CA1 concepts Flashcards
Plasma is treated with _______
Anti-coagulants; fibrinogen present
Serum contains _______
coagulants; fibrinogen absent
Normally, fu is ______
a constant
Which ROA doesn’t have systemic absorption?
IV
How does the enterohepatic cycle work (which organs are involved)?
Bile –> gall bladder –> SI –> back into circulation
Elimination is reversible or irreversible?
irreversible
What is permeability rate limit absorption?
Dissolution»_space; Absorption
What is dissolution rate limit absorption?
Absorption»_space; Dissolution
Fick’s Law; CGI»_space; CP to create ________
sink condition
Which properties of drug are favourable?
- smaller and more lipophilic
- paracellular <350g/mol
- if too lipophilic, poorer aq solubility, greater propensity to bind to memb transporters
What is GER?
Controls onset along with rate of absorption
What is intestinal motility?
the residence time of dosage form in SI
How do we change GER for Permeability- rate limited absorption?
Slow down GER (decrease GER) to compensate poor permeability
How do we change GER for dissolution-rate limited absorption?
Slow down GER, to allow more time for complete dissolution
What happens to GER with food?
slow down, dec GER
What happens to GER with solutions/suspensions VS chunks of food?
soln/suspensions: faster GER
chunks: slower GER
Which drugs slows down GER?
Anti-cholinergic drugs, nacrotic analgesics
Which drugs increases GER?
Metoclopramide
Which units affects rate of abs?
Cmax, Tmax
Which units affects extent of abs?
Cmax, AUC
Location of apical memb
Towards lumen of gut
Location of basolateral memb
towards vilious blood
What is FF, FG, FH?
FF - enters intestinal tissue (gut lumen)
FG - enters portal vein (gut wall)
FH - reaches liver
Does systemic abs happens at IM and SC sites?
yes
Drugs abs in solution from IM and SC are what type of rate-limited?
Perfusion rate limited
What are the assumptions for C/Cb?
- Binding to RBC is not saturated. If saturated, non-linear relationship btw C and Cb observed
- Distribution equilibrium of the free drug in plasma and drug in RBC is established (KP rbc)
what should we take note of the pH-partition hypothesis?
only unbound and unionised drugs permeate the memb via passive transcellular pathway
What do we take note of passive facilitated diffusion?
- they are equilibrating transporters
- no ATP; unbound drug conc equal at equilibrium
- maximum transport, substrate specificity and inhibition
What to take note for active transport?
- they are concentrating transporters
- ATP
- influx and efflux transporters
- at GIT, liver, kidney
Why do some drugs have low logP but BBB permeability is high?
- substrates of uptake transporters
- relatively small molecule, low MW
Why do some drugs have high logP but BBB permeability is low?
- substrates of efflux transporters (e.g. PGP)
- relatively large molecule, high MW
What are some factors affecting distribution?
- Rate of distribution?
- Perfusion rate limited
- Permeability rate limited
What does higher KPB stands for?
takes more time for the drug to distribute a lot more into the fats to reach distribution equilibrium, despite KPB is higher
What are the assumptions we need to take note for extracellular water / volume of distribution?
this assumption is when V = 42 L
- no binding of drug to plasma and tissue proteins
- drugs are not a substrate of influx and efflux transporters
Properties of acidic drugs:
- bind to albumin (high affinity) and low binding affinity for tissue proteins
- tend to have small V <1L/kg
Properties of basic drugs:
- bind to a1-AGP; albumin; lipoproteins
- extensive tissue protein binding and other sequestration mechanisms
- high V >1L/kg
