Pharmacokinetics Flashcards
what does ADME stand for
absorb
distributes
metabolize
eliminate
what determines the intensity of the drugs effect
the concentration at the site of the receptor
what are the routes of administration
oral IV subcutaneous intramuscular transdermal pathc rectal inhalation sublingual
3 ways drugs cross the cell membrane
pass through channels or pores
through membrane with transport system
penetrate directly if lipophilic (most common)
where are transporters found
liver
kidney
intestine
brain capillaries
how is 2 compartment model different from one compartment
in two drugs are not distributed instantaneously to peripheral, there is a time lag
what kinds of drugs are best described by one compartment model
drugs that dont extensively distribute into extravascular tissues
what is another word for bioavailability
absorption
describe bioavailability
fraction of unchanged drug that reaches the blood
what is drug accumulation
inversly proportional to dose lost
describe volume of distribution
how drug is distributed in body relative to plasma
define clearance
ability of the body to eliminate the drug
what is the drug half life
time required to change the amount of drug in the body by one half
what does AUC stand for
the area under the curve of a graph of plasma concentration against time
what is the % bioavailability in IV admin
100%
what is the first pass effect
drugs metabolized and inactivated in the liver
describe enterophepatic cycling
body recycles the drug from liver to bile duct back into the intestine, hepatic artery, liver again
prolongs half life
