PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: administration INTRAVENOUS ADMINISTRATION Immediate delivery with 100% Bioavailability Bioavailability - relative amount of a drug dose that reaches the systemic circulation unchanged and the rate at which this occurs
ORAL ADMINISTRATION Safest and most convenient method Absorption rate is dependent on gastrointestinal tract Extensive First Pass Metabolism and Bioavailability is reduced PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: administration
TRANSCUTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION Few lipophilic drugs – sufficient enough to penetrate intact skin. Available as drug patches. The time taken to achieve therapeutic level limits its practical use and preferred for maintenance therapy. PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: administration
INTRAMUSCULAR AND SUBCUTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION Dependent upon drug dose and blood flow on area of administration Intramuscular > Subcutaneous Subcutaneous – variation in onset and duration PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: administration
INHALATIONAL ADMINISTRATION Large surface area of the pulmonary alveoli and large amount of blood flow PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: administration

PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution COMPARTMENTAL PHARMACOKINETIC A mathematical model – divides the body into compartments and characterize the blood concentration of the drug Use to quantify drug distribution and elimination – volume of distribution, clearance and half-lives Does not include cardiac output as a parameter
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution ONE COMPARTMENT MODEL The body is a single homogenous compartment Drug distribution is instantaneous Drug elimination is constant
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution ONE COMPARTMENT MODEL
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution TWO COMPARTMENT MODEL Central compartment where the drug is administered Peripheral compartment where some of the drug is distributed
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution TWO COMPARTMENT MODEL
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution THREE COMPARTMENT MODEL Highly fat soluble drug Fat compartment acts as reservoir for the drug
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution THREE COMPARTMENT MODEL
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution VOLUME OF DISTRIBUTION Quantifies the extent of the drug distribution Physiologic factor: Overall uptake capacity of the tissue Capacity of the blood Relates the total amount of drug present in the concentration observed in the central compartment
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution VOLUME DISTRIBUTION Lipophilic drugs have larger volume of distribution than hydrophilic drugs
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: distribution VOLUME DISTRIBUTION Loading dose can be calculated by rearranging the equation

PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: metabolism Pharmacologically active lipid soluble drugs are converted into water soluble and often pharmacologically inactive metabolites Sites of metabolism Liver is the most metabolically active tissue Gut wall, Lungs, Kidney and Plasma
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: metabolism PHASE I REACTIONS Hydrolysis – insertion of a molecule of water into another molecule Oxidation – removes electrons from a molecule; inserts hydroxyl group (-OH) into the drug molecule Dealkylation – removal of a carbon group Deamination – removal of nitrogen containing group Reduction – adding an electron molecule
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: metabolism PHASE I REACTIONS Cytochrome P45O Enzyme – catalyze most Phase I reactions CYP3A4 accounts for 40% to 45% of all CYP mediated drug metabolism Found in: Smooth endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes Membrane of upper intestinal enterocytes
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: metabolism PHASE I REACTIONS Cytochrome P45O Enzyme – catalyze most Phase I reactions Two fundamental characteristics: Broad substrate specificity Induction of different CYP Isoenzymes Inhibited by substrate competing with the drug-binding site
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: metabolism PHASE II REACTIONS Conjugation or synthetic reactions Endogenous compounds: glucuronic acid, acetate and amino acid Produces conjugates that are polar, and water soluble
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY Major processes involved in: ABSORPTION DISTRIBUTION METABOLISM ELIMINATION
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion CLEARANCE Volume of plasma from which drug is completely and irreversibly removed in a given time interval Clearance depends on the drug, blood flow and condition of the organs of elimination.
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion The total clearance is the sum of each clearance by metabolic organs Major organs involved in Drug Clearance: Kidney (Renal Clearance) Liver (Hepatic Clearance)
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion RENAL DRUG CLEARANCE Excrete through the urine unchanged, hydrophilic and hepatic metabolites from Phase I and Phase II reactions of lipophilic drugs Dependent on renal function
RENAL DRUG CLEARANCE Proximal tubule – actively transport organic acids and bases Tubular reabsorption – passive reabsorption of lipophilic drug and active, carrier mediated reabsorption of hydrophilic drugs PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion HEPATIC DRUG CLEARANCE Depends on the intrinsic ability of the liver to metabolize drug Amount of drug available to diffuse into the liver Assumes that all drug delivered to liver is available for extraction The elimination is constant fraction per unit of time
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion Hepatic Extraction Ratio: Fraction of blood passing through the liver Where:
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion Total Hepatic Clearance: Function of the hepatic blood flow and the ability of the liver to extract drug from the blood Where:
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion HEPATIC DRUG CLEARANCE The ability to extract drug depends on: Activity of drug metabolizing enzyme Capacity of hepatobiliary excretion – the intrinsic clearance of the liver Intrinsic clearance – ability of the liver to remove drug from the blood in the absence of any limitations imposed by blood flow or drug binding
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion HEPATIC DRUG CLEARANCE Hepatic clearance and extraction are determined by two independent variable: Intrinsic Clearance Hepatic blood Flow
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion ELIMINATION KINETICS Zero Order Kinetics - e limination of a constant quantity per time unit of the drug quantity present in the organism. First Order Kinetics - e limination of a constant fraction per time unit of the drug quantity present in the organism. The elimination is proportional to the drug concentration.
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion Zero-order elimination kinetics : The plasma concentration – time profile during the elimination phase is linear. For example 1.2 mg are eliminated every hour, independently of the drug concentration in the body. Zero order elimination is rather rare, mostly occurring when the elimination system is saturated. An example is the elimination of Ethanol.
PHARMACOKINETIC PATHWAY: excretion First-order elimination kinetics : For first order elimination, the plasma concentration – time profile during the elimination phase shows an exponential decrease in the plot with linear axes and is linear if plotted on a semi-logarithmic plot (plasma concentration on logarithmic axis and time on linear axis). For example, 1% of the drug quantity is eliminated per minute. Many drugs are eliminated by first order kinetics.

pharmacodynamic PATHWAY Physiologic effect of drugs and the molecular mechanisms by which those effects are produced What drugs do to the body? How do they do it?
Agonist and antagonist Target Structure/s Effect Drug Type Endogenous Substance Enzymes Receptors Activation Agonist Effector Signaling molecule Inhibition Antagonist Inhibitor
Agonist and antagonist AGONIST – drugs that binds to receptors and produce an effect DIRECT AGONIST – binds to receptor and mimics effect of endogenous signaling molecule INDIRECT AGONIST – enhances the effect PARTIAL AGONIST – drugs not capable of producing maximal effect
Agonist and antagonist ANTAGONIST – compounds that bind receptors without producing any changes in cellular function COMPETITIVE – bind reversibly to receptors; can be overcome by high concentration of agonist NONCOMPETITIVE – bind irreversibly to receptors; reversed only by synthesis of new receptors
Agonist and antagonist
pharmacodynamic PATHWAY EFFICACY Maximal response a drug can produce Depend on the number of drug receptor complexes formed and the efficiency they produce a cellular action A compound may bind to a receptor and have a zero efficacy. Not elicit a response, and may act as antagonist
pharmacodynamic PATHWAY POTENCY A measure of how much drug is required to elicit a given response The lower the dose required for a given response the more potent the drug
TOXICITY CURVE LETHAL DOSE the amount of drug that is lethal IN 100% of exposed population
Therapeutic index THERAPEUTIC INDEX important measure of the safety of the drug
