what are the 4 factors involved with pharmakokinetics
1. Absorption
2. Distribution
3. Metabolism
4. Excretion
are all phases of pharmacokinetics occuring simoultaneously (ADME)
yep, but obviously after we first take a drig absorption and distribution will prevail (plasma conc increases) whereas some time after taking the drug there will be more metabolism and excretion going on
how can we represent pharmacokinetic profile of a drug? what can this curve tell us?
by the plasma conc of a drug (if its excreted by kidney we can also use urine)

**from this we can determine
-[plasma] at time 0
-Vd, volume of distribution
-t1/2, half life
-CL, clearance
-AUC, area under curve
what are some ways a drug can be absorbed
1. GI from oral drugs
2. Lungs from inhaled drugs
3. Blood from IV drugs
what about some ways the drug can be distributed
from the liver (if the drug was abs orally and went to GI) and BV
what are some ways drug can be excreted
poo
pee
lungs, breath it out
are K channels open or closed
always open
can drugs just enter cells?
nope (well some can, lipid soluble)

1. Water soluble drugs passively diffuse in ion channels

2. Lipid soluble passively diffuse across PM

3. Carrier proteins can do active and passive transport
how does the composition of the cells in the GI and BV affect how drugs can enter/exit these areas. where are the larges pores
int eh GI we have TJ so only super super small drugs will pass

in BV we have large fenestrea so drugs can pass much more readily

largest pores in glomeruli, important for drug excretion

**areas in brain with pores: pineal, pituitary, choroid plexus, median eminence, area postrema
we know most of the brain has BBB, are there areas where this is less than perfect and drugs can get to the brain
large pores in...

1. pitutary

1. aqueous diffusion
2. carrier mediated: facilitated diffusion/active transport
3. lipid diffusion
4. Vesicular transport/Transcytosis

**bottom line in order for the drug to do its job it needs to penetrate the membrane and enter the cell
describe lipid diffusion
simple diffusion of lipid soluble drugs

**driven by conc grad
**slow
**non saturable


**weak acids cross best in acidic environemnts
**weak bases cross best in basic

**drug neds to have some water solubility to get to the membrane in the first place
in what tissues is active transport used
1. hepatocytes
2. neurons
3. renal tubule
4. choroid plexus

**specific, saturable, competition, energy requirement, agaisnt gradient, fast
describe active transport
fast
uses E to move things against its conc grad
specific
saturable
can be competition for binding

**seen in hepatocytes, neruons, choroid plexus, renal tubule
describe facilitated diffusion
passive movement with the help of a carrier, goes with conc grad

**sugar, aa, purines, pyrimidines, and Ldopa transported this way
how is L dopa transported across a cell membrane
facilitated diffusion

**carrier mediated passive
describe vesicular transport
used for really big drugs

**cell engulfs the protein
what mode of transport is used to get big drigs into a cell
endocytosis/vesicular transport
whats the key principal behind all of these cellular transprort mechs
the drug has to permiate many barriers to reach its receptor
if you take L dopa and it works in the brain how does it get there?
has to pass:
- GI cells (water layer, TJ, cell walls)
-capillary cells of the gut
-BBB
-capillaries of the brain

**lots of barriers to pass throuhg
what equation describes the extent of ionization of a drug
henderson hasselbach

pH= pKa + log (A-/HA)

pKa= pH where 50% disassociated
what is pKa
its the pH when 50% of drug is disassociated

can use henderson hasselbach
pH=pKa + log (A-/HA)

**important bc we know drugs pass membranes more readily when they are NOT ionized
so drugs are either acids or bases and will have different degrees of ionization as they pass through the fluids of the body which are at dif pH's. how can we determine the extent of ionization
Henderson Hasselbach

pH= pKa + log (A-/HA)

pka= pH when 50% ioized
we know the HH is pH= pKa + log (A-/HA) this works really nice for acids, what about bases
pH= pKa + log (B/BH+)
what sthe pH

Gastric Juice
Duodenum
Ileum
Lg Intestine
Plasma
CSF
Urine
Gastric Juice: 1-3

2. Ampicillin
3. Acetemenophen
4. Sulfadiazine
5. Phenobarbital
6. Furosemide
7. Warfarin

**they will be less ionized when they are in an acid and so are more lipid soluble in an acid

1. Amphetamine
2. Clonidine
3. Coccaine
4. Codeine
5. Diazepam
6. Ergotamine
7. Epinepherine
8. Lidocaine

**these will be non ionized in a base and so are more lipid soluble
how does pH affect the distribution of drugs
each drug has its own pKa and pH and so will be more or less soluble in the differnt environemnts of the body

**an acidic drug will be more soluble inthe stomach and a basic will be more soluble in the intestines
a weak acid drug in a weak acid environment is ____ lipid solible and so it ____ absorbed
highly
readily
what happens to a basic drug that is in an acidic environment
it will become ionized and unable to pass membranes and so is trapped
what can be said about drugs that are strong acids or strong bases
they are always ionized and so arent lipid soluble and need to be transported into and out of cells with something other than lipid diffusion
so if we have taken too much salicylates (acidis) how can we get them out
make pee alkaline (basic)by giving bicarb

??? not totalyl sure how this works
is dose standard
nope, the Dose is the amt of drug needed to have the desired effect

**dose is individualized based on maturation of organ fx, age of pt, Organ pathology (liver or kidney)
wht is abs
its the way drugs gets into teh blody fluids (blood) that will move it around
what things affect absorption
1. Solubility
2. Dissolution
3. Conc
4. Blood Flow
5. surface that is absorptin it
6. pH
7. Contact time
what is... and how does it affect absorption

solibility?
dissolution?
Concentration?
Solubility: drugs in aq soln are abs better than drugs in oily or solids

Dissolution: things in tablets need to dissolve first, this can vary in pts and so absorption can vary among pts

3. higher conc are absorbed easier
how does blood flow affect abs
increased BF increased BF

**massage or heat will increase BF

**mm get more BF than CT adn so abs is higher in mm
how does epi affect drug abs
epi constricts so blood flow decreases and absorption is decreased

**shick, cold compress, disease will all slow absorption
what does absorbing surface have to do with rate of absorption
increased surface, increased abs

*things like the lungs and liver and intectines are large and abs faster
how does pH affect absorption
pH determines if things are ionized or not. the non ionized form absorbs
where is a great example of drug abs increasing bc of duration
sm intestine

**in the small intestine drugs stay around for a long time adn tehre is a lrage surface area so lots of abs occurs here
is abs of an oral drug 100%
almost never

**the amt of drug at the site of activation is called bioavailibility
what is bioavailibility
the amt of ACTIVE drug available at the site of action

**remember not 100% of a drug taken orally is absorbed
in what type of administration is there 100% bioavailability
for IV drugs

**the bioavailibility/abs of a drug given oral or rectal is not 100%
how is bioavailability calculated?
AUC oral/rectal
_______________
AUC iv
the bioavailability of a drug is the amt of ACTIVE drug at the site of action: it is the summary result of
1. decomposition/inactivation of the drugs in the intestine

2. degree of absorption

3. metabolism in the gut or liver

4. Transport of the drug by p glycoproteins back into the lumen of hte gut
what is teh first pass effect
initial metabolism of a drug while passing through the gut/liver

**morphine is orally abs at almost 100% BUT it is metabolized by the liver so its bioavailability is only like 33% High extraction ratio/high first pass effect
is all of what is absorbed bioavailable
NOPE!

first pass effect: the drug may be metabolized as it initially passes through the gut and liver
what are some examples of drugs with high first pass rates and what does it mean
high first pass rate (high extraction ratio) means that a lot of the drug is metabolized after absorption. abs and bioavailability dont match

Ex
morphine
lidocaine
meperidine
propranolol
labetalol
verapamil
INH
Imipramine
what are some drugs with a lot extraction ratio (low first pass(
not lots of the drug is metabilized in teh GI adn liver. absorption and bioavailability are pretty simliar

digitoxin
phenytoin
theophylline
tolbutamide
chlorpropamide
diazepam
linezolid
so drugs like morphine, lidocaine, verapamil, and propanolol have a high first pass rate, what are the clinical implications of this
lots of variation of [plasma] in patients
due to variation in hepatic function/hepatic blood flow

**eliminate these effects by giving drug IV, IM, sublingual, rectal, topical, transderma, inhaled etc

pH, normal flora, the liver, and enzyme actitity are all things that can affect which type of drug administration
oral
how does gastric emptying time affect PO drugs
delayed gastric emptying will inhibit absorption
why take drugs on empty stomach
so they dont bind to food and hace decreased absorbance
what are slow relase drugs, what are some pros and cons
slow uniform abs of drug

**good bc it can maintain a steady plasma conc, decreased administration and increase pt compliance,

**UNFORTUNATLY: abs is erratic/irregular with these
are slow relase drugs the way to go?
noep they often have erratic absorption
what are some common paraenteral administrations of drug
1. IV: direct, bypass absorption, easier to dose. dont use oily drugs here

2. IM: good abs here, can interefere with dx tests

3. Subcutaneous: slower abs, hyularaniase helps abs. used for solid pellets

good
-large dose to a certain organ
what sthe good and bad of inhaled drugs

-drug can target the airway itself (asthma)

bad
-local adn systemic allergies
-entry of toxins
where are topical meds used
skin
eyes
nose
throat
vagina

**these lead to systemic absorption adn local absorption

Clonidine- BP
how can the eye be used to abs drugs
topical drug for local effects
tell me about sublingual drugs
self administered drugs that are screwed by first pass

**high blood flow in mucosa, abs into systemic veins, NOT the portal vein, slower abs bc of small surface area
if a drug is screwed by the first pass effect how can it be administered instead
any paraenteral, sublingual
why do rectal drug?
-if you barf
-if your unconscious
-it wont pass the liver :)

BUT
abs is often irregular/incomplete and can irritate the rectal mucosa
do rectal drugs experience the first pass effect
nope, dont enter portal circulation, enter systemic circulation

- passive diffusion of lipid soluble drugs and basic drugs
whats this called?

a drug initially is distributed to places with high BF like the brain, then it goes to the fat and is released from fat slowely.

what drugs do this
redistribution of of drugs

**common in thiobarbituates
what is first order drug elimination

what is zero order drug elimination
first: constant PROPROTION of drug is eliminated per unit time. elimination depends on initial conc (100 --> 50 --> 25 ---> 12.5 etc)

zero: constant amt is eliminated in a unit time (100--> 90 --> 80 --> 70 etc) elimination is saturated
what is the rate limiting factor in a 1st order and 0 order elimination
1st: initial conc (constant proportion is eliminated)

0: biological system (constant amt). independent of initial conc

clearance relates what variables

Systemic clearance is the sum of what
Cl= proportionality constant that related rate of drug elimination and plasma conc

Systemic clearance is the sum of: renal, hepatic, and lung clearance
plasma conc of a drug and its rate of elimination are related by what parameter
clearance

CL = Vd x Kel (Kel is elimination constant)

CL= Vd x (0.693/t1/2)
what are 2 clearance equations
CL = Vd x Kel

CL = Vd x (0.693/t1/2)

*clearance is the ability of the body to remove a drug
*clearance is a proprotionality constant that relates rate of drug elimination and plasma conc of that drug
what is teh elimination order of most drugs?
most are 1st order, elimination depends on the initial conc

BUT there are some drugs like EtOH that have saturable elimination systems and are 0 order, elimination is constant
how are Kel Cl and Vd releated?

body is single compartment
drug distributes equally
drug is in equilibrium
First Order Kinetics is an ______ process, there is a ______ fraction eliminated in a given time

Zero order kinetics is an _______ process, there is a _________ fraction eliminated in a given time
First order: exponential process, constant FRACTION eliminated

Zero: non exponential process, constant AMOUNT eliminated
how many half lives does it take to see a steady state condition/concentration after repetetive dosing
5
how is the steady state concentration related to the: dose, clearance nad t1/2
Css is directly proportional to dose adn t 1/2

Css is inversely proportional to the clearance
what factors affect the time to reach the steady state condition (after multiple doses of drug is given)

**note, steady state CONDITION, not concentration
it takes 5 half lives to reach Css

Css is reached faster with increased dose and t 1/2 and decreased clearance
is clearance constant for most drugs
yes
ok so the steady state [CONC] happens when the steady state conditions is achieved in the course of repetitive administration. when else can we have a steady state concentration
loading dose that is maintained with maintanience doses given

**steady state happens when elimination equals dosing (Dose= Cl c Css)

ultimate repetetive administration is infusion
why is 5 t 1/2 such a popular number
1. its the time needed to get steady state plasma levels of drug

2. takes this long to eliminate most of the drug after the last dose of drug

**true for 1 order drugs
is the time that it takes to reach a steady state related to the soze of the dose
nope

5 t1/2 to reach steady state plasma level of drug

**true for 1st order drugs
what happens to the steady state con when you decrease the dosing interval of a drug?
increased

**when the dosing is stretched out the steady state conc is decreased

**true for 1st order drugs
what are some clinical implications of 0 order drugs?

*reach saturable levels and have a constant amt of drug excreted over time
1. dont reach steady state levels
2. drugs given in doses higher than their excretion rate will build up in tha plasma and be toxic
what order drugs reach steady state conditions when given repete doses
first order

**0 order drugs dont do steady states
whats a maintenance dose
the amt of drug needed to maintain steady state plasma levels

**its equal to the amt of drug eliminated from teh body since the last dose

**given at selected intervals
if you loose 8 g of a drug over 6 hours and then replace it by giving 8 g 6 hours later what is this
maintence dose

**it bring a drug to a steady state level
when is accumulation of drug equal to elimination of drug
at steady state

dosing rate=Elimination = CL x TC/F

CL- clearance
TC- Desired target Conc
F- bioavailability (1 if IV admin)
CL x TC / F=

r- dosing interval
F- bioavailability
what is the maintience dose?

body eliminates 0.1 mg of drug A in 24 hrs. What is maintence dose
(CL X TC/ F) x dosing interval(r)

**recall CLxTC/F is the dosing rate

maintaince is 0.1 mg, its the amt that was eliminated
what is the maintience dose

TC- 10 mg/L
CL- 2.8L/h/70kg
IV admin
1st find dosing rate
Dosing Rate= CL X TC/F (F-1 bc IV)
