1、Cefoselis (CFSL), a fourth-generation parenteral cephalo- sporin, has been marketed in Japan since September 1998. In December 1998, warnings of central nervous system (CNS) adverse effects such as seizures and confusion

2、al states were added to the labeling of CFSL. In many cases, these adverse effects were observed in patients who were elderly and/or had renal failure. Therefore renal failure is considered as one of the risk factors for

3、 neurotoxicity of CFSL. Since CFSL is mainly eliminated by renal excretion,1) renal failure would be associated with increased serum concentrations of CFSL. On the other hand, it is still unknown whether renal failure ca

21、il 17, 2001; accepted June 12, 2001We investigated the effect of infusion rate and experimental renal failure on the pharmacodynamics of cefos- elis (CFSL)-induced seizures. As an animal model of CFSL-induced seizures, m

22、ale Wistar rats received an intra- venous infusion of CFSL at one of three different rates (1.4—5.8 g/h/rat) until the onset of maximal seizures (which occurred after 8.0 to 36.0 min of infusion). Samples of cerebrospina

23、l fl uid (CSF), blood (for serum), and brain were obtained immediately after stopping infusion of CSFL. The serum concentration of CFSL at the onset of seizures increased with increasing infusion rate, but brain and CSF

24、concentrations of CFSL at the onset of seizures were not affected by the infusion rate. Ureter-ligated (UL) and control rats received an intravenous in- fusion of CFSL at 1.4 g/h/rat until the onset of seizures. Then the

25、 same procedure as used to determine the effect of infusion rate on the concentrations of CFSL was carried out. Renal failure was associated with a signifi cant decrease in the amount of CFSL required to induce seizures.

26、 Serum, brain, and CSF concentrations of CFSL in UL rats were signifi cantly lower than those in control rats. These results indicate that the experimental strategy and animal model in this investigation would be useful

27、to assess the effects of diseases and other variables on the pharmacodynamics of CFSL-induced seizures and that renal failure is one of the risk factors for neurotoxicity of CFSL.Key words cefoselis; renal failure; seizu

29、pharmacologic effect(s) when their concentration(s) at the site of action reach and exceed the minimum effective concentration. We need to determine the sampling site that refl ects drug concentrations in the site of act

30、ion because it is technically impossible to measure drug concentrations in the immediate environment of the site of action. For this pur- pose, the drug is administered by constant-rate intravenous infusion at different

31、rates until the onset of a suitable phar- macologic endpoint and drug concentration in various fl uids and tissues (serum, brain, and CSF) at that time are deter- mined. Sites at which the drug concentration at the onset

32、 of action is dependent on infusion rate (the concentration tends to increase with increasing infusion rate) can be considered to be in slow equilibrium with the site of action. Any fl uid or tissue that yields the same

33、drug concentration at onset of ac- tion, independent of the rate of drug administration, must be considered as being in “ instantaneous” distribution equilib- rium with the site of action.3)The results of this study show

34、 that CFSL concentration in the serum at the onset of maximal seizures is signifi cantly af- fected by the rate of drug infusion, whereas CFSL concentra- tions in the brain and CSF at the pharmacologic endpoint are indep

35、endent of infusion rate. These results suggest that CFSL equilibrates slowly between serum and the site of ac- tion, and drug concentrations in the brain and CSF are more appropriate indices of the drug concentration in

36、the site of action. We also investigated the effect of experimental renal fail- ure on the pharmacodynamics of CFSL-induced seizures in rats. In the present study, renal failure was associated with a signifi cant decreas

37、e in the amount of CFSL required to in- duce seizures. This result suggests that renal failure is one of the risk factors for CFSL-induced seizures, and this is con- sistent with recent clinical fi ndings of a higher inc

38、idence of CFSL-induced neurotoxicity in patients with renal failure.11)In addition, serum, brain, and CSF concentrations of CFSL in UL rats were signifi cantly lower than those in control rats. This indicates that renal

39、failure is associated with changes in the pharmacodynamics of CFSL-induced seizures. Renal failure could change the pharmacokinetics of CFSL because CFSL is mainly eliminated by renal excretion.1) The permeability of the

40、 blood-CSF barrier may be increased as refl ected by increased protein concentration in the CSF. If renal failure affected only the pharmacokinetics of CFSL and/or the permeability of CFSL at the blood-CSF barrier, there

41、 would be no differences in the CFSL concentration in the brain and CSF at the onset of seizures between control and UL rats. In this study, however, UL rats had lower brain and CSF concentrations of CFSL at the onset of

42、 seizures compared with the corresponding results in control rats. This indicates that the cause of the change in drug effect with renal failure is not only the delay in CFSL elimination and the increased permeability of

43、 CFSL at the blood-CSF barrier but also the increased CNS sensitivity to CFSL-induced seizures. The effects of experimental renal failure on the pharmaco-dynamics of other CNS-active drugs were investigated previ- ously.

46、ling of the endogenous substance(s) between blood and the gastrointestinal tract. These indicate that changes in drug effects under renal impairment may be due to, at least in part, an increase in levels of one or more e

47、n- dogenous substance(s) that alter the pharmacological effects of certain drugs in uremic rats. The uremic blood apparently contains elevated concentra- tions of one or more endogenous substances, the so-called uremic t
