In the context of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, the clinical trial Anticholium® per Se (EudraCT Number: 2012-001650-26, ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03013322) addressed the possibility of taking adjunctive physostigmine salicylate treatment in septic shock from bench to bedside. Pharmacokinetics (PK) are likely altered in critically ill patients; data on physostigmine PK and target concentrations are sparse, particularly for continuous infusion. Our objective was to build a population PK (popPK) model for physostigmine, and further evaluate pharmacodynamics (PD) and concentration-response relationship in this setting.
In the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 20 patients with perioperative septic shock either received an initial dose of 0.04 mg/kg physostigmine salicylate, followed by continuous infusion of 1 mg/h for up to 120 h, or equivalent volumes of 0.9% sodium chloride (placebo group). Physostigmine plasma concentrations and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity were measured; concentration-response associations were evaluated, and popPK and PD modeling was performed with NONMEM.
Steady state physostigmine plasma concentrations reached 7.60 ± 2.81 ng/mL (mean ± standard deviation [SD]). PK was best described by a two-compartment model with linear clearance. Significant covariate effects were detected for body weight and age on clearance, as well as a high inter-individual variability of the central volume of distribution. AChE activity was significantly reduced to 30.5%-50.6% of baseline activity during physostigmine salicylate infusion. A sigmoidal direct effect PD model best described enzyme inhibition by physostigmine, with an estimated half maximal effective concentration (EC) of 5.99 ng/mL.
PK of physostigmine in patients with septic shock displayed substantial inter-individual variability with body weight and age influencing the clearance. Physostigmine inhibited AChE activity with a sigmoidal concentration-response effect.
在胆碱能抗炎途径的背景下,临床试验 Anticholium® per Se(EudraCT 编号:2012-001650-26,ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03013322)探讨了在脓毒性休克中辅助使用毒扁豆碱水杨酸盐治疗的可能性,从理论研究到临床实践。药代动力学(PK)在危重病患者中可能发生改变;毒扁豆碱 PK 和靶浓度的数据很少,特别是对于连续输注。我们的目标是建立毒扁豆碱的群体 PK(popPK)模型,并进一步评估在此环境中的药效动力学(PD)和浓度-反应关系。
在这项随机、双盲、安慰剂对照试验中,20 名围手术期脓毒性休克患者接受初始剂量 0.04mg/kg 毒扁豆碱水杨酸盐,随后以 1mg/h 的速度持续输注长达 120h,或接受等效体积的 0.9%氯化钠(安慰剂组)。测量毒扁豆碱血浆浓度和乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)活性;评估浓度-反应相关性,并使用 NONMEM 进行 popPK 和 PD 建模。
稳态毒扁豆碱血浆浓度达到 7.60±2.81ng/mL(平均值±标准差[SD])。PK 最好用具有线性清除率的两室模型来描述。清除率与体重和年龄有显著的协变量影响,以及中央分布容积的个体间变异性很高。在毒扁豆碱水杨酸盐输注期间,AChE 活性显著降低至基线活性的 30.5%-50.6%。毒扁豆碱对酶的抑制作用最好用 sigmoidal 直接效应 PD 模型来描述,其估计的半最大有效浓度(EC)为 5.99ng/mL。
脓毒性休克患者的毒扁豆碱 PK 显示出与体重和年龄相关的个体间变异性,清除率受其影响。毒扁豆碱抑制 AChE 活性,具有 sigmoidal 浓度-反应效应。
