Pharmacokinetics and toxicity of subcutaneous administration of carboplatin in poloxamer 407 in a rodent model pilot study.

ABSTRACT: The objectives of this study were to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of subcutaneously delivered carboplatin in poloxamer 407 in rats. Carboplatin (5mg/rat) in 0.5ml poloxamer 407 (1.0 ml total volume) was administered subcutaneously in a right subcutaneous perineal incision in all 12 treatment rats. Three control rats received 1.0 ml of poloxamer 407. Total platinum was measured in plasma q24hrs from 0 to 168hrs. Protein-unbound platinum was measured in plasma at 168hrs. After sacrifice on day 7, total platinum was determined in wound bed muscle. Platinum concentrations in all samples were measured by ICP-MS. Wounds were visually assessed daily for 7 days. Perineal tissues (full wound bed including muscle, subcutis, skin) were assessed histologically and scored. Total platinum was detectable in plasma from 24 to 168 hrs. Total plasma platinum AUC and Cmax were 9,165.3 ng/mL•h and 129.4 ng/mL. Day 7 total platinum concentration in muscle was approximately 10-fold higher than total plasma platinum concentration. No unbound platinum was detected in plasma samples at 168 hours. No wound healing complications were detected at any time point, nor was tissue necrosis observed histologically. The results of this study suggest that subcutaneous carboplatin in poloxamer 407 can be used in vivo providing direct tissue exposure to carboplatin without significant local effects or systemic absorption and without wound healing complications.

Project description:Background and objectiveDexmedetomidine is a potent agonist of α2-adrenoceptors causing dose-dependent sedation in humans. Intravenous dexmedetomidine is commonly used perioperatively, but an extravascular route of administration would be favoured in palliative care. Subcutaneous infusions provide desired therapeutic plasma concentrations with fewer unwanted effects as compared with intravenous dosing. We aimed to develop semi-mechanistic population models for predicting pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of dexmedetomidine after intravenous and subcutaneous dosing.MethodsNon-linear mixed-effects modelling was performed using previously collected concentration and haemodynamic effects data from ten (eight in the intravenous phase) healthy human subjects, aged 19-27 years, receiving 1 µg/kg of intravenous or subcutaneous dexmedetomidine during a 10-min infusion.ResultsThe absorption of dexmedetomidine from the subcutaneous injection site, and distribution to local subcutaneous fat tissue was modelled using a semi-physiological approach consisting of a depot and fat compartment, while a two-compartment mammillary model explained further disposition. Dexmedetomidine-induced reductions in plasma norepinephrine concentrations were accurately described by an indirect response model. For blood pressure models, the net effect was specified as hyper- and hypotensive effects of dexmedetomidine due to vasoconstriction on peripheral arteries and sympatholysis mediated via the central nervous system, respectively. A heart rate model combined the dexmedetomidine-induced sympatholytic effect, and input from the central nervous system, predicted from arterial blood pressure levels. Internal evaluation confirmed the predictive performance of the final models, as well as the accuracy of the parameter estimates with narrow confidence intervals.ConclusionsOur final model precisely describes dexmedetomidine pharmacokinetics and accurately predicts dexmedetomidine-induced sympatholysis and other pharmacodynamic effects. After subcutaneous dosing, dexmedetomidine is taken up into subcutaneous fat tissue, but our simulations indicate that accumulation of dexmedetomidine in this compartment is insignificant.
