The circadian variation of clinical pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus was studied using 16 adult renal transplant recipients 1 month after the operation. The recipients were administered tacrolimus twice a day(9 a.m. and 9 p.m.), and whole-blood samples were obtained just prior to and 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours after oral administration. Histological specimens of transplant kidney were collected by on allograft core biopsy on day 28 after the transplantation. There were no circadian changes in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC(0-12)) (214 ng.h/mL during daytime vs. 223 ng.h/mL during nighttime) resulting from morning and night doses. A slight delay in mean residence time (MRT0-12) and time to the peak concentration (t(max)) was found after night doses, but there was no statistical significance. Three patients (18.8%) had a clinical acute rejection (AR) episode 4 to 6 weeks after transplantation, and AUC(0-12) at nighttime was significantly lower (18.4 % on average) in patients with AR in comparison to those without AR. There was no statistical significance in maximum concentration (C-max) or morning/night trough levels between patients with and without AR, In regard to the correlation between tocrolimus concentrations in each sampling time and AUC(0-12), the morning trough concentrations were less predictable for daytime AUC(0-12) (r(2) = 0.125), but there was a weak correlation to nighttime AUC(0-12) (r(2) = 0.424). Tacrolimus concentrations at 2, 3, and 6 hours after the morning dose (C-2, C-3, and C-6) had a good correlation against daytime AUG. The results of this study indicate that the variance on the clinical phormacokinetics of tacrolimus between daytime and nighttime in renal transplant patients is not significant, while the lower nighttime AUG corresponded to the occurrence of AR.
