1 oz = ? grams
28 grams
1 pound = ? grams
453.6 grams
1 mg = ? g
0.001 g
1 kg = ? pounds
2.2 pounds
1 ton = ? pounds
2000 pounds
also 907.2 kg
1 liquid oz = ? mls
30mls
1 quart = ? Liters
0.946 Liters
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
10,000 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.
What is the formula for Clearance (Cl)?
Cl = K el * Vd
What is the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation?
pH = pKa + log [ (protonated form) / (unprotonated form) ]
Or
For weak acids: pH = pKa + log [ UI / I ]
For weak bases: pH = pKb + log [ I / UI ]
What is the relationship between pH and pKa
pH = pKa ionized:unionized = 1
For each unit pH is away from pKa, concentration ratio is 1:10
What is the formula for Chronicity Index ?
Chronicity Index = 1 dose LD 50 / 90 dose LD 50
1 = no cumulative effect
90 = absolutely cumulative.
What is the formula for Therapeutic Index (TI) ?
TI = LD50 / ED 50
The higher the number, generally the safer the drug (because has a wider range where it can be used therapeutically).
What is the formula for Margin of Safety (MS) ?
Margin of Safety = LD1 / ED 99
This is what regulators use to calculate safety of drug.
What is the formula for Loading Dose ?
Loading dose = Vd * Target Concentration
What is the formula for Risk?
Risk = Hazard * Exposure to residue
