Quantitative study of drug movement in,
through and out of body
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Pharmacokinetics (PK) &
pharmacodynamics (PD)
• PK - What the body does to the drug?
– Absorption; distribution, metabolism,
excretion (ADME)
• PD - What the drug does to the body?
– Drug concentration at the site of action or
in the plasma is related to a magnitude of
effect
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
What is clinical
pharmacokinetics ?
• Study of the time course of a drug’s
movement through the body.
• Understanding of what the body does to (or
with) the drug.
• Application of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
(TDM) and individualisation of drug therapy.

Transportation
Biological Membrane
• Bilayer of phospholipid
and cholestrol molecule
– 100 Å thick
• Extrinsic and intrinsic
protein are embedded
in the membrane
• Glycoprotein – on the
surface
• This proteins varies
from cell to cell.
• Paracellular spaces and
channels are also
present
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Transportation
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Transportation
• Drugs are transported through
– Passive diffusion
– Filteration
– Specialized transport
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Transportation : Passive diffusion
• Drug diffuses from higher
concentration to lower
concentration across the
membrane.
• Lipid soluble drugs – dissolving
lipoidal matrix of membrane.
• Diffusion will depend on
– Lipid solubility of drug
– Difference in concentration
– pH of tissue
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Transportation : Filtration
• Passage of drug across
the aqueous pores in
the membrane or
through the para-
cellular spaces.
• Lipid insoluble drugs
crosses membrane
– Size of pores and drug
molecule
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Specialized Transport
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Specialized : Carrier Transport
• Transmembrane protein
– carriers and
transporters for
physiologically important
ions, nutrients,
metabolites,
transmitters
• Beside this they also
translocate xenobiotics
including drugs
metabolites
• Specific for the substrate
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Specialized : Carrier Transport
1. Transmembrane protein binds with their
substrate transiently.
2. Conformational changes – carrying the
substrate to the other side of membrane.
3. Dissociates
4. Return back to its original position
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Specialized : Carrier Transport
• Depending on the requirements of energy
– Facillated diffusion
– Active transport
• Primary active transport
• Secondary active transport
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Carrier Transport : Facilitated diffusion
• Belongs to super family of
solute carrier (SLC)
transporter
• Operates without need of
energy – transport in the
direction electrochemical
gradeint
• Higher to lower
concentration
• Ex: glucose in muscle and
fat cells by GLUT 4
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Carrier Transport : Active transport
• It requires energy and acts
against the electrochemical
gradient
• Selective accumulation of
solutes on 1 side
• Inhibited by metabolic
poison
Ex: levodopa and methyl dopa
absorbed from the gut -
aromatic amino acid
transport
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Active transport : Primary
• Directly by the hydrolysis
of ATP
• Transporter belongs to
superfamily of ATP
bindinig cassette (ABC)
• Only efflux of solute
from cytoplasm i.e. to
extracellular fluid or
intracellular organelli
• Also known as uniport
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Active transport : Secondary
• Another type of SLC
• Energy to pump one solute is derived from downhill
movement of another solute (mostly Na + )
• Symport/cotransport : concentration gradeint is
such that both solute move in same direction
• Antiport/exchange transport : move in opposite
direction
• Mediates uptake and efflux of drug and metabolite
Ex: Na + Cl – dependendent neurotransmittor
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Active transport : Secondary
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Active transport
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Specialized transport : Endocytosis
• Very little importance to the drug
translocation
• Large protein molecules and other metabolic
waste
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Absorption
• Movement of drug from its site of administration into
circulation
• Not only amount of absorption but also rate of
absorption is important
• Except when given i.v., the drug has to cross biological
membrane which is governed by following factor
– Aqueous solublity
– Concentration
– Area of absorbing surface
– Vascularity of absorbing surface
– Route of administration
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Bioavailability
• A concept for oral administration
• Useful to compare two different drugs or different
dosage forms of same drug
• Rate and extent of absorption of a drug
• Fraction of administered drug that reaches systemic
circulation in unchanged form
• Bioavailablity by i.v. is 100 % but by other routes it
decreases to some extent
– Incompletely absorbed
– First pass metabolism
– Sc/im – local binding
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Bioavailability
• Bioavailability is not a characteristic solely of
the drug preparation: variations in
– enzyme activity of gut wall or liver,
– in gastric pH or
– intestinal motility all affect it.
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Distribution
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Distribution
• Once the drug has gained access to blood it gets
distributed to other tissues
• the extent of distribution of a drug depends on:
– Lipid solublity
– Ionization at physiological pH
– Extent of binding to plasma
– Tissue protein : Fat
– Difference in regional blood flow
– Disease like CHF, Uremia, cirrhosis
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Apparent volume of Distribution
• Volume that accommodate all
the drugs in body, if the
concentration throughout was
same as in plasma
V = dose administered/plasma drug
concentration
Intravascular Extracellular Uniform Intracellular
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Apparent volume of Distribution
• Lipophilic drugs –
sequestration.
– Digoxin (6L/Kg), propranolol
(4 L/Kg), Morphine (3.5
L/Kg)
– Not easily removed by
haemodialysis in case of
toxicity
• Lipophobic drugs –
extracellular
• Streptomycin, gentamycin (0.25
L/Kg)
• Plasma protein bounded –
intravascular
• Diclofenac & warfarin (0.15 L/Kg
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Apparent volume of Distribution
• Pathological states alters the V
– Congestive heart failure
– Uremia
– Cirrhosis
• Multiple compartment models of drugs have
been worked out but single compartment
model is highly accepted ????
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Redistribution
• Highly lipid soluble drugs gets distributed to
– High perfusion low capacity , i.e. heart, brain, kidney
– Low perfusion high capacity – muscle fat
• When plasma concentration of drug falls, drug is
withdrawn from this site prolonging the action of
drug
• Greater the lipid solubility faster is its
redistribution. Ex : thiopentene sodium
• Short acting drugs can be prolonged by
administering slowing and continuously – low
perfusion high capacity tissues
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Blood Brain barrier
• Capillary endothelial cells
in brain have tight
junction and lack large
intercellular pores and
above that there is layer
of neural tissue – Blood
brain barrier.
• In Choroid plexus,
capillaries are lined by
choroidal epithelium with
tight junction – blood-CSF
barrier
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Blood Brain barrier
• Both this membrane allows lipoidal drug and
limit the entry of non-lipoidal drug. Ex:
streptomycin, neostigmine.
• Beside this,
– P-gp and anion transporter (OATP) extrude drugs
from brain.
– Enzymatic BBB : monoamine oxidase (MAO),
cholinesterase and some other enzymes – inhibit
catecholamines, 5-HT, acetylcholine
• Ex: Dopamine doesn’t enter but its percursor
levodopa does.
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Blood Brain barrier
• BBB is deficient
– Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone (CTZ) in medulla
oblongota – action of emetic drugs
– Peri-ventricular site – anterior hypothalmus.
• Exit of drug from brain is not dependent on
lipid solubility
• Bulk flow of CSF – arachnoid villi
• Non specific organic anion and cation transport
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Placental Barrier
• Placental membrane is lipoidal and allows free
passage of lipophillic drugs, while restricting
lypophobic drugs.
• But higher concentration of lypophobic drugs
in maternal circulation – gain access to foetus.
• Beside this
– Placental efflux – P-gp
– Influx transporter
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Plasma Protein Binding
• Physiochemical affinity for plasma proteins
– Acidic drugs – albumin
– Basic drugs – α1 acid glycoprotein
• Extent of binding depends on individual
compound – no generalization for
pharmacological class can be made.
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in

Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Clinical Significance of PPB
• Highly PPB drugs – intravascular compartment
except large paracellular spaces ( capillaries)
smaller volume of distribution
• Temporary storage of drug – bound protein is
not available for action
• High degree of PPB – long acting – bound
fraction is not available for metabolism, unless
it is exclusively extracted by liver or kidney,
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Clinical Significance of PPB
• One drug can bind to many sites of the protein
or two or more drug can bind at same site
– Displacement interaction
• Salicylate – sulfonylureas
• Indomethacin, phenytoin – warfarin
• Sulfonamides, vit K – bilirubin (kernicterus in neonates)
• Salicylates displaces methotrexate
• Hypoalbuminemia – binding is reduced, thus
high concentration of free drug may be
attained
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Metabolism
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Metabolism
Also known as biotransformation
• Chemical alteration in the body
• Causes loss of biological activity and thereby
excretion via renal route – increases
hydrophilicity
• Primary site of drug metabolism – liver
– Kidney, intestine, lungs and plasma.
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Biotransformation
– Activation – few drugs are administered in inactive
form (PRODRUG) and needs to be activated to form
active metabolite
• Stablity
• Good bioavailability
• Less side effect or toxicity
• Desirable pharmacokinetic properties
Ex: Morphine, cefotaxime, codeine, amitriptyline, digitoxin,
diazepam, losartan
– Inactivation – active metabolite and most drugs are
inactivated. Ex: Ibuprofen, paracetamol, lidocaine,
chloramphenicol, propranolol.
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Biotransformation
• Phase I (Non-synthetic/functionalization/
catabolic )
– Functional group is generated - more chemically
reactive
– oxidation, reduction or hydrolysis
• Phase II (Synthetic/Conjugation/Anabolic)
• results in inactive products (Exception : active sulfate metabolite
of minoxidil)
Both phases decrease lipid solubility, thus increasing renal
elimination.
Mostly occurs in liver, although some drugs are metabolised in
plasma (e.g. hydrolysis of suxamethonium by plasma
cholinesterase), lung (e.g. various prostanoids) or gut (e.g.
tyramine, salbutamol)
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Phase I : Oxidation
• Addition of oxygen/negatively charged radical or
removal of hydrogen/positively charged radical.
• Insertion of O - short lived highly reactive
quinone/epoxide/superoxide
• Most important metabolizing drug reaction and
various oxidation reactions are
– Hydroxylation,
– oxygenation at C, N or S atoms
– N/O dealkylation
– Oxidative deamination
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Phase I
• Cylcization
– Formation of ring from straight carbon chain
– Ex: Proguanil

warfarin
• Hydrolysis
– Cleavage of drug molecule by uptake of water with
help of enzyme like esterase, amidases, peptidases
– Ex: Choline esters, procaine, lidocaine, procainamide,
aspirin, carbamazepine-epoxide, pethidine, oxytocin

excreted in Urine
Conjugation with an
endogenous
substrate derived
from carbohydrate
or amino acid
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Phase II : Glucouronide Conjugation
– Drug containing hydroxyl or carboxylic acid group
gets conjugated with glucouronic acid (Derivative
of glucose) by enzyme UDP-glucouronosyl
transferase
– Ex: Chloramphenicol, aspirin, paracetamol,
lorazopam, morphine, metrondiazole
– Other than drugs: bilirubin, steroidal hormone
and thyroxine
– Increases the weight – favors bile excretion
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Phase II
• Acetylation
– Compounds having amino or hydrazine residues
conjugates – acetyl CoA
– Ex: Sulphonamides, isoniazides, PAS, hydralazine,
clonazapam, procainamide
• Methylation
– Amine and phenols gets methylated – methionine
and cysteine
– Ex – Adrenaline, histamine, nicotinic acid,
methyldopa, captopril, mecarptopurine
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Phase II
• Sulphate conjugation
– Phenolic and steroid compounds – sulfated by
sulfotransferase (SULTs)
– Ex: Chloramphenicol, methyldopa, adrenal and sex
steroids
• Glycine conjugation
– Salicylates and other drugs having carboxylic acid
– conjugated with glycine
– Not a major pathway
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Phase II
• Glutathione Conjugation
– Inactivates highly reactive quinones or epoxides
intermediates – paracetamol
– When glutothione falls short (toxicity)– toxic
adducts formed causing tissue damage
– Minor pathway
• Ribonucleoside/nucleotide synthesis
– Activation of purine and pyrimidine
antimetabolites – cancer chemotheraphy
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Metabolic Enzymes
• Most of drug gets metabolized by non specific
enzyme – directed to types of molecules rather
than specific drugs
• Few drugs metabolized by specific enzyme
(Intermediarry metabolism)
– Alcohol – dehydrogenase
– Allopurinol – Xanthine oxidase
– Succinylcholine and procaine – plasma cholinisterase
– Adrenaline – monoamine oxidase MOA
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Metabolic Enzymes
• Drug Metabolizing enzyme is divided in two
types
– Microsomal Enzyme
– Non-microsomal enzyme
• Both of this is deficit in new born – susceptible
to many drugs (chloramphenicol, opioids)
• Develops in 1st month partially and completely in 3 month.
• Amount and kind – genetically controlled,
altered by environmental factors
• Drug response variation
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Microsomal Enzyme
• Located in smooth ER primarily in liver, also in
kidney, intestinal mucosa and lungs
• Catalyze most of oxidations, reductions,
hydrolysis and glucouronide conjugation.
• Inducible by drugs, diet and other agencies
• Ex: Monooxygenases, cytochrome P 450,
glucouronyl transferase
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Non-microsomal Enzyme
• Present in cytoplasm and mitochondria of
hepatic cells as well as other tissue including
plasma
• Some oxidation and reduction, many
hydrolytic reactions and all conjugating except
glucouronidation
• Ex: Flavoprotein oxidases, esterases, amidases
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Hoffman Elmination
• Inactivation of drug in body fluids by
spontaneous molecular rearrangement
without use of any enzyme
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Inhibition of Drug Metabolism
• One drug can competitively inhibit the
metabolism of another if it utilizes the same
enzyme or co factors
• But its very rare as there 100 isoenzyme of
CYP-450 alone.
• Quinidine is metabolized by CYP3A4 but
inhibits CYP2D6
• Ex: Allopurinon, Erythromycin, Verapamil,
Metronidazole, Diltiazem
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Microsomal Enzyme Induction
• Many drugs, insecticides and carcinogens
interacts with DNA and increases the synthesis of
microsomal enzyme protein especially CYP-450
and glucouronyl transferase
• As a result metabolism of inducing drugs or other
drugs increases.
– Anticonvulsant ( Phenobarbitone, rifampin,
glucocorticoid) – CYP3A
– Isoniazid and chronic alcohol consumption – CYP2E1
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Consequence of Microsomal Enzyme
Induction
• Decreased intensity and duration of drug –
inactivated by metabolism (Oral
Contraceptive)
• Increase intensity – activated by metabolism
(Paracetamol toxicity)
• Tolerance – autoinduction (carbamazipine,
rifampin)
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Use of Enzyme Induction
• Congenital non-haemolytic jaundice
(deficient glucouronidation of bilirubin) –
phenobarbitone hastens clearance of jaundice
• Cushing Syndrome – phenytoin enhances
degradation of adrenal steroids
• Chronic Poisoning – faster metabolism of
poison
• Liver Disease
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Excretion
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Excretion
• Passage out of systemically absorbed drug,
• Its excreted in
1. Urine
2. Faeces
3. Exhaled Air
4. Saliva & sweat
5. Milk
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Excretion : Urine
• Most important channel for excretion of
drugs.
• It eliminates water soluble substances.
• Amount of drug or its metabolites depends on
– Glomerular filteration (GFR)
– Tubular Resorption (TR)
– Tubular Secretion (TS)
Net Renal Excretion = (GFR+TS) - TR
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Glomerular Filtration
• Glomerular capillaries – larger
pore than usual
• All non-protein bound drugs
(lipophillic/lipophobic) gets
filtered in glomerulus.
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Glomerular Filtration
• It depends on renal blood flow and PPB.
• GFR = 120 ml/min normally
• Declines with age
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Tubular Secretion
• Certain cations and
anions
• Epithelium of the
proximal tubules into the
tubular fluid via special,
energy consuming
transport systems – non
specific (OAT & OCT)
• limited capacity
• Competition inhibition
can occur
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Tubular Secretion
• If renal clearance is greater than 120 ml/min – TS
is assumed to occur
• It reduces the amount of free form of drug
• PPB drugs gets dissociated to get eliminated via
this route
• Organic Acid Transporter (OAT) : penicillin,
probencid, uric acid, salicylates, indomethacin,
methotrexate, glucouronides etc
• Organic base transporter (OCT) : thiazides,
amiloride, triamterene, furosemide, quinine,
choline, cimetidine
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Tubular Secretion
• Both transporter are bi-directional
• Its not well developed at birth – prolongs the
action of drugs (penicillin, cephalosporin)
• Gets matured in infancy
• Progressively declines after the age of 50 yrs
and almost lowers for most drugs after 75 yrs
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Tubular Resorption
• Passive diffusion and depends
on
– Lipid solubility
• 99 % of lipid soluble GF gets
resorbed
• Non-lipid soluble are unable to do
so
– Ionization of drug at existing pH
– highly ionized drugs not
resorbed
More Ionization
Nature of Drugs pH of urine
Weakly basic Acidic
Weakly acidic Alkaline
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Excretion : Faeces
• Most of it derived from bile
• Large molecular drug is transported by this
route
• Deconjugation by glucouronide drug
• Ex: Erythromycin, ampicillin, rifamipin,
tetracycline, oral contraceptives,
phenolphthalein
• Drugs gets directly eliminated – anthracene
purgatives, heavy metals
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Excretion
Exhaled air
• Gases and volatile drugs or paticulate matter –
irrespective of lipid solubility
• Alveolar transfer of gas – partial pressure in
blood
• Ex: G.A., paraldehyde, alcohol
Saliva & Sweat
• Minor importance for drug excretion
• Ex: Lithium, pot. Iodide, rifampin and heavy
metal
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
• Important for infant sucking milk of mother on drug
• Most of drug enter – breast milk by passive diffusion
• Lipid soluble and PPB drugs do it better
• % of drug reaching infant is very less – majority of
drugs can be given to lactating mothers without ill
effect
• But lactating mother should be prescribed with drugs
with caution
• Contraindicated drugs : Amidarone, Anthraquinone,
Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin, cyclosporine,
indomethacin, methotrexate, tetracyclin
• Special precaution : Ampicillin, aspirin, losarton,
metaclopromide, sulfonamide
Excretion : Milk
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Kinetics of Elmination
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Kinetics of Elmination
• understand how dosage recommendations
has been arrived in the product information
• use the drug optimally and understand its
limitations
• Severly ill patient
– individualise the dose regimen depending on how
rapidly a therapeutic plasma concentration is
required,
– whether the clearance of the drug is impaired
because of renal or liver disease.
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Pharmacokinetics Parameters
• Bioavailability (F) : Fraction of administered drug that
reaches systemic circulation in unchanged form
F = amt. Of drug that enters systemic circulation (AUC)
Dose administered
• Volume of Distribution (V): Volume that accommodate
all the drugs in body, if the concentration throughout
was same as in plasma
V = dose administered/plasma drug concentration
• Clearance (CL) : the volume of plasma containing the
total amount of drug that is removed from the body in
unit time
CL = Rate of elimination/C
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Rate of elimination
• 1st order Kinetics : most of the drug
– Rate of Elimination of drug is directly proportional
to drug concentration
– CL remains constant
• Zero order kinetics : few drugs
– Rate of elimination remains constant irrespective
of concentration
– CL decreases with increase of concentration
– Constant amount of drug is eliminated in unit time
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Plasma Half Life
• Half-life = time required for serum plasma
concentrations to decrease by one-half (50%)
• Mathematically
t ½ = 0.693/k
k = elimination rate constant i.e fraction of total
amount of drug removed per unit time
k = CL/V
• Complete drug elimination can occur in 4-5
half life
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Steady Plasma concentration
• Steady Plasma concentration (Cpss) –
repeated drug administration at relatively
short interval of time
• Input of drug balance = clearance
Cpss = dose rate/CL
From this equation, it is clear that dose rate can
be calculated if CL and target Cpss of drug is
known.
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Steady Plasma concentration
• Earlier equation is valid for drug route
administration where the bioavailability (F) is
100 %, but where it falls short the equation
turns to be
dose rate = (target Cpss X CL)/ F
Both this equation stands valid for the drugs
following 1st order kinetics
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Michelis Menten Kinetics
• Elimination changes from first order to 0 order
over the therapeutic range.
• This signifies that till the saturation level of drug,
Cpss is related to dose rate.
• But it turns out of proportion beyond it
Rate of drug elmination = (Vmax) (C) / Km + C
Km = plasma conc. at which elimination rate is half
maximal
C = plasma concentration of drug
Vmax = maximum rate of drug elimination
Ex: Phenytoin
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Plateau Principle of drug accumulation
• When constant dose of a drug is repeated
before the expiry of 4 t ½ , it would achieve
higher peak concentration, because some
remnant drug will be present in the body.
• Subsequently plasma concentration becomes
constant and forms a plateau and fluctuates
around desired therapeutic level of drug.
• Desired therapeutic level reaches 4-5 half lives
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
After every 4-5 half life the drug concentration falls to almost
3-4 %
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
So if the dose is repeated before the expiry of 4-5 half life, the
concentration of drug keeps on increasing after every
subsequent dose.
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
So its better to administer the drug in small dose over small
regular interval rather than large dose in large interval of timeVisit us www.dentaltutor.in
Target Level Strategy
Target Level Strategy Example
Narrow safety margin with
unquantified
pharmacokinetic data
Range of therapeutic
concentration
Anticonvulsant,
antidepressant, lithium,
antirythmics, theophyline
and some antimicrobials
Short half life Conventional interval (6-12
hrs) – fluctuating plasma
concentration
Penicilllin, amipicillin,
chloramphenical,
erythromycin, propranolol
Long half life Daily/weekly/Single dose MAO inhibitors, reserpine,
omeprazole
Steady drug concentration Loading Dose and
maintenance dose
Steroids
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Loading Dose
• Single or few quickly repeated dose to attain
target concentration rapidly
Loading dose = (target Cp x V )/ F
So loading dose is governed by V not CL or half life
of drug
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Maintenance dose
• The amount of drug given to maintain the
steady state plasma concentration (Cpss) of
drug at regular interval so as to balance the
elimination.
dose rate = (target Cpss X CL)/ F
So its dependent on CL or half life of drug
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)
• Cpss of a drug depends on its F, V and CL –
each of this parameters varies from patient to
patient
• Measurement of plasma concentration of
drug after initial drug administration (based
on average patient) can give all this parameter
of a individual
• This helps for the subsequent quantification of
drug dose regimen
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Use of TDM
• Low safety margin – digoxin, anticonvulsants,
antiarrythmics, theophylline, aminoglycerides,
lithium, TCA
• If individual variation are large – antidepressant,
lithium
• Potentially toxic drug used in renal failure –
aminoglycoside antibiotics, vancomycin
• In case of poisoning
• Failure of response without any reason
• Check patient compliane
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Prolongation of drug action
• Frequency of drug administration
• Improved patient compliance
• Large fluctuation of plasma concentration
should be avoided
• Drug effect could be maintained overnight
without disturbing sleep
All drugs cant be made long acting, Ex:
Sedatives, headache remedy) or longer acting
drugs
Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
Method to achieve this objective
• Prolonging the absorption from site of
administration
– Entral : Sustained relase tablets, spansules
– Parentral: Insoluble form (oily), pellet implantation,
sialistic and biodegradable implant, inclusion of
vasoconstriction
– Transdermal patches
• Increasing plasma protein binding
• Retarding metabolism
• Retarding elmination

Pharmacokinetics

  • 1. Clinical Pharmacokinetics Dr. Deepak Kr. Gupta, B.D.S. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 2. Quantitative study of drug movement in, through and out of body Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 3. Pharmacokinetics (PK) & pharmacodynamics (PD) • PK - What the body does to the drug? – Absorption; distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) • PD - What the drug does to the body? – Drug concentration at the site of action or in the plasma is related to a magnitude of effect Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 4. What is clinical pharmacokinetics ? • Study of the time course of a drug’s movement through the body. • Understanding of what the body does to (or with) the drug. • Application of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) and individualisation of drug therapy. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 5. Pharmacokinetics • Absorption • Distribution • Metabolism • Elimination Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 6. Study of [drug] over time Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 7. Transportation Biological Membrane • Bilayer of phospholipid and cholestrol molecule – 100 Å thick • Extrinsic and intrinsic protein are embedded in the membrane • Glycoprotein – on the surface • This proteins varies from cell to cell. • Paracellular spaces and channels are also present Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 9. Transportation • Drugs are transported through – Passive diffusion – Filteration – Specialized transport Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 10. Transportation : Passive diffusion • Drug diffuses from higher concentration to lower concentration across the membrane. • Lipid soluble drugs – dissolving lipoidal matrix of membrane. • Diffusion will depend on – Lipid solubility of drug – Difference in concentration – pH of tissue Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 11. Transportation : Filtration • Passage of drug across the aqueous pores in the membrane or through the para- cellular spaces. • Lipid insoluble drugs crosses membrane – Size of pores and drug molecule Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 12. Specialized Transport Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 13. Specialized : Carrier Transport • Transmembrane protein – carriers and transporters for physiologically important ions, nutrients, metabolites, transmitters • Beside this they also translocate xenobiotics including drugs metabolites • Specific for the substrate Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 14. Specialized : Carrier Transport 1. Transmembrane protein binds with their substrate transiently. 2. Conformational changes – carrying the substrate to the other side of membrane. 3. Dissociates 4. Return back to its original position Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 15. Specialized : Carrier Transport • Depending on the requirements of energy – Facillated diffusion – Active transport • Primary active transport • Secondary active transport Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 16. Carrier Transport : Facilitated diffusion • Belongs to super family of solute carrier (SLC) transporter • Operates without need of energy – transport in the direction electrochemical gradeint • Higher to lower concentration • Ex: glucose in muscle and fat cells by GLUT 4 Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 17. Carrier Transport : Active transport • It requires energy and acts against the electrochemical gradient • Selective accumulation of solutes on 1 side • Inhibited by metabolic poison Ex: levodopa and methyl dopa absorbed from the gut - aromatic amino acid transport Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 18. Active transport : Primary • Directly by the hydrolysis of ATP • Transporter belongs to superfamily of ATP bindinig cassette (ABC) • Only efflux of solute from cytoplasm i.e. to extracellular fluid or intracellular organelli • Also known as uniport Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 19. Active transport : Secondary • Another type of SLC • Energy to pump one solute is derived from downhill movement of another solute (mostly Na + ) • Symport/cotransport : concentration gradeint is such that both solute move in same direction • Antiport/exchange transport : move in opposite direction • Mediates uptake and efflux of drug and metabolite Ex: Na + Cl – dependendent neurotransmittor Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 20. Active transport : Secondary Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 21. Active transport Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 22. Specialized transport : Endocytosis • Very little importance to the drug translocation • Large protein molecules and other metabolic waste Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 23. Absorption • Movement of drug from its site of administration into circulation • Not only amount of absorption but also rate of absorption is important • Except when given i.v., the drug has to cross biological membrane which is governed by following factor – Aqueous solublity – Concentration – Area of absorbing surface – Vascularity of absorbing surface – Route of administration Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 24. Bioavailability • A concept for oral administration • Useful to compare two different drugs or different dosage forms of same drug • Rate and extent of absorption of a drug • Fraction of administered drug that reaches systemic circulation in unchanged form • Bioavailablity by i.v. is 100 % but by other routes it decreases to some extent – Incompletely absorbed – First pass metabolism – Sc/im – local binding Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 25. Bioavailability • Bioavailability is not a characteristic solely of the drug preparation: variations in – enzyme activity of gut wall or liver, – in gastric pH or – intestinal motility all affect it. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 27. Distribution • Once the drug has gained access to blood it gets distributed to other tissues • the extent of distribution of a drug depends on: – Lipid solublity – Ionization at physiological pH – Extent of binding to plasma – Tissue protein : Fat – Difference in regional blood flow – Disease like CHF, Uremia, cirrhosis Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 28. Apparent volume of Distribution • Volume that accommodate all the drugs in body, if the concentration throughout was same as in plasma V = dose administered/plasma drug concentration Intravascular Extracellular Uniform Intracellular Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 29. Apparent volume of Distribution • Lipophilic drugs – sequestration. – Digoxin (6L/Kg), propranolol (4 L/Kg), Morphine (3.5 L/Kg) – Not easily removed by haemodialysis in case of toxicity • Lipophobic drugs – extracellular • Streptomycin, gentamycin (0.25 L/Kg) • Plasma protein bounded – intravascular • Diclofenac & warfarin (0.15 L/Kg Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 30. Apparent volume of Distribution • Pathological states alters the V – Congestive heart failure – Uremia – Cirrhosis • Multiple compartment models of drugs have been worked out but single compartment model is highly accepted ???? Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 31. Redistribution • Highly lipid soluble drugs gets distributed to – High perfusion low capacity , i.e. heart, brain, kidney – Low perfusion high capacity – muscle fat • When plasma concentration of drug falls, drug is withdrawn from this site prolonging the action of drug • Greater the lipid solubility faster is its redistribution. Ex : thiopentene sodium • Short acting drugs can be prolonged by administering slowing and continuously – low perfusion high capacity tissues Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 32. Blood Brain barrier • Capillary endothelial cells in brain have tight junction and lack large intercellular pores and above that there is layer of neural tissue – Blood brain barrier. • In Choroid plexus, capillaries are lined by choroidal epithelium with tight junction – blood-CSF barrier Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 33. Blood Brain barrier • Both this membrane allows lipoidal drug and limit the entry of non-lipoidal drug. Ex: streptomycin, neostigmine. • Beside this, – P-gp and anion transporter (OATP) extrude drugs from brain. – Enzymatic BBB : monoamine oxidase (MAO), cholinesterase and some other enzymes – inhibit catecholamines, 5-HT, acetylcholine • Ex: Dopamine doesn’t enter but its percursor levodopa does. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 34. Blood Brain barrier • BBB is deficient – Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone (CTZ) in medulla oblongota – action of emetic drugs – Peri-ventricular site – anterior hypothalmus. • Exit of drug from brain is not dependent on lipid solubility • Bulk flow of CSF – arachnoid villi • Non specific organic anion and cation transport Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 35. Placental Barrier • Placental membrane is lipoidal and allows free passage of lipophillic drugs, while restricting lypophobic drugs. • But higher concentration of lypophobic drugs in maternal circulation – gain access to foetus. • Beside this – Placental efflux – P-gp – Influx transporter Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 37. Plasma Protein Binding • Physiochemical affinity for plasma proteins – Acidic drugs – albumin – Basic drugs – α1 acid glycoprotein • Extent of binding depends on individual compound – no generalization for pharmacological class can be made. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 40. Clinical Significance of PPB • Highly PPB drugs – intravascular compartment except large paracellular spaces ( capillaries) smaller volume of distribution • Temporary storage of drug – bound protein is not available for action • High degree of PPB – long acting – bound fraction is not available for metabolism, unless it is exclusively extracted by liver or kidney, Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 41. Clinical Significance of PPB • One drug can bind to many sites of the protein or two or more drug can bind at same site – Displacement interaction • Salicylate – sulfonylureas • Indomethacin, phenytoin – warfarin • Sulfonamides, vit K – bilirubin (kernicterus in neonates) • Salicylates displaces methotrexate • Hypoalbuminemia – binding is reduced, thus high concentration of free drug may be attained Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 43. Metabolism Also known as biotransformation • Chemical alteration in the body • Causes loss of biological activity and thereby excretion via renal route – increases hydrophilicity • Primary site of drug metabolism – liver – Kidney, intestine, lungs and plasma. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 45. Biotransformation – Activation – few drugs are administered in inactive form (PRODRUG) and needs to be activated to form active metabolite • Stablity • Good bioavailability • Less side effect or toxicity • Desirable pharmacokinetic properties Ex: Morphine, cefotaxime, codeine, amitriptyline, digitoxin, diazepam, losartan – Inactivation – active metabolite and most drugs are inactivated. Ex: Ibuprofen, paracetamol, lidocaine, chloramphenicol, propranolol. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 46. Biotransformation • Phase I (Non-synthetic/functionalization/ catabolic ) – Functional group is generated - more chemically reactive – oxidation, reduction or hydrolysis • Phase II (Synthetic/Conjugation/Anabolic) • results in inactive products (Exception : active sulfate metabolite of minoxidil) Both phases decrease lipid solubility, thus increasing renal elimination. Mostly occurs in liver, although some drugs are metabolised in plasma (e.g. hydrolysis of suxamethonium by plasma cholinesterase), lung (e.g. various prostanoids) or gut (e.g. tyramine, salbutamol) Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 48. Phase I : Oxidation • Addition of oxygen/negatively charged radical or removal of hydrogen/positively charged radical. • Insertion of O - short lived highly reactive quinone/epoxide/superoxide • Most important metabolizing drug reaction and various oxidation reactions are – Hydroxylation, – oxygenation at C, N or S atoms – N/O dealkylation – Oxidative deamination Visit us www.dentaltutor.in

  • 53. Phase II drug Phase I metabolite (Highly reactive) Phase II (polar highly ionized organic acid) easily excreted in Urine Conjugation with an endogenous substrate derived from carbohydrate or amino acid Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 54. Phase II : Glucouronide Conjugation – Drug containing hydroxyl or carboxylic acid group gets conjugated with glucouronic acid (Derivative of glucose) by enzyme UDP-glucouronosyl transferase – Ex: Chloramphenicol, aspirin, paracetamol, lorazopam, morphine, metrondiazole – Other than drugs: bilirubin, steroidal hormone and thyroxine – Increases the weight – favors bile excretion Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 56. Phase II • Acetylation – Compounds having amino or hydrazine residues conjugates – acetyl CoA – Ex: Sulphonamides, isoniazides, PAS, hydralazine, clonazapam, procainamide • Methylation – Amine and phenols gets methylated – methionine and cysteine – Ex – Adrenaline, histamine, nicotinic acid, methyldopa, captopril, mecarptopurine Visit us www.dentaltutor.in

Phase II • Glutathione Conjugation – Inactivates highly reactive quinones or epoxides intermediates – paracetamol – When glutothione falls short (toxicity)– toxic adducts formed causing tissue damage – Minor pathway • Ribonucleoside/nucleotide synthesis – Activation of purine and pyrimidine antimetabolites – cancer chemotheraphy Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 59. Metabolic Enzymes • Most of drug gets metabolized by non specific enzyme – directed to types of molecules rather than specific drugs • Few drugs metabolized by specific enzyme (Intermediarry metabolism) – Alcohol – dehydrogenase – Allopurinol – Xanthine oxidase – Succinylcholine and procaine – plasma cholinisterase – Adrenaline – monoamine oxidase MOA Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 60. Metabolic Enzymes • Drug Metabolizing enzyme is divided in two types – Microsomal Enzyme – Non-microsomal enzyme • Both of this is deficit in new born – susceptible to many drugs (chloramphenicol, opioids) • Develops in 1st month partially and completely in 3 month. • Amount and kind – genetically controlled, altered by environmental factors • Drug response variation Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 61. Microsomal Enzyme • Located in smooth ER primarily in liver, also in kidney, intestinal mucosa and lungs • Catalyze most of oxidations, reductions, hydrolysis and glucouronide conjugation. • Inducible by drugs, diet and other agencies • Ex: Monooxygenases, cytochrome P 450, glucouronyl transferase Visit us www.dentaltutor.in

Non-microsomal Enzyme • Present in cytoplasm and mitochondria of hepatic cells as well as other tissue including plasma • Some oxidation and reduction, many hydrolytic reactions and all conjugating except glucouronidation • Ex: Flavoprotein oxidases, esterases, amidases Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 63. Hoffman Elmination • Inactivation of drug in body fluids by spontaneous molecular rearrangement without use of any enzyme Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 64. Inhibition of Drug Metabolism • One drug can competitively inhibit the metabolism of another if it utilizes the same enzyme or co factors • But its very rare as there 100 isoenzyme of CYP-450 alone. • Quinidine is metabolized by CYP3A4 but inhibits CYP2D6 • Ex: Allopurinon, Erythromycin, Verapamil, Metronidazole, Diltiazem Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 65. Microsomal Enzyme Induction • Many drugs, insecticides and carcinogens interacts with DNA and increases the synthesis of microsomal enzyme protein especially CYP-450 and glucouronyl transferase • As a result metabolism of inducing drugs or other drugs increases. – Anticonvulsant ( Phenobarbitone, rifampin, glucocorticoid) – CYP3A – Isoniazid and chronic alcohol consumption – CYP2E1 Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 66. Consequence of Microsomal Enzyme Induction • Decreased intensity and duration of drug – inactivated by metabolism (Oral Contraceptive) • Increase intensity – activated by metabolism (Paracetamol toxicity) • Tolerance – autoinduction (carbamazipine, rifampin) Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 67. Use of Enzyme Induction • Congenital non-haemolytic jaundice (deficient glucouronidation of bilirubin) – phenobarbitone hastens clearance of jaundice • Cushing Syndrome – phenytoin enhances degradation of adrenal steroids • Chronic Poisoning – faster metabolism of poison • Liver Disease Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 69. Excretion • Passage out of systemically absorbed drug, • Its excreted in 1. Urine 2. Faeces 3. Exhaled Air 4. Saliva & sweat 5. Milk Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 70. Excretion : Urine • Most important channel for excretion of drugs. • It eliminates water soluble substances. • Amount of drug or its metabolites depends on – Glomerular filteration (GFR) – Tubular Resorption (TR) – Tubular Secretion (TS) Net Renal Excretion = (GFR+TS) - TR Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 73. Glomerular Filtration • Glomerular capillaries – larger pore than usual • All non-protein bound drugs (lipophillic/lipophobic) gets filtered in glomerulus. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 74. Glomerular Filtration • It depends on renal blood flow and PPB. • GFR = 120 ml/min normally • Declines with age Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 75. Tubular Secretion • Certain cations and anions • Epithelium of the proximal tubules into the tubular fluid via special, energy consuming transport systems – non specific (OAT & OCT) • limited capacity • Competition inhibition can occur Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 76. Tubular Secretion • If renal clearance is greater than 120 ml/min – TS is assumed to occur • It reduces the amount of free form of drug • PPB drugs gets dissociated to get eliminated via this route • Organic Acid Transporter (OAT) : penicillin, probencid, uric acid, salicylates, indomethacin, methotrexate, glucouronides etc • Organic base transporter (OCT) : thiazides, amiloride, triamterene, furosemide, quinine, choline, cimetidine Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 77. Tubular Secretion • Both transporter are bi-directional • Its not well developed at birth – prolongs the action of drugs (penicillin, cephalosporin) • Gets matured in infancy • Progressively declines after the age of 50 yrs and almost lowers for most drugs after 75 yrs Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 78. Tubular Resorption • Passive diffusion and depends on – Lipid solubility • 99 % of lipid soluble GF gets resorbed • Non-lipid soluble are unable to do so – Ionization of drug at existing pH – highly ionized drugs not resorbed More Ionization Nature of Drugs pH of urine Weakly basic Acidic Weakly acidic Alkaline Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 79. Excretion : Faeces • Most of it derived from bile • Large molecular drug is transported by this route • Deconjugation by glucouronide drug • Ex: Erythromycin, ampicillin, rifamipin, tetracycline, oral contraceptives, phenolphthalein • Drugs gets directly eliminated – anthracene purgatives, heavy metals Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 82. Excretion Exhaled air • Gases and volatile drugs or paticulate matter – irrespective of lipid solubility • Alveolar transfer of gas – partial pressure in blood • Ex: G.A., paraldehyde, alcohol Saliva & Sweat • Minor importance for drug excretion • Ex: Lithium, pot. Iodide, rifampin and heavy metal Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 83. • Important for infant sucking milk of mother on drug • Most of drug enter – breast milk by passive diffusion • Lipid soluble and PPB drugs do it better • % of drug reaching infant is very less – majority of drugs can be given to lactating mothers without ill effect • But lactating mother should be prescribed with drugs with caution • Contraindicated drugs : Amidarone, Anthraquinone, Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin, cyclosporine, indomethacin, methotrexate, tetracyclin • Special precaution : Ampicillin, aspirin, losarton, metaclopromide, sulfonamide Excretion : Milk Visit us www.dentaltutor.in

  • 85. Kinetics of Elmination • understand how dosage recommendations has been arrived in the product information • use the drug optimally and understand its limitations • Severly ill patient – individualise the dose regimen depending on how rapidly a therapeutic plasma concentration is required, – whether the clearance of the drug is impaired because of renal or liver disease. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 86. Pharmacokinetics Parameters • Bioavailability (F) : Fraction of administered drug that reaches systemic circulation in unchanged form F = amt. Of drug that enters systemic circulation (AUC) Dose administered • Volume of Distribution (V): Volume that accommodate all the drugs in body, if the concentration throughout was same as in plasma V = dose administered/plasma drug concentration • Clearance (CL) : the volume of plasma containing the total amount of drug that is removed from the body in unit time CL = Rate of elimination/C Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 87. Rate of elimination • 1st order Kinetics : most of the drug – Rate of Elimination of drug is directly proportional to drug concentration – CL remains constant • Zero order kinetics : few drugs – Rate of elimination remains constant irrespective of concentration – CL decreases with increase of concentration – Constant amount of drug is eliminated in unit time Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 88. Plasma Half Life • Half-life = time required for serum plasma concentrations to decrease by one-half (50%) • Mathematically t ½ = 0.693/k k = elimination rate constant i.e fraction of total amount of drug removed per unit time k = CL/V • Complete drug elimination can occur in 4-5 half life Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 89. Steady Plasma concentration • Steady Plasma concentration (Cpss) – repeated drug administration at relatively short interval of time • Input of drug balance = clearance Cpss = dose rate/CL From this equation, it is clear that dose rate can be calculated if CL and target Cpss of drug is known. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 90. Steady Plasma concentration • Earlier equation is valid for drug route administration where the bioavailability (F) is 100 %, but where it falls short the equation turns to be dose rate = (target Cpss X CL)/ F Both this equation stands valid for the drugs following 1st order kinetics Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 91. Michelis Menten Kinetics • Elimination changes from first order to 0 order over the therapeutic range. • This signifies that till the saturation level of drug, Cpss is related to dose rate. • But it turns out of proportion beyond it Rate of drug elmination = (Vmax) (C) / Km + C Km = plasma conc. at which elimination rate is half maximal C = plasma concentration of drug Vmax = maximum rate of drug elimination Ex: Phenytoin Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 92. Plateau Principle of drug accumulation • When constant dose of a drug is repeated before the expiry of 4 t ½ , it would achieve higher peak concentration, because some remnant drug will be present in the body. • Subsequently plasma concentration becomes constant and forms a plateau and fluctuates around desired therapeutic level of drug. • Desired therapeutic level reaches 4-5 half lives Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 93. After every 4-5 half life the drug concentration falls to almost 3-4 % Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 94. So if the dose is repeated before the expiry of 4-5 half life, the concentration of drug keeps on increasing after every subsequent dose. Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 95. So its better to administer the drug in small dose over small regular interval rather than large dose in large interval of timeVisit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 96. Target Level Strategy Target Level Strategy Example Narrow safety margin with unquantified pharmacokinetic data Range of therapeutic concentration Anticonvulsant, antidepressant, lithium, antirythmics, theophyline and some antimicrobials Short half life Conventional interval (6-12 hrs) – fluctuating plasma concentration Penicilllin, amipicillin, chloramphenical, erythromycin, propranolol Long half life Daily/weekly/Single dose MAO inhibitors, reserpine, omeprazole Steady drug concentration Loading Dose and maintenance dose Steroids Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 97. Loading Dose • Single or few quickly repeated dose to attain target concentration rapidly Loading dose = (target Cp x V )/ F So loading dose is governed by V not CL or half life of drug Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 98. Maintenance dose • The amount of drug given to maintain the steady state plasma concentration (Cpss) of drug at regular interval so as to balance the elimination. dose rate = (target Cpss X CL)/ F So its dependent on CL or half life of drug Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 99. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) • Cpss of a drug depends on its F, V and CL – each of this parameters varies from patient to patient • Measurement of plasma concentration of drug after initial drug administration (based on average patient) can give all this parameter of a individual • This helps for the subsequent quantification of drug dose regimen Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 100. Use of TDM • Low safety margin – digoxin, anticonvulsants, antiarrythmics, theophylline, aminoglycerides, lithium, TCA • If individual variation are large – antidepressant, lithium • Potentially toxic drug used in renal failure – aminoglycoside antibiotics, vancomycin • In case of poisoning • Failure of response without any reason • Check patient compliane Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 101. Prolongation of drug action • Frequency of drug administration • Improved patient compliance • Large fluctuation of plasma concentration should be avoided • Drug effect could be maintained overnight without disturbing sleep All drugs cant be made long acting, Ex: Sedatives, headache remedy) or longer acting drugs Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
  • 102. Method to achieve this objective • Prolonging the absorption from site of administration – Entral : Sustained relase tablets, spansules – Parentral: Insoluble form (oily), pellet implantation, sialistic and biodegradable implant, inclusion of vasoconstriction – Transdermal patches • Increasing plasma protein binding • Retarding metabolism • Retarding elmination Visit us www.dentaltutor.in
