description | The bidirectional pulsatile movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), instead of the traditionally believed unidirectional and constant CSF circulation, has been demonstrated. In the present study, the structure and parameters of the CSF compartments were revisited in our comprehensive and validated central nervous system (CNS)-specific, physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of healthy rats (LeiCNS-PK3.0). The bidirectional and site-dependent CSF movement was incorporated into LeiCNS-PK3.0 to create the new LeiCNS-PK“3.1” model. The physiological CSF movement rates in healthy rats that are unavailable from the literature were estimated by fitting the PK data of sucrose, a CSF flow marker, after intra-CSF administration. The capability of LeiCNS-PK3.1 to describe the PK profiles of other molecules was compared with that of the original LeiCNS-PK3.0 model. LeiCNS-PK3.1 demonstrated superior description of the CSF PK profiles of a range of small molecules after intra-CSF administration over LeiCNS-PK3.0. LeiCNS-PK3.1 also retained the same level of predictability of CSF PK profiles in cisterna magna after intravenous administration. These results support the theory of bidirectional and site-dependent CSF movement across the entire CSF space over unidirectional and constant CSF circulation in healthy rats, pointing out the need to revisit the structures and parameters of CSF compartments in CNS-PBPK models. |
