A Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model for the Prediction of Plasma and Bone Tissue Exposure after Prophylactic Administration of Ampicillin/Sulbactam in Patients with Osteonecrosis of the Jaw.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The combination of ampicillin (AMP) together with sulbactam (SBC) is a widely used choice for infection prophylaxis in the context of numerous surgical procedures, especially those performed in the field of maxillofacial surgery. Since the pharmacokinetic behavior of these two substances in body tissues is not known in detail owing to sparse tissue data in the literature, the aim of this work was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model that can predict the concentration versus time courses of AMP and SBC after intravenous administration in plasma, especially bone tissue. Furthermore, the effectiveness of an established prophylaxis regimen based on the developed PBPK model was to be evaluated.

Methods

A PBPK model for middle-ag
