RESUMO
This study aims to define the penetration of ampicillin and sulbactam into prostate tissue, develop a prostatic pharmacokinetic model of each drug, and assess the appropriateness of ampicillin-sulbactam regimens for the treatment of prostatitis and the prophylaxis of postoperative infection, based on a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic simulation. Subjects were prostatic hyperplasia patients prophylactically receiving a 0.5-hour infusion of 1.5 g (1:0.5 g) or 3 g (2:1 g) ampicillin-sulbactam before transurethral resection of the prostate. Ampicillin and sulbactam concentrations in plasma and prostate tissue were measured. The prostate tissue/plasma ratios of both ampicillin and sulbactam were approximately 0.37 (area under the drug concentration-time curve), and penetration was similar. The prostatic population pharmacokinetic model, which included a covariate analysis, adequately predicted prostate tissue concentrations in our patient population. For therapeutic use, aiming for a bactericidal target of 50% of time above minimum inhibitory concentration (T > MIC) in prostate tissue, 3 g ampicillin-sulbactam 4 times daily achieved ≥90% expected probability against only Enterococcus faecalis in typical patients with a creatinine clearance (CLcr ) of 30 mL/min. For prophylactic use, aiming for a bacteriostatic target of 30% T > MIC, 3 g ampicillin-sulbactam 4 times daily achieved ≥90% expected probability of attaining the bacteriostatic target against E. faecalis and Proteus species when CLcr was 30 mL/min. Based on prostatic simulations, the present study provides helpful recommendations for the treatment of bacterial prostatitis and preoperative prophylaxis in prostatectomy.

Flomoxef is used to treat bacterial prostatitis; however, its prostatic pharmacokinetics have not been fully clarified. Flomoxef (500 or 1000 mg) was administered to patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (n = 54). After a 0.5-h infusion, venous blood samples were drawn at time points of 0.5-5 h, and prostate tissue samples were collected at time points of 0.5-1.5 h during transurethral resection of the prostate. The drug concentrations in plasma and prostate tissue were analyzed pharmacokinetically and used for a stochastic simulation to predict the probability of attaining pharmacodynamic target in prostate tissue. Showing dose linearity in the prostatic pharmacokinetics, flomoxef rapidly penetrated into prostate tissue, with a prostate/plasma ratio of 0.48-0.50 (maximum drug concentration) and 0.42-0.55 (area under the drug concentration-time curve). Against the tested populations of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Proteus species isolates, 0.5-h infusion of 1000 mg three times daily achieved a ≥90% expected probability of attaining the bactericidal target (70% of the time above the minimum inhibitory concentration [MIC]) in prostate tissue. The site-specific pharmacodynamic-based breakpoint (the highest MIC at which the target-attainment probability in prostate tissue was >90%) values were 0.25 mg/L (MIC for 90th percentile of E. coli and Klebsiella species) for 500 mg four times daily and 0.5 mg/L (MIC90 of Proteus species) for 1000 mg four times daily. These results help to fully characterize the prostatic pharmacokinetics of flomoxef, while also helping to rationalize and optimize the dosing regimens for prostatitis based on site-specific pharmacodynamic target attainment.

The present study examined the clinical pharmacokinetics of pazufloxacin in prostate tissue and estimated the probability of target attainment for tissue-specific pharmacodynamic goals related to treating prostatitis using various intravenous dosing regimens. Patients with prostatic hypertrophy received prophylactic infusions of pazufloxacin (500 mg, n = 23; 1000 mg, n = 25) for 0.5 h prior to transurethral prostate resection. Drug concentrations in plasma (0.5-5 h) and prostate tissue (0.5-1.5 h) were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography and used for subsequent noncompartmental and three-compartmental analysis. Monte Carlo simulation was performed to evaluate the probability of target attainment of a specific minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in prostate tissue: the proportion that achieved both area under the drug concentration over time curve (AUC)/MIC = 100 and maximum concentration (Cmax)/MIC = 8. Prostatic penetration of pazufloxacin was good with mean Cmax ratios (prostate tissue/plasma) of 0.82-0.99 and for AUC, 0.80-0.98. The probability of reaching target MIC concentrations in prostate tissue was more than 90% for dosing schedules of 0.25 mg/L for 500 mg every 24 h (500 mg daily), 0.5 mg/L for 500 mg every 12 h (1000 mg daily), 1 mg/L for 1000 mg every 24 h (1000 mg daily), and 2 mg/L for 1000 mg every 12 h (2000 mg daily). Importantly, the 2000 mg daily regimen of pazufloxacin produced a profile sufficient to have an antibacterial effect in prostate tissue against clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia with MIC values less than 2 mg/L.

This study aimed to investigate the penetration of PIPC-TAZ into human prostate, and to assess effectiveness of PIPC-TAZ against prostatitis by evaluating site-specific PK-PD. Patients with prostatic hypertrophy (n = 47) prophylactically received a 0.5 h infusion of PIPC-TAZ (8:1.2-0.25 g or 4-0.5 g) before transurethral resection of the prostate. PIPC-TAZ concentrations in plasma (0.5-5 h) and prostate tissue (0.5-1.5 h) were analyzed with a three-compartment PK model. The estimated model parameters were, then used to estimate the drug exposure time above the minimum inhibitory concentration for bacteria (T > MIC, the PD indicator for antibacterial effects) in prostate tissue for six PIPC-TAZ regimens (2.25 or 4.5 g; once, twice, three times or four times daily; 0.5 h infusions). Prostate tissue/plasma ratio of PIPC was about 36% both for the maximum drug concentration (Cmax) and the area under the drug concentration-time curve (AUC). Against MIC distributions for isolates of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species and Proteus species, regimens of 4.5 g twice daily and 2.25 g three times daily achieved a >90% probability of attaining the bacteriostatic target for PIPC (30% T > MIC) in prostate tissue; regimens of 4.5 g three times daily and 2.25 g four times daily achieved a >90% probability of attaining the bactericidal target for PIPC (50% T > MIC) in prostate tissue. However, against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, none of the tested regimens achieved a >90% probability. PIPC-TAZ is appropriate for the treatment of prostatitis from the site-specific PK-PD perspective.

OBJECTIVES: To establish a cefozopran (a fourth-generation cephem) population pharmacokinetic model using patient data and use it to explore alternative dosage regimens that could optimize the currently used dosing regimen to achieve higher likelihood of pharmacodynamic exposure against pathogenic bacteria. METHODS: We conducted a prospective clinical trial of cefozopran for haematological patients with febrile neutropenia (FN). Twenty-two patients (30 episodes) were selected to receive intravenous cefozopran every 8 h on a daily basis. We gathered concentration data and performed the NONMEM program. The Monte Carlo simulation was performed to assess the pharmacodynamic exposure based on the population pharmacokinetics and MIC. RESULTS: The NONMEM program demonstrated that a two-compartment model provided a best fit for the data, that is, CL of 4.62 (L/h), V1 of 10.3 (L), Q of 4.47 (L/h), and V2 of 4.48 (L). On the basis of the Japanese national surveillance findings for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, viridans group streptococci, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, Monte Carlo simulation data showed that probability of target attainment(T>MIC = 70%) is 67% to 97% for dosing every 8 h, and 48% to 88% for dosing every 12 h. For the patients in whom the efficacy of cefozopran could be evaluated, 17 of 22 patients (77.2%) survived the episode of FN without requiring further antibacterial treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Our study proved that Monte Carlo simulation based on population pharmacokinetics can determine optimized dosage and method. The optimal regimen for this cephem was found to be three times daily.

A simple, rapid, and precise HPLC method using ultrafiltration to remove plasma protein was developed to determine cefozopran concentrations in human plasma for real-time therapeutic drug monitoring. Plasma was separated by centrifugation at 4 degrees C from blood collected in heparinized vacuum tubes. Cefozopran and an internal standard were detected by ultraviolet absorbances at 235 nm with no interfering plasma peak. The calibration curve of cefozopran in human plasma was linear from 0.2 to 200 microg/ml. The limit of detection was 0.05 microg/ml. The assay was applied to febrile neutropenia patients in a clinical setting.
