Abstract
This study evaluates the impact of acute pyelonephritis in pregnant women on the in vivo activity of renal OAT3 using the endogenous biomarker (EB) 6β-hydroxycortisol (6β-OHF) renal clearance (CLrenal 6β-OHF) and AUC6β-OHF validated by correlating with the secretion clearance (CLsec) of the probe drug furosemide. Additionally, 6β-OHF formation clearance (CLformation 6β-OHF) as well as urinary (Ae6β-OHF/AeF) and plasma (AUC6βOHF/AUCF) ratios were also evaluated as EB for hepatic CYP3A activity. Pregnant women in their third trimester of gestation, diagnosed with acute pyelonephritis, were recruited before (pre-treatment, n = 8) and after (post-treatment, n = 8) cefuroxime treatment and resolution of acute pyelonephritis. All participants received a single dose of furosemide 40 mg for evaluation of OAT3 in vivo activity on both occasions followed by collection of urine and serial blood samples for 24 h. The CLrenal 6β-OHF (geometric mean and 95% CI) increased from 1.81 L/h (0.86-3.83) to 11.82 L/h (6.58-21.24), whereas the AUC6β-OHF decreased from 44.85 ng h/mL (30.96-64.98) to 24.20 ng h/mL (16.05-36.48) pre- and post-treatment. Significant statistical correlations were observed between furosemide CLsec and CLrenal 6β-OHF (R = 0.88, P = .01) and AUC6β-OHF (R = -0.66, P > .001). Additionally, the CLformation 6β-OHF was lower in pre-treatment 26.81 L/h (10.18-70.59) than in post-treatment 96.18 L/h (64.21-144.09), whereas AUC6βOHF/AUCF ratios were decreased from 0.014 (0.010-0.019) pre-treatment to 0.009 (0.006-0.013) post-treatment. Regarding Ae6β-OHF/AeF ratios, no differences were observed between pre-treatment and post-treatment. In conclusion, CLrenal 6β-OHF evaluates renal OAT3 activity when CYP3A is inhibited, whereas CLformation 6β-OHF evaluates hepatic CYP3A when OAT3 is inhibited, such as in pregnant women with acute pyelonephritis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology (JCP) is a Human Pharmacology journal designed to provide physicians, pharmacists, research scientists, regulatory scientists, drug developers and academic colleagues a forum to present research in all aspects of Clinical Pharmacology. This includes original research in pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenetics/pharmacogenomics, pharmacometrics, physiologic based pharmacokinetic modeling, drug interactions, therapeutic drug monitoring, regulatory sciences (including unique methods of data analysis), special population studies, drug development, pharmacovigilance, womens’ health, pediatric pharmacology, and pharmacodynamics. Additionally, JCP publishes review articles, commentaries and educational manuscripts. The Journal also serves as an instrument to disseminate Public Policy statements from the American College of Clinical Pharmacology.
