36. Excel worksheets; this is a lot easier than it appears at first
glance.
General comment: Because you are expected to obtain your
answers by visually examining the pharmacokinetic plots in the
associated Excel file, your quantitative answers will be graded
as correct if they were reasonably close to the exact answer.
There is no requirement to be precise.
Problem A:
The antibiotic genericomycin (not a real one) is administered by
iv bolus to hospitalized patients. The antibiotic has an
elimination half-life of 4.0 h in people. Previous experience has
shown that to be effective at reducing the bacterial burden its
plasma concentration must equal or higher than 5 µg/ml (Ceff).
Question 1: Using the “Intravenous” tab of the Excel file,
determine the duration of action of the following iv bolus doses
and enter the values in the table below.
Hint: You can eyeball the time values from the chart or read
them from the list of Cp vs time for the Plot (blue numbers)
Answer 1:
Dose
(mg)
Duration of Action
(h)

Question 2: What is the effect of doubling the dose on the
duration of action?
37. Answer 2: it adds the duration of action by 4 hours
Question 3: What would be the necessary iv bolus dose to
establish plasma concentration 5 µg/ml at 24 h? Is this dose
realistic? Assume genericomycin costs $10/mg.
Answer 3:
Problem B:
You have created a new company, NovoAntibiot, Inc. with the
intention of creating a new antibiotic with much better
properties than genericomycin. Your clinical advisors suggest
that the new antibiotic should be administered by iv bolus once
a day with a dose of at most 560 mg per person (your new
therapeutic product profile).
Question 4: What elimination half-life should you design in
your new antibiotic to achieve a plasma concentration of at least
5 µg/ml 24 h after a 560 mg iv bolus dose?
Answer 4: 40
Welcome to drug discovery! After working for 2 years and
spending $15 M from your Angel and series A investors you
were unable to increase the half-life of your new antibiotics. All
of them still have halflives around 4 h. But you got lucky, some
of your new compounds have higher potency. Drug candidate
NABT 813, is much more potent than genericomycin. In vitro
experiments and animal models suggest that the minimum
effective concentration (Ceff) in humans will be 1 µg/ml.
Question 5: What iv bolus dose of NABT 813 will treat the
patients for 24h if its elimination half-life is 4.0 h and its Ceff
is 1 µg/ml? Is it realistic? (compare with your Answer 3
above).)
Answer 5: 140mg
38. Problem C
Unfortunately, your new antibiotic NABT 813 decreased the
number and body weight of rat pups in formal GLP repro-tox
studies in rats. The compound cannot be used in women who
might not know whether they are pregnant at the time they are
admitted to the hospital with a systemic infection. This is a
crushing blow and your investors abandon you. The new drug
discovery program is terminated.
However, your PK consultant suggests that you might be able to
formulate genericomycin for subcutaneous administration by
creating an insoluble salt and adding some excipients that will
retard its absorption, allowing (perhaps) once a day dosing.
Your intellectual property attorney states that you might be able
to obtain patent protection for the new formulation if you
demonstrate substantial advantages over the generic iv
formulation. You apply for and get an SBIR grant to
demonstrate proof of (PK) concept.
Question 6: In the “Subcutaneous” tab of the Excel file, set the
elimination half-life of genericomycin to 4.0 h, its Ceff at 5
µg/ml, and its dose to 280 mg. Examine the effect of changing
the absorption half-life of genericomycin from your new
formulations by replacing the value of t1/2 (abs) and complete
the table below.

Hint: You can eyeball the above values from the chart or read
them from the list of Cp vs time for the Plots (blue numbers).
No need to be very precise.
Question 7: Why does the PK profile for absorption with a very
short half-life (0.05 h) look like the ivbolus profile? (This never
happens in real life….)
Answer 7: Clearance is more rapid and half-lives are shorter
Question 8: What is the effect of increasing the absorption half-
life on Tmax and Cmax?
Answer 8: increasing tmax increases absorption while
increasing cmax decreases absorption
Question 9: Is there any value of absorption half-life that will
allow you to have plasma concentration higher or equal to Ceff
at 24 h when dosing sc 280 mg?
Answer 9: yes
40. Question 10: What is the duration of action of genericomycin at
a dose of 280 mg if it is administered in the formulation with
absorption half-life of 10 hours?
Answer 10: 4.3
Problem X (bonus):
Your microbiology consultant tells you that an analogue of
genericomycin with longer eliminationhalflife was developed in
the Soviet Union in the 1960’s, but it never reached the West
and was forgotten. Its name was bolshoimitsina and had an
elimination half-life in humans of 7.8 h, and Ceff also 5 µg/ml.
You obtain a sample of bolshoimitsina via a website vendor in
Bulgaria and find that it also has a sc absorption half-life of
10.0 h in your preferred formulation.
Question 11: What sc dose of formulated bolshoimitsina will
provide a plasma concentration equal to Ceff 5 µg/ml at 24 h?
Answer 11: 9.43mg
Question 12: At the dose of bolshoimitsina you found in Answer
11, when does the drug start having its effect in the patient?
Answer 12: 0.5hrs
