24
What is drug distribution dependent on
cardiac output, blood flow, capillary permeability, tissue volume
25
Redistribution of drugs
Rapid distribution to muscle and liver Slower distribution to adipose tissue
26
What carriers help drugs bind to plasma protein
albumin for acidic drugs a1-acid glycoprotein for basic drugs
27
Tissue binding
-Accumulate by active transport -Lipid soluble drugs stored in body fat
28
What drugs bind to bone tissue
Tetracycline and aminoglycoside antibiotics
29
Blood brain barrier
-composed of capillary endothelial cells -regulates distribution of chemicals to the brain membrane transporters (efflux and influx)
30
What glial cells are located where
BBB (includes astrocytes and microglia)
31
what cells separate cerebrospinal fluid from blood
epithelial cells
32
Phase 1 functionalization reactions
Introduce or expose functional groups Result in both active and inactive compounds Net result is water-soluble compounds that can be excreted into urine
33
Phase 2 biosynthetic (conjugation) reactions
-covalent linkage between functional group on drug -polar conjugates usually inactive and excreted rapidly
34
What is first order kinetics?
-constant fraction of drug is eliminated per unit time -drug metabolism proportional to plasma concentration
35
What is zero order kinetics?
-limited metabolic capacity -constant amount of drug metabolized per unit of time
36
some drugs alter metabolism of other drugs through
-induction of enzymes (increased expression of drug metabolizing enzymes) -inhibition of enzymes (blockade of drug metabolizing enzymes)
37
Glomerular filtration
only unbound drug filtered into tubular lumen from the blood
38
Active proximal tubular secretion
-ATP-binding cassette transporters secrete anions and metabolizes into tubular fluid -Other ABC transporters are more selective for organic cations or neutral substrates
39
Active distal tubular reabsorption
-From tubular lumen to systemic circulation by membrane transporters -most reabsorption is by nonionic diffusion
40
Renal excretion
concomitant reabsorption of non-ionized weak acids and weak bases, depends on pH
41
Biliary excretion
potential recycling through reabsorption from GI tract to systemic circulation
42
What is F (bioavailability)
fraction of a drug absorbed into the systemic circulation -depends on route of administration, absorption, metabolism, excretion
43
What is V (volume of distribution)
apparent space of body available to contain a drug based on amount given and concentration in systemic circulation -impact by plasma binding protein, age, gender, body composition
44
What is CL (clearance)
measures body efficiency in drug elimination -use in designing dosing regimens -can follow either first order or zero order
45
Steady State Concentration (Css)
Concentration achieved when intake of drug is in dynamic equilibrium with elimination of drug
46
Km and vm
Km is the concentration at which half max rate of elimination is reached vm is the max rate of elimination
47
Clinical pharmacokinetics parameters can be utilized to design dosing regimens
maintain plasma concentrations within therapy window maintenance doses can be adjusted loading doses used to achieve rapid onset

Passive diffusion
electrochemical potential gradient
65

Membrane SLC transporters facilitate diffusion
66
Primary active transport
ABC transporters hydrolyze ATP through intrinsic ATPase activity

68

The net flow of drugs from one compartment to another depending opinion the relative orientation and function of multiple transporters
