A Minimal Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model to Characterize CNS Distribution of Metronidazole in Neuro Care ICU Patients

Résumé

Understanding antibiotic concentration-time profiles in the central nervous system (CNS) is crucial to treat severe life-threatening CNS infections, such as nosocomial ventriculitis or meningitis. Yet CNS distribution is likely to be altered in patients with brain damage and infection/inflammation. Our objective was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to predict brain concentration-time profiles of antibiotics and to simulate the impact of pathophysiological changes on CNS profiles. A minimal PBPK model consisting of three physiological brain compartments was developed from metronidazole concentrations previously measured in plasma, brain extracellular fluid (ECF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of eight brain-injured patients. Volumes and blood flows were fixed to their physiological value obtained from the literature. Diffusion clearances characterizing transport across the blood–brain barrier and blood–CSF barrier were estimated from system- and drug-specific parameters and were confirmed from a Caco-2 model. The model described well unbound metronidazole pharmacokinetic profiles in plasma, ECF and CSF. Simulations showed that with metronidazole, an antibiotic with extensive CNS distribution simply governed by passive diffusion, pathophysiological alterations of membrane permeability, brain ECF volume or cerebral blood flow would have no effect on ECF or CSF pharmacokinetic profiles. This work will serve as a starting point for the development of a new PBPK model to describe the CNS distribution of antibiotics with more limited permeability for which pathophysiological conditions are expected to have a greater effect.
