Abstract
Purpose
To observe the variability in the plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) profiles of first-line antitubercular drugs in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).
Methods
Newly diagnosed pulmonary TB patients aged 18–60 years with or without DM were included in the study. Group I (n = 20) included patients with TB, whereas group II (n = 20) included patients with both TB and DM. After 2 weeks of therapy, plasma concentrations and other PK-PD parameters were determined. Improvements in clinical features, X-ray findings, sputum conversion, and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were assessed after 2 months of therapy.
Results
Isoniazid displayed non-significantly higher plasma concentrations in diabetic patients, along with a significantly (P < 0.05) longer elimination half-life (t1/2). Rifampicin plasma concentrations at 4, 8, and 12 h were significantly (P < 0.05) lower, and it displayed significantly (P < 0.05) lower area under the curve (AUC0-12 and AUC0-∞), shorter t1/2, higher clearance (Cl), and a lower AUC0-∞/MIC ratio in diabetic patients. Pyrazinamide and ethambutol showed non-significantly higher plasma concentrations, AUC0-12, AUC0-∞, and t1/2 in diabetic patients. The improvements in clinical features, X-ray findings, sputum conversion, and ADRs were comparable in both groups.
Conclusions
The presence of DM in TB patients affects the PK-PD parameters of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol variably in the Indian population. Studies with a larger number of patients are required to further elucidate the role of DM on the PK-PD profile of first-line antitubercular drugs and treatment outcomes in TB patients with concomitant DM.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology publishes original papers on all aspects of clinical pharmacology and drug therapy in humans. Manuscripts are welcomed on the following topics: therapeutic trials, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, drug metabolism, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, all aspects of drug development, development relating to teaching in clinical pharmacology, pharmacoepidemiology, and matters relating to the rational prescribing and safe use of drugs. Methodological contributions relevant to these topics are also welcomed.
Data from animal experiments are accepted only in the context of original data in man reported in the same paper. EJCP will only consider manuscripts describing the frequency of allelic variants in different populations if this information is linked to functional data or new interesting variants. Highly relevant differences in frequency with a major impact in drug therapy for the respective population may be submitted as a letter to the editor.
Straightforward phase I pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies as parts of new drug development will only be considered for publication if the paper involves
-a compound that is interesting and new in some basic or fundamental way, or
-methods that are original in some basic sense, or
-a highly unexpected outcome, or
-conclusions that are scientifically novel in some basic or fundamental sense.
