Transport vs. Metabolism: What Determines the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Drugs? Insights From the Extended Clearance Model.

ABSTRACT: The well-stirred hepatic clearance model (WSHM) has been expanded to include drug transporters (i.e., extended clearance model [ECM]). However, the consequences of this expansion in understanding when transporters vs. metabolic enzymes will affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) of drugs remains opaque. Identifying the rate-determining step(s) in systemic or tissue drug PK/PD will allow accurate predictions of drug PK/PD and drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Here, we clarify the implications of the ECM on PK/PD of drugs.

Project description:Background and objectivesInfection is the most common cause of death in severe AKI, but many patients receiving continuous RRT do not reach target antibiotic concentrations in plasma. Extended infusion of β-lactams is associated with improved target attainment in critically ill patients; thus, we hypothesized that extended infusion piperacillin-tazobactam would improve piperacillin target attainment compared with short infusion in patients receiving continuous RRT.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe conducted an institutional review board-approved observational cohort study of piperacillin-tazobactam pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in critically ill patients receiving continuous venovenous hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration at three tertiary care hospitals between 2007 and 2015. Antibiotic concentrations in blood and/or dialysate samples were measured by liquid chromatography, and one- and two-compartment pharmacokinetic models were fitted to the data using nonlinear mixed effects regression. Target attainment for piperacillin was defined as achieving four times the minimum inhibitory concentration of 16 μg/ml for >50% of the dosing cycle. The probabilities of target attainment for a range of doses, frequencies, and infusion durations were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation method. Target attainment was also examined as a function of patient weight and continuous RRT effluent rate.ResultsSixty-eight participants had data for analysis. Regardless of infusion duration, 6 g/d piperacillin was associated with ≤45% target attainment, whereas 12 g/d was associated with ≥95% target attainment. For 8 and 9 g/d, target attainment ranged between 68% and 85%. The probability of target attainment was lower at higher effluent rates and patient weights. For all doses, frequencies, patient weights, and continuous RRT effluent rates, extended infusion was associated with higher probability of target attainment compared with short infusion.ConclusionsExtended infusions of piperacillin-tazobactam are associated with greater probability of target attainment in patients receiving continuous RRT.
