Time it takes for amount of drug to fall to half of its value, constant in first order kinetics (majority of drugs)
|
Half-life (T1/2)
|
|
Relates the amount of drug in the body to the plasma concentration
|
Volume of distribution (VD)
|
|
Plasma concentration of a drug at a given time
|
Cp
|
|
The ratio of the rate of elimination of a drug to its plasma concentration
|
Clearance (CL)
|
|
The elimination of drug that occurs before it reaches the systemic circulation
|
First pass effect
|
|
The fraction of administered dose of a drug that reaches systemic circulation
|
Bioavailability (F)
|
|
When the rate of drug input equals the rate of drug elimination
|
Steady state
|
|
This step of metabolism makes drug more hydrophilic and hence augments elimination
|
Phase I
|
|
Different steps of Phase I
|
Oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis
|
|
Inducers of Cytochrome P450 (CYP450)
|
Barbiturates, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and rifampin
|
|
Inhibitors of CYP450
|
Cimetidine, ketoconazole, erythromycin, isoniazid and grapefruit
|
|
Products of Phase II conjugation
|
Glucuronate, acetic acid, and glutathione sulfate
|
|
Constant percentage of substrate metabolized per unit time
|
First order kinetics
|
|
Drug elimination with a constant amount metabolized regardless of drug concentration
|
Zero order kinetics
|
|
Target plasma concentration times (volume of distribution divided by bioavailability)
|
Loading dose (Cp*(Vd/F))
|
|
Concentration in the plasma times (clearance divided by bioavailability)
|
Maintenance dose (Cp*(CL/F))
|
