Doripenem is a parenteral carbapenem antibiotic with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. A pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of a 1-h intravenous (i.v.) dose of 500 mg doripenem in ten clinically ill, elderly patients with nosocomial pneumonia (NP) was conducted. Concentrations of unchanged doripenem were measured in plasma using a validated liquid chromatography method coupled to a tandem mass spectrometry assay. Geometric means of maximum plasma concentration, area under the plasma concentration-time curve over the dosing interval at steady state, time to reach maximum plasma concentration, and terminal elimination half-life for 500 mg doripenem as a 1-h infusion were 22.40 mu g/mL, 57.02 mu g h/mL, 1.0 h and 1.89 h, respectively. In addition, a population PK analysis was performed to examine the influencing factors on the pharmacokinetics of doripenem and to estimate the time above minimum inhibitory concentration (T > MIC) by a post hoc Bayesian estimation. The effect of creatinine clearance was the most significant covariate on doripenem clearance. The estimated %T > MIC against a MIC of 2 mu g/mL exceeded 40% in all patients. In the treatment of NP in elderly patients, a 1-h i.v. dose of 500 mg doripenem three times daily may provide a favourable antimicrobial effect against bacteria with MICs up to 2 mu g/mL and would therefore be a treatment option for NP.
