However, pharmacological data on simultaneous serum vs. CSF and intraparenchymal nimodipine values are rarely reported in larger patient groups. Nimodipine concentrations were determined in plasma, CSF, and cerebral interstitial fluid (ISF), at steady state after oral (6\u2009\u00d7\u200960\u2009mg\/day) and intravenous (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2\u2009mg\/h) administrations in 10 patients after aSAH. Area under the concentration time curve (AUC<jats:sub>0\u201324<\/jats:sub>) for intravenous nimodipine was highest at an infusion rate of 2\u2009mg\/h in plasma (1335.87\u2009\u00b1\u2009591.09\u2009mg*h\/L), followed by CSF (39.53\u2009\u00b1\u200923.07\u2009mg*h\/L), resulting in an overall CSF penetration ratio of 3.8% (\u00b11.5) (AUC<jats:sub>CSF<\/jats:sub>\/AUC<jats:sub>plasma<\/jats:sub>). In contrast, nimodipine levels were significantly lower in both plasma (AUC<jats:sub>0\u201324<\/jats:sub> 298.32\u2009\u00b1\u2009206.52\u2009mg*h\/L) and CSF (AUC<jats:sub>0\u201324<\/jats:sub> 34.8\u2009\u00b1\u200916.56\u2009mg*h\/L) after oral administration. In cerebral ISF, low amounts of nimodipine were detectable in only 4 patients at an infusion rate of 1.5 and 2\u2009mg\/h as well as following oral administration. We found significantly higher CSF nimodipine levels in patients during intravenous compared to oral administration. In contrast, only low amounts of nimodipine were detected in the ISF after both oral and intravenous administration. Our findings strongly suggest that the main clinical nimodipine effect of impeding life threatening cerebral ischemia is mediated through significant higher CSF levels after intravenous administration, more likely effective than oral administration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cpt.3499","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,19]],"date-time":"2024-11-19T12:19:33Z","timestamp":1732018773000},"page":"589-597","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Cerebral
