Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Saliva

Abstract: This article re-examines the issue of salivary therapeutic drug monitoring (STDM). The anatomy and physiology of saliva and the salivary glands, as well as the effects of disease and drugs on salivary secretion and composition, are discussed briefly. Drugs for which therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has been shown useful are individually considered to determine if salivary drug concentrations (Csal) are reflective of plasma free drug concentrations (C(up)). That is, is the Csal/C(up) ratio time- and concentrat… Show more

“…2), a feature that allows for the free exchange of bloodbased molecules into the adjacent saliva-producing acinus cells (17). Researchers postulate that blood-derived molecules entering salivary tissues via transcellular (e.g., passive and active transport) or paracellular (e.g., extracellular ultrafiltration) routes (18,19,20) could potentially influence the molecular constituency of oral fluids. This suggests that circulating biomarkers of disease absorbed by the salivary glands may possibly alter the biochemical composition of salivary secretions.…”

“…The use of oral fluid for VRC TDM was previously described by Michael et al 9 and is supported by the physico-chemical characteristics of this drug, especially its pKa of 1.76 22 (with ionization being unaffected by usual mouth's pH) and its protein binding of 58%. 23 Interestingly, the percentage of oral fluid related to plasma concentration was relatively stable, ranging from 52.0-67.9%, with mean of 57.5%. However, these values were considerably different from those found by Michael et al, 9 which were in the range of 14-56% with an overall mean of 40% in adult patients.…”

“…The determination of drug concentrations in the saliva and urine has gained widespread acceptance in a variety of settings (Drobitch and Svensson, 1992). The estimation of drugs in the saliva and urine has been employed for therapeutic drug monitoring, effectiveness of the excretory organs and for calculation of pharmacokinetic variables (Mucklow, 1982).…”
