ADMET Flashcards
Disposition
-Distribution and elimination (Metabolism and Excretion)
ADMET
-Absorption
-disposition (Distribution and elimination (Metabolism and Excretion)
-Toxicity
elimination
-removal of drug via metabolism and excretion
Toxicity
result of exposure
Plasma vs Time curves
can determine each phase of ADMET
Pharmacokinetic view
dresser (person) vs drawers (organs)
Sampling sites (exposure)
-blood, plasma, serum
-urine
Sites of delivery
-arterial
-venous
-SC,IM
-pulmonary
-oral
Elimination site
-gut metabolism
-exhalation
-hepatic metabolism
-fecal excretion
-renal excretion
Drug distribution
-dependent on physiochemical properties
-lipophillic vs hydrophillic
Lipophilic drugs
-partition into fatty tissues
Hydrophillic drugs
-partition into tissues where endothelium is permissive
Pharmacokinetic Process
-defined by concentration vs time profiles
-compartments represent kinetically similar tissues
-reversible or irreversible
-linear or nonlinear
-fast and slow processes tend to disappear
Differences in blood perfusion rates after drug distribution
-dictate organ distribution levels
Distribution Limitations
-perfusion rate
-permeability rate
-convection
-diffusion
Perfusion rate
-blood flow to tissues
Permeability rate
-membrane permeability
convection
-mechanism of transvascular transport
-pressure gradient
