Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, continues to pose a significant threat to global health. The resilience of TB is amplified by a myriad of physical, biological, and biopharmaceutical barriers that challenge conventional therapeutic approaches. This review navigates the intricate landscape of TB treatment, from the stealth of latent infections and the strength of granuloma formations to the daunting specters of drug resistance and altered gene expression. Amidst these challenges, traditional therapies often fail, contending with inconsistent bioavailability, prolonged treatment regimens, and socioeconomic burdens. Nanoscale Drug Delivery Systems (NDDSs) emerge as a promising beacon, ready to overcome these barriers, offering better drug targeting and improved patient adherence. Through a critical approach, we evaluate a spectrum of nanosystems and their efficacy against MTB both in vitro and in vivo. This review advocates for the intensification of research in NDDSs, heralding their potential to reshape the contours of global TB treatment strategies.

Genetic and clinical predictors of rifapentine and isoniazid pharmacokinetics in paediatrics with tuberculosis infection. J Antimicrob Chemother 2024; 79:1270-1278. [PMID: 38661209 DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkae059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Twelve weekly doses of rifapentine and isoniazid (3HP regimen) are recommended for TB preventive therapy in children with TB infection. However, they present with variability in the pharmacokinetic profiles. The current study aimed to develop a pharmacokinetic model of rifapentine and isoniazid in 12 children with TB infection using NONMEM. METHODS Ninety plasma and 41 urine samples were collected at Week 4 of treatment. Drug concentrations were measured using a validated HPLC-UV method. MassARRAY® SNP genotyping was used to investigate genetic factors, including P-glycoprotein (ABCB1), solute carrier organic anion transporter B1 (SLCO1B1), arylacetamide deacetylase (AADAC) and N-acetyl transferase (NAT2). Clinically relevant covariates were also analysed. RESULTS A two-compartment model for isoniazid and a one-compartment model for rifapentine with transit compartment absorption and first-order elimination were the best models for describing plasma and urine data. The estimated (relative standard error, RSE) of isoniazid non-renal clearance was 3.52 L·h-1 (23.1%), 2.91 L·h-1 (19.6%), and 2.58 L·h-1 (20.0%) in NAT2 rapid, intermediate and slow acetylators. A significant proportion of the unchanged isoniazid was cleared renally (2.7 L·h-1; 8.0%), while the unchanged rifapentine was cleared primarily through non-renal routes (0.681 L·h-1; 3.6%). Participants with the ABCB1 mutant allele had lower bioavailability of rifapentine, while food prolonged the mean transit time of isoniazid. CONCLUSIONS ABCB1 mutant allele carriers may require higher rifapentine doses; however, this must be confirmed in larger trials. Food did not affect overall exposure to isoniazid and only delayed absorption time.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of high-dose isoniazid for the treatment of rifampicin- or multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Indonesia. J Antimicrob Chemother 2024; 79:977-986. [PMID: 38459759 PMCID: PMC11062943 DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkae057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacokinetic data on high-dose isoniazid for the treatment of rifampicin-/multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (RR/MDR-TB) are limited. We aimed to describe the pharmacokinetics of high-dose isoniazid, estimate exposure target attainment, identify predictors of exposures, and explore exposure-response relationships in RR/MDR-TB patients. METHODS We performed an observational pharmacokinetic study, with exploratory pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses, in Indonesian adults aged 18-65 years treated for pulmonary RR/MDR-TB with standardized regimens containing high-dose isoniazid (10-15 mg/kg/day) for 9-11 months. Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was performed after ≥2 weeks of treatment. Total plasma drug exposure (AUC0-24) and peak concentration (Cmax) were assessed using non-compartmental analyses. AUC0-24/MIC ratio of 85 and Cmax/MIC ratio of 17.5 were used as exposure targets. Multivariable linear and logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of drug exposures and responses, respectively. RESULTS We consecutively enrolled 40 patients (median age 37.5 years). The geometric mean isoniazid AUC0-24 and Cmax were 35.4 h·mg/L and 8.5 mg/L, respectively. Lower AUC0-24 and Cmax values were associated (P < 0.05) with non-slow acetylator phenotype, and lower Cmax values were associated with male sex. Of the 26 patients with MIC data, less than 25% achieved the proposed targets for isoniazid AUC0-24/MIC (n = 6/26) and Cmax/MIC (n = 5/26). Lower isoniazid AUC0-24 values were associated with delayed sputum culture conversion (>2 months of treatment) [adjusted OR 0.18 (95% CI 0.04-0.89)]. CONCLUSIONS Isoniazid exposures below targets were observed in most patients, and certain risk groups for low isoniazid exposures may require dose adjustment. The effect of low isoniazid exposures on delayed culture conversion deserves attention.

[PMID: 38634429 PMCID: PMC11024956 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Momelotinib-approved for treatment of myelofibrosis in adults with anemia-and its major active metabolite, M21, were assessed as drug-drug interaction (DDI) victims with a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitor (multiple-dose ritonavir), an organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1/1B3 inhibitor (single-dose rifampin), and a strong CYP3A4 inducer (multiple-dose rifampin). Momelotinib DDI perpetrator potential (multiple-dose) was evaluated with CYP3A4 and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrates (midazolam and rosuvastatin, respectively). DDI was assessed from changes in maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), time to reach Cmax, and half-life. The increase in momelotinib (23% Cmax, 14% AUC) or M21 (30% Cmax, 24% AUC) exposure with ritonavir coadministration was not clinically relevant. A moderate increase in momelotinib (40% Cmax, 57% AUC) and minimal change in M21 was observed with single-dose rifampin. A moderate decrease in momelotinib (29% Cmax, 46% AUC) and increase in M21 (31% Cmax, 15% AUC) were observed with multiple-dose rifampin compared with single-dose rifampin. Due to potentially counteracting effects of OATP1B1/1B3 inhibition and CYP3A4 induction, multiple-dose rifampin did not significantly change momelotinib pharmacokinetics compared with momelotinib alone (Cmax no change, 15% AUC decrease). Momelotinib did not alter the pharmacokinetics of midazolam (8% Cmax, 16% AUC decreases) or 1'-hydroxymidazolam (14% Cmax, 16% AUC decreases) but increased rosuvastatin Cmax by 220% and AUC by 170%. Safety findings were mild in this short-term study in healthy volunteers. This analysis suggests that momelotinib interactions with OATP1B1/1B3 inhibitors and BCRP substrates may warrant monitoring for adverse reactions or dose adjustments.

Abstract
The effect of acetylator status on the exposure to isoniazid in plasma and CSF in tuberculous meningitis (TBM) patients remains largely unexplored. Here, we describe isoniazid exposures and acetylator status of 48 subjects in the ReDEFINe study (NCT02169882). Fifty percentwere fast (half-life <130 min) or slow (half-life >130 min) acetylators. Slow acetylators had higher AUC0-24, Cmax and CSF concentrations than fast acetylators (GM AUC0-24 25.5 vs 10.6 mg/L*h, p < 0.001); plasma Cmax 5.5 vs 3.6 mg/L, p = 0.023; CSF concentration 1.9 vs 1.1 mg/L, p = 0.008). Higher isoniazid doses may benefit fast acetylators in TBM.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating innovative approaches for effective treatment. Conventional TB therapy encounters several limitations, including extended treatment duration, drug resistance, patient noncompliance, poor bioavailability, and suboptimal targeting. Advanced drug delivery strategies have emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges. They have the potential to enhance therapeutic outcomes and improve TB patient compliance by providing benefits such as multiple drug encapsulation, sustained release, targeted delivery, reduced dosing frequency, and minimal side effects. This review examines the current landscape of drug delivery strategies for effective TB management, specifically highlighting lipid nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, emulsion-based systems, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and hydrogels as promising approaches. Furthermore, emerging therapeutic strategies like targeted therapy, long-acting therapeutics, extrapulmonary therapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy are emphasized. The review also discusses the future trajectory and challenges of developing drug delivery systems for TB. In conclusion, nanomedicine has made substantial progress in addressing the challenges posed by conventional TB drugs. Moreover, by harnessing the unique targeting abilities, extended duration of action, and specificity of advanced therapeutics, innovative solutions are offered that have the potential to revolutionize TB therapy, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes and patient compliance.

Abstract
Mycobacterium spp. intimidated mankind since time immemorial. The triumph over this organism was anticipated with the introduction of potent antimicrobials in the mid-20th century. However, the emergence of drug resistance in mycobacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in particular, caused great concern for the treatment. With the enemy growing stronger, there is an immediate need to equip the therapeutic arsenal with novel and potent chemotherapeutic agents. The task seems intricating as our understanding of the dynamic nature of the mycobacteria requires intense experimentation and research. Targeting the mycobacterial cell envelope appears promising, but its versatility allows it to escape the lethal effect of the molecules acting on it. The unique ability of hiding (inactivity during latency) also assists the bacterium to survive in a drug-rich environment. The drug delivery systems also require upgradation to allow better bioavailability and tolerance in patients. Although the resistance to the novel drugs is inevitable, our commitment to the research in this area will ensure the discovery of effective weapons against this formidable opponent.

Abstract
Isoniazid pharmacokinetics are not yet well-described during once weekly, high-dose administrations with rifapentine (3HP) for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Fewer data describe 3HP with dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The only prior report of 3HP with dolutegravir reported elevated isoniazid exposures. We measured the plasma isoniazid levels in 30 adults receiving 3HP and dolutegravir for the treatment of LTBI and HIV. The patients were genotyped to determine NAT2 acetylator status, and a population PK model was estimated by nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. The results were compared to previously reported data describing 3HP with dolutegravir, 3HP alone, and isoniazid with neither dolutegravir nor rifapentine. The isoniazid concentrations were adequately described by a one compartment model with a transit compartment absorption process. The isoniazid clearance for slow (8.33 L/h) and intermediate (12 L/h) acetylators were similar to previously reported values. Rapid acetylators (N = 4) had clearance similar to those of intermediate acetylators and much slower than typically reported, but the small sample size was limiting. The absorption rate was lower than usual, likely due to the coadministration with food, and it was faster among individuals with a low body weight. Low-body weight participants were also observed to have greater oral bioavailability. The isoniazid exposures were consistent with, or greater than, the previously reported "elevated" concentrations among individuals receiving 3HP and dolutegravir. The concentrations were substantially greater than those presented in previous reports among individuals receiving 3HP or isoniazid without rifapentine or dolutegravir. We discuss the implications of these findings and the possibility of a drug-drug interaction that is mediated by cellular transport.

Pharmacokinetic study of high-dose oral rifampicin in critically Ill patients with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection. Daru 2022; 30:311-322. [PMID: 36069988 PMCID: PMC9715901 DOI: 10.1007/s40199-022-00449-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Although rifampicin (RIF) is used as a synergistic agent for multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) infection, the optimal pharmacokinetic (PK) indices of this medication have not been studied in the intensive care unit (ICU) settings. This study aimed to evaluate the PK of high dose oral RIF following fasting versus fed conditions in terms of achieving the therapeutic goals in critically ill patients with MDR-AB infections. METHODS 29 critically ill patients were included in this study. Under fasting and non-fasting conditions, RIF was given at 1200 mg once daily through a nasogastric tube. Blood samples were obtained at seven time points: exactly before administration of the drug, and at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h after RIF ingestion. To quantify RIF in serum samples, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used. The MONOLIX Software and the Monte Carlo simulations were employed to estimate the PK parameters and describe the population PK model. RESULTS The mean area under the curve over the last 24-h (AUC0-24) value and accuracy (mean ± standard deviation) in the fasting and fed states were 220.24 ± 119.15 and 290.55 ± 276.20 μg × h/mL, respectively. There was no significant difference among AUCs following fasting and non-fasting conditions (P > 0.05). The probability of reaching the therapeutic goals at the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 4 mg/L, was only 1.6%. CONCLUSION In critically ill patients with MDR-AB infections, neither fasting nor non-fasting administrations of high-dose oral RIF achieve the therapeutic aims. More research is needed in larger populations and with measuring the amount of protein-unbound RIF levels.

Pharmacokinetics of isoniazid and rifapentine in young paediatric patients with latent tuberculosis infection. Int J Infect Dis 2022; 122:725-732. [PMID: 35868608 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2022.07.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the steady-state pharmacokinetic profiles of 3-month weekly rifapentine plus isoniazid (3HP) in children with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Factors including tablet integrity, food, and pharmacogenetics were also assessed. METHODS During the 3HP treatment, blood and urine samples were collected on week 4. Isoniazid and rifapentine levels were measured using a high-performance liquid chromatography technique. Genetic variation of arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) and arylacetamide deacetylase (AADAC) were assessed by the MassARRAY®. Safety and clinical outcomes at week 48 were monitored. RESULTS Twelve LTBI children [age 3.8 (range 2.1-4.9 years old)] completed the treatment [isoniazid and rifapentine dose 25.0 (range 21.7-26.8) and 25.7 (range 20.7-32.1) mg/kg, respectively]. No serious adverse events or active tuberculosis occurred. Tablet integrity was associated with decreased area under the concentration-time curve (91 vs 73 mg.hr/L, p = 0.026) and increased apparent oral clearance of isoniazid (0.27 vs 0.32 L/hr/kg, p = 0.019) and decreased rifapentine's renal clearance (CLR, 0.005 vs 0.003 L/hr, p = 0.014). Food was associated with increased CLR of isoniazid (3.45 vs 8.95 L/hr, p = 0.006) but not rifapentine. Variability in NAT2 and AADAC did not affect the pharmacokinetics of both drugs. CONCLUSIONS There is high variability in the pharmacokinetic profiles of isoniazid and rifapentine in young LTBI children. The variability was partly influenced by tablet integrity and food, but not pharmacogenetics. Further study in a larger cohort is warranted to display the relationship of these factors to treatment outcomes.

Population Pharmacokinetic Modelling and Limited Sampling Strategies for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Pyrazinamide in Patients with Tuberculosis. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2022; 66:e0000322. [PMID: 35727060 DOI: 10.1128/aac.00003-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Pyrazinamide is one of the first-line antituberculosis drugs. The efficacy of pyrazinamide is associated with the ratio of 24-h area under the concentration-time curve (AUC24) to MIC. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a limited sampling strategy (LSS) based on a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model to predict AUC24. A popPK model was developed using an iterative two-stage Bayesian procedure and was externally validated. Using data from 20 treatment-naive adult tuberculosis (TB) patients, a one compartment model with transit absorption and first-order elimination best described pyrazinamide pharmacokinetics and fed state was the only significant covariate for absorption rate constant (ka). External validation, using data from 26 TB patients, showed that the popPK model predicted AUC24 with a slight underestimation of 2.1%. LSS were calculated using Monte Carlo simulation (n = 10,000). External validation showed LSS with time points 0 h, 2 h, and 6 h performed best with RMSE of 9.90% and bias of 0.06%. Food slowed absorption of pyrazinamide, but did not affect bioavailability, which may be advantageous in case of nausea or vomiting in which food can be used to diminish these effects. In this study, we successfully developed and validated a popPK model and LSS, using 0 h, 2 h, and 6 h postdose samples, that could be used to perform therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of pyrazinamide in TB patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Optimal drug dosing is important to ensure adequate response to treatment, prevent development of drug resistance and reduce drug toxicity. The aim of these clinical standards is to provide guidance on 'best practice´ for dosing and management of TB drugs.METHODS: A panel of 57 global experts in the fields of microbiology, pharmacology and TB care were identified; 51 participated in a Delphi process. A 5-point Likert scale was used to score draft standards. The final document represents the broad consensus and was approved by all participants.RESULTS: Six clinical standards were defined: Standard 1, defining the most appropriate initial dose for TB treatment; Standard 2, identifying patients who may be at risk of sub-optimal drug exposure; Standard 3, identifying patients at risk of developing drug-related toxicity and how best to manage this risk; Standard 4, identifying patients who can benefit from therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM); Standard 5, highlighting education and counselling that should be provided to people initiating TB treatment; and Standard 6, providing essential education for healthcare professionals. In addition, consensus research priorities were identified.CONCLUSION: This is the first consensus-based Clinical Standards for the dosing and management of TB drugs to guide clinicians and programme managers in planning and implementation of locally appropriate measures for optimal person-centred treatment to improve patient care.

Abstract
The focus of this research was to understand the effects of formulation and processing variables on the very-rapidly dissolving printlets of isoniazid (INH) manufactured by the selective laser sintering (SLS) three-dimensional (3D) printing method, and to characterize their physicochemical properties, stability, and pharmacokinetics. Fifteen printlet formulations were manufactured by varying the laser scanning speed (400-500 mm/s, X1), surface temperature (100-110 °C, X2), and croscarmellose sodium (CCS, %, X3), and the responses measured were weight (Y1), hardness (Y2), disintegration time (DT, Y3), and dissolution (Y4). Laser scanning was the most important processing factor affecting the responses. DT was very rapid (≥3 s), and dissolution (>99%) was completed within 3 min. The root-mean-square error in the studied responses was low and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was statistically significant (p < 0.05). X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) images showed very porous structures with 24.6-34.4% porosity. X-ray powder diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry data indicated partial conversion of the crystalline drug into an amorphous form. The printlets were stable at 40 °C/75% RH with no significant changes in assay and dissolution. Pharmacokinetic profiles of the printlets and compressed tablets were superimposable. In conclusion, the rapidly dissolving printlets of the INH were stable, and oral bioavailability was similar to that of compositionally identical compressed tablets.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ethambutol (EMB) is a first-line anti-tubercular drug that is known to cause optic neuropathy. The exact mechanism of its eye toxicity is unknown; however, proposition is metal chelating effect of both EMB and its metabolite 2,2'-(ethylenediamino)-dibutyric acid (EDBA). The latter is formed by sequential metabolism of EMB by alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) and aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). The purpose of this study was to predict the levels of drug and EDBA in the eye using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. METHODS The PBPK model of EMB was developed using GastroPlus. The intrinsic hepatic clearance of ALDH, calculated by the model, was scaled down using proteomics data to estimate the rate of formation of EDBA in the eye. Additionally, the comparative permeability of EMB and EDBA was assessed by employing in silico and in vitro approaches. The rate of formation of EDBA in the eye and permeability data were then incorporated in a compartmental model to predict the ocular levels of EMB and EDBA. RESULTS The simulation results of compartmental model highlighted that there was an on-site formation of EDBA upon metabolism of EMB. Furthermore, in silico and in vitro studies revealed that EDBA possessed much lower permeability than EMB. These observations meant that once EDBA was formed in the eye, it was not permeated out and hence achieved higher ocular concentration. CONCLUSION The on-site formation of EDBA in the eye, its higher local concentration due to lower ocular clearance and its pre-known characteristic to chelate metal species better explains the ocular toxicity shown by EMB.

Abstract
A single-dose, open-label, randomized-sequence, 2×2 crossover study was conducted in healthy Chinese adults, after fasting and postprandial, to evaluate the bioequivalence of 2 pyrazinamide (PZA) formulations. Fasting and postprandial tests were conducted in 24 cases. Test-reference and reference-test were randomly divided into 2 sequence groups, with 12 cases in each group. The concentration of PZA in plasma was determined after 0.5 g single oral PZA test and reference formulations by the high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. In the fasting group, the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the 2 formulations maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ), area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to last detectable plasma concentration, and AUC from time 0 to infinity after logarithmic conversion were 104.8% to 121.9%, 97.7% to 101.6%, and 97.7% to 101.6%, respectively. In the postprandial group, the 90%CIs of the 2 formulations' Cmax , AUC from time 0 to last detectable plasma concentration, and AUC from time 0 to infinity after logarithmic conversion were 86.4% to 100.2%, 96% to 102%, 95.8% to 102.3%, respectively. The 90%CIs of the test/reference Cmax ratio and AUC ratio were within the acceptable range of 80.00% to 125.00% for bioequivalence under both fasting and postprandial conditions. No serious adverse events occurred during treatment with the test formulation or the reference formulation.

LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of the first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs and six primary metabolites in patient plasma: Implications for therapeutic drug monitoring. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2021; 1185:122986. [PMID: 34688197 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2021.122986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
The pharmacokinetic profiling of drug substances and corresponding metabolites in the biological matrix is one of the most informative tools for the treatment efficacy assessment. Therefore, to satisfy the need for comprehensive monitoring of anti-tuberculosis drugs in human plasma, a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs (ethambutol, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and rifampicin) along with their six primary metabolites. Simple single-step protein precipitation with methanol was chosen as the most convenient sample pre-treatment method. Chromatographic separation of the ten analyte mixture was achieved within 10 minutes on a reverse-phase C8 column using mobile phase gradient mode. The multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) was used for analyte detection and quantification in patient samples. The chosen quantification ranges fully covered expected plasma concentrations. The method exhibited acceptable selectivity; the within- and between-run accuracy ranged from 87.2 to 113.6%, but within- and between-run precision was between 1.6 and 14.9% (at the LLOQ level CV < 20%). Although the response of the isonicotinic acid varied depending on the matrix source (CV 21.8%), validation results proved that such inconsistency does not affect the accuracy and precision of results. If stored at room temperature plasma samples should be processed within 4 h after collection, temporary storage at -20 °C up to 24 h is acceptable due to stability issues of analytes. The developed method was applied for the patient sample analysis (n = 34) receiving anti-tuberculosis treatment with the first-line drugs.

Abstract
Background Foods and the nutrients they contain can interact with drugs and thereby interfere with their therapeutic safety and efficacy. Adequate knowledge of healthcare professionals (HCPs) about drug-food interactions can help in preventing potential drug-food interactions among patients. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of HCPs about common drug-food interactions. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out among 459 HCPs from three public hospitals in eThekwini district, KwaZulu-Natal between November 2018, and January 2019. Informed consent was obtained from the HCPs, and a structured questionnaire was thereafter administered. Data were analysed using SPSS® version 25. Factors associated with knowledge of the HCPs were determined using logistic regression analysis. Results Of the 459 participants, 22.2% (n = 102) were doctors, 11.3% (n = 52) pharmacists, 63.8% (n = 293) nurses and 2.6% (n = 12) dietitians. Most of the HCPs were females 79.7% (n = 366), the mean age of the HCPs was 38.61±0.48. The knowledge score of the HCPs was 22.66±0.25 out of an overall score of 46. The HCPs poorly identified food types that interact with drugs and correct administration time of drugs relative to meals. Being a pharmacist (OR: 14.212, CI: 4.941–40.879, p<0.001), doctor (OR: 5.223, CI: 2.146–12.711, p<0.001), or a dietitian (OR: 5.476, CI: 1.103–27.191, p = 0.038) was associated with higher knowledge of drug-food interactions. Conclusion The HCPs in this survey had low drug-food interaction knowledge. These findings suggest the need for additional training and educational courses for the HCPs on drug-food interactions.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is still the number one cause of death due to an infectious disease. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anti-TB drugs are key in the optimization of TB treatment and help to prevent slow response to treatment, acquired drug resistance, and adverse drug effects. The aim of this review was to provide an update on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anti-TB drugs and to show how population pharmacokinetics and Bayesian dose adjustment can be used to optimize treatment. We cover aspects on preclinical, clinical, and population pharmacokinetics of different drugs used for drug-susceptible TB and multidrug-resistant TB. Moreover, we include available data to support therapeutic drug monitoring of these drugs and known pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic targets that can be used for optimization of therapy. We have identified a wide range of population pharmacokinetic models for first- and second-line drugs used for TB, which included models built on NONMEM, Pmetrics, ADAPT, MWPharm, Monolix, Phoenix, and NPEM2 software. The first population models were built for isoniazid and rifampicin; however, in recent years, more data have emerged for both new anti-TB drugs, but also for defining targets of older anti-TB drugs. Since the introduction of therapeutic drug monitoring for TB over 3 decades ago, further development of therapeutic drug monitoring in TB next steps will again depend on academic and clinical initiatives. We recommend close collaboration between researchers and the World Health Organization to provide important guideline updates regarding therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics.

Pretomanid Pharmacokinetics in the Presence of Rifamycins: Interim Results from a Randomized Trial among Patients with Tuberculosis. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2021; 65:AAC.01196-20. [PMID: 33229425 PMCID: PMC7849006 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01196-20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Shorter, more potent regimens are needed for tuberculosis. The nitroimidazole pretomanid was recently approved for extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in combination with bedaquiline and linezolid. Pretomanid may also have benefit as a treatment-shortening agent for drug-sensitive tuberculosis. It is unclear how and whether it can be used together with rifamycins, which are key sterilizing first-line drugs. In this analysis, data were pooled from two studies: the Assessing Pretomanid for Tuberculosis (APT) trial, in which patients with drug-sensitive pulmonary TB received pretomanid, isoniazid, and pyrazinamide plus either rifampin or rifabutin versus standard of care under fed conditions, and the AIDS Clinical Trials Group 5306 (A5306) trial, a phase I study in healthy volunteers receiving pretomanid alone or in combination with rifampin under fasting conditions. In our population pharmacokinetic (PK) model, participants taking rifampin had 44.4 and 59.3% reductions in pretomanid AUC (area under the concentration-time curve) compared to those taking rifabutin or pretomanid alone (due to 80 or 146% faster clearance) in the APT and A5306 trials, respectively. Median maximum concentrations (Cmax) in the rifampin and rifabutin arms were 2.14 and 3.35 mg/liter, while median AUC0-24 values were 30.1 and 59.5 mg·h/liter, respectively. Though pretomanid exposure in APT was significantly reduced with rifampin, AUC0-24 values were similar to those associated with effective treatment in registrational trials, likely because APT participants were fed with dosing, enhancing pretomanid relative bioavailability and exposures. Pretomanid concentrations with rifabutin were high but in range with prior observations. While pretomanid exposures with rifampin are unlikely to impair efficacy, our data suggest that pretomanid should be taken with food if prescribed with rifampin. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT02256696.).

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the effect of interval between food intake and drug administration at fasting condition on the plasma concentrations of first-line anti- tuberculosis (TB) drugs in Chinese population. Newly diagnosed TB patients administered the anti-TB drugs under fasting conditions orally, and then had prepared breakfast at 30 minutes and 120 min after dosing, respectively. Blood sampling was also performed 120 minutes after dosing for the detection of Cmax purpose. Overall, twenty-five participants were included in our analysis. The Cmaxs of 30 minutes interval and 120 minutes interval were 21.8 ± 2.0 and 19.2 ± 2.0 μg/mL for rifampin, 1.6 ± 0.2 and 2.1 ± 0.2 μg/mL for isoniazid (INH), 1.5 ± 0.1and 1.5 ± 0.2 μg/mL for ethambutol (EMB), and 49.2 ± 3.7 and 41.5 ± 3.9 μg/mL for pyrazinamide, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that there was no statistical difference between 2 groups. Additionally, 88.0% and 72.0% of the 25 participants at 2-hour interval group had peak concentrations less than the lower limit of the reference range for INH and EMB, respectively. The Cmaxs of INH were 0.9 ± 0.4 μg/ml for rapid acetylator, which was significantly lower than those of intermediate (1.4 ± 1.0 μg/mL), and slow acetylator (2.5 ± 1.0 μg/mL), respectively (P < .01). In conclusion, our data demonstrate that early food intake at 30 minutes after drug administration had no significant influence on the plasma concentrations. In addition, a high proportion of patients receiving first-line anti-TB regimen fail to achieve the expected plasma drug ranges of INH and EMB (P > .05).

Abstract
Many orally administered drugs with negative food effects (i.e., lower exposure under fed conditions) are often primarily or partially eliminated by biliary excretion. The aim of this study is to assess the potential correlation between a negative food effect and biliary excretion. Correlation analysis was conducted using a training dataset containing 27 drugs which met the following criteria: (1) immediate-release formulations, (2) shows a negative food effect, (3) > 10% biliary clearance, and (4) does not undergo extensive metabolism. A correlation between fed-state biliary clearance (CLb,fed) and fasted-state biliary clearance (CLb,fast) (y = 1.81*x, R2 = 0.68) was observed. The 1.8-fold increase in biliary clearance was then used as a correction factor to improve physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) prediction of food effects for 12 test drugs. The mean deviations of predicted fed/fasting AUC ratio and Cmax ratio from clinically observed values were reduced from 32.4 to 17.2% and from 63.3 to 54.3%, respectively. In contrast to the positive food effects on most biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) class II drugs for which food-stimulated bile flow increases drug solubility and absorption, our results suggest that the elimination of biliary excreted drugs is increased by food-stimulated bile flow, resulting in negative food effects.

Abstract
Background The 24-h area under the concentration–time curve (AUC24)/minimal inhibitory concentration ratio is the best predictive pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameter of the efficacy of first-line anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs. An optimal sampling strategy (OSS) is useful for accurately estimating AUC24; however, OSS has not been developed in the fed state or in the early phase of treatment for first-line anti-TB drugs. Methods An OSS for the prediction of AUC24 of isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide was developed for TB patients starting treatment. A prospective, randomized, crossover trial was performed during the first 3 days of treatment in which first-line anti-TB drugs were administered either intravenously or in fasting or fed conditions. The PK data were used to develop OSS with best subset selection multiple linear regression. The OSS was internally validated using a jackknife analysis and externally validated with other patients from different ethnicities and in a steady state of treatment. Results OSS using time points of 2, 4 and 8 h post-dose performed best. Bias was < 5% and imprecision was < 15% for all drugs except ethambutol in the fed condition. External validation showed that OSS2-4-8 cannot be used for rifampicin in steady state conditions. Conclusion OSS at 2, 4 and 8 h post-dose enabled an accurate and precise prediction of AUC24 values of first-line anti-TB drugs in this population.

Abstract
The introduction of rifampicin (rifampin) into tuberculosis (TB) treatment five decades ago was critical for shortening the treatment duration for patients with pulmonary TB to 6 months when combined with pyrazinamide in the first 2 months. Resistance or hypersensitivity to rifampicin effectively condemns a patient to prolonged, less effective, more toxic, and expensive regimens. Because of cost and fears of toxicity, rifampicin was introduced at an oral daily dose of 600 mg (8-12 mg/kg body weight). At this dose, clinical trials in 1970s found cure rates of ≥ 95% and relapse rates of < 5%. However, recent papers report lower cure rates that might be the consequence of increased emergence of resistance. Several lines of evidence suggest that higher rifampicin doses, if tolerated and safe, could shorten treatment duration even further. We conducted a narrative review of rifampicin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in adults across a range of doses and highlight variables that influence its pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics. Rifampicin exposure has considerable inter- and intra-individual variability that could be reduced by administration during fasting. Several factors including malnutrition, HIV infection, diabetes mellitus, dose size, pharmacogenetic polymorphisms, hepatic cirrhosis, and substandard medicinal products alter rifampicin exposure and/or efficacy. Renal impairment has no influence on rifampicin pharmacokinetics when dosed at 600 mg. Rifampicin maximum (peak) concentration (Cmax) > 8.2 μg/mL is an independent predictor of sterilizing activity and therapeutic drug monitoring at 2, 4, and 6 h post-dose may aid in optimizing dosing to achieve the recommended rifampicin concentration of ≥ 8 µg/mL. A higher rifampicin Cmax is required for severe forms TB such as TB meningitis, with Cmax ≥ 22 μg/mL and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to 6 h (AUC6) ≥ 70 μg·h/mL associated with reduced mortality. More studies are needed to confirm whether doses achieving exposures higher than the current standard dosage could translate into faster sputum conversion, higher cure rates, lower relapse rates, and less mortality. It is encouraging that daily rifampicin doses up to 35 mg/kg were found to be safe and well-tolerated over a period of 12 weeks. High-dose rifampicin should thus be considered in future studies when constructing potentially shorter regimens. The studies should be adequately powered to determine treatment outcomes and should include surrogate markers of efficacy such as Cmax/MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and AUC/MIC.

Abstract
Introduction Contrasting findings have been published regarding the effect of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on tuberculosis (TB) drug pharmacokinetics (PK). Objectives The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effect of HIV infection on the PK of the first-line TB drugs (FLDs) rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol by assessing all published literature. Methods Searches were performed in MEDLINE (through PubMed) and EMBASE to find original studies evaluating the effect of HIV infection on the PK of FLDs. The included studies were assessed for bias and clinical relevance. PK data were extracted to provide insight into the difference of FLD PK between HIV-positive and HIV-negative TB patients. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement and its protocol was registered at PROSPERO (registration number CRD42017067250). Results Overall, 27 studies were eligible for inclusion. The available studies provide a heterogeneous dataset from which consistent results could not be obtained. In both HIV-positive and HIV-negative TB groups, rifampicin (13 of 15) and ethambutol (4 of 8) peak concentration (Cmax) often did not achieve the minimum reference values. More than half of the studies (11 of 20) that included both HIV-positive and HIV-negative TB groups showed statistically significantly altered FLD area under the concentration–time curve and/or Cmax for at least one FLD. Conclusions HIV infection may be one of several factors that reduce FLD exposure. We could not make general recommendations with respect to the role of dosing. There is a need for consistent and homogeneous studies to be conducted.

Determination of isoniazid acetylation patterns in tuberculosis patients receiving DOT therapy under the Revised National tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) in India. Saudi Pharm J 2020; 28:641-647.

Abstract
Monitoring of liver function tests is very important in patient receiving DOT therapy. There was no significance difference reported in the differential leucocytes count. We define mechanisms underlying the adverse drug reactions observed following DOTS. The plasma INH concentration was reported to be high in slow acetylation. Plasma INH concentration greater than the antimode are slow acetylator.
Isoniazid is the most commonly used drug for treatment of tuberculosis, and is administered individually or in combination with other drugs as standard first line therapy. Offsetting its efficacy, severe adverse effects, especially peripheral neuropathy and hepatotoxicity, are associated with isoniazid therapy, limiting its use in tuberculosis. Isoniazid is acetylated in vivo producing hydrazine and acetyl hydrazine, which are responsible for hepatotoxicity. Marked pharmacogenetic differences in acetylation have been reported among different population across the globe. This study evaluates isoniazid acetylation patterns in tuberculosis patients receiving DOT therapy under the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) in a specialized tuberculosis hospital in north India. Of 351 patients from whom samples were taken for biochemical analysis of adverse events, 36 were assessed for acetylation patterns. Blood samples were taken 1 h after administration of a 600 mg dose of isoniazid, and plasma concentrations of isoniazid were determined using a validated HPLC method. Of these 36 patients, 20 (55.56%) were slow acetylators and 16 (44.44%) were fast acetylators. Our results are consistent with those of an earlier study conducted in a different region of India. Most biochemical changes produced during long-term isoniazid therapy resolve after therapy is terminated.

Abstract
Background Poor response to TB therapy might be attributable to subtherapeutic levels in drug-compliant patients. Pharmacokinetic parameters can be affected by comorbidities or the interaction of drugs with food. Objectives This study aimed to determine the effect of food intake upon pharmacokinetics of rifampicin and isoniazid in a Peruvian population with TB. Methods Rifampicin and isoniazid levels were analysed at 2, 4 and 6 h after drug intake in both fasting and non-fasting states using LC-MS methods. Results Sixty patients participated in the study. The median rifampicin Cmax and AUC0-6 were higher during fasting than non-fasting: 7.02 versus 6.59 mg/L (P = 0.054) and 28.64 versus 24.31 mg·h/L (P = 0.002). There was a statistically significant delay overall of non-fasting Tmax compared with the fasting state Tmax (P = 0.005). In the multivariate analysis, besides the effect of fasting, Cmax for females was 20% higher than for males (P = 0.03). Concerning isoniazid, there were significant differences in the Cmax during non-fasting (median = 3.51 mg/L) compared with fasting (4.54 mg/L). The isoniazid dose received had an effect upon the isoniazid levels (1.26, P = 0.038). In the multivariate analysis, isoniazid exposure during fasting was found to be 14% higher than during non-fasting (CI = 1.02-1.28, P < 0.001). Neither radiological extent of the disease nor consumption of food with drug intake nor pharmacokinetics of rifampicin or isoniazid was associated with a poorer treatment outcome. Conclusions Rifampicin in particular and isoniazid pharmacokinetics were significantly affected by the intake of the drug with food between and within individuals.

Preclinical models to optimize treatment of tuberculous meningitis - A systematic review. Tuberculosis (Edinb) 2020; 122:101924.

Abstract
Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most devastating form of TB, resulting in death or neurological disability in up to 50% of patients affected. Treatment is similar to that of pulmonary TB, despite poor cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) penetration of the cornerstone anti-TB drug rifampicin. Considering TBM pathology, it is critical that optimal drug concentrations are reached in the meninges, brain and/or the surrounding CSF. These type of data are difficult to collect in TBM patients. This review aims to identify and describe a preclinical model representative for human TBM which can provide the indispensable data needed for future pharmacological characterization and prioritization of new TBM regimens in the clinical setting. We reviewed existing literature on treatment of TBM in preclinical models: only eight articles, all animal studies, could be identified. None of the animal models completely recapitulated human disease and in most of the animal studies key pharmacokinetic data were missing, making the comparison with human exposure and CNS distribution, and the study of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships impossible. Another 18 articles were identified using other bacteria to induce meningitis with treatment including anti-TB drugs (predominantly rifampicin, moxifloxacin and levofloxacin). Of these articles the pharmacokinetics, i.e. plasma exposure and CSF:plasma ratios, of TB drugs in meningitis could be evaluated. Exposures (except for levofloxacin) agreed with human exposures and also most CSF:plasma ratios agreed with ratios in humans. Considering the lack of an ideal preclinical pharmacological TBM model, we suggest a combination of 1. basic physicochemical drug data combined with 2. in vitro pharmacokinetic and efficacy data, 3. an animal model with adequate pharmacokinetic sampling, microdialysis or imaging of drug distribution, all as a base for 4. physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling to predict response to TB drugs in treatment of TBM.

Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacogenetics of Ethambutol in Adult Patients Coinfected with Tuberculosis and HIV. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2020; 64:AAC.01583-19.

Abstract
This study aimed to characterize the population pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of ethambutol in tuberculosis-HIV-coinfected adult patients. Ethambutol plasma concentrations, determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, in 63 patients receiving ethambutol as part of rifampin-based fixed-dose combination therapy for tuberculosis were analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. A one-compartment disposition model with first-order elimination and four transit compartments prior to first-order absorption was found to adequately describe the concentration-time profiles of ethambutol in plasma. Body weight was implemented as an allometric function on the clearance and volume parameters. Estimates of oral clearance and volume of distribution were 77.4 liters/h and 76.2 liters, respectively. A G/A mutation with regard to CYP1A2 2159 G>A was associated with a 50% reduction in relative bioavailability. Simulations revealed that doses of 30 mg/kg of body weight and 50 mg/kg for G/G and G/A carriers, respectively, would result in clinically adequate exposure. The results presented here suggest that CYP1A2 polymorphism affects ethambutol exposure in this population and that current treatment guidelines may result in underexposure in patients coinfected with tuberculosis and HIV. Based on simulations, a dose increase from15 to 20 mg/kg to 30 mg/kg is suggested. However, the 50-mg/kg dose required to reach therapeutic exposure in G/A carriers may be inappropriate due to the dose-dependent toxicity of ethambutol. Additional studies are required to further investigate CYP450 polymorphism effects on ethambutol pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Background:The therapeutic potency and efficacy of drugs can be affected by a patient’s dietary habit. The food composition and their nutritional value interact with drugs that lead to alteration of the therapeutic response of drugs in patients.Objective:This present review is an attempt to illustrate clinical reports of food-drug interaction. Further, it also highlights specific interaction mechanism(s) and the safety thereof.Methods:Through the search engine “Scopus”; literature on recent advances in food and drug interactions includes almost all therapeutic categories such as antimicrobials, antiviral, antifungal, antihistamines, anticoagulants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and drugs acting on the central nervous system and cardiovascular system.Results:Preclinical and clinical studies that have been conducted by various researchers affirm significant drug-food interactions across the various therapeutic categories of drugs. Preclinical studies have documented the effects of food, milk products, alcohols, fruit and vegetables on the drug absorption, metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters. The clinical studies on fruits/vegetables and drugs interactions report significant alteration in therapeutic response.Conclusion:Based on the preclinical and clinical reports, it can be concluded that the interaction of food with drug(s) significantly alters their therapeutic potential. The inputs from clinical practitioners to elucidate potential risk of food-drug interaction need to be intensified in order to prevent adverse clinical consequences.

Development and Evaluation of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Drug-Disease Models for Predicting Rifampicin Exposure in Tuberculosis and Cirrhosis Populations.

Abstract
The physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) approach facilitates the construction of novel drug–disease models by allowing incorporation of relevant pathophysiological changes. The aim of the present work was to explore and identify the differences in rifampicin pharmacokinetics (PK) after the application of its single dose in healthy and diseased populations by using PBPK drug–disease models. The Simcyp® simulator was used as a platform for modeling and simulation. The model development process was initiated by predicting rifampicin PK in healthy population after intravenous (i.v) and oral administration. Subsequent to successful evaluation in healthy population, the pathophysiological changes in tuberculosis and cirrhosis population were incorporated into the developed model for predicting rifampicin PK in these populations. The model evaluation was performed by using visual predictive checks and the comparison of mean observed/predicted ratios (ratio(Obs/pred)) of the PK parameters. The predicted PK parameters in the healthy population were in adequate harmony with the reported clinical data. The incorporation of pathophysiological changes in albumin concentration in the tuberculosis population revealed improved prediction of clearance. The developed PBPK drug–disease models have efficiently described rifampicin PK in tuberculosis and cirrhosis populations after administering single drug dose, as the ratio(Obs/pred) for all the PK parameters were within a two-fold error range. The mechanistic nature of the developed PBPK models may facilitate their extension to other diseases and drugs.

Abstract
Several new discoveries over the past decade have shown that metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic disorders, including increased visceral obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia and low HDL-cholesterol, is commonly associated with skeletal muscle insulin resistance. More recently, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was recognized as an additional condition that is strongly associated with features of metabolic syndrome. While the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle insulin resistance and fatty liver is multifactorial, the role of dysregulated redox signaling has been clearly demonstrated in the regulation of skeletal muscle insulin resistance and NAFLD. In this review, we aim to provide recent updates on redox regulation with respect to (a) pro-oxidant enzymes (e.g. NAPDH oxidase and xanthine oxidase); (b) mitochondrial dysfunction; (c) endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress; (d) iron metabolism derangements; and (e) gut-skeletal muscle or gut-liver connection in the development of skeletal muscle insulin resistance and NAFLD. Furthermore, we discuss promising new therapeutic strategies targeting redox regulation currently under investigation for the treatment of skeletal muscle insulin resistance and NAFLD.

Exposure of Infants to Isoniazid via Breast Milk After Maternal Drug Intake of Recommended Doses Is Clinically Insignificant Irrespective of Metaboliser Status. A Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modelling Approach to Estimate Drug Exposure of Infants via Breast-Feeding. Front Pharmacol 2019; 10:5.

Abstract
Isoniazid is a first-line anti-tuberculosis drug recommended for treatment of drug-susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections. Breast-feeding is not contra-indicated while undergoing isoniazid therapy, even though isoniazid was found to migrate into breast milk, leading to infant drug exposure. Exposure assessment of isoniazid in infants exposed to the drug via breast milk has so far not accounted for the polymorphic expression of the isoniazid metabolising enzyme N-acetyltransferase 2. The aim of this study was to re-visit the safety assessment of maternal isoniazid therapy for infants exposed to the drug via breast milk, while accounting for fast and slow metabolisers in the adult and infant population, as well as for slower metabolism in small infants than in adults. We applied a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling approach to estimate mother and infant external and internal drug exposure non-invasively. Validity of our PBPK models was confirmed through comparison of simulated results with experimental data. Highest recommended oral doses for mothers are daily 300 mg or 900 mg every 3 days. Simulation of maternal intake of 300 mg resulted in oral exposures of 0.58 (95%CI: 0.42–0.69) mg/day and 1.49 (1.22–1.50) mg/day for infants of fast and slow metabolising mothers, respectively. Oral exposures of infants within the first 24 h after maternal intake of 900 mg were 1.75 (1.25–2.06) mg/day and 4.46 (4.00–4.50) mg/day. Maximal drug concentrations in infant plasma ranged between 0.04 and 0.78 mg/L for the two dosing regimens. We therefore conclude that infant exposure to isoniazid via breast milk after maternal drug intake of highest recommended doses is very low. We expect that such low exposure levels most likely do not cause any clinically significant adverse effects in nursed infants.

Abstract
Clinical trials and practice have shown that ethambutol is an important component of the first-line tuberculosis (TB) regime. This contrasts the drug's rather modest potency and lack of activity against nongrowing persister mycobacteria. The standard plasma-based pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic profile of ethambutol suggests that the drug may be of limited clinical value. Here, we hypothesized that this apparent contradiction may be explained by favorable penetration of the drug into TB lesions. First, we utilized novel in vitro lesion pharmacokinetic assays and predicted good penetration of the drug into lesions. We then employed mass spectrometry imaging and laser capture microdissection coupled to liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LCM and LC/MS-MS, respectively) to show that ethambutol, indeed, accumulates in diseased tissues and penetrates the major human-like lesion types represented in the rabbit model of TB disease with a lesion-to-plasma exposure ratio ranging from 9 to 12. In addition, ethambutol exhibits slow but sustained passive diffusion into caseum to reach concentrations markedly higher than those measured in plasma at steady state. The results explain why ethambutol has retained its place in the first-line regimen, validate our in vitro lesion penetration assays, and demonstrate the critical importance of effective lesion penetration for anti-TB drugs. Our findings suggest that in vitro and in vivo lesion penetration evaluation should be included in TB drug discovery programs. Finally, this is the first time that LCM with LC-MS/MS has been used to quantify a small molecule at high spatial resolution in infected tissues, a method that can easily be extended to other infectious diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inter-individual variations in the pharmacokinetics (PK) of anti-TB drugs are known to occur, which could have important therapeutic implications in patient management. Areas covered: We compiled factors responsible for PK variability of anti-TB drugs reported from different settings that would give a better understanding about the challenges of PK variability of anti-TB medications. We searched PubMed data base and Google scholar from 1976 to the present using the key words 'Pharmacokinetics', 'pharmacokinetic variability', 'first-line anti-TB therapy', 'Rifampicin', 'Isoniazid', 'Ethambutol', 'Pyrazinamide', 'food', 'nutritional status', 'HIV', 'diabetes', 'genetic polymorphisms' and 'pharmacokinetic interactions'. We also included abstracts from scientific meetings and review articles. Expert commentary: A variety of host and genetic factors can cause inter-individual variations in the PK of anti-TB drugs. PK studies conducted in various settings have adopted different designs, PK sampling time points, drug estimation methodologies. Hence comparison and interpretation of these results should be done with caution More phamacogenomic studies in different patient populations are needed for further understanding.
