NONLINEAR PHARMACOKINETICS -:PRESENTED BY:- BANDARI PRANAY BIOPHARMACEUTICS AND PHARMACOKINETICS, BHARAT INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY.
LINEAR PHARMACOKINETICS Change in plasma concentration due to ADME process is proportional to dose of drug administered (single or multiple doses) Follow First order kinetics[linear kinetics] Semi-log plot for concentration vs time is super imposable (Principle of superimposition) No change in F, Ka, Ke , Vd , Clearance etc. Pharmacokinetics is dose independent
NONLINEAR PHARMACOKINETICS Rate process of ADME are dependent on carrier or enzymes having definite capacity and subjected to saturation. Change in concentration is no more proportional to dose administered during the total process of ADME. Follow First order + Zero order kinetics Change in different pharmacokinetic parameters It is also called as mixed-order ,nonlinear and capacity limited kinetics
DETECTION OF NONLINEARITY IN PHARMACOKINETICS There are several tests to detect nonlinearity in pharmacokinetics, they are: 1. Determination of steady state plasma conc at different doses. 2. Determination of some of the important pharmacokinetics parameters such as Fraction variable Bioavailable Elimination half life Total systemic clearance
CAUSES OF NONLINEARITY Nonlinearities can occur in drug ADME DRUG ABSORBTION Absorption is solubility or dissolution rate limited eg. Griseofulvin. Absorption involve carrier mediated transportation eg. Riboflavin, ascorbic acid. Hepatic metabolism attain saturation eg. Propranolol, hydralazine. DRUG DISTRIBUTION Saturation of binding sites on plasma proteins eg. Phenylbutazone, naproxen. Saturation of tissue binding sites eg. Thiopental, fentanyl.
DURING METABOLISM Capacity limited metabolism due to enzyme or cofactor saturation eg. Alcohol, Phenytoin. Enzyme induction eg. Carbamazepin . DURING EXCRETION Active tubular secretion eg. Penicillin G. Active tubular re-absorption eg. Glucose, water soluble vitamins. Other sources: Forced Diuresis, change in urine pH, nephrotoxicity etc. CAUSES OF NONLINEARITY
