Abstract
Cefuroxime is widely used as antibiotic prophylaxis for orthopaedic procedures. We evaluated bone, subcutaneous tissue (SCT) and plasma pharmacokinetics of cefuroxime in male patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) after both traditional short-term infusion (STI) and continuous infusion (CI). Eighteen male patients undergoing TKR were randomly assigned to STI or CI of 1.5 g of cefuroxime. Measurements were obtained in plasma, SCT, cancellous and cortical bone every 30 min for 8 h following surgery. For sampling in solid tissues, microdialysis was applied. Population pharmacokinetic modelling was performed in order to estimate pharmacokinetic parameters, and to assess the probability of attaining cefuroxime concentrations above clinically relevant minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for 65% and 90% of the 8 h dosing interval. Low SCT and cortical bone penetration were found in both the STI and the CI group, but the findings were only significant in the STI group. Irrespective of MIC, tissue and target, CI leads to improved probability of attaining relevant pharmacokinetic targets compared with STI. For the Staphylococcus aureus MIC breakpoint (4 μg/mL), STI leads to inadequate probability of target attainment. CI of 1.5 g of cefuroxime leads to improved probability of attaining relevant pharmacokinetic targets in male TKR patients compared with traditional STI. These findings suggest that application of CI may improve antibiotic prophylaxis for male TKR patients.

Population pharmacokinetic modeling to establish the role of P-glycoprotein on ciprofloxacin distribution to lung and prostate following intravenous and intratracheal administration to Wistar rats. Eur J Pharm Sci 2018; 127:319-329.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is indicated for clinical treatment of urinary and respiratory tract infections. Poor infection site penetration and consequent insufficient exposure to the antimicrobial agent may be the reason for some therapeutic failures. Ciprofloxacin is reported as a substrate for efflux transporters, such as P-glycoprotein, which could be related to the presence of sub-therapeutic drug concentration at the infection site. In the present work we evaluated CIP pharmacokinetics (PK) in plasma and lung and prostate tissues of Wistar rats after intravenous (i.v.) and intratracheal (i.t.) dosing (7 mg/Kg) in the presence and absence of P-gp inhibitor tariquidar (TAR, 15 mg/Kg). Microdialysis was applied to determine free tissue concentration-time profiles and the obtained data were analyzed by non-compartmental and population PK (popPK) analysis. A sequential strategy was used to develop the popPK model: characterization of CIP PK in tissues (Tissue model) was performed subsequently to CIP PK modeling in plasma (Plasma model). Two and three compartmental models were used to simultaneously characterize plasma concentrations after i.t. and i.v. dosing; the distribution model was developed by separating the central compartment into venous and arterial compartment and by adding lung and prostate; TAR was identified as a significant covariate for clearance and volume of distribution of central compartment as well as for inter-compartmental clearance. Our results indicate an impact of P-gp on plasma PK, likely by acting on renal active secretion of CIP. Regarding CIP exposure in lung and prostate tissues, our results suggest a complex interplay between drug transporters; P-gp inhibition by TAR was likely counterbalanced by the activity of other efflux/influx transporters, which could not be fully characterized by our model.

Abstract
Major advances in carrier-mediated agents (CMAs), which include nanoparticles, nanosomes, and conjugates, have revolutionized drug delivery capabilities over the past decade. While providing numerous advantages, such as greater solubility, duration of exposure, and delivery to the site of action over their small molecule counterparts, there is substantial variability in systemic clearance and distribution, tumor delivery, and pharmacologic effects (efficacy and toxicity) of these agents. In this chapter, we focus on the analytical and phenotypic methods required to design a study that characterizes the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of all forms of these nanoparticle-based drug agents. These methods include separation of encapsulated and released drugs, ultrafiltration for measurement of non-protein bound active drug, microdialysis to measure intra-tumor drug concentrations, immunomagnetic separation and flow cytometry for sorting cell types, and evaluation of spatial distribution of drug forms relative to tissue architecture by mass spectrometry imaging and immunohistochemistry.

Abstract
The relatively short half-lives of most β-lactams suggest that continuous infusion of these time-dependent antimicrobials may be favorable compared to short-term infusion. Nevertheless, only limited solid-tissue pharmacokinetic data are available to support this theory. In this study, we randomly assigned 12 pigs to receive cefuroxime as either a short-term or continuous infusion. Measurements of cefuroxime were obtained every 30 min in plasma, subcutaneous tissue, and bone. For the measurements in solid tissues, microdialysis was applied. A two-compartment population model was fitted separately to the drug concentration data for the different tissues using a nonlinear mixed-effects regression model. Estimates of the pharmacokinetic parameters and time with concentrations above the MIC were derived using Monte Carlo simulations. Except for subcutaneous tissue in the short-term infusion group, the tissue penetration was incomplete for all tissues. For short-term infusion, the tissue penetration ratios were 0.97 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.67 to 1.39), 0.61 (95% CI, 0.51 to 0.73), and 0.45 (95% CI, 0.36 to 0.56) for subcutaneous tissue, cancellous bone, and cortical bone, respectively. For continuous infusion, they were 0.53 (95% CI, 0.33 to 0.84), 0.38 (95% CI, 0.23 to 0.57), and 0.27 (95% CI, 0.13 to 0.48) for the same tissues, respectively. The absolute areas under the concentration-time curve were also lower in the continuous infusion group. Nevertheless, a significantly longer time with concentrations above the MIC was found for continuous infusion up until MICs of 4, 2, 2, and 0.5 μg/ml for plasma and the same three tissues mentioned above, respectively. For drugs with a short half-life, like cefuroxime, continuous infusion seems to be favorable compared to short-term infusion; however, incomplete tissue penetration and high MIC strains may jeopardize the continuous infusion approach.

Abstract
Traditionally, the pharmacokinetics of antimicrobials in bone have been investigated using bone biopsy specimens, but this approach suffers from considerable methodological limitations. Consequently, new methods are needed. The objectives of this study were to assess the feasibility of microdialysis (MD) for measuring cefuroxime in bone and to obtain pharmacokinetic profiles for the same drug in porcine cortical and cancellous bone. The measurements were conducted in bone wax sealed and unsealed drill holes in cortical bone and in drill holes in cancellous bone and in subcutaneous tissue. As a reference, the free and total plasma concentrations were also measured. The animals received a bolus of 1,500 mg cefuroxime over 30 min. No significant differences were found between the key pharmacokinetic parameters for sealed and unsealed drill holes in cortical bone. The mean ± standard error of the mean area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) values from 0 to 5 h were 6,013 ± 1,339, 3,222 ± 1086, 2,232 ± 635, and 952 ± 290 min · μg/ml for free plasma, subcutaneous tissue, cancellous bone, and cortical bone, respectively (P < 0.01, analysis of variance). The AUC for cortical bone was also significantly different from that for cancellous bone (P = 0.04). This heterogeneous tissue distribution was also reflected in other key pharmacokinetic parameters. This study validates MD as a suitable method for measuring cefuroxime in bone. Cefuroxime penetration was impaired for all tissues, and bone may not be considered one distinct compartment.

Abstract
Peptides are able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) through various mechanisms, opening new diagnostic and therapeutic avenues. However, their BBB transport data are scattered in the literature over different disciplines, using different methodologies reporting different influx or efflux aspects. Therefore, a comprehensive BBB peptide database (Brainpeps) was constructed to collect the BBB data available in the literature. Brainpeps currently contains BBB transport information with positive as well as negative results. The database is a useful tool to prioritize peptide choices for evaluating different BBB responses or studying quantitative structure-property (BBB behaviour) relationships of peptides. Because a multitude of methods have been used to assess the BBB behaviour of compounds, we classified these methods and their responses. Moreover, the relationships between the different BBB transport methods have been clarified and visualized.

Abstract
Daptomycin is approved for the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections, including diabetic wounds of the lower extremities, at a dose of 4 mg/kg of body weight once daily. For such localized tissue infections, drug concentrations in the interstitial space are an important determinant of successful therapy. In the diabetic population, peripheral arterial disease may limit antibiotic penetration into the target tissue. The objective of this study was to describe and compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of daptomycin in the interstitial fluid of soft tissues in diabetic and healthy volunteers by using in vivo microdialysis. Twelve subjects (six diabetic and six healthy) received a single 4-mg/kg dose of daptomycin intravenously. Samples of plasma and tissue were simultaneously collected over 24 h. Diabetic and healthy groups were matched in mean age (+/-10 years), gender ratio, mean weight (+/-10 kg), and creatinine clearance rate (+/-20 ml/min/1.73 m(2)). Pharmacokinetic parameters for plasma were similar between groups (P > 0.05). The mean peak drug concentrations +/- standard deviations in tissue were 4.3 +/- 3.3 microg/ml and 3.8 +/- 1.4 microg/ml for diabetic and healthy subjects, respectively. The degree of tissue penetration, defined as the ratio of the area under the free drug concentration-time curve for tissue to that for plasma, was 0.93 +/- 0.61 for diabetic subjects and 0.74 +/- 0.09 for healthy subjects (P = 0.46). Daptomycin at 4 mg/kg penetrated well into the soft tissue, reaching concentrations approximately 70 to 90% of those of the free drug in plasma. Moreover, these free, bioactive concentrations in tissue exceeded the MICs for staphylococci and streptococci over the 24-h dosing interval.
