Pharmacokinetics & pharmacodynamics Flashcards
Km=
1/affinity
Vmax is ______ proportional to _____?
directly, enzyme concentration
Lineweaver burk plot: the closer the line is to X axis:___?
The higher the Km (lower the affinity)
What is the bioavailability for IV dose
F=100%
What is the bioavailability for an oral dose
F
Volume of distribution=
amount of drug in body/plasma drug concentration
High volume of distribution
All tissues (including fat) Small lipophilic molecules, esp if bound to tissue protein
Medium volume of distribution
ECF
Small hydrophilic molecules
Low volume of distribution
Blood
Large/charged molecules, plasma protein bound
Clearance=
rate of elimination of drug/plasma drug concentration
=Volume of distribution*elimination constant
How many half lives does it take to reach steady state?
4-5 half lives
How many half lives does it take to reach 90% of the steady-state level?
3.3
T1/2=
(.693*Vol. of distribution)/Clearance
Loading dose=
(Target plasma concentration at steady state*Vol.ofDis)/Bioavailability
Maintenance dose=
(Target plasma concentration at steady stateClearancedosage internal)/bioavailability
