PK/PD Flashcards
PK diagram
Check diagram on notes
- population and individual tailoring
- predicting toxicity: review all medications
PK requirements- factors for approval
Bioavailabity T1/2 Drug elimination Inter-subject availability Drug-stud reactions Safe dose->plasma conc-> right tissue
Pk requirements- factors to consider
New drug repurposed? Alcohol/smoke Age/sex/diet Infection/preg etc Liver/CVD function
Bioavailabity- definition
Check graph
Measure of drug absorption where it can be used
Vd= AUC oral/AUC IV *100%
Drug-> systemic circ vs IV route
Drug admin IV= 100% Vd
Other routes= fraction of IV (1> eg oral)
Vd affected by
Absorption: Formulation age(luminal changes) food (chelation and gastric emptying) vomit/malabsorption (Crohn’s)
1st pass metabolism- metab b4 reaching systemic circ= gut lumen/wall/liver
Rate of absorption
Dictate visibility of distribution and elimination phase
Fast abs- see D/E phase, slow =D phase masked= see diagram
Modified release preparation
Change PK parameters- change coating/tweaking drug- less/more freq dosing
Modified release form of metformin
- take less often, Better adherence
-abs slower: plasma conc shift towards rate of abs
Expensive
Distribution
Adequate plasma levels and reach target organ
Factors affecting therapeutic agents
Blood flow and capillary structure:
Simple diffusion
Junctions
Active transport
Lipophilicity/hydrophylicity
Protein binding: Albumin-acidic drug Globulins-normal Lipoproteins- basic drug Glycoproteins- basic drug
Rate of distribution and equilibrate on from IV administration- multiple compartments
- IV dose admin- 1st compartment
- Equilibrate between 2 volumes
- distribute and equilibrate between v1 and v2
- elimination from v1:Conc in V1 and V2 parallel
- look at 2 graphs
Drug-protein binding and distribution
Free drug: resp/eliminated
Bound: stays in compartment
Clinically important:
Highly protein bound
Narrow therapeutic index
Low Vd
Increased free drug
- 2nd drug displace 1st from binding proteins=bind more efficiently
-increase free drug= resp:
harm potential-preg(change fluidbalance)/renal failiure/ hypoalbunemia(less protein drug can bind to= increase free drug, less response elicited)
Calculations
Vd=dose/[drug]plasma
- Vd in adipose tissue increase as drug sequestered into it
- Vd decrease as increase [drug]plasma
Conc=amount/vol (mg/L)
-protein binding in plasma= increase free drug in plasma= conc increase
Apparent Vd
Smaller- drug confined in plasma and ECF (warfarin)
Larger- drug distributed throughout tissues (Digoxin)
Dose= Vd x [drug]plasma
Metabolism- Phase 1 enzymes cytochrome P450 expose polar regions of drug by:
Oxidation
Alkylation
Reduction
Hydrolysis
Metabolism-phase 2 enzymes add a covalent bond, this adds:
Glucuronide
Sulphate
Glutathione
N-acetyl
These will: change size and dictate if excreted by kidney/ bile=faeces
