چکیده

OBJECTIVES To characterize the distribution of linezolid in lung when it accesses this organ from the systemic circulation and when administered through the pulmonary route and to evaluate the influence of the 'respiratory mode' in the pulmonary distribution for both routes. METHODS The study was conducted with 24 Wistar rats divided into four groups treated with linezolid under different experimental conditions. After the animals had been subjected to a tracheotomy followed by mechanical ventilation, the lungs were isolated. After a 5 min stabilization period, the antibiotic was administered through the systemic or the pulmonary route and samples of efferent fluid (EF) were collected using a previously programmed fraction collector. Samples of bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF) and of lung tissue were also taken at the end of each experiment. The concentrations of linezolid in the samples were determined using an HPLC technique with UV detection. RESULTS The administration of linezolid through the inhalatory route significantly increased the levels of the drug in lung tissue and BALF with lung tissue/EF partition coefficients of 8.33 +/- 2.51 as compared with 1.90 +/- 0.78 for systemic administration. Also, the decrease in respiratory rate together with the increase in tidal volume favoured the process of linezolid distribution in pulmonary tissues and fluids. CONCLUSIONS Administration through the pulmonary route affords and excellent method for passively vectoring linezolid to the pulmonary fluids and tissues and the respiratory mode seems to affect the disposition of the antibiotic in this tissue for both administration routes.

Pulmonary versus systemic delivery of antibiotics: comparison of vancomycin dispositions in the isolated rat lung.

Vancomycin dispositions in the respiratory system were compared after systemic and inhalatory administration under two respiratory conditions using the isolated-lung model. Inhalatory delivery led to much higher drug levels in pulmonary tissue and fluids. The respiratory pattern affects vancomycin disposition in the pulmonary system regardless of the administration route.

Sustained Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction in the Isolated Perfused Rat Lung: Effect of α1-adrenergic Receptor Agonist

Background: Alveolar hypoxia induces monophasic pulmonary vasoconstriction in vivo, biphasic vasoconstriction in the isolated pulmonary artery, and controversial responses in the isolated perfused lung. Pulmonary vascular responses to sustained alveolar hypoxia have not been addressed in the isolated perfused rat lung. In this study, we investigated the effect of sustained hypoxic ventilation o...

Delivering horseradish peroxidase as a respirable powder to the isolated, perfused, and ventilated lung of the rat: the pulmonary disposition of an inhaled model biopharmaceutical.

BACKGROUND Our aim was to investigate the potential of the DustGun aerosol technology integrated with the isolated, perfused, and ventilated lung of the rat (IPL) to study the pulmonary disposition of an inhaled model biopharmaceutical, the 40-kDa protein horseradish peroxidase (HRP). METHOD The DustGun aerosol technology was used to deliver respirable powder aerosols of HRP (the mass median ...

Quantitative evaluation of hemodynamic parameters during acute alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia in the isolated ventilated-perfused rabbit lung

Introduction: Acute respiratory disorders such as obstructive pulmonary diseases and hypoventilation may lead to alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia which their effects on pulmonary vascular beds are controversial. The aim of this study was to establish the isolated perfused lung setup and investigate the effects of alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia on pulmonary vascular resistance. Methods: White ...
