Passive diffusion requires the drug to be ___
in state
hydrophobic
If branded medicines, the ___is different
from the generic ones.

Other drug
An index used to describe the distribution characteristics
of a drug
VOLUME DISTRIBUTION
πD is the ___
β Either in mg or grams
Injected Dose
FORMULA
Vd = D/C
C is the ____
β Expressed either mg/L or g/L
concentration of drug in the Plasma
Unit for Vd =
Liter
β Capable of entering biochemical pathway
Xenobiotics:
Except for the ____, all substances absorbed from the intestine
enter the hepatic portal system, which means that all medications
absorbed from the GIT must first pass via the liver before reaching
the bloodstream.
rectum
πBiochemical Pathway that is important for drug to be metabolized
MFO (Mixed Function Oxidase) System
In the liver, it is converted into___
water soluble
substances
MFO (Mixed Function Oxidase) System
-Takes hydrophobic substances
-Conversion of substance into a water soluble substances
-Transported into the bile or released into the general
circulation for elimination
πElimination is through ___
renal filtration
πTwo functional Phases of the MFO system
A mechanism for transforming hydrophobic compounds into
water-soluble ones. The end products of this process are either
delivered to the bile or discharged into the bloodstream.
Generates reactive intermediates
PHASE 1 REACTION
Combine functional groups to these reactive sites
PHASE2 REACTION
Most common substrate:
xenobiotics
Faster elimination, the ____of the drug
shorter half-life
Slow elimination, the___of the drug.
longer half-life
Elimination rate of free drug is ____ to GFR
directly
proportional
not bound to protein
Free drug
Metabolism of drugs occurs in the___
liver
Serum constituents:
Protein
What is the role of proteins in the binding of drugs? Why does the
drug need to bind with proteins?
Proteins act as carriers or transporters of drug to the
target site
What will happen if GFR is elevated, what will be the elimination
rate?
Increased elimination rate
Decreased GFR, decreased elimination rate, what happens to the
half life of a drug? Will it be prolonged or shortened?
Half life is Prolonged.
Capable of interacting with the site of action to elicit
biologic response
β Best correlates with both the therapeutic and toxic effects
of a drug (active fraction)
UNBOUND DRUG FRACTIONS
When will those toxic effects happen in the patient?
-Experienced if there is HIGH FREE DRUG FRACTION.
-Drug is not seen as effective even if it is in the therapeutic
range
π One of the major factor that can affect on the amount of free
fractions of drug:
Concentration of Serum Proteins
CAUSES OF DRUG TOXICITY
β Increased concentration of free drug
β Presence of active drug metabolites
πPart of drug dose that reaches circulation
β Bioavailable Fraction
Dilution of drug after it has been distributed in the body
Drug Vd
Drugs pass through liver which loses a fraction of its
bioavailability before reaches the bloodstream
First- Pass Hepatic Metabolism
Half Life is also known as
Elimination Constant
