ADME Flashcards
Range between Minimum Effective Conc. and Minimum Toxic Conc.
Therapeutic Window
__ compounds can readily partition into fat tissue, becoming stored there
Lipid soluble
__ drugs commonly bind to Albumin
Acidic
__ drugs commonly bind to Globulins
Basic
Absorption describes
Rate at which a drug leaves its site of admin, and extent to which that occurs
Acidification of urine facilitates
Removal of Basic Drugs and Metabolites
Active Transport: exhibits saturation?
Yes
Alkalinization of urine facilitates
Removal of Acidic Drugs and Metabolites
At steady state, acidic drugs will accumulate on more __ side of membrane
Basic
At steady state, basic drugs will accumulate on more __ side of membrane
Acidic
Cause of drug accumulation in tissues often arises from
Active transport or binding
Concentration difference between Minimum Effect Conc. and Peak Plasma Concentration
Intensity of Oral Drug
Conjugated byproducts of drugs previously metabolized by liver may undergo hydrolysis back to parent in intestines, and be reabsorbed to liver by portal circulation
Enterohepatic Cycling
Diffusion Coefficient (D)
Inversely related to the size of the drug
Driving force for drug movement across membrane is
Concentration gradient of non-ionized rug
Drug binding to plamsa proteins is a ___ process
Saturable and Nonlinear
Drug types good for Percutaneous
Lipid soluble
Drugs are absorbed only when
Non-ionized
Effect of Enterohepatic Cycling on elimination
Decreases elimination rate
Facilitated Diffusion: exhibits saturation?
Yes
Falling Phase
(Met + Exc) > Abs
Fat soluble vitamins (ADEK) get in via
pinocytosis
Fick’s Law
*-DAK (dC) / dX
Formula for Vd
Amount of drug administered / Plasma drug concentration
Fractional extent to which a given dose of a drug reaches either its site of action or a biological compartment from which the drug has free access to its site of action
Bioavailability
Glomerular Filtration Rate is a ___ process
Passive and Nonsaturable
How does gastric emptying affect absorption
Increasing gastric emptying increases absorption
How is GFR often measured clinically
Clearance of Creatinine
How many ATP necessary for CYP
none
If dissolution is slow relative to absorption, then we are concerned with
dissolution
If drug is filtered, but not secreted or reabsorbed, renal clearance will be
120 ml/min
If drug is net reabsorbed, renal clearance will be
less than 120 mL/min
If Phase 1 metabolites are sufficiently polar, they
may be excreted in urine
If renal clearance is < GFR)
Net reabsorption
If renal clearance is >120 mL/min (CLr > GFR)
Tubular secretion must be contributing
If renal clearance is 120 mL/min (CLr = GFR)
Drug is filtered, but not secreted or reabsorbed
