PED2001 pharmacokinetics Flashcards
pharmacokinetics - what thew body does to a drug
absorption
distribution
metabolism excretion
what are clinical pharmacokinetics
the application of pharmacokinetic principles to individual patients
what is pharmacodynamics
what the drug does to the body
what is the general order of ADME
site of administration - absorption
plasma - distribution, metabolism/excretion
urine/faeces
what are the route of administration of drugs
intravenous
oral
intramuscular
subcutaenous
transdermal
inhaled
intrathecal
sublingual
rectal
vaginal
what are the ways of gathering drug administered data
oral
IV
what are the ways of gathering blood sample taken data
separation of plasma
ultrafiltration
derivatisation
what are the ways of gathering analysis data
HLPC - UV detection (microg/ml)
HPLC - fluorescence detection (ng/ml)
LC-MS - mass specific detection (pg/ml)
atomic absorption spectrometry
what is concentration-time profile
schematic representation of the relationship between drug exposure, toxicity and response
what are the main types of pharmacokinetics data analysis
non compartmental analysis
compartmental
population PK models
physiologically based
what are the PK terms of the straight line PK principles
C=-K.T + C0
- c = concentration
- t= time
- k = rate constant
- C0 = concentration at time zero
- negative symbol indicating loss of drug with time
what are elimination rates
most commonly need to predict how a drug concentration in the plasma with change with time
what is a zero order process
elimination of a constant amount of drug per unit of time (independent of drug concentration)
what is a first order process
involve a constant proportion of drug eliminated in a defined time period
ln c = ln c0 - K.T
What is included in absorption
- transfer of a exogenous compound from site of administration into systemic circulation
- in general lipid-soluble compounds cross cell membranes more easily and are more rapidly absorbed
what are the parameters of absorption
CMax - maximum concentration of compounds after administration
TMAX - time at which Cmax is reached
how do you calculate AUC
sum all the component trapezoid areas to obtain the total AUC
AUC = Ct/K
how can we calculate bioavailability (F)
AUC oral/AUC x dose i.v./dose oral
% in urine as parent compound after oral dosing/ % in urine as parent compound after intravenous dosing
