project description:Resistance to polymyxin antibiotics is increasing. Without new antibiotic classes, combination therapy is often required. We systematically investigated bacterial killing with polymyxin-based combinations against multidrug-resistant (including polymyxin-resistant), carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Monotherapies and double- and triple-combination therapies were compared to identify the most efficacious treatment using static time-kill studies (24 h, six isolates), an in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model (IVM; 48 h, two isolates), and the mouse thigh infection model (24 h, six isolates). In static time-kill studies, all monotherapies (polymyxin B, rifampin, amikacin, meropenem, or minocycline) were ineffective. Initial bacterial killing was enhanced with various polymyxin B-containing double combinations; however, substantial regrowth occurred in most cases by 24 h. Most polymyxin B-containing triple combinations provided greater and more sustained killing than double combinations. Standard dosage regimens of polymyxin B (2.5 mg/kg of body weight/day), rifampin (600 mg every 12 h), and amikacin (7.5 mg/kg every 12 h) were simulated in the IVM. Against isolate ATH 16, no viable bacteria were detected across 5 to 25 h with triple therapy, with regrowth to ∼2-log10 CFU/ml occurring at 48 h. Against isolate BD 32, rapid initial killing of ∼3.5-log10 CFU/ml at 5 h was followed by a slow decline to ∼2-log10 CFU/ml at 48 h. In infected mice, polymyxin B monotherapy (60 mg/kg/day) generally was ineffective. With triple therapy (polymyxin B at 60 mg/kg/day, rifampin at 120 mg/kg/day, and amikacin at 300 mg/kg/day), at 24 h there was an ∼1.7-log10 CFU/thigh reduction compared to the starting inoculum for all six isolates. Our results demonstrate that the polymyxin B-rifampin-amikacin combination significantly enhanced in vitro and in vivo bacterial killing, providing important information for the optimization of polymyxin-based combinations in patients.
