Biopharmaceutics Flashcards
Study of pharmacotechnical factors in drug products that can affect pharmacokinetics of drugs
Biopharmaceutics
2 layers of phospholipid between two surface layers of proteins
Lipid Bilayer/Unit Membrane Theory
Globular proteins embedded in a dynamic fluid, lipid bilayer matrix
Fluid Mosaic Model
Proteins are embedded and are used as receptors and for transport
Modified Fluid Mosaic Model
Semi-permeable membrane, Selective barrier, Drugs can transport via several mechanisms
Cell Membrane
Mechanism of drug movement across the cell membrane
Transport
bile acids/salt
deoxycholic acid/chenodeoxycholic acid
Dominant transport mechanism but the slowest/No energy required
Passive Diffusion
Drug must be small and should be lipid- soluble/Movement along a concentration gradient
Diffusion
_____acids exists more in a non-ionized form in a more acidic
Weak
High Ka
1 x 10^-2
Low Ka
1 x 10^-3
Ratio of solubility of a drug in oil to its solubility in water
Partition coefficient
K partition
lipid solubility/water solubility
greater the solubility of a substance/higher the permeability of the membrane to that particular substance
Higher partition coefficient
Cell membrane CHON w/ specific binding sites and can undergo conformational change
Carrier-mediated transport
Transport which requires energy, in which can move against the concentration gradient
Active Transport
Transport which doesn’t require energy, it move along the concentration gradient and has specific carriers
Facilitated diffusion
Fastest transport system
Active Transport
Specificity/Selectivity
Carrier-mediated transport
Drugs that are Subject to
competition/inhibition/antagonism
▸ Isoniazid and Vitamin B6
▸ Digoxin and quinidine
Saturability of Carrier-mediated transport
Zero or First Order of Kinetics
Rate of reaction is independent of the concentration of the drug remaining
Zero Order
Rate of reaction is dependent of the concentration of the drug remaining
First Order
Time it takes for the drug concentration to decrease by 50%
Half life
Movement through water-filled pores = channels
Convective Transport
Convective Transport: Charge of pore lining
allows movement of ions w/ charge opposite of pore lining
Convective Transport: Movement is by solvent drag
ions move along the same direction as water
Convective Transport: Movement along an electrochemical gradient
Takes into consideration the net charge and the concentration gradient ions with greater concentration gradient will be the one to move
Describes the movement of transport of large ions
Ion-Pair Transport
Examples of exogenous large cation
▹Quaternary NH4 Compound ▹ Mucin
Invagination of a cell membrane
Vesicular Transport
2 Types of Vesicular Transport
Endo and Exocytosis
Release of drug from dosage form or drug product
Liberation
Factors that are inherent in the drug product as a consequence of formulation and quality that is built in the product
Pharmacotechnical
Motion or change in rate
Kinesis
Fate of drugs in the body/What the body does to the drug?
Pharmacokinetics
Metabolism + Excretion
Elimination
Distribution + Eliminitation
Disposition
Biochemical & physiological effects of drugs/MOA
Pharmacodynamics
