In drug discovery, the extent of brain penetration as measured by free brain/plasma concentration ratio (K p,uu) is normally determined from one experiment following constant intravenous (IV) infusion, and PK parameters including clearance (CL), volume of distribution at steady-state (V SS), and effective half-life (t 1/2,eff) are determined from another experiment after a single IV-bolus injection. The objective of the present study was to develop and verify a method to simultaneously determine K p,uu and PK parameters from a single intravenous infusion experiment. In this study, 9 compounds (atenolol, loperamide, minoxidil, NFPS, sulpiride, and 4 proprietary compounds) were intravenously infused for 4 h at 1 mg/kg or 24 h at 1 or 6 mg/kg or bolus injection at 1 mg/kg. Plasma samples were serially collected and brain and CSF samples were collected at the end of infusion. The PK parameters were obtained using noncompartmental (NCA) and compartmental analyses. The K p,uu ,brain values of those compounds increased up to 2.86-fold from 4 h to 24 h. The CL calculated from infusion rate vs. steady-state concentration from the 24 h infusion studies was more consistent with the CL from the IV bolus studies than that from 4 h infusion studies (CL average fold-of-difference 1.19~1.44 vs. 2.10). The compartmental analysis using 1-and 2-compartment models demonstrated better performance than NCA regardless of study design. In addition, V ss and t 1/2,eff could be accurately obtained by 1-compartment analysis within 2-fold difference. In conclusion, both K p,uu,brain and PK parameters can be successfully estimated from a 24 h IV-infusion study design.
