1st order kinetics does high dose have a higher half life
no. half life and dose is independent. half life is a constant
what is the relationship between dose and plasma concentration? (1st order)
they are proportional, high dose will have a high plasma conc.
what is the effect of concentration on the rate of elimination? (1st order)
the plasma concentration is proportional to rate of elimination. the high the dose, the higher the plasma conc the faster the rate of elimination
what is the relationship between volume of distribution Vd and peak plasma concentration?
the lower the volume of distribution, the higher peak plasma concentration. Vd=Dose/Initial plasma conc.
what is the relationship between rate of elimination of the drugs with different volume of Vd?
the higher the Vd,the slower the rate of elimination.
explain how Vd affects half life of a drug?
- Vd is an apparent volume into which the drug appears to distribute to achieve a given conc. in the plasma
- the higher the Vd, the greater the proportions of drug that is distributed outside of the blood stream.
- thus, less in plasma and therefore, elimination proceeds at a slower rate giving a longer half life.
Vd is proportional to half life.
did dose affect the time for plasma conc. to fall to T1/2?
no
did Vd affect the time for plasma conc to fall to T1/2
yes
did clearance affect the time for plasma conc to fall to T1/2
yes
which parameter that T1/2 is dependent on?
Vd and Cl
which parameter that T1/2 is independent on?
DOSE
give a equation on T1/2 and Vd and Cl
T1/2= 0.693 x Vd/Cl
is clearance dependent on initial plasma conc.
no. independent
when is the rate of elimination fastest
first order kinetics
when is the rate of elimination slowest
when plasma conc. is lowest
when is the rate of elimination constant
always linear in 0 order kinetics, until the elimination enzyme is no longer saturated
can you determine the half life of 0 order kinetics
no. the time for plasma conc. to fall by 1/2 depends on conc. its no possible to determine
what is the relationship between rate of elimination and clearance ?
they are proportional, i.e. the slower the clearance the slower the rate of elimination.
for the i.v. bolus injection, why the decling phase is exponential? does it reach 0 eventually?
the concentration of the drug affect the rate of elimination. it will reach 0 eventually
if a drug is giving i.v infusion, what shape is the curve
the plasma concentration increases and reach plateau
if a drug is giving i.v infusion, why it plateau at the end
the rate of accumulation = the rate of elimination
what shape is i.v bolus ?
exponential decay
what shape is single oral dose
the Cp increases and reach plateau and then decrease
what shape is i.v bolus injection, saturable elimination
the plasma is at peak at the beginning and follow the 0 order kinetics. the Cp decreases linearly. when the enzyme is no longer saturated, it will decrease exponentially due to 1st order kinetics.
oral dose. what is rising, decline phase represent for? and plateau phase?
rising phase: the elimination is slower than absorption rate
decline: elimination is higher than absoption rate
plateau: elimination is equal to absorption rate
what is CYP3A4?
the major CYP in liver, work on statins, HIV protease inhibitors, benzodiazepines, calcium channel blockers
what inhibit CYP3A4
ritonavir, macrolide antibiotics, grapefruit juice, ketoconazole
what induce CYP3A4
rifampicin, anticonvulsants, St. John’s wort
what happen to drug if the CYP3A4 inihibited
decrease drug clearance, so T1/2 in the body and the maximal serum conc. are increased which lead to toxicity
what is clinical significan of CYP3A4 induction?
1, increased clearance of drugs metabolised by CYP3A4
2, diminished theraputic effects
3, decreased systematic exposure
what is CYP2D6?
a debrisoquine hydroxylase
what are the drug that CYP2D6 act on ?
codeine, tamoxifen, antiarrhythemics, tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), many antipsychotic drugs and beta adrenoceptor antagonists
which country shows the highest ultrarapid metaboliser for CYP2D6?
Ethiopians is the highest, chinese is the lowest
what country have the highest intermediate metaboliser for CYP2D6?
chinese have the highest, caucasian is the lowest
what are the major phase II enzymes
N-acetyltransferases, UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, Sulfotransferases and glutathione S-transferases
what functional group (4) does glucuronidation act on
and what is the name of this enzyme
- -OH
- -COOH
- -NH2
- -SH
UGTs (UDP-Glucuronosyltransferases)
