Intro 7.5 - 10.5 Flashcards
PHARMACOKINETIC PRINCIPLES:
Inactive precursor. They need to be activated by passing through the liver
Prodrug
PHARMACOKINETIC PRINCIPLES:
Must be administered and converted to the active drug by biologic process inside the bodyz
Prodrug
PHARMACOKINETIC PRINCIPLES:
T/F: To reach its receptors and bring about biologic effect. A drug molecule (eg, sedative) must travel from the site of administration (eg, gastrointestinal tract) to the site of action (eg, brain)
True
PHARMACOKINETIC PRINCIPLES:
2 Movements of Drugs in the Body
Permeation
Water and Lipid Soluble Drugs
5 Permeation
- Movement of drug molecules into and within the biologic environment
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Movement of molecules through the watery
extracellular and intracellular spaces
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Aqueous diffusion
Occurs within the LARGER aqueous compartments of the body (eg: interstitial space, cytosol, etc.) and across epithelial membrane tight junctions and the endothelial lining of blood vessels
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Aqueous diffusion
The capillaries of the brain, testes, and some other tissues have no pores that permit aqueous diffusion.
○ They may also contain high concentrations of drug export pumps (MDR pump molecules).
○ Hence, they are protected or “sanctuary” sites from many circulating drugs.
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Aqueous diffusion
can permit molecules as large as MW 20,000 - 30,000
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Aqueous diffusion
Membranes of capillaries with small water filled pores. Passive process
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Aqueous diffusion
Driven by the concentration gradient of the permeating drug
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Aqueous diffusion
A downhill movement (Governed by Fick’s law)
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Aqueous diffusion
Aqueous diffusion:
Fick’s Law Formula
Rate = C1 - C2 x Permeability coefficient / Thickness x Area
C1 - higher conc
C2 - lower conc
Movement of molecules through membranes and other lipid structures
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Lipid diffusion
Most important factor for drug permeation because of the large number of lipid barriers that separate the compartments of
the body
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Lipid diffusion
Aside from Aqueous diffusion, it is also passive process and governed by Fick’s law
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Lipid Diffusion
Drugs transported across barriers by mechanisms
that carry similar endogenous substances: Amino acid, peptides, glucose
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Transport by special carriers
Special carrier molecules function for:
- substances important in cell function;
- too large or too insoluble in lipids to diffuse passively through membranes ○ eg: peptides, amino acids, and glucose.
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Transport by special carriers
Capacity is limited and not governed by Fick’s law
○ Aqueous diffusion
○ Lipid diffusion
○ Transport by special carriers
○ Endocytosis
○ Exocytosis
Transport by special carriers
