Quiz 3 flash cards
What ways can a drug be transported into a cell?
Diffusion
Facillitated diffusion
Active transport
What charactoristics make dissolution the late limiting step of drug metabolism?
Solubility of drug Size of particle Surface area Crystalline and salt drug formation Rate of disintegration
What are the charactoristic of pH-partiition for drug absorption?
Biological membranes act like lipid barriers
Un-ionized forms of drug is better absorbed
Most are absorbed by passive diffusion
rate and amount of drug absorption are related to oil-water partition coefficent
Weak acids and neutral drugs not usually absorbed in the stomach
Basic drugs are normally absorbed in the stomach
