Figure 3.2 Hypothetical age-dependent changes in the therapeutic margin.
EXAMPLES OF INCREASED TOXICITY
In the growing child, chronic treatment with corticosteroids impedes linear growth, and similar concerns have been expressed about stimulants such as amphetamine and methylphenidate used for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
62,63
Tetracycline antibiotics are not recommended for children younger than 8 years of age because they cause enamel dysplasia in developing teeth.64 The use of the fluoroquinolone antibiotics in children is limited because of potential toxicity to growing cartilage.
65
The incidence of metoclopramide-induced dystonias and bradykinetic reactions diminishes strikingly with maturation from ages 10 years to adulthood, whereas neuroleptic-induced akathisia is less common in children.66 Neuroleptic-withdrawal dyskinesias are also more common in children.9 This may be related to greater concentration of dopamine-2 receptors in the brain of young patients.12 Alternatively, the intensity of adverse effect maybe increased because of enhanced tissue sensitivity.
There are also examples of paradoxical responses reflecting the different roles that neurotransmitters, receptors, and hormones play in infancy and in the developed adult. Children younger than 1 year of age are more susceptible to respiratory depression from weight-adjusted doses of opioid drugs, which are generally safe in older children and adults. Codeine is now contraindicated in children under the age of 12 years, following the identification of cases of respiratory depression, including deaths when codeine was used as an analgesic for postoperative pain, general pain, and cough and cold.
67
Verapamil is used for the treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias in older children and adult patients. However, infants with supraventricular tachyarrhythmias appear to be at increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest. The neonatal myocardium appears to be especially sensitive to calcium-channel blockade with a relative deficiency of calcium channels compared with adult myocytes, predisposing to conduction block complications. In addition, the dynamics of calcium in excitation–contraction coupling are different in the immature fetal and neonatal heart to those in the older child and adult. Hence, blocking of calcium channels may have a pronounced negative effect on the intracellular calcium concentration responsible for contraction. Verapamil is not recommended for the treatment of acute arrhythmias in infants younger than 1 year of age.
68
Valproic acid is one of the anticonvulsants most commonly used in children. In rare cases, it can cause acute hyperammonemia associated with encephalopathy. Children younger than 5 years of age are at highest risk for developing this life-threatening adverse reaction, particularly if they are receiving concurrent therapy with other anticonvulsant drugs.

EXAMPLES OF DECREASED TOXICITY
Immaturity does not invariably predispose to increased risk of toxicity. Although infants and children may be more susceptible than adults to certain types of drug toxicity, there are important examples in which differences in drug disposition appear to result in decreased risk of toxicity in immature individuals.
Infants and young children appear to be less susceptible to ototoxicity and renal toxicity from aminoglycoside antibiotics compared with older patients.
71
This may be due, in part, to reduced intracellular accumulation of the aminoglycoside in renal tubular epithelial cells.
72
Hepatotoxicity from halothane is relatively rare in children, even following multiple exposures, whereas it is not uncommon in adults.73 The risk of isoniazid-induced hepatitis is age related.74 An incidence of 0 per 1,000 patients younger than 20 years of age was reported by the FDA, whereas the incidence was 23 per 1,000 in patients 50 to 65 years of age.75 It is usually unnecessary to routinely check liver function tests in children receiving isoniazid.
SUMMARY
The prepubescent child is clearly different from the newborn infant and the adolescent. From a pharmacotherapy perspective, the dynamic processes of growth and development create a moving target for the prescriber. The developmental changes in infants and children affect organ responses to both diseases and drugs. To employ, drug therapy across the population requires a thorough understanding of the PK–PD relationship. Hence, the key to successful drug therapy in children is to understand the age dependency of this relationship. This, in turn, requires that drugs are appropriately evaluated in

the pediatric population and that appropriate dosage regimens are designed to compensate for developmental changes.
Whereas the age dependency of PK processes such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are extensively studied and delineated for many commonly prescribed drugs, thus far, much less effort has been afforded to investigating the age dependency of PD responses. Similar efforts to increase and establish data on developmental PD are urgently required to achieve optimal drug therapy in children and to ensure long-term success of pediatric drug development. Key to such efforts is the availability of clinically relevant and validated, age-specific PD endpoints.
Sparsely reported experimental data from animal models provide some insight into developmental changes affecting the structure and function of receptors, cells, tissues, and organs and, therefore, some explanation for age­related differences in PD response. Though clinical study data are extremely limited, together with empirical data, there is convincing evidence from a number of therapy areas of altered efficacy in children. Also, children may be uniquely susceptible to some types of drug toxicity while being protected from other toxic mechanisms by their immaturity. Finally, it is also important to remember that structure and function of organ systems, particularly the developing brain, may be permanently affected by interaction of pharmacologic agents with receptors during early crucial phases of development. Therefore, the decision to use pharmacologic agents in young children must follow careful consideration of potential long-term impact.

Drug Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Transporters in Newborns and Children

INTRODUCTION
Between the time that a drug is prescribed and the time it elicits an effect in the human body, it will have encountered numerous physiologic processes that determine the extent to which it gets in, where it goes once it enters, and how it will be removed. Success in choosing the right drug at the right dose for the pediatric patient is best achieved by understanding how these processes influence the relationship between dose and exposure and, by extension, between exposure and response. For the vast majority of therapeutic agents administered to children, treatment focuses solely on the dose necessary to achieve a desired response (e.g., cure from infection). Yet, any provider will tell you that children administered the same weight-adjusted dose of a drug do not always respond in the same way. In many cases, this can be attributed to variations in systemic exposure that arise because of the unique constitution of each patient and their current stage of growth and development. In this chapter, we explore the physiologic drivers that influence absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and transport (ADMET) and describe the current state of knowledge as to how these processes change across the continuum of age. Prior to exploring these data, however, it is important to

comment on their strengths and limitations so as to ensure their interpretation in the most judicious manner possible.
The source of truth with respect to pharmacokinetic (PK) phenotype in children derives from carefully conducted pediatric clinical studies. Powered adequately, these studies can also confer insights into the role that demographic, pathologic, and environmental factors play in the disposition of the drug under investigation. Unfortunately, the relatively limited number of pediatric PK trials that are undertaken often requires us to predict pediatric exposures from preexisting adult PK data combined with nonclinical data generated in animal- or cell-based systems. Juvenile animal studies provide an avenue for predicting drug disposition in children, but caution is advised when extrapolating data from animals to humans. First, the overall physiology between animal models and humans can differ as can the developmental trajectory of key disposition processes1 (for a meaningful interpretation of animal studies, the developmental stages of selected animals relative to human are presented in Table 4.1). Second, interspecies differences occur for protein isoforms of various drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) and transporters.2 Despite these discrepancies, some animal models can provide important insights into age-dependent changes in plasma and tissue concentrations following drug administration.
Analogous De velopmental Stages Be tween Humans and Selecte d Animal Species
Research conducted in vitro in human tissues can also contribute to our understanding of pediatric drug disposition. Though largely devoid of ancillary physiologic influences, these models allow us to characterize developmental variations in the expression levels and activity of DMEs and transporters and to define the mechanistic basis behind intrinsic and extrinsic modulators of activity that may be present at discrete ages. Quantitation of
