Q

What is happening in late elimination phase of two compartment model?

A

Q

How do you calculate Vd after distribution is complete in two compartment model?

A
  • slope of line of elimination phase is extrapolated to t=0 to get Co
    Vd [extrap] = A/Co [extrap]

Q

What happens to t 1/2 if fraction of unbound drug in plasma increases?

Q

How do you calculate t 1/2 in two compartment model?

A

choose two concentrations that differ by multiple of 2 within the elimination phase –> time between these is half life

IMPORTANT THAT BOTH CONC ARE IN ELIMINATION PHASE

18
Q

What is rate of elimination?

A

C*Cl

19
Q

What is equation for Css?

A
Css = IR/Cl
IR = infusion rate
Cl = clearance
20
Q

How does Vd affect Css?

A

Cd does not affect Css – but if have big Vd it will take a longer time to reach Css because bigger t1/2

21
Q

How long does it take to reach Css?

A

After 4-5 half lives, C has reached 95% of Css

22
Q

After 1 half life how what fraction of Css is reached?

A

50% of Css after 1 half life

23
Q

if infusion rate changes from any Css to a new one, how long does it take to reach the new Css

A

4-5 half-lives

24
Q

How long does it take to get halfway from one C to new Css?

A

1 half life to get 50% of the way

25
Q

What is loading dose [Dl]?

A

Dl = Css * Vd

- administer loading dose at start of treatment to bypass accumulation time

26
Q

How do you determine F [bioavailability] for oral dose?

A
F = AUCoral / AUCIv
AUC = area under curve for time vs plasma concentration graph
27
Q

How do you calculate amount of drug [A] that enters the body in oral dose from the bioavailability?

A
A = D*F
A = area
D = dose
F = bioavailability
28
Q

For IV administration what is F [bioavailability]? What is relationship D and A?

A
F = 1
D = A
dose = amount since its all going straight in to blood stream
29
Q

How can you calculate clearance from F?

A
Cl = D * F / AUC
Cl = clearance
D = dose
F = bioavailability
AUC = area under curve of time vs plasma concentration graph
30
Q

If absorption is much faster than elimination how can you approximate Cmax?

A
Cmax = D*F/Vd
D = dose
F = bioavailability
Vd = distribution volume
31
Q

What is equation for initial C after an IV bolus?

A

Co = A/Vd

32
Q

What does slow reabsorption do to peak drug conc in plasma [Cmax] and time it takes to reach Cmax [tmax]

A

slow absorption

  • -> decrease Cmax
  • -> increase tmax
33
Q

What is difference in AUC between two drugs with same bioavailibility but different rates of absorption?

A

same AUC even if one has faster absorption than the other and thus lower Cmax and longer tmax

34
Q

What is difference in tmax and AUC between two drugs with same absorption rate but different bioavailability?

A
  • same tmax

- lower AUC for drug with lower bioavailability

35
Q

What happens in repeated oral dosing?

A
  • 2nd dose given before 1st dose eliminated
  • drug accumulates
  • as avg conc rises, rate of elimination rises
  • when rate of eliminate high enough to remove all previous dose, Css[av] achieved
  • time to reach Css[av] is also 4-5 t 1/2 [same as IV drug infusions]
36
Q

What is equation for repeat oral dosing infusion rate?

A

rate in = D * F / T
D = dose
F = bioavailability
T = time interval between doses

37
Q

What is equation for Css[av] for repeated oral dosing?

A
Css[av] = D * F / (T * Cl)
D = dose
F = bioavailability
T = time interval between doses
Cl = clearance
38
Q

What is equation for Css[max] - Css[min] in oral dosing?

A

Css[max] - Css[min] = D*F / Vd
D = dose
F = bioavailability
Vd = distribution volume

39
Q

How does slower absorption rate change fluctuations in concentration in oral dosing?

A

slow absorption rate causes smaller fluctuations in C

40
Q

How can you use loading dose in oral therapeutic dosing?

A
  • give loading dose as first dose to get Css[av] without having to wait
41
Q

When is first order kinetics reasonable assumption?

A

C < < Km

42
Q

What happens in drugs with C near or above Km?

A

rate of elimination no longer proportional to C

small increase in dose can produce large increase in C

43
Q

What happens if C > > Km?

A

zero order relation

rate of elimination = vmax

44
Q

What happens to drug if zero order kinetics?

A

drug accumulates because can’t reach a steady state
