1 ppm = what?
1 ppm = 1 mg/kg = 1 mg/L = 0.0001%
1 g/ton = ? ppm
1.1 ppm
1% = ? mg/ml
10mg/ml
also 10 mg/g
Proof = what in alcohol?
percent*2
1% = ? ppm

what is the formula for bioavailability (F)?
F = [area under curve for PO](dose IV) / [area under curve for IV](dose PO)
fraction of drug that reaches systemic circulation.
what is the formula for volume of distribution (Vd)?
Vd = (dose that gets to circulation) / (Concentration at time 0)
where does the drug distribute in the body
Small - staying in blood stream
High - going to multiple tissues
what is the formula for half-life (T 1/2) ?
For first order half-life (what we assume most are):
T 1/2 = 0.693 / K el
Where K el is the elimination constant
How many half-lives are required for majority elimination?
5 half-lifes for 93% elimination of a compound (typically what is referenced as most compounds would not have clinical effects at this level.
7 half-lives for 99.2% elimination of a compound, which is sometimes asked for.
