Abstract The thrombopoietic efficacy of recombinant forms of c-mplligand is being actively investigated in preclinical studies using daily dosing schedules. However, a comprehensive kinetic study of the thrombopoietic response to a single injection of recombinant c-mpl ligand has not been performed. Here, we present the results of a detailed kinetic analysis of the platelet response to a single intravenous administration of pegylated recombinant murine megakaryocyte growth and development factor (PEG-rmMGDF) in mice. In addition, we compare the efficacy of single versus daily dosing in stimulating platelet production. A single intravenous injection of PEG-rmMGDF produced a marked and dose-dependent elevation in platelet number and a moderate increase in mean platelet volume (MPV). After administration of 25 or 250 μg/kg of PEG-rmMGDF, platelet number was first increased on day 3 and peaked at 2.7-fold (25 μg/kg) and 5.7-fold of normal (250 μg/kg) on day 5. Thereafter, platelet number declined and returned to baseline by days 9 and 14, with the 25 and 250 μg/kg doses, respectively. MPV began to increase on day 2 after PEG-rmMGDF, reaching maximum values of 1.2-fold (25 μg/kg) and 1.5-fold of normal (250 μg/kg) on day 4. Subsequently, MPV declined and was downregulated on days 6 to 7 (25 μg/kg) and day 8 (250 μg/kg). Based on these results, we evaluated the platelet response to PEG-rmMGDF administered intravenously as a single dose versus daily for 5 days. A single administration of 100 μg/kg produced a higher platelet number on day 5 than daily administration of 100 or 20 μg/kg for 5 days. However, the thrombocytosis was less sustained after single versus daily dosing. The smaller platelet number increase on day 5 after daily dosing reflected the production of larger platelets, rather than suppression of thrombopoiesis. Our results indicate that PEG-rmMGDF administered as a single intravenous dose potently stimulates platelet production in mice, challenging the need for its daily administration. Adoption of an intermittent administration schedule of this cytokine could be more efficacious and is merited in future clinical trials.

Daunomycin, an antibiotic used in the clinical management of acute leukemia, produces a delayed, lethal cardiac toxicity. The lethality is dose and schedule dependent; histopathologic changes induced by the drug have been described in heart, lung, and kidney from hamsters in both single and multiple dose studies. Mice given a single intravenous dose of daunomycin (10 mg/kg) die 6-7 days later. Drug distribution studies indicate that the rodents excrete most of a single dose of the drug as daunomycin and metabolite within 48 hours after dosage (M. A. Asbell, personal communication).Myocardium from the ventricles of 6 moribund BDF1 mice which had received a single intravenous dose of daunomycin (10 mg/kg), and from controls dosed with physiologic saline, was fixed in glutaraldehyde and prepared for electron microscopy.

SummaryThe tail bleeding time (BT) in rats definitely varies according to the method applied. Of the various variables that may influence BT, we have evaluated the position (horizontal or vertical) of the tail, the environment (air or saline), the temperature (4°, 23° or 37° C) and the type of anaesthesia. Transection of the tail tip cannot be used to screen drugs active on platelet function since it is sensitive to coagulation defects. Template BT in contrast is not modified by heparin and is sensitive to defects of platelet number and function (“storage pool disease”, dipyridamole-like drugs, exogenous prostacyclin). In contrast the test fails to detect aspirin-induced platelet dysfunction. The evidence reported indicates that thromboxane A2-prostacyclin balance is not a factor regulating BT. Aspirin treatment however may be a precipitating factor when associated with other abnormalities of platelet function.Template BT is a valid screening test for platelet disorders and for antiplatelet drugs.

The effects of poly-L-aspartic acid on the pharmacokinetics of gentamicin were examined by using a randomized crossover trial design with the dog. When analyzed according to a three-compartment open model, poly-L-aspartic acid reduced some first-order rate equation constants (A3, lambda 1, and lambda 3), the deep peripheral compartment exit microconstant (k31), the elimination rate constant (k(el)), and the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 480 h (AUC0-480) (0.21-, 0.60-, 0.26-, 0.27-, 0.72-, and 0.76-fold, respectively; P < 0.05) but increased the volume of distribution at steady state (Vss), the volume of distribution calculated by the area method (V(area)), the apparent volume of the peripheral compartment (Vp), and all mean time parameters. These results suggested that poly-L-aspartic acid increased the distribution of gentamicin to or binding within the deep peripheral compartment and that poly-L-aspartic acid may have delayed gentamicin transit through the peripheral tissues. In contrast, poly-L-aspartic acid did not alter pharmacokinetic parameters relevant to the central or shallow peripheral compartments to a clinically significant extent. Although gentamicin's pharmacokinetic parameters of relevance to therapeutic drug monitoring were not directly altered, this study has provided pharmacokinetic evidence that poly-L-aspartic acid alters the peripheral distribution of gentamicin. This pharmacokinetic interaction occurred after a single intravenous dose of each drug. Therefore, this interaction should be investigated further, before polyaspartic acid can be considered for use as a clinical nephroprotectant.

Apparent Volume Of Distribution

We found the report by Feldman et al1 interesting with potential clinical application. However, we would like to point out an error in their determination of the apparent volume of distribution (V) and comment on both their methodology and results. They state that V was calculated by dividing the dose of the drug by the extrapolated y intercept for drug concentration at time 0. This method is correct for a drug which exhibits monoexponential elimination following a single intravenous dose.

Abstract. There is increasing use of intermittent dosing of antibiotics to treat peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis. The disposition of intravenous cefazolin and tobramycin was studied in automated PD (APD) patients. Ten patients were recruited and received a single intravenous dose of cefazolin (15 mg/kg) and tobramycin (0.6 mg/kg). Blood and dialysate samples were collected at the beginning, middle, and end of dwells 1 to 3 (on cycler), and at the end of dwells 4 to 5 (off cycler) for a 24-h period. Baseline and 24-h urine samples were collected. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a monoexponential model. Cefazolin and tobramycin half-lives were markedly different on cycler than off cycler (cefazolin on cycler : 10.67 ± 4.66 h ; cefazolin off cycler : 23.09 ± 5.6 h ; P = 0.001 ; tobramycin on cycler : 14.27 ± 4.53 h ; tobramycin off cycler : 68.5 ± 26.47 h ; P < 0.001). Mean serum and dialysate concentrations were above minimum inhibitory concentrations of susceptible organisms throughout the 24-h period for both drugs with intravenous administration. A model was developed to examine serum and dialysate concentrations after intermittent intraperitoneal administration of 15 mg/kg cefazolin and 0.6 mg/kg tobramycin. Model-predicted intraperitoneal cefazolin provides adequate serum and dialysate concentrations for 24 h. Intermittent intraperitoneal tobramycin doses must be 1.5 mg/kg for one exchange during the first day and then given as 0.5 mg/kg thereafter. It is concluded that the current empiric dosing recommendations for PD-related peritonitis may be adequate for cefazolin (15 to 20 mg/kg) ; however, tobramycin doses must be changed to 1.5 mg/kg intraperitoneally on day 1, then to 0.5 mg/kg intraperitoneally thereafter in APD patients.
