The effects of renal failure on the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine were investigated after intravenous, 30 mg/kg, and oral, 100 mg/kg, administration of the drug using a rat model of uranyl nitrate-induced acute renal failure (U-ARF). After intravenous administration to rats with U-ARF, the volume of distribution at steady state (1.97 vs. 2.56 l/kg) was significantly smaller, and the area under the blood concentration-time curve (348 vs. 296 microg h/ml) tended to be greater and total body clearance (0.0851 vs. 0. 102 l/h per kg) tended to be slower than those in control rats. After oral administration, the pharmacokinetic parameters were not significantly different between the control rats and rats with U-ARF, suggesting that U-ARF did not considerably affect the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine after oral administration.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
