t1/2 = 0.693/k

0.693/0.05 = 14 hr

18
Q

L5: Q1 Tolbutamide is a low EH drug, and its fe = 0. What would happen to the half-life of tolbutamide when it is combined with rifampin, an inducer of CYP2C9 expression?

A

Rifampin will increase CYP2C9 level, increase the rate of formation, increase clearance, increase K, =
t1/2 will decrease

19
Q

L5: What would happen to half-life of hydroxytolbutamide when tolbutamide is combined with rifampin, an inducer of CYP2C9 expression?

A

Decreased t1/2
Governed by formation

20
Q

L5: Shown is a graph of formation rate limited

T/F:

1.This is likely represents a kinetic profile of pro-drugs

  1. It demonstrates “metabolite formation rate-limited” kinetics
  2. The “true” t1/2 of metabolite (i.e. the t1/2 obtained after administration of metabolite, assuming its commercial availability) would be much shorter than t1/2 estimated from this graph
  3. This occurs when elimination rate of metabolite is faster than its formation rate
A
  1. False
  2. True
  3. True
  4. True
21
Q

L5: Shown is a graph that is elimination rate limited

T/F:

  1. This likely represents a kinetic profile of pro-drugs
  2. It demonstrates “metabolite formation rate-limited kinetics”

A

True
