Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Lipids and lipoproteins have been shown to bind and neutralize endotoxin and to improve outcomes in animal models of sepsis. OBJECTIVE: To provide safety and pharmacokinetic data for a protein-free, phospholipid-rich emulsion developed as an agent to neutralize endotoxin, and to study the changes in lipids and lipoproteins following emulsion administration. METHODS: Thirty healthy male volunteers (aged 18-45 y) were given an emulsion containing 92.5% soy phospholipid, 7.5% soy triglyceride, and 18 mM sodium cholate using a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover protocol. Emulsion at 3 escalating doses (75, 150, 300 mg/kg) based on phospholipid content was administered by intravenous infusion over 2 hours in the low- and mid-dose groups and 6 hours in the high-dose group. RESULTS: All subjects completed the protocol without significant toxicities. A slight dose-dependent increase in indirect bilirubin at the 24-hour time point was observed in the emulsion treatment period, with a maximum difference between placebo and emulsion of 0.9 mg/dL. Mean +/- SD peak phospholipid levels were 316 +/- 30, 533 +/- 53, and 709 +/- 86 mg/dL, and phospholipid half-lives were 5.4 +/- 0.6, 5.4 +/- 0.5, and 8.0 +/- 0.8 hours for the low, mid, and high doses, respectively. Increases in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I and B levels were observed. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased immediately following emulsion infusion, but rebounded to above placebo levels by 24 hours. CONCLUSIONS: A unique phospholipid-rich emulsion was shown to have a favorable safety profile and to expand the blood lipid and lipoprotein pool without the use of human-derived blood products. Lipid levels expected to protect against the physiologic effects of bacterial endotoxin were achieved.
