8. Pharmacokinetics
What the body does to the drug
t1/2 (Half-Life)
- the time required for the plasma concentration of a
drug
to be reduced by 50%
ED50 (effective dose)
- The dose of a drug that is effective for 50% of the
population exposed to the drug
LD50 (lethal dose)
- the dose at which death occurs in 50% of
subjects
10. Interaction of drugs with cellular
proteins, such as receptors or enzymes,
to control changes in physiological
function of particular organs.
Drug-Receptor Interactions
Signal Transduction
Dose-Response

12. - Based on the chemical structure
- Based on the main effect (e.g.
analgesics).
-Based on the therapeutic use (e.g.
antidepressant).
-Based on mechanism of action (e.g.
serotonin agonist).

30. Dosage: Amount of drug to be administered
usually based on weight.
Example: mg/kg
Concentration: How the drug is formulated into
a solution . Example: mg/ml
Injection Volume: A liquid measurement based
on weight . Example: ml/kg

32. Drug Formulation
examples……
VERY SIMPLE FORMULATION:
A rat needs to be administered a dosage of 50mg.
The drug is in a liquid form of concentration 25 mg/ml.
What volume of the solution needs to be injected?
33. Drug Formulation
examples……
SIMPLE FORMULATION:
The rat weighs 350 g.
The maximum volume to be injected IP in a rat is 1ml/kg.
The dose to be administered is 10mg/kg.
The dose is in a liquid concentration of 10mg/ml.
What volume of the solution will be injected into the rat?
34. Drug Formulation
examples……
SIMPLE FORMULATION:
The rat weighs 350 g.
The maximum volume to be injected IP in a rat is 1ml/kg.
The dose to be administered is 10mg/kg.
The dose is in a liquid concentration of 10mg/ml.
SIMPLE ANSWER:
1. Transform weight: A 350 g. rat = 0.35 kg.
2. Determine max. vol.: 0.35 kg X 1ml/kg = 0.35 ml volume
