Lec3-5 Flashcards
lipophilicity
solubility in lipid relative to water
lipophilicity is measured by
oil/water partition coefficient (drug conc in oil v water)
drugs with carboxylate reside undergo ionization and become ____
what is their solubility to water and lipid now
anions
more soluble to water
less soluble to lipid
drugs with amine undergo ionization and become ____
what is their solubility to water and lipid now
cation
less soluble to water
more soluble to lipid
quaternary ammonium with fixed positive charge (such as ACH) has what type of lipophilicity
lipophilicity is low
high solubility in water
low solubility in lipid plasma membranes
very large MW drugs
> 1000 (tend to be proteins)
small MW drugs
<1000
pharmacokinetics is concerned with
the time course of
- absorption
- distribution
- eliminiation
absorption
drug from site of administration into the blood stream
why is conc of plasma important
bc it’s what we can measure (blood)
distribution
from blood stream into tissues in body
elimination
getting out of body in form of molc it was administered
4 major types of biotransport
passive diffusion throguh plasma membrane
filtration
carrier-mediated transport
receptor-mediated endocytosis
what order kinetics is passive diffusion and is the half life or rate dependendant on dose conc
first order
half life NOT dependent on conc
rate IS dep on conc gradient
transport in bulk flow of aqueous fluid is known as
filtration
filtration rate is dependent on ? (3)
hydrostatic pressure
MW, size, charge
tissue porosity
what type of transport can be active transport of a molc that wouldn’t cros w/o it
carrier-mediated transport
drug transporter whose efflux pump causes resistance to some antitumor drugs
MDR p-glycoproteins
biotransporter that is important for big molecules
receptor-mediated endocytosis
rate of receptor mediated endocytosis is dependent on
receptor expression and membrane insertion
what protein therapeutics is receptor-mediated endocytosis a mechanism for
monoclonal antibodies (iGg)
time course of transport from site of administration to systemic circulation
absorption
bioavailability is the
% dose absorbed (what % gets into bloodstream)
only route of admin that’s 100% bioavailabity
intravenous bc all put into vasculature
route of admin with fastest possible input rate
intravenous
during subcutanrous or intramuscular routes of admin where do low MW lipophilic drugs enter
where do high MW compounds enter
low - into blood
high - into lymphatics
subcutaneous and intramuscular has better biovailability than ____ for ____ drugs
than oral route
for polar & high MW drugs
during inhalation route of admin, rapid absorption of gases and vapors is due to
high pulmonary blood flow
low diffusional distance from alveolus to blood
which route of admin do we want no bioavailability
inhalation
why is absorption through skin (topical route) generally slow
moves through surface layers of dead, keratinized cells
which route avoids the first pass effect
topical (i.e. transdermal)
why might bioavailabity of oral route be low
mucosa as barrier high MW low lipophilicity carrier-mediated extrusion first pass effect
biotransformation during the absorption process
first pass effect
is bioavailability low or high in a drug with NO first pass effect
high bioavailability
time course of transport from vasculature to tissue space
distribution
what determines equilibration rate during distribution
blood flow
highly perfused organs?
intermed?
low?
high: lung liver brain kidney
inter:
skeletal muscle
low:
fat
which is equilibrated faster? highly perfused structures or low
highly bc equilibrate in mins while low does in hours
determinants of equilibrium gradient in distribution
vascular permability
macromolc binding in plasma and tissue
MW, lipophilicity, carrier affinity
BBB has what 2 things that allow drugs to pass
tight junctions and transporters
what does a drug binding to albumin do & whats its effect on equilibrium gradient
it prevents the complex from moving out of the vascular compt
as drug distributed, dissociated from albumin and incr drug distribution (high equilibrium gradient)
monoclonal antibody likely to distribute into a space like that of
albumin (in plasma)
volume of the body into which the drug appears to have distributed once equilibrium is obtained
volume of distribution
(plasma) concentration is
amount (g) / volume (L)
volume of distribution is determinant of
plasma concentration
one compt model v 2
1 compt - drug ditributes entire volume and reaches equilibrium v quickly
2 compt - equilibrates slowly
high lipid solubility means ____ Vd
high
high MW(proteins) - ___ Vd
small MW and polar(charge) - ____ Vd
small MW and lipophilic - _____ Vd
highly lipophilic and accumulates in fat - ____ Vd
small (Vd about plasma vol, 4%)
Vd like sucrose (Vd about extracell fluid vol, 17%)
Vd like water (Vd about total BW, 58%)
more than body water (»58%)
mechanism by excretion or biotransformation
elimination
molc in same chemical configuration as the form it was injected in is by
excretion
clearance is what over what
volume of plasma cleared over unit time
