lecture 5 Flashcards
tissue perfusions 1 phase
-liver
-kidney
-brain
second distribution phase
muscle
viscera skin
fat (slower)
diffusion of the drug into the interstitial fluids
occur RAPID and because highly permeable nature of capillary endothelial membrane (except brain)
distribution
partitioning of drugs between BLOOD and the TISSUE
Determinants- transmembrane pH and the lipid solubility
tissue binding :
“depot” definition
drug is BOUND in tissue
True or false: Drugs in TISSUE are in higher concentrations than Drug in EXTRACELLULAR FLUID
true
example of slide 6: Quinacrine (anti-malaria)
conc in LIVER is several thousand more times than in BLOOD
TISSUE BINDING
occurs in cellular constituents - proteins, phospholipids, nuclear protein and are REVERISBLE
**CAN produce local toxicity, as in the case of “amino glycoside, antibiotic gentamicin” (in kidney)
amino-glycoside antibiotic gentamicin (in the kidney )
produces a local toxicity because of tissue binding or accumulation
many lipid soluble drugs are stored in
NEUTRAL FAT.
in obese people the fat content of the body is as high as
50%
bone
*tetracycline antibiotic
metal ion chelating agents and heavy metals can accumulate in the bone by absorption into the bone crystal surface and eventual incorporation into a crystal lattice.
Bone can be a reservoir for toxic agents- radium and lead in blood
Redistribution
Termination of drug effect- is done by metabolism, excretion, and redistribution.
redistribution of drugs from its site OF ACTION into OTHER SITES/TISSUE
- specifically terminates highly lipid-soluble drug that acts on the brain or cardiovascular system (INJECTIONS /INHALATION)
bbb
lipid solubility, non-ionized, unbound
the drug should be very LIPOPHILIC - to cross the bbb
Distribution
Some barriers restrict flow into the CNS- BBB
BBB
the brain has capillaries that cannot seep between cells (paracellular transport), and must be transported transcellular.
choroid plexus
where the CSF is formed, and has a TIGHT JUNCTION BARRIER, epithelial in nature
what kind of drugs make it into the CNS ?
Lipid soluble and non-polar
Inflamed BBB
will enahcne the permeability
transport fro CSF to blood
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
BBB we can use it for drug design
to limit ACTION OF PERIPHERY
PLACENTAL TRANSFER
DRUGS TRANSFER TO THE FETUS
** Fetus plasma SLIGHTLY more acidic than mother, 7-7.2 compared to 7.4, ION TRAPPING OF BASIC DRUGS OCCURS
Volume of Distribution (Vd)
**APPARENT -measure
theoretical and practical significance
amount of drug in the body to the concentration of drug in plasma or blood.
Vd= amount of drug in the body (mg)/ conc mg/L
DOSE/ conc in blood (at steady state
mass/density-volume
Vd can EXCEED THE actual volume of biological system
If the volume of distribution (Vd) exceeds the actual volume of blood, it means that the drug is not confined solely to the bloodstream, but has distributed itself into tissues, organs, and other body compartments beyond the blood.
In this scenario, the drug is distributed throughout the body, not just in the bloodstream. This could mean that the drug has entered tissues, cells, or other compartments where it can exert its pharmacological effects or be metabolized and eliminated.
If the Vd is large, it suggests that the drug has a widespread distribution throughout the body and may have a longer duration of action or a larger area of effect.
This could be due to factors such as the drug’s molecular size, lipid solubility, binding to proteins or tissues, or other pharmacokinetic properties. A large Vd may also indicate that the drug is extensively distributed into tissues and organs, which can affect its pharmacokinetic profile and therapeutic efficacy
