RESUMO
Linezolid is the first FDA-approved oxazolidinone with activity against clinically important gram-positive pathogens, including methicillin (meticillin)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). RWJ-416457 is a new oxazolidinone with an antimicrobial spectrum similar to that of linezolid. The goal of the present study was to develop a general pharmacokinetic (PK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) model that allows the characterization and comparison of the in vitro activities of oxazolidinones, determined in time-kill curve experiments, against MRSA. The in vitro activities of RWJ-416457 and the first-in-class representative, linezolid, against MRSA OC2878 were determined in static and dynamic time-kill curve experiments over a wide range of concentrations: 0.125 to 8 μg/ml (MIC, 0.5 μg/ml) and 0.25 to 16 μg/ml (MIC, 1 μg/ml), respectively. After correction for drug degradation during the time-kill curve experiments, a two-subpopulation model was simultaneously fitted to all data in the NONMEM VI program. The robustness of the model and the precision of the parameter estimates were evaluated by internal model validation by nonparametric bootstrap analysis. A two-subpopulation model, consisting of a self-replicating, oxazolidinone-susceptible and a persistent, oxazolidinone-insusceptible pool of bacteria was appropriate for the characterization of the time-kill curve data. The PK-PD model identified was capable of accounting for saturation in growth, delays in the onsets of growth and drug-induced killing, as well as naturally occurring bacterial death. The simultaneous fit of the proposed indirect-response, maximum-effect model to the data resulted in concentrations that produced a half-maximum killing effect that were significantly (P < 0.05) lower for RWJ-416457 (0.41 μg/ml) than for linezolid (1.39 μg/ml). In combination with the appropriate PK data, the susceptibility-based two-subpopulation model identified may provide valuable guidance for the selection of oxazolidinone doses or dose regimens for use in clinical studies.
