linear vs nonlinear processes
the rate of linear processes is: |
proportional to drug concentration
|
|
linear vs nonlinear processes
the nonlinear process: |
dose-dependent: the rate is not proportional to the drug concentration
time-dependent: the rate parameters depend on time |
|
causes of nonlinearity
dose-dependent |
- saturation of enzymes or carrier systems
- substrate(drug) inhibition of enzymes or carrier systems |
|
causes of nonlinearity
time-dependent |
- induction of enzymes
- changing pathophysiology - circadian rhythm |
|
pharmacogenomic considerations
the future role of personalized medicine is: |
to identify patients with low expression of critical enzymes, including enzymes that are easily saturated, by genomic profiling before the start of therapy
|
|
saturable proteins
absorption |
1. intestinal transporters: apparent ka decreased and ke~
2. intestinal efflux pumps: apparent ka increased and ke ~ |
|
saturable proteins
elimination |
3. metabolic enzymes (secretion transporters): apparent ka ~ but not as significant as previous and ke decreased
4. reabsorption transporters: apparent ka ~ but not as significant as previous and ke increase ** for 1-4: results are when saturated and compared to linear process with same dose |
|
plasma level vs dose
|
see pg 2 all slide
|
|
AUC vs dose
for linear AUC is: |
proportional to the dose
|
|
AUC vs dose
in nonlinear AUC- dose line deviates from linearity at higher doses |
positive deviation- causes 2 and 3
negative deviation- causes 1 and 4 see slides |
|
saturable kinetics
low drug concentration, first order: rate= |
vm/km * cp
|
|
saturable kinetics
high drug concentration, zero order: rate= |
vm
|
|
practice consideration
saturable processes lead to: |
elimination that is slower than expected for the given dose
