What is clearance Cl is inversely proportional to
Half life | Drug concentration in the central compartment.
26
The most important clearing organs are
liver kidney Organ independent (Hoffman elimination and ester hydrolysis in the plasma)
27
To maintain a steady state concentration in the plasma,
the infusion rate or dosing interval must equal the rate of clearance by metabolism and elimination.
28
What is vital when calculating a continuous infusion or determining a dosing interval?
Clearance.
29
SS Rate of administration =
rate of elimination
30
What is the definition of steady state
When the amount of drug entering the body is equivalent to the amount of drug being eliminated from the body.
31
Steady state means that there is a
Stable plasma concentration.
32
Each of the compartment has_______When there is steady state.
Equillibrate , although the amount of total drug may be different in different compartments.
33
Steady state is achieved after _____ half times
five.
34
The steepest portion of the curve represents? What phase is that?
Redistribution from the plasma to the tissues. THIS IS CALLED THE ALPHA PHASE
35
The less steep portion of the curve represents
Elimination from the plasma. This is called the BETA PHASE
36
Mnemonic to remember curve dose response
D up E dow
37
The plasma concentration curve graphically depics the
Biphasic decrease of a drug's plasma concentration following a rapid IV bolus.
38
When we give a rapid bolus , the drug follows it
concentraton gradient fromthe central compartment (plasma) to the peripheral compartments (the tissues)
39
As a general rule, the more lipophillic:
the larger the Vd, and the steeper the slope.
40
As soon as a drug enters the plasma part of it
Redistributes based on the concentration gradient between the plasma and the tissues.
41
At the same time, some of the drugs in the plasma is
undergoing elimination
42
As concentration in the plasma continues to decline as a result of continued elimination, the concentration gradient
reverses and drug redistributes from the peripheral compartment and re-enters the central compartment.
43
The flatter slope (beta phase) represents
Drug elimination from the central compartment.
44
The alpha portion of the curve represents
Distribution called also T1/2 alpha
45
The beta portion of the curve represents
Elimination called also T1/2Beta
46
Rate constants communicate
The speed at which a reaction occurs (how fast molecules move between compartments)
47
K12 is the
rate constant for drug transfer from central to peripheral compartment
48
K21 is the
Rate constant for drug transfer from peripheral to central compartment
49
Ke is the
Rate constant for drug elimination from body
50
The 3 compartment model has multiples
``` VD tissue concentration Rate constants half lives clearances. ```
51
Elimination half life is the
time requires for a drug's plasma concentration to decline by 50 percent.
52
After four half lives have elapsed, the patient's serum will contain
6.25 % of the original dose.
53
Elimination half-LIFE is t
the time it takes for 50% of the drug to be removed from the body after a rapid IV injection
54
Elimination half-TIME is
time it takes for 50% of drugs to be removed from the plasma during the elimination phase.
55
When the rate of a drug removal from the plasma is not the same as the rate of drug removal from the body,
the elimination half life and half times will be different.
56
By convention, we say that a drug has been cleared from the body when
96.9% of the dose has been eliminated from the plasma. This occurs after 5 half times.
57
The half time measures a
Constant fraction and not a constant amount. (meaning it takes the same period of time for the plasma concentration of a drug to fall from 200 mg/L to 100mg/L as it does for the same drug to fall from 50mg to 25mg/L
58
Context sensitive half time takes what into account
The duration of the drug administration
59
Contect sensitive half time is the
Time required for the plasma concentration to decline by 50% after the infusion is stopped.
60
The context sensitive half time for a fentanyl infusion increases as function of
how long it was infused.
61
Explain the context sensitive half time for a fentanyl infusion
A longer infusion had more time to fill up the peripheral compartment, therefore more fentanyl has to be eliminated and will have a longer elimination half time.
62
Context sensitve half time of 3 opiods that are longer
Fentanyl alfentanil sufentanil
63
Context sensitve halft time of 1 opioids that is metabolized differently
Remifentanil. Even though it is highly lipophillic, it is quickly metabolized by plasma esterases

Which circumstance creates the strongest gradient for passage of LA from the mother to the fetus?
Maternal alkalosis | Fetal acidosis
95
Explain ion trapping of LA in the fetus.
Maternal alkalosis : Increases the unionized fraction in the maternal circulation; more LA is available to diffuse accross the placenta. Fetal acidosis: Increases the ionized fraction inside the fetus. this prevents the LA from crossing the placenta (back to the mother, thus trapping inside the fetus)
96
Fraction of a drug that will freely diffuse across the cell membrane? after what happens?
Unionized fraction. It will ionize according to its pKa and the pH of the solution on this side of the membrane. therefore the drug concentration as well as the degree of ionization will be different on each side.

145
If the body was unable to change a lipid soluble into a water soluble byproducet, the lipid soluble drug would be
continuously reabsorbed by the renal tubules into the pericapillary fluid and returned to the plasma. Drug would remain in the body for a very long time.
146

PRODRUG
147

177
Low ER and changes in hepatic enzyme activity
Changes in hepatic enzyme activity or protein binding have a profound impact on clearance of these drugs.
178
Alteration in liver blood flow minimally affect clearance with
drugs with LOW ER because only a small amount of drug is removed per unit time.
179
Changes in the liver's intrinsic ability to remove drug from the blood is influenced by
the amount of enzyme present.
