Q

as mentioned, when measuring partition coefficient, it is assumed that there is a single species of the drug partitioning between the lipid and aqueous phase.

what is an important consideration about this?

A

most drugs are weak acids or weak bases and the number of different species and their concentrations will VARY with pH

unionized (neutral), zwitterions (neutral), and charged (positive or negative ions) species may be present depending on the pH

Q

the partition coefficient of neutral drugs is equivalent to its ________.

why?

A

for neutral drugs, partition coefficient is equivalent to its distribution coefficient.

this is because a neutral drug does not ionize and contains a SINGLE SPECIES, regardless of pH

Q

which is more relevant to predict drug permeability and aqueous of weak acids and bases and why? – partition coefficient or distribution coefficient?

21
Q

true or false

the percent ionization does not vary with pH for weak acids and bases

A

FALSE - it does vary for weak acids and bases

22
Q

is the distribution coefficient higher for ionizable drugs or nonionizable drugs?

explain

A

the distribution coefficient is higher in nonionizable drugs.

this is because for ionizable drugs, a fraction of the drug is ionized at biological pH and does not partition into the lipid phase

23
Q

what has to exist in order to predict the distribution coefficient at a specific pH using the hendersen hasselbach equation?

A

-if only the non-ionic species partitions in the lipid phase

-the partition coefficient for the free form is known

24
Q

the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation expresses the relationship of…..

A

pka, the ratio of the acid:conjugate base and the pH

25
Q

write the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

A

pH=pka + log (base/acid)

26
Q

the partition coefficient value of acid and basic drugs is affected by what 3 things? (besides % ionization)

A

pH, intrinsic solubility in the organic solvent, solvent volume

27
Q

the _______ the solubility of a drug in a solvent, the better the extraction efficiency in that solvent

A

the MORE soluble the drug is in the solvent, the better the extraction efficiency in that solvent

28
Q

how do you get the most effective extractions?

A

several smaller extractions are more effective than 1 large extraction with the same volume

29
Q

for extraction in the organic solvent, the drug must be in what form?

A

UNIONIZED

30
Q

______ is also known as the free form

(ionized or unionized)

A

unionized

31
Q

as mentioned, for extraction in the organic solvent, the drug must be in unionized form.

HENCE……….

A

the pH must be adjusted to more than 4 pH units away from the pka of the drug so that almost all the drug is in unionized form

32
Q

ephedrine is a ___ ____

A

sympathomemetic amine

33
Q

ephedrine may enhance the release of _______ through what?

A

ephedrine has alpha- beta- adrenergic agonists that may enhance the release of norepinephrine

34
Q

compare the water solubilities of ephedrine and baclofen

A

ephedrine is much more soluble in water (56,900mg/L) than Baclofen (2090mg/L)

35
Q

what kind of drug is baclofen?

A

a muscle relaxant

36
Q

true or false

baclofen is stable under normal conditions

A

TRUE

37
Q

Explain the structure of baclofen

A

it is amphoteric and exists as a zwitterion at ph 7

has 2 pkas because of this (3.85 and 9.25)

38
Q

does baclofen bind to serum proteins?

A

no - not significantly

39
Q

how is baclofen excreted?

A

mainly in the urine (90%)

40
Q

which enantiomer of baclofen is more active?

A

the l (-) enantiomer is more active – but it also is related to toxicity

41
Q

can drugs with both acid and amino groups exist as neutral zwitterions?

A

yes – when basic and acidic groups are nonionized at the pH

42
Q

what is P0

A

the distribution coefficient that involves the partitioning of both neutral (unionized) species

P0 = [sum of the conc of neutral species] octanol/[sum of the conc of neutral species]water

43
Q

what is P1

A

the distribution coefficient that involves the partitioning of charged (ionized) species

P1 = [sum of the concentration of the microspecies with charge “i”] octanol/[sum of the concentrations with charge “i”]water

44
Q

the distribution coefficient involves the partitioning of…..

A

both neutral (unionized) species and charged (ionized) species

45
Q

the distribution coefficient is represented as the……

A

Q

% ionization =…..
