Rapid achievement of a serum concentration plateau of digoxin through controlled infusion

Abstract: Using a volume-controlled infusion pump, a mean serum plateau level of digoxin of 4-5 ng/ml was rapidly achieved and maintained in 6 healthy volunteers. The infusion scheme was calculated on the basis of data published on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of digoxin following bolus intravenous injection. The magnitude of the response (change in electromechanical systole) at the end of the plateau phase was comparable to that observed with the concentration in the therapeutic range at steady state.

“…A human dose prediction for BKIDC-1553 was generated using estimated human pharmacokinetic parameters and BKIDC-1553 concentrations associated with efficacy in a preclinical prostate cancer mouse model. BKIDC-1553 clearance (Cl) and volume of distribution (V) in a 74 kg human were estimated by allometric scaling using pharmacokinetic parameters observed with IV dosing in rats, dogs, and non-human primates (Table S7) (36)(37)(38). Since the exponent for Cl using body weight was >1, the product of Cl x brain weight was used (39).…”

“…In order to obtain an approximation of the peak drug level in target tissue we combine the one-compartment organ model with a one-compartment 'body' model assuming mono-exponential drug disposition characterized by the mean disposition residence time, MDRT. From equations (8) and (9) we obtain where C(0) denotes C(t = 0) and the peak level is reached at log (MDRT/ti) tmax,i = ti In the case of the two-compartment organ model we can explicitly write down the maximum of the impulse response (equation (4)) which is characterized by a peak time where a, and bi are defined by equations ( 5 ) to (7). Experimentally, this could be the peak time of the tissue concentration-time curve in an isolated organ after a bolus dose.…”

“…Abbreviations: LVET, = left ventricular ejection time corrected for heart rate, PTQ-score = (PR X T-score)/QT, estimated from ECG, TES = total error score in Farnsworth's Munsell 100 Hue-Test calculation, pharmacokinetic model), determination of serum digoxin concentration, and further details are described in a previous paper. 3 The pharmacokinetic results represented there are replotted in Figure 1, showing that an average plateau digoxin concentration between 4 and 5ng ml-' is rapidly attained and afterwards maintained until the end of the infusion period. The total digoxin dose infused in 4 h was 1.3 mg. Six healthy male volunteers aged between 24 and 26 years participated in the study.…”
