Drug Disposition- ADME Flashcards
What is drug disposition
the study of the movement of drugs across biological membranes in the body from the time of absorption until elimination.
what does ADME stand for?
Absorption/Distribution/Metabolism/Elimination
the higher the lipid solubility…
the easier/ faster it can cross cell membranes
non-ionized molecules cross…
lipid membranes more easily / more mobile
The what of a weak acid or base determines in what pH the substance will be ionized
the pKa
what does it mean when the pKa = pH
the drug is 50% ionized
acidic drugs are ionized in what type of environments?
Basic (alkaline, high pH)
Basic drugs are ionized in what type of environments?
acidic environments (low pH)
weak acid equals…
NI / I
weak base equals…
I / NI
antilog -3 equals?
Antilog 3 equals
-3 = 1/1000 or 0.001 3 = 1000/1 or 100
Antilog -2 equals?
Antilog 2 equals?
-2 = 1/100 or 0.01 2 = 100/1 or 100
Antilog -1 equals?
Antilog 1 equals?
-1 = 1/10 or 0.1 1 = 10/1 or 10
antilog 0 equals?
1
membranes are more permeable to?
non-ionized forms of drugs (lipid) soluble and no electric charges) than to ionized forms
