Important in carrying the absorbed drug to the systemic circulation

Perfusion of the GIT

"Kitchen sink phenomenon"

Gastric emptying time

Normal GET

2-3 hrs

Period required for swallowed drug to reach the stomach and eventually empties it into the small intestine

Gastric emptying time

Time required for drug to have sufficient time at the absorption site for optimum absorbtion

Transit time (residence time)

Normal peristaltic movements

Intestinal motility

Hydrolyses fat/lipid soluble substances

Bile

Law stating movement from high conc. to low conc.

Fick's law

Not governed by fick's law and is capacity limited

Transport by special carriers

Give 2 passive diffusion

Simple diffusion and convective absorption

Cell drinking

Pinocytosis

Give 2 transport by special carriers

Active transport and facilitated diffusion

Determines the extent of systemic absorption

AUCtotal

Bioavailability is equal to 1

Intravascular route

Cell eating

Phagocytosis

Bioavailability is less than 1

Extravascular route

Comparing the drug to standard administered by the same route

Relative availability

Provides warning of possibly toxic levels

Plasma concentration

Comparing the drug to the dose size administered

Absolute availability

Time required to decrease the initial dose of drug by 50%

Half life

The way in which the concentration of a drug affects the rate

Order

The velocity with which chemical reaction occurs

Rate

Determine the extent and rate of the reaction

Cmax

Curve in the log paper of zero order kinetics

Nonlinear

Is a mathematic description of a biologic system

Model

Group of tissues with similar blood flow and drug affinity

Compartment

Enhance or inhibit process

Allosteric

3 most important parameters that can be obtained from conc vs time curve

Peak concentration, peak time, total AUC

Process by which a drug is carried from extracellular space to interstitial space to tissue cells

Distribution

Is the vehicle bringing the drug molecule to and away from the membrane

Biological fluid

3 fluid compartment for pharmacokinetic considerations

Intravasal or intravascular fluid, interstitial fluid, intracellular fluid

Obtained from whole blood by removing the soluble protein fibrinogen

Serum

pH of extracellular fluids

7.4

Transported rapidly in the circulating blood then mixed between blood and tissue fluids

Extracellular fluids

The surface where the drug is distributed

Diameter

Are barriers between morphological and functional units

Membrane

Surface tension of membrane

Very low

Amount of blood delivered to different organs

Regional blood flow

Restricts permeation of more hydrophilic drugs into CNS

Blood brain barrier

Condition that will make the drug uptake into the brain enhanced

Meningitis

Normal cardiac output

2.2 to 3.5 or 4.5 L/min/m2

Duration of intravenous route

Short

Duration of intramuscular route

Long

What is the cause of blood flow accumulation

Protein binding (dose dumping)

Arterial end of the capillary is characterized by higher pressure, thus forces plasma and dissolved nutrients out of the capillary and into tissue fluid

Hydrostatic pressure (filtration

Drug combines with protein

Protein binding

Balance between opposing pressures in the body

Homeostasis

Binding to plasma proteins

Inert binding

Binding to tissue protein

Receptor binding

Help maintain blood volume and blood pressure

Homeostasis

2 functions of plasma proteins

Buffer function and transport function

What should be the dosage if the patient has acute inflammation?

Initial dose should be increased

What should be the dosage if the patient is undernutrition

Reduced dosage

Curve in the log paper in first order kinetics

Linear
