applications of pharmacokinetics in drug developmentRitikaVaishnav1
This document discusses the applications of pharmacokinetics in drug development. Pharmacokinetics is the study of how the body affects a drug over time, including absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. It can be used to design drugs with fewer side effects and better efficacy, develop optimal formulations, select appropriate administration routes, predict interactions, and adjust dosages based on individual physiology. Pharmacokinetic principles aid in developing targeted delivery systems and determining dosage regimens to safely and effectively achieve therapeutic objectives.
This document discusses measurements of bioavailability. It defines bioavailability and bioequivalence. There are two main methods to measure bioavailability - pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic. Pharmacokinetic methods include plasma level time studies and urinary excretion studies which measure parameters like Cmax, Tmax, and AUC from plasma data or urinary excretion rate and amount excreted from urine data. Pharmacodynamic methods include measuring acute pharmacological responses or therapeutic responses but have disadvantages like variable individual responses.
Drug transporters play an important role in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. They are located in organs like the intestine, liver, and kidney and can influence the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs through drug-drug interactions. Transporters can be either uptake transporters that move drugs into cells or efflux transporters that move drugs out of cells. Inhibition or induction of these transporters by coadministered drugs can increase or decrease the intracellular concentrations of victim drugs, altering their effects. This is an important consideration for drug interactions.
Nonlinear pharmacokinetics occurs when the body's processing of a drug is saturated at higher doses, causing kinetics parameters like clearance and half-life to change with dose. Michaelis-Menten kinetics are commonly used to model nonlinear metabolism, where the metabolic rate approaches a maximum (Vmax) at high concentrations. Parameters like Vmax and KM can be estimated from steady-state dosing and concentration data by linearizing the Michaelis-Menten equation. Drugs like phenytoin exhibit nonlinear kinetics due to capacity-limited hepatic metabolism.
This document discusses bioavailability of drugs that follow nonlinear pharmacokinetics and chronopharmacokinetics. It defines nonlinear pharmacokinetics as drug absorption, distribution, and elimination processes that are dependent on carrier enzymes and can become saturated at high drug concentrations. It also defines chronopharmacokinetics as changes in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination due to circadian rhythms. Key aspects that can vary in a circadian manner include gastric emptying, gastrointestinal blood flow, liver enzyme activity, renal blood flow, and urinary pH. Understanding these nonlinear and circadian factors is important for accurate therapeutic drug monitoring and reducing side effects.
The document discusses bioavailability, which is the rate and amount of an administered drug that reaches systemic circulation. Bioavailability can be affected by physiological, formulation, and drug properties. It is assessed by parameters like time to peak concentration, maximum concentration, area under the curve, onset and duration of action, which are illustrated using plasma concentration versus time curves. Absolute and relative bioavailability are defined and can be calculated from these parameters or from urinary drug excretion data.
Plasma half-life refers to the time it takes for a drug's concentration in the blood to reduce to half its original level. Steady state concentration occurs when the rate of drug administration equals the rate of elimination, which generally takes around five half-lives. Steady state is important when interpreting drug concentrations over time or assessing clinical response. Therapeutic drug monitoring measures drug levels and is useful when the relationship between concentration and response/toxicity is established and the therapeutic range is narrow.

Spermatogenesis steps, hormonal regulation and abnormalitiesMdNazmulIslamTanmoy
Spermatogenesis is the process by which sperm cells are produced in males. It occurs in three stages: spermatocytogenesis where spermatogonia proliferate into primary spermatocytes, meiosis where primary spermatocytes undergo two divisions to form spermatids, and spermiogenesis where spermatids undergo changes to form spermatozoa. Hormones like testosterone, LH, FSH, growth hormone, and estrogen regulate spermatogenesis by stimulating Leydig and Sertoli cells. Abnormalities can result in conditions like azoospermia, oligozoospermia, and teratozoospermia.
Enzyme catalysed reactions, enzyme kinetics and it’s mechanism of action.MdNazmulIslamTanmoy
Enzymes are protein catalysts that regulate chemical reactions in living organisms. They accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy of transition states through interactions with substrates. Enzymes are classified based on the type of reaction they catalyze, such as oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, and ligases. Enzyme kinetics follow the Michaelis-Menten model where the enzyme-substrate complex breaks down into products. The catalytic activity of enzymes is explained by thermodynamic changes in transition states and specific interactions between the enzyme and substrate at its active site.

Biopharmaceutical classification system of drug
This document introduces physiological factors influencing drug availability, including the circulatory system and mechanisms of drug absorption across membranes. The circulatory system transports nutrients, oxygen, and wastes through the heart, blood, and vessels. There are three types of circulation: systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the heart to cells and back, pulmonary circulation moves deoxygenated blood between the heart and lungs, and portal circulation transports blood from the intestines to the liver. Drug absorption is influenced by membrane physiology, with mechanisms including carrier-mediated transport like active transport against gradients and facilitated diffusion, as well as non-carrier mediated simple diffusion down concentration gradients.
This document introduces concepts related to biopharmaceutics including Fick's first law of diffusion, gastrointestinal physiology, and the relationship between drug products and their pharmacological action. It defines key terms such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Fick's first law states that the rate of diffusion across a membrane is proportional to the difference in drug concentration on each side. The document also describes the anatomy and protective mucous layer of the gastrointestinal tract, and explains that orally administered drugs must dissolve before being absorbed and distributed throughout the body, where they may act, be stored, metabolized, or excreted.

The liver is the largest gland in the body and performs many critical metabolic functions like carbohydrate and protein metabolism. It also plays an important role in hormone regulation, bile production, and blood clotting factor synthesis. Chronic liver disease can lead to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis over many years. Cirrhosis is characterized by liver scarring and nodule formation, resulting in loss of liver function. Common causes include alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Complications arise due to portal hypertension and liver failure. Diagnosis involves liver biopsy or lab tests showing abnormalities in liver enzymes and clotting factors.

Biopharmaceutics is the study of physiochemical properties of
drugs and dosage forms and affect the route of administration on
the rate and extent of drug absorption.
Biopharmaceutics is based on the physical and chemical properties
of drug substance and formulation and physiology of the route of
administration.
4. PHARMACOKINETICS
Pharmacokinetics is the science of the kinetics of drug absorption
distribution metabolism and excretion.
The purpose of pharmacokinetic is to study the time course of
amount and concentration of drug and its metabolite in the different
tissue in the body and to construct suitable model to interpret the
data.
5. IMPORTANCE OF

6. PHARMACODYNAMICS
- Pharmacodynamics is defined as the study of biochemical and physiological
effect of drugs and their mechanism of action.
- It deals with the relationship between concentration of the drug at the site of
action and the magnitude of effect produced by the drug that is the intensity
and time course of effect produced by the drug.

8. PLASMA LEVEL TIME CURVE
The plasma level time curve is generated
by obtaining the drug concentration in
plasma samples taken as various time
intervals after a drug product is
administered.
Drug concentration each plasma sample
is plotted against the corresponding time
at which the plasma sample was
withdrawn.
9. • MSC: maximum safe concentration of drug above which shows toxic effect.
• MEC: minimum concentration of drug needed at the receptor side to produce the diesel
pharmacologic effect.
• MTC: minimum drug concentration needed to just barely produce a toxic effect.
• Onset time: the time required for the drug to reach the MEC. Duration of action: the difference
between onset time and the time for the drug to decline back to the MEC.
• Tmax: the time at which maximum drug concentration observed in plasma. It is proportional
to the rate of drug absorption.
• Cmax: the maximum drug concentration observed in plasma at a particular time. It is usually
related to the dose and rate constant for absorption and elimination of the drug.
• AUC: it is related to the amount of drug absorbed systemically.
