E1 L9: Bioavailability and Clearance 4: Flashcards
When fe is 0
Hepatic clearance is the same as renal clearance
What directional changes in AUCiv and CL are expected
Decrease clearance, and increased AUCiv
What directional changes in AUCpo and F are expected?
Decrease intrinsic decreased oral
Increased oral AUC
Q: Assuming 100% oral absorption, co-administration of an enzyme inducer with a low EH drug (Drug X) would:
A. Significantly increase F of drug X
B. Significantly decrease F of drug X
C. Significantly increase CLH of drug X
D. Significantly decrease CLH of drug X
C. Significantly increase CLH of drug X
Q: Assuming 100% oral absorption, co-administration of an enzyme inducer with a high EH drug (Drug Y) would:
A. Significantly increase F of drug Y
B. Significantly decrease F of Drug Y C. Significantly increase CLH of Drug Y
D. Significantly decrease CLH of Drug Y
B -significantly in decrease F of drug Y
Q: Assuming 100% oral absorption and fe = 0, co-administration of an enzyme inducer with a high EH drug (Drug Y) would:
A. Significantly increase Cl of Drug Y
B. Significantly increase CLpo of Drug Y
C. Significantly increase F of Drug Y
D. Significantly increase AUCiv of Drug Y
B. Significantly increase CLpo of Drug Y
Some drugs are eliminated unchanged in the urine. We can determine how much of a drug is excreted unchanged into the urine by collecting and analyzing urine concentration data
Renal excretion
Approx. - of cardiac output goes to the kidneys; of the volume - is filtered in the glomerulus; this is the Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (120ml/min)
20%; 10%
Only (bound/unbound) drug is filtered
Unbound
Over 90% of the filtered volume is reabsorbed in the
Renal tubules
Filtration occurs in the
Glomerulus
Filtration depends on
Molecular weight
and unbound drug concentration in plasma (fu)
Filtration equation
CLR = Fu * GFR
Secretion equation
CLR > fu * GFR
Reabsorption equation
CLR < fu * GFR
Drug A PK parameters are as follows:
CL: 500 ml/min
fu: 0.95
fe: 1
Q: T/F:
1. Hepatic metabolism is a major elimination pathway
2. T/F; Significant reabsorption occurs
False - Hepatic is not major, it is minor (Fe = 1)
False - when you compare clearance (fe is 1, means clearance is the same as renal clearance)
Occurs in proximal tubule
Secretion
T/F: secretion is an active carrier mediated process
True
Saturable; there are separate transporters for acids and bases from plasma into urine. In general, neutral drugs are not secreted
