ABSTRACT
A population pharmacokinetic model was developed to describe alterations in ceftaroline brain disposition caused by meningitis in healthy and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-infected rats. Blood and brain microdialysate samples were obtained after a single bolus dose of ceftaroline fosamil (20 mg/kg) administered intravenously. Plasma data were modeled as one compartment, and brain data were added to the model as a second compartment, with bidirectional drug transport between plasma and brain (Qin and Qout). The cardiac output (CO) of the animals showed a significant correlation with the relative recovery (RR) of plasma microdialysis probes, with animals with greater CO presenting lower RR values. The Qin was approximately 60% higher in infected animals, leading to greater brain exposure to ceftaroline. Ceftaroline brain penetration was influenced by MRSA infection, increasing from 17% (Qin/Qout) in healthy animals to 27% in infected animals. Simulations of a 2-h intravenous infusion of 50 mg/kg every 8 h achieved >90% probability of target attainment (PTA) in plasma and brain for the modal MRSA MIC (0.25 mg/L), suggesting that the drug should be considered an option for treating central nervous system infections.
