Lecture 1 - Physiologic Disposition Flashcards
Biotransformation is
Rx metabolism
Examples of physiologic dysfunction causing drug disposition
renal/liver, gastric motility (absorption)
Pharmacokinetics =
effect of BODY on drug (ADME)
Pharmacodynamics =
effect of DRUG on body
Central compartment connected to :
Therapeutic site of action Tissue reservoir Unwanted site of action Kidney Liver
In absorption/distribution, lipoid membranes b/w :
Rx origin “&” IM
Rx origin “&” GI
Central comp “&” peripheral comp
Central comp “&” excretion/reabsorption
Barriers to Central Compartment (Blood)
LIPID MEMBRANES
metabolic inactivation / chemical interactions
active transport forms
facilitated diffusion, drug transporters
passive transport forms
paracellular transport, diffusion, filtration, bulk transport, carrier-facilitated
Molecular size effect on Drug absorption
smaller the Rx = faster crossing membrane/absorption (pores and water channels)
Diffusion depends on
- -LIPID SOLUBILITY
- -Area/Thickness/Concentration Gradient
Diffusion : partition coefficient w/ absorption?
Big partition coefficient = faster reabsorption (more lipid soluble)
Ionized/Un-ionized goes across membrane by SIMPLE DIFFUSION?
ONLY UN-IONIZED molecule simple diffuses across membrane
Weak acid in Acidic pH becomes
less ionized
Weak base in Basic pH becomes
less ionized
pKa is
pH for 50/50 ionized/un-ionized
at steady state, weak bases go
from basic to acidic side
(un-ionized form crosses)
at steady state, weak acids go
from acidic to basic side
(un-ionized form crosses)
If pH is the same on both sides,
Rx total amount SAME on both sides
difference in pH causing ion movement towards opposite =
ion trapping, pH partitioning
IV pros
Rapid onset
Accurate level control
Direct
IV negs
Non-removable
High [ ] injections
Fluid overload
IM pros
better than SubQ (fast, less irritation, faster absorption w/ vasoconstrictor)
SubQ negs
pain, irritation/infxn, local necrosis
small volume only
Inhalation pros
surface area
perfusion
local + systemic
Need Equipment
Inhalation negs
Allergic Rxns
Route for party drugs “&” work toxins
how to enhance topical absorption
oily suspension, hydrated skin
which more permeable, dermis or epidermis
dermis (burns, denuded, abraded)
topical negs
allergic rxns
3 enteral routes
sublingual, rectal, oral
Which don’t have first pass effect?
IV, Sublingual/buccal, IM,
