Presentation Transcript

  1. Pharmacokinetics Mathematic descript. of A) Biolog. processes affecting drugs B) Biolog. processes affected by drugs drugs • Mathematical expressions to describe temporal changes in drug conc. • Determine constrains related to ADME processes Optimal dossage regime (how much drug, how often etc.) Bad kinetics -- Need for improved structure

  2. Compartment models Two compartment model One compartment modell The whole body = central compartment Drug rapidly distributed thru out the body Central compartment (plasma etc) Peripher compartment (certain tissue, organs etc)

  3. Linear Pharmacokinetics • 1. order process; Rate (biotransformation) Size of Dose • Drug transported by passive diffusion • Drug conc in organ  Size of Dose • t 1/2 elimination, elimination rate const independent of Dose • Biotransformation: • transformation of drugs between “compartments” • absorbtion • elimination • Non-Linear Pharmacokinetics • 0. order kinetics • Rate of biotransformation independent of Dose • Carrier-Protein with a given max capasity involved in biotransform. (Michaelis-Menten) • More complicated situations: • Reabsorb. of drug in kidney • Metabolites inhib. their own formation (neg. feed back)

  4. The appearant volume of distribution (V) • Normally characteristic of drug (not biolog. systhem) • Influenced by certain diseases (changes in blood compossition, tot. body fluid, tussue permeability) • Independent of drug conc. (lineær pharmacokinetics) V: <10 L - >100 L

  5. Clearance (Cl) • Function of blood flow • Function of an organs capasity to metabol. / excrete • Hypothetic vol. of distribution from which the drug is removed / time

  6. Bioavailability Rate and extent to which the drug reach general circulation • Comparison of plasma conc vs time plots • Different drug • Same drug, different formulation • Drug with and witout food etc.
