Abstract

Prostatic hypertrophy patients prophylactically received a 0.5-hour infusion of doripenem (250 or 500 mg) before transurethral resection of the prostate. Doripenem concentrations in plasma and prostate tissue were measured chromatographically, and analysed pharmacokinetically using a three-compartment model. The approved doripenem regimens were assessed based on the time above the minimum inhibitory concentration for bacteria (T>MIC, % of 24 hours), an indicator for antibacterial effects, at the prostate. The prostate tissue/plasma ratios were 17.3% for the maximum drug concentration and 18.7% for the area under the drug concentration-time curve, and they were irrespective of the dose. Against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species isolates, 500 mg once daily achieved a>90% probability of attaining the bacteriostatic target (20% T>MIC) in prostate tissue, and 500 mg twice daily achieved a>90% probability of attaining the bactericidal target (40% T>MIC) in prostate tissue.
