Distribution Flashcards
refers to the reversible transfer of drug from one location to another within the body.
Distribution
Factors Affecting Distribution (5)
- Regional blood flow
- Capillary permeability
- Physicochemical properties of the drug
- Protein binding
- Volume of distribution
Regional blood flow
(Rate of distribution)
- Give 4 highly perfused organ that increases the drug distribution
Brain
Heart
Liver
Kidney
Regional blood flow
(Rate of distribution)
Give 3 slow perfused organ that decreases the drug distribution
Fat
Tissue
Skin
(Factor) It is the ability to pass through capillary and enter to tissues
Capillary permeability (volume of blood )
What are the 2 junction types or capillary permeability
Discontinuous
Continuous
junction type of capillary permeability that:
—- has spaces in between
—- easily pass through
Discontinuous
Ex. Organ that has discontinuous type
Liver
—— fast distribution (1st factor)
—— easily pass through (2nd factor)
Ex. Organ that has discontinuous type
Liver
Ex. Organ that has continuous type
Brain (BBB - walls of capillary)
—— fast distribution (factor 1)
—— not easily pass through (factor 2)
junction type of capillary permeability that:
—- w/o spaces in between
—- do not easily pass through
Continuous
Ex. Of drugs that passes through continuous type
LUNA - passes through BBB
Super lipophilic
Ex. 1st gen. Antihistamines
Effect: sedative
What are the 2 factors under physicochemical properties of drug.
Molecular weight
Solubility
Physicochemical factors (molecular weight)
- give ex. Of VERY large molecule (upto 2000kDa)
- it stays at_____
Dextran
- Plasma
Physicochemical factors (molecular weight)
- give ex. Of large molecule (5-30 kDa)
- it stays at_____
Heparin
- extracellular space
Why High MW - X Pass through cell membrane ?
Because of large structure
(Solubility)
Hydrophilic, ionized drug stays at_____
Extracellular fluid(space)
