Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Cefaclor in Healthy Korean Subjects.

ABSTRACT: The aims of this study were: (1) to perform population pharmacokinetic analysis of cefaclor in healthy Korean subjects, and (2) to investigate possible effects of various covariates on pharmacokinetic parameters of cefaclor. Although cefaclor belongs to the cephalosporin family antibiotic that has been used in various indications, there have been very few population studies on factors affecting its pharmacokinetics. Therefore, this study is very important in that effective therapy could be possible through a population pharmacokinetic study that explores effective covariates related to cefaclor pharmacokinetic diversity between individuals. Pharmacokinetic results of 48 subjects with physical and biochemical parameters were used for the population pharmacokinetic analysis of cefaclor. A one-compartment with lag-time and first-order absorption/elimination was constructed as a base model and extended to include covariates that could influence between-subject variability. Creatinine clearance and body weight significantly influenced systemic clearance and distribution volume of cefaclor. Cefaclor's final population pharmacokinetic model was validated and some of the population's pharmacokinetic diversity could be explained. Herein, we first describe the establishment of a population pharmacokinetic model of cefaclor for healthy Koreans that might be useful for customizing cefaclor or exploring additional covariates in patients.

Project description:PurposeHypertension and dyslipidemia are major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, and reduction of cardiovascular risks can be achieved by combining antihypertensive therapy with statins. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic interaction between telmisartan/amlodipine fixed dose combination and rosuvastatin in healthy Korean male volunteers.Patients and methodsAn open-label, two-cohort, multiple-dose, single-sequence crossover study was conducted in healthy male subjects. In Cohort 1, the subjects were administered one tablet of telmisartan/amlodipine 80 mg/5 mg once daily for 14 days with or without one tablet of rosuvastatin 20 mg once daily. In Cohort 2, the subjects were administered one tablet of rosuvastatin 20 mg once daily for 14 days with or without one tablet of telmisartan/amlodipine 80 mg/5 mg once daily. Serial blood samples were collected up to 24 hrs post-dose on the 9th and 14th days in Cohort 1 and on the 5th and 14th days in Cohort 2. Plasma drug concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters, including maximum plasma concentration at steady state (Cmax,ss) and area under the plasma concentration versus time curve over dosing interval (AUCτ,ss), were determined by non-compartmental analysis. The geometric least-square mean (GLSM) ratios and associated 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of log-transformed Cmax,ss and AUCτ,ss for separate or concurrent therapy were calculated to evaluate pharmacokinetic interactions.ResultsThirty-eight subjects from Cohort 1 and nineteen subjects from Cohort 2 completed the study. The GLSM ratios and 90% CIs of Cmax,ss and AUCτ,ss, were 0.9829 (0.8334-1.1590) and 1.0003 (0.9342-1.0710) for telmisartan; 0.9908 (0.9602-1.0223) and 1.0081 (0.9758-1.0413) for amlodipine; and 2.2762 (2.0113-2.5758) and 1.3261 (1.2385-1.4198) for rosuvastatin, respectively.ConclusionThe pharmacokinetic parameters of telmisartan/amlodipine, but not rosuvastatin, met the pharmacokinetic equivalent criteria. The increase in systemic exposure to rosuvastatin caused by telmisartan/amlodipine co-administration would not be clinically significant in practice. Nevertheless, an appropriately designed two-sequence crossover study is needed to confirm the results of this study.
