Q

single-dose time course

A
  • steep when absorbing in blood then maxs out at level lower than dose because starts getting eliminated once its in blood then down slope where no more ot absorb only toelimiate
  • log is linear when purely elimination

Q

mathematic basis pharmacokinetics is

A

one-compartment model

dose (not IV) -> site of administration -> absorption (Ka) -> Volume Vd (Central Compartment) -> elimination (excretion and metabolism)

Or
IV dose -> volume Vd (central compartment) -> elimination (excretion plus metabolism)

Q

ka

A

rate constant of absorption

23
Q

D

A

dose

24
Q

f

A

bioavalibity = relationship between dose you give and dose that gets into blood
1 if given IV
<1 if given by another way

25
Q

divide dose by Vd

A

gives C

26
Q

on compartment model with no elimination

A 
Ao= [D/Vd]
Ke= 0
t1/2= infinity
Ka= 6.93/hr
D= 1mg/kg
Vd= 0.2L/kg
this is unrealistic bc body always trying to get rid of stuff
curve steep slope up to plateau at top of curve
27
Q

one compartment model with IV injection

A 
Ka= infinity
T1/2= .5hrs
D= 1mg/kg
Vd= 0.2 L/kg
Ke= 1.39 hours
graph starts at max plasma concentration then nice C shaped curve of decreasing concentration
28
Q

time curve with absorption and elimination

A 
d= 1mg/kg
Vd= 0.2 L/Kg
F=1
Ka= 6.93/hr
Ke= 1.39/hr
T1/2= 0.5
Curve: steep slope up hits peak around 4.00 then C shape down
29
Q

Two compartment model

A

Iv dose -> central compartment -> Elimination
OR
Central compartment -> interstitial fluid -> intracellular space

  • movement back and forth (equilibrium) between central compartment and interstitial fluid and intracellular space and interstitial fluid
  • most drugs once into central compartment do rapid distribution and cross into interstitial fluid can pass through lipids go into intracellular space
30
Q

Two compartment time course linear plot

A

steep diagonal line down at beginning than less steep diagonal line down

31
Q

two compartment time course log plot

A

rapid phase = redistribution = steep pt at beginning than slope less steep (slow phase= elimination)

32
Q

First-order elimination kinetics

A
  • Ke units measured in min^-1
  • exponential decrease in plasma concentration
  • with iv administration and increasing dose: peak highest with high does; independent of dose gone almost at same time bc rate elimination is higher if higher concentration bc T1/2 so no matter what dose drug essentially gone in same time
33
Q

Zero-order elimination

A
  • linear decrease of plasma concentration bc saturation of metabolizing enzymes or eliminating transporters
  • with IV administration and increasing dose
  • comes about with elimination by metabolism like liver enzyme bc only have so many liver enzymes and can only eliminate certain # mg/ min not fraction/min
  • anytime protein is involved only so many of them and you can fill them up rate becomes mg/ min not fraction. min
  • rate becomes exponential once you have enough enzymes avalailable for all molecules you’re breaking donw
  • this is how alchohol works
  • some individuals have more enzymes than others which -> higher rate of break down
  • graph horizontal lines slanted diagnollay go further on time axis if start higher on blood concentration axis
34
Q

first-order absorption

A
  • from site of administration

- exponential increase in plasma concentration (units of Ka are min^-1)

35
Q

intravenous injection (kinetics of absorption)

A
  • Ka-> infinity
  • instantaneous increase in plasma concentration
  • starts at D/Vd and drops exponentially
36
Q

zero-order absorption

A
  • intravenous infusion: CRI= constant rate infusion

- constant rate of infusion, units are mg/min

37
Q

zero order absorption with no elimination

A
  • linear increase in blood concentration
  • 0 order bc mg/min= CRI= no elimination
  • curve = linear increase in old concentration
  • w/ constant rate infusion start w/ blood concentration increase then rate infusion balanced by rate infusion
38
Q

zero order absorption with first-order elimination

A
  • It can be shown that the time course for reaching steady state with constant infusion is a function of infusion rate (= dose rate=DR) and rate constant of elimination (ke)
39
Q

increasing the dose rate

A
  • increases steady state level but does not affect time to reach steady state
  • time to reach steady state determined only by rate constant of elimination
40
Q

time to reach steady state

A

determined only by the rate constant of elimination
- rise dependent on rate constant of elimination NOT on rate of infusion concentration determined by rate constant infusion

41
Q

t1/2 getting to steady state=

A

t1/2 getting to elimination

42
Q

decreasing rate constant of elimination

A
  • increasing elimination half life
  • increases both steady-state level and time to reach steady state
  • decrease in rate constant of elimination causes a proportional increase in steady-state concentration
43
Q

eliminate slower = ___ steady state

A

eliminated slower= greater steady state but takes longer to get there (slower elimination = longer it takes to reach steady state)

44
Q

decrease in rate constant of elimination causes

A

a proportional increase in steady state concentration

45
Q

first order elimination time to reach steady state determined by

A

elimination half life; t1/2 to reach steady state is equal to t1/2 of elimination

46
Q

t1/2 to reach steady state is

A

equal to t1/2 of elimination; if you know elimination half life of drug you can estimate the time it will take to reach steady state

47
Q

longer half life means ____ steady state level

A

longer half life means higher steady state level

48
Q

try to mimic constant infusion when

A

trying to get steady state try to mimic constant infusion using multi dose infusions (give intermittent constant dose rate not continuous) if know t1/2 know how long you wait to reach steady state

49
Q

for steady state concentration and clearance for constant infusion

A

steady state plasma concentration (Css) can be shown to be:

Css= Dose rate/ keVd = Dose rate/ Cl

50
Q

KeVd=

A

clearance (cl)

51
Q

since KeVd = Cl

A

steady state concentration is directly proportional to dose rate and inversely proportional to clearance and Ke

52
Q

rate constant of elimination (ke) inversely related to

A

t1/2 of elimination (ke=0.693/t1/2) and therefore:

Css= dose rate * t1/2 / 0.693Vd

53
Q

Css=

A

dose rate * t1/2 / 0.693 Vd
