The percentage of methotrexate (MTX) binding to plasma protein was 50.4 +/- 1.9 in healthy subject, and 32.3 +/- 3.6 in patients with cancer (breast carcinoma in most cases). Drugs used in combination with MTX in therapy (vincristine, vinblastine, cyclophosphamide, 5-fluorouracil, prednisone) depress the MTX binding to albumins. MTX binds to two kinds of albumins binding sites, with different binding constants: K1 = 8.88 mM-1 and K2 = 1.76 mM-1.

Morphine binding was influenced by concentrations of albumin, AAG and morphine itself, but not by age, and was unaffected by pH in samples from patients.

The results support previous findings suggesting that PPI co-administration is associated with delayed elimination of plasma MTX in patients with HDMTX therapy and cannot be explained solely by the inhibitory effects of PPIs on BCRP-mediated MTX transport.

Malignant effusions were noticeable only in the disposition phase of MTX resulting in an apparent "third space" and the resulting increase in half-life may be associated with unanticipated toxicity.

The final model indicates that MTXCL was dependent on the change in the ratio between P1 and P3, DIS and creatinine clearance, and it is plausible that it reflects a function modified in response to the drug.

The aim of the research was to develop a preclinical brain distribution model, allowing the prediction of human brain target site concentrations on the basis of preclinical data, and understanding of time-dependent (also non-steady state) kinetics of the unbound drug in brainECF and CSF is essential.
