16
Q
  • Measure the extent of drug absorption
  • Quantitatively ____ is decribed by?
A

AUC

17
Q

This can be used if the following criteria are satisfied

Urinary drug excretion

A
  • A significant fraction of the drug is excreted unchanged in the urine
  • Collection must be made over an interval representing at least six biological half lives of the drug
  • Effects due to variations in the urinary pH volume, on excretion rate must be minimized
  • Complete urine samples
18
Q

Considered to be the least accurate approach fro bioavailability determination and is the least sensitive to difference

A

Clinical Observation

19
Q

Bioavailability determination

Utilized if quantative measurement of the drug substance is not possible

Utilized for locally acting drugs; non-systemically absorbed drugs

Measure the effect over a period of time so that an effect time curve can be established

Significantly more variable than plasma/urine concentration determination

A

Acute Pharmacodynamic effect

20
Q

Drug substance/Drug product physical chemical issues

  • Drug substance has?
  • Dissolution rate is?
  • Partical size is known to be critical for adequate bioavailability
  • Certain forms dissolve poorly
  • The drug has a high ratio?
A
  • Low aqeous solubility
  • Dissolution rate is slow (<50% in 30 minutes
  • excipients to active ingredients
21
Q

Drug Biological issues

  • Specific formulation are ___ or interfere with absorption
  • The active agent is absorbed?
  • The degree of absorption is <__ as compared to IV
  • There is significant _______ so that the rate of absorption is unusually important for therapy
  • The drug is rapidly ____ so that rapid dissolution or absorption are required for effectiveness
  • The active agent is ____ in specific areas of the GI tract
  • The drug product is subject to _____ kinetics near the therapeutic range, thus?
A
  • required
  • in a particular part of the GI tract
  • 50%
  • pre-systemic metabolism
  • metabolized or excreted
  • unstable
  • dose-dependent, thus the rate and extent of absorption are important in establishing bioequivalence
22
Q

Crossover latin square design

A
  • Study wherein each subject serves as their own control
  • Example: each subject receives each formulation after a suitable washout period in a random fashion
23
Q

Latin Square Designs

  • Exposure and elimination aspects
    • Plan a clinical trial in that each subject?
  • Control aspects
    • Each subject is? What is reduced? So that all patients?
  • Reliably establish the [plasma] - time profile
    • Sample extent
    • Sampling timing
A
  • Receives each drug product only once, with adequate time between medications for the elimination of the drug from the body
  • Is his own control
    • Subject to subject variation is reduced
    • so that all pts do not receive the same drug product on the same day in the same order
  • After each subject receives a drug product, blood samples are collected so that a valid blood drug level-time curve is obtained
  • The time intercals should be spaced so that the peak blood concentratin, the total AUC, and the absorptin elimination phases of the curve may be well described
24
Q

Parameters used to establish a BCS class

A
  1. Equilibrium solubility as a function of pH
  2. Permeability measurements with an appropriate biological model
    1. In vivo perfusion studies
    2. In vitro perfusion (tissue)
    3. In vitro cell culture models
  3. Dissolution profile
