This document provides an introduction to pharmacology and drug administration routes. It discusses the objectives of understanding drug resources, administration routes, absorption mechanisms, and key terminology. Several drug administration routes are defined, including intra-articular, intrathecal, intraosseous, and intraperitoneal injections. Factors that influence drug absorption like pH, blood flow, surface area, and P-glycoprotein expression are explained. Key terms like bioavailability, bioequivalence, therapeutic equivalence, and half-life are defined in regards to measuring drug properties and effects in the body.
Pharmacokinetics is the study of the movement of drug molecules in the body. It includes absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs. Pharmacokinetics is the study of what happens to drugs once they enter the body (the movement of the drugs into, within, and out of the body). For a drug to produce its specific response, it should be present in adequate concentrations at the site of action. This depends on various factors apart from the dose.
Four pharmacokinetic properties determine the onset, intensity, and the duration of drug action (Figure 1.6.1):
• Absorption: First, absorption from the site of administration permits entry of the drug (either directly or indirectly) into plasma.
• Distribution: Second, the drug may then reversibly leave the bloodstream and distribute it into the interstitial and intracellular fluids.
• Metabolism: Third, the drug may be biotransformed by metabolism by the liver or other tissues.
• Elimination: Finally, the drug and its metabolites are eliminated from the body in urine, bile, or feces.
In short, pharmacokinetics means what the body does to the drug.
Presentation covers the basics of pharmacokinetic. Mechanism for the transport of drug molecule. Absorption, factors affecting on absorption of drugs. Concept of bioavailability. Distribution, plasma protein binding, tissue binding, barriers.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

10. ROUTES OF DRUG ADMINISTRATION
Instillation In medicine, a method used to put a
liquid into the body slowly or drop by drop.
Irrigation In medicine, washing out an organ (such as the stomach or
colon), a body cavity, or a wound by flushing it with a fluid. Also called
lavage.
11.
12. ROUTES OF DRUG ADMINISTRATION
Intra-articular (IA) injections directly deliver high concentrations of
therapeutics to the joint space and are routinely used in various
musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis (OA) and
rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Intrathecal route relates to fluid-filled space between the thin layers of
tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord. Drugs can be injected into
the fluid or a sample of the fluid can be removed for testing
Intraosseous infusion is the process of injecting medications, fluids, or
blood products directly into the marrow of a bone; this provides a non-
collapsible entry point into the systemic venous system.
Intraperitoneal injections are a way to administer therapeutics and
drugs through a peritoneal route (body cavity). They are one of the few
ways drugs can be administered through injection, and have uses in
research involving animals, drug administration to treat ovarian
cancers, and much more.
15. The rate and extent of absorption depend on the environment where the drug
is
1. Absorbed,
2. Chemical characteristics of the drug,
3. The route of administration (which influences bioavailability). Routes of
administration other than intravenous may result in partial absorption
and lower bioavailability.
Depending on their chemical properties, drugs may be absorbed from the GI
tract by
1. Passive diffusion the drug moves from a region of high concentration to
one of lower concentration.
It does not involve a carrier, and shows a low structural specificity.
The vast majority of drugs are absorbed by this mechanism.
Water-soluble drugs penetrate the cell membrane through aqueous
channels or pores
whereas lipid-soluble drugs readily move across most biologic membranes
due to their solubility in the membrane lipid bilayers.
Mechanisms of absorption of drugs from the GI tract
16. 2.Facilitated diffusion Other agents can enter the cell through specialized
transmembrane carrier proteins that facilitate the passage of large molecules.
These carrier proteins undergo conformational changes, allowing the passage of
drugs or endogenous molecules into the interior of cells and moving them from
an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This process is
known as facilitated diffusion.
It does not require energy,
can be saturated, and
may be inhibited by compounds that compete for the carrier.
3. Active transport This mode of drug entry also involves specific carrier
proteins that span the membrane. A few drugs that closely resemble the
structure of naturally occurring metabolites are actively transported across cell
membranes using specific carrier proteins.
Energy-dependent active transport is driven by the hydrolysis of adenosine
triphosphate.
It is capable of moving drugs against a concentration gradient, from a region
of low drug concentration to one of higher drug concentration. The process is
saturable.
Active transport systems are selective and may be competitively inhibited by
other co-transporter substances.
17. 4.EndocytosisThis type of absorption is used to transport drugs of
exceptionally large size across the cell membrane. Endocytosis involves
engulfment of a drug by the cell membrane and transport into the cell
by pinching off the drug filled vesicle.
5. Exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis. Many cells use exocytosis
to secrete substances out of the cell through a similar process of vesicle
formation.
For Example
Vitamin B12 is transported across the gut wall by endocytosis, whereas
certain neurotransmitters (for example, norepinephrine) are stored in
intracellular vesicles in the nerve terminal and released by exocytosis.
Factors influencing absorption
1. Effect of pH on drug absorption
2. Blood flow to the absorption site
3. Total surface area available for absorption
4. Contact time at the absorption surface
5. Expression of P-glycoprotein
18. FACTORS INFLUENCING ABSORPTION
1. Effect of pH on drug absorption The pKa is a measure of the strength of the
interaction of a compound with a proton. The lower the pKa of a drug, the more
acidic it is. Conversely, the higher the pKa , the more basic is the drug.]
Distribution equilibrium is achieved when the permeable form of a drug achieves
an equal concentration in all body water spaces. The strength of the weak acid or
base, which is represented by the ionization constant, pKa.
2. Blood flow to the absorption site The intestines receive much more blood
flow than the stomach, so absorption from the intestine is favored over the
stomach.
3. Total surface area available for absorption With a surface rich in brush
borders containing microvilli, the intestine has a surface area about 1000-fold that
of the stomach, making absorption of the drug across the intestine more efficient.
4. Contact time at the absorption surface If a drug moves through the GI tract
very quickly, as can happen with severe diarrhea, it is not well absorbed.
Conversely, anything that delays the transport of the drug from the stomach to the
intestine delays the rate of absorption of the drug.
5. Expression of P-glycoprotein P-glycoprotein is a trans membrane transporter
protein responsible for transporting various molecules, including drugs,
across cell membranes (Figure 1.9). It is expressed in tissues throughout the
body, including the liver, kidneys, placenta, intestines, and brain capillaries,
and is involved in transportation of drugs from tissues to blood.
19. BIOAVAILABILITY
Bioavailability refers to the extent and rate at which the active moiety
(drug or metabolite) enters systemic circulation, thereby accessing the
site of action. Bioavailability of a drug is largely determined by the
properties of the dosage form, which depend partly on its design and
manufacture.
Bioavailability refers to the extent a substance or drug
becomes completely available to its intended biological
destination(s).
Determination of bioavailability:
Bioavailability is determined by comparing
plasma levels of a drug after a
particular route of administration (for example, oral administration)
with levels achieved by IV administration.
After IV administration, 100% of the drug
rapidly enters the circulation.
When the drug is given orally
only part of the administered
dose appears in the plasma.
20. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE BIOAVAILABILITY
In contrast to IV administration, which confers 100% bioavailability, orally
administered drugs often undergo first-pass metabolism.
First-pass hepatic metabolism When a drug is absorbed from the GI tract, it enters
the portal circulation before entering the systemic circulation (Figure 1.11). If the drug is
rapidly metabolized in the liver or gut wall during this initial passage, the amount of
unchanged drug entering the systemic circulation is decreased. This is referred to as
first-past metabolism.
Solubility of the drug Very hydrophilic drugs are poorly absorbed because of their
inability to cross lipid-rich cell membranes. Paradoxically, drugs that are extremely
lipophilic are also poorly absorbed, because they are totally insoluble in aqueous body
fluids and, therefore, cannot gain access to the surface of cells. For a drug to be readily
absorbed, it must be largely lipophilic, yet have some solubility in aqueous solutions.
This is one reason why many drugs are either weak acids or weak bases.
Chemical instability Some drugs, such as penicillin G, are unstable in the pH of the
gastric contents. Others, such as insulin, are destroyed in the GI tract by degradative
enzymes.
Nature of the drug formulation Drug absorption may be altered by factors
unrelated to the chemistry of the drug. For example, particle size, salt form, crystal
polymorphism, enteric coatings, and the presence of excipients (such as binders and
dispersing agents) can influence the ease of dissolution and, therefore, alter the rate of
absorption.
21. CONTINUE…
BIOEQUIVALENCE
Two drug formulations are bioequivalent if they show comparable
bioavailability and similar times to achieve peak blood concentrations.
Therapeutic equivalence
Two drug formulations are therapeutically equivalent if they are
pharmaceutically equivalent (that is, they have the same dosage form,
contain the same active ingredient, and use the same route of
administration) with similar clinical and safety profile.
HALF LIFE
The half-life of a drug is the time it takes for the amount of a drug's
active substance in your body to reduce by half. This depends on how
the body processes and gets rid of the drug. It can vary from a few
hours to a few days, or sometimes weeks.
