Factors affecting protein drug binding and rotein drug bindingAshwani Kumar Singh
Factors that can affect protein-drug binding include drug properties, protein properties, drug interactions, and patient characteristics. Drug properties like lipophilicity, concentration, and affinity determine binding, while protein concentration and binding sites influence binding. Drug interactions can occur via competition for binding sites or with normal constituents. Patient age, genetic variations, and disease states can also impact binding by altering protein levels.
Chronopharmacology is the study of variations in drug effects over biological times and circadian rhythms. It considers how drugs interact with living systems depending on the time of day they are administered. Biological rhythms like circadian (24-hour), ultradian (<20 hours), and infradian (>28 hours) rhythms influence physiological functions and drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Chronotherapy aims to increase drug efficacy and safety by timing drug administration according to biological rhythms. It has applications in treating cancers, asthma, hypertension, strokes, and other conditions. Recent advances include circadian-aligned drug delivery systems and future approaches may integrate chronopharmacology with systems biology and nanomedicine.
1. Drug absorption involves the movement of unchanged drug molecules from the site of administration into systemic circulation. It occurs primarily through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and is influenced by factors like solubility, permeability, and transport mechanisms.
2. There are three main mechanisms of drug transport across the GI tract - transcellular, paracellular, and vesicular. Transcellular transport occurs across cells and includes passive diffusion, active transport, and carrier-mediated transport. Paracellular transport is between cell junctions. Vesicular transport involves endocytosis within cells.
3. The most common mechanism is passive diffusion, which does not require energy. Other mechanisms like active transport and carrier-mediated transport use

Factors like lipophilicity and solubility affect drug absorption, and properties like volume of distribution and clearance impact half-life. Pharmacokinetics also aids in identifying metabolic pathways and drug-metabolizing enzymes. Protein binding influences pharmacokinetic properties and drug effects.
This document discusses renal and non-renal routes of drug excretion. It describes the key organs and processes involved in excretion, including the nephron in renal excretion and factors that determine if a drug is excreted renally or non-renally. Non-renal excretion includes biliary excretion through the liver and bile ducts. Clearance, excretion ratio, and other pharmacokinetic concepts relating to measurement of excretion are also covered.
The document discusses various drugs used to treat peptic ulcers. It begins by describing peptic ulcers and their pathogenesis. It then covers several classes of anti-ulcer drugs that work by reducing acid secretion, such as H2 blockers like cimetidine and proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole. Other drug approaches discussed include agents that enhance mucosal defense like misoprostol, and antacids that neutralize gastric acid. The role of Helicobacter pylori infection in ulcers is also summarized.
Pharmacokinetics / Biopharmaceutics - Drug Elimination Areej Abu Hanieh
Drugs are eliminated from the body through excretion and biotransformation. Excretion involves removing the drug intact, such as through urine or bile, while biotransformation involves enzymatic chemical conversions of the drug through phase I and phase II reactions in the liver and other tissues. The rate of drug elimination determines its clearance from the body, with renal clearance and hepatic clearance being the major pathways. First-pass effects can reduce oral bioavailability for drugs that are highly metabolized in the liver or intestines.
Neurohumoral transmission in CNS ,special emphasis on importance of various neurotransmitters like with GABA, Glutamate, Glycine, serotonin and dopamine
This document discusses kinetics of multiple dosing, drug accumulation, and concepts of loading and maintenance doses. It provides definitions and formulas for calculating accumulation factor, steady state levels, loading doses, and maintenance doses. The key points are:
1) Multiple dosing leads to drug accumulation until steady state is reached when the drug entering and leaving the system are equal.
2) Loading doses provide rapid target concentrations while maintenance doses maintain therapeutic levels.
3) Calculations for loading and maintenance doses depend on clearance, volume of distribution, and bioavailability. Maintaining therapeutic levels with minimal fluctuations is the goal of multiple dosing regimens.
Chronopharmacology is the science concerned with how the pharmacological effects of drugs vary over biological times and circadian rhythms. It takes into account that many physiological functions and disease states fluctuate over 24-hour cycles. Optimizing drug dosing according to circadian rhythms can increase efficacy and safety. Examples given include dosing asthma medications in the evening to prevent nighttime attacks, dosing blood pressure medications at night to prevent heart issues in the morning, and dosing ulcer medications at bedtime to reduce nighttime acid secretion. Recent advances include developing drug delivery systems to match circadian rhythms.
The document discusses nonlinear pharmacokinetics and chronopharmacokinetics. Nonlinear pharmacokinetics occurs when the body's absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of a drug becomes saturated at higher doses. This can cause the rate of drug elimination to decrease. Examples of processes that can become saturated include drug metabolism and renal excretion. Circadian rhythms can also impact drug pharmacokinetics by influencing absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion over 24-hour periods. Accounting for these temporal changes can improve drug therapy for circadian phase-dependent diseases.
This document discusses drug distribution, including tissue permeability, compartments for drug storage, plasma protein binding, kinetics of protein binding, factors affecting binding, and clinical significance. It notes that distribution is driven by concentration gradients and is not uniform across tissues. It also discusses redistribution between compartments over time. Protein binding influences absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and effects of drugs.
Bioavailability refers to the amount of drug that enters systemic circulation after administration. It is measured using pharmacokinetic methods like plasma concentration-time profiles and urinary excretion studies, or pharmacodynamic methods like measuring physiological responses. Key parameters include AUC, Cmax, Tmax, which provide information on extent and rate of absorption. Absolute bioavailability compares oral and intravenous dosing, while relative bioavailability compares different oral formulations. Multiple dose studies can assess steady-state characteristics. Bioavailability studies are important for drug development and quality control.
Circadian rhythms exist in many physiological processes and influence disease symptoms and drug effects. Disrupting rhythms through shift work or jet lag can cause adverse consequences. Chronopharmacology aims to optimize drug therapy based on biological rhythms. Factors like food, induction, and inhibition impact drug levels over time, necessitating chronotherapeutic approaches. Diseases like asthma, arthritis, and diabetes exhibit circadian patterns, suggesting timing medications for peak symptoms. Biological clocks govern rhythms, so understanding chronopathology allows chronotherapy for maximizing drug effects.
This document presents information on estimating the absorption rate constant using the method of residuals. It discusses absorption and compartment models, outlines the steps of the method of residuals for a one compartment model, and notes considerations like lag time, flip-flop phenomena, and applications and limitations of the method. The method involves plotting drug concentrations over time, obtaining slopes for the terminal and residual lines to determine the absorption and elimination rate constants. It is best suited for rapidly absorbed drugs following one-compartment kinetics.
Bradykinin and substance P are neuropeptides that act as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Bradykinin is generated from kininogens by the enzyme kallikrein and acts through B1 and B2 receptors. It causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and pain sensation. Substance P is an undecapeptide related to neurokinin A that is synthesized in the nervous system and distributed throughout the brain and peripheral tissues. It acts through neurokinin 1 receptors and is involved in nociception and inflammation. Antagonists of bradykinin and substance P receptors have potential therapeutic applications.
The document discusses anti-ulcer drugs. It begins by describing peptic ulcers and the imbalance between aggressive and defensive factors that can lead to their development. It then covers the classes of anti-ulcer drugs, including H2 blockers that reduce acid secretion, proton pump inhibitors, prostaglandin analogs, and antacids. Sucralfate and colloidal bismuth subcitrate are also covered as ulcer protective drugs. Diagnostic tests for ulcers like endoscopy and barium meal are mentioned. The goal of anti-ulcer treatment is outlined as relieving pain, promoting healing, preventing complications, and reducing relapse.
Absorption of drugs from non per os extravascular administrationSuvarta Maru
Non-oral routes of drug administration provide advantages over oral routes by bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and avoiding first-pass metabolism. Common non-oral routes discussed include buccal/sublingual, rectal, topical, intramuscular, subcutaneous, pulmonary, intranasal, intraocular, and vaginal administration. Absorption through these routes occurs primarily via passive diffusion, carrier-mediated transport, or pore transport depending on the drug properties and administration site. Non-oral routes allow for rapid drug absorption, higher bioavailability compared to oral routes, and targeted delivery for local or systemic effects.
Protein binding of drugs can be reversible or irreversible. Reversible binding involves weak interactions like hydrogen bonds or hydrophobic bonds, while irreversible binding results from covalent bonds. Drugs bind to plasma proteins like albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, as well as to components in blood cells and extravascular tissues. The extent of protein binding affects the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs. It determines the amount of active, unbound drug available to elicit its pharmacological response. Protein binding is influenced by factors related to the drug, binding proteins, and patient characteristics. It is important for understanding a drug's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
The document discusses drug absorption through various routes of administration like oral, transdermal, nasal, etc. It covers the cell membrane mechanisms involved in drug transport, including passive diffusion, active transport, carrier-mediated transport and endocytosis. Factors affecting drug absorption are categorized as pharmaceutical, dosage form related and patient related. Key physicochemical properties discussed are drug solubility, dissolution rate and theories of dissolution.
Bioavailability and bioequivalence studies are essential to ensure uniform quality, efficacy, and safety of pharmaceutical products. Bioavailability measures the rate and amount of drug that reaches systemic circulation, while bioequivalence demonstrates that generic and brand name products have comparable rates and extents of absorption. Well-designed pharmacokinetic studies are commonly used to assess bioequivalence by comparing AUC and Cmax of test and reference products. Factors like dosage form, solubility, transit time and metabolism can influence bioavailability, so studies may be necessary after manufacturing changes or for different routes of administration. Guidelines regulate bioequivalence testing to allow approval of lower-cost generic drugs while maintaining therapeutic equivalence.
This document discusses drug-protein binding, which refers to the reversible or irreversible binding of drugs to plasma proteins like albumin and glycoprotein. The extent of binding determines the amount of free drug available to elicit pharmacological effects. Protein binding influences drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. Highly bound drugs have lower volumes of distribution and clearance rates. Binding saturates at high drug concentrations, increasing free drug levels. Patient factors like age and disease states can also impact binding by altering protein concentrations. Understanding protein binding is important for predicting a drug's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
Drug-plasma protein binding plays a key role in drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Proteins, particularly albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, bind drugs reversibly through mechanisms like hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. Only the unbound fraction of a drug is active, as protein-bound drug is inert and cannot cross membranes or exert effects. Several factors influence protein binding, including drug properties, protein concentrations, and disease states. The degree of protein binding impacts drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination.

Protein binding unit 4 bppk pe 520 (final) [autosaved] (1)PHARMA IQ EDUCATION
Protein binding plays an important role in drug distribution and activity in the body. Drugs can bind reversibly to plasma proteins like albumin and tissue proteins in the liver and kidneys. The extent of protein binding influences key pharmacokinetic parameters such as volume of distribution, drug clearance, and half-life, with higher protein binding resulting in a smaller volume of distribution, slower clearance, and longer half-life. Protein binding also impacts the amount of active, unbound drug available to produce pharmacological effects.
Protein binding describes the ability of drugs to form reversible or irreversible bonds with plasma and tissue proteins like albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. Only the unbound fraction of a drug interacts with receptors and is available to be metabolized or excreted, so protein binding significantly impacts a drug's effects, distribution, and clearance from the body. The degree of binding is determined by properties of both the drug and binding proteins, and can be altered through drug interactions that displace one drug from its binding sites.
This document discusses interactions between drugs and factors that can modify drug action. It covers several types of drug interactions including synergism, additive effects, and antagonism. Synergism occurs when two drugs have a combined effect greater than the sum of their individual effects. Additive effects are when the combined effect equals the sum. Antagonism is when two drugs oppose each other's actions. The document also discusses physiological factors like age, sex, pregnancy, and disease states that can impact drug responses. Genetic and environmental factors are also noted to influence individual drug metabolism and effects.
Protein binding of drugs can significantly impact a drug's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. There are two main classes of protein binding - binding to blood components like plasma proteins and blood cells, and binding to extravascular tissue proteins in organs like the liver, kidneys, lungs, and muscles. The extent of protein binding is influenced by factors related to the drug, such as its lipophilicity and concentration, factors related to the binding protein, such as its concentration and number of binding sites, and patient-related factors like age and disease state. Protein binding impacts a drug's absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and ability to reach its receptor site and produce an effect. It can inactivate drugs by sequestering
This document discusses drug interactions and factors that contribute to them. It covers how protein binding and tissue binding can impact a drug's pharmacokinetics. Protein binding affects a drug's apparent volume of distribution and elimination from the body. It can also impact drugs' effects in patients with liver or kidney disease due to impaired protein synthesis. Tissue binding localizes drugs to specific sites and competes with protein binding, influencing a drug's distribution in the body. Multiple drug therapies, diseases, and patient characteristics can all increase the risk of drug interactions.
This document discusses protein-protein interactions (PPIs). It begins by stating that PPIs are important for many biological processes and are the basis of protein folding, assembly, and interactions. It then discusses that PPIs can be classified based on their interaction surfaces (homo- or hetero-oligomeric), stability (obligate or non-obligate), and persistence (transient or permanent). Transient interactions form signaling pathways while permanent interactions form stable complexes. PPIs modify enzyme kinetics, allow for substrate channeling, and construct new functional properties. Detection methods for PPIs include yeast two-hybrid, co-immunoprecipitation, and protein interaction databases.
QMS SOP [QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE]Nabeela Moosakutty
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is a set of written
instructions that documents routine or repetitive activity followed by
an organization.
The development and use of SOPs are an integral part of a
successful quality system as it provides individuals with the information
to perform a job properly, and facilitates consistency in the quality and
integrity of a product or end-result. To ensure quality control, all
procedures are standardized, So SOPs are integral part of Quality
assurance process.
Purpose
SOPs detail the regularly recurring work processes that are to be
conducted or followed within an organization. They document the way
activities are to be performed to facilitate consistent conformance to
technical and quality system requirements and to support data quality.
They may describe, for example, fundamental programmatic actions and
technical actions such as analytical processes, and processes for
maintaining, calibrating, and using equipment. SOPs are intended to be
specific to the organization or facility whose activities are described and
assist that organization to maintain their quality control and quality
assurance processes and ensure compliance with governmental
regulations.
If not written correctly, SOPs are of limited value. In addition, the
best written SOPs will fail if they are not followed. Therefore, the use of
SOPs needs to be reviewed and re-enforced by management, preferably the
direct supervisor. Current copies of the SOPs also need to be readily
accessible for reference in the work areas of those individuals actually
performing the activity, either in hard copy or electronic format, otherwise
SOPs serve little purpose.
SOP-Benefits
a) The development and use of SOPs minimizes variation and promotes
quality.
b) SOPs can indicate compliance with organizational and governmental
requirements through detailed work instructions and can be used as
apart of a personnel training program.
c) It minimizes opportunities form is communication and can address
safety concerns. SOP-Writing Styles
SOPs should be written in a concise, step-by-step, easy-to-read format.
Information should not be overly complicated.
SOP Process
a) Preparation
The organization should have a procedure in place for
determining what procedures or processes need to be documented. Those
SOPs should then be written by individuals knowledgeable with the
activity and the organization's internal structure. These individuals
are essentially subject-matter experts who actually perform the work
or use the process.
SOPs should be written with sufficient detail so that someone with
limited experience with or knowledge of the procedure, but with a basic
understanding, can successfully reproduce the procedure when
unsupervised
b) Review and Approval
SOPs should be reviewed (that is, validated) by one or more
individuals with appropriate training and experience with the process.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Studies have shown that meditating for just 10-20 minutes per day can have significant positive impacts on both mental and physical health over time.
The heart has four chambers and is located in the chest cavity surrounded by a sac called the pericardium. It has three layers: an inner endocardium, a middle myocardium that is the heart muscle, and an outer epicardium. The heart pumps blood through two circuits, with the left side pumping oxygenated blood through the body and the right side pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
Biosensors integrate a biological recognition element with a physiochemical transducer to produce a measurable signal proportional to the analyte concentration. There are several key components of a biosensor including the bioreceptor, transducer, and detector. Common types of biosensors include optical, resonant, physical, ion-sensitive, and electrochemical biosensors. Biosensors offer advantages like specificity, rapid response, and continuous monitoring capability. They have wide applications in fields like medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food analysis, and industrial process control.
Emulsions
Definition
These are homogenous, transparent and thermodynamically stable dispersion of water and oil stabilized by surfactant and co-surfactants
Consists of globules less than 0.1 μm in diameter
Types
Oil dispersed in water (o/w) - oil fraction low
Water dispersed in oil (w/o) - water fraction low
Bicontinuous (amount of oil and water are same)
Advantages
Thermodynamically stable, long shelf life
Potential reservoir of lipophilic or hydrophilic drug
Enhance the absorption and permeation of drugs through biological membranes
Increased solubility and stability of drugs
Ease and economical scale-up
Greater effect at lower concentration
Enhances the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs
Theories of microemulsion
Interfacial or mixed film theory
Microemulsions are formed spontaneously due to formation of complex film at the interface by a mixture of surfactant and co-surfactant, As a result of which the interfacial tension reduces
Solubilization theory
Microemulsions are considered to be thermodynamically stable solutions of water swollen (w/o) or oil swollen (o/w) spherical micelles
Thermodynamic theory
The free energy of microemulsion formation is dependent on the role of surfactant in lowering the surface tension at the interface and increasing the entropy of the system
Multiple emulsions are complex polydispersed systems where both oil in water and water in oil emulsion exists simultaneously which are stabilized by lipophilic and hydrophilic surfactants respectively
The ratio of these surfactants is important in achieving stable multiple emulsions
They are also known as “Double emulsion” or “emulsion-within-emulsion”
Types
Oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O)
An o/w emulsion is dispersed in an oil continuous phase
Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W)
a w/o emulsion is dispersed in a water-continuous phase
MONOMOLECULAR ADSORPTION THEORY
MULTIMOLECULAR ADSORPTION THEORY
SOLID PARTICLE ADSORPTION THEORY
ELECTRICAL DOUBLE LAYER THEORY
ORIENTED WEDGE THEORY
Surfactants adsorb at the oil-water interface and form a monomolecular film
This film rapidly envelopes the droplets
They are very compact, elastic, flexible, strong and cannot be easily broken
For getting better stable emulsions combination of surfactants [surfactant blend] are used rather than a single one
The surfactant blend consists of both water soluble and oil soluble surfactants in order to approach the interface from aqueous and oil phase sides
At interface the surfactant blend interact to form a complex and condense a monomolecular film
Ex: A combination of Sodium cetyl sulfate (hydrophilic) and Cholesterol (lipophilic) forms a close packed complex film at the interface that produces an excellent emulsion

This document discusses import regulations for drugs and cosmetics under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act in India. It outlines classes of drugs and cosmetics that are prohibited from import, including expired, substandard, misbranded, or adulterated products. It also discusses requirements for importing drugs, including obtaining an import license or permit. Licenses are required for drugs listed in Schedules C, C1, and X, as well as for importing new drugs. Small quantities can be imported for examination or personal use with the proper documentation. The places drugs can be imported through and record-keeping requirements are also summarized.
The document discusses states of matter and changes between different states. It provides information on:
- The three main states of matter - solid, liquid, gas - and how a change of state involves a change in physical form but not chemical identity.
- Energy must be gained or lost for a substance to change states, altering temperature or motion of particles.
- Specific changes include melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), evaporation/boiling (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), and sublimation (solid to gas).
- Phase diagrams illustrate conditions where states coexist and phase boundaries. Eutectic mixtures have a lower melting point than their components.
Gluconeogenesis is the process by which glucose is synthesized from non-carbohydrate precursors in the liver and kidneys. The major precursors include lactate, pyruvate, and glucogenic amino acids. This process is important for maintaining blood glucose levels during periods of fasting when glycogen stores have been depleted. Gluconeogenesis closely resembles glycolysis but bypasses its three irreversible steps through alternate enzymes. These include pyruvate carboxylase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. Gluconeogenesis is an energetically costly process that requires 6 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP.
The document discusses the three states of matter - solids, liquids, and gases. It describes their characteristics at a microscopic level. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, with particles tightly packed in a repeating pattern that can only vibrate in place. Liquids have a fixed volume but changing shape as particles can move past each other while being attracted. Gases have volumes and shapes that change as particles are always pushing outward and spreading to fill their containers. The document also discusses intermolecular forces such as dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, induced dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding that influence the behavior of matter in different states.
Micromeritics is the study of the properties of small particles. It involves characterizing individual particles and particle size distributions in powders. Particle size is important for properties like dissolution, flowability, and stability. Smaller particle sizes increase surface area and dissolution rate. Different techniques measure different particle size parameters like length, surface area, or volume. Understanding the particle size distribution provides essential information about the range of particle sizes present in a sample.

1. PROTEIN BINDING
Factors affecting protein drug binding
Significance of protein drug binding
NABEELA MOOSAKUTTY
ASST. PROFESSOR
DEPT. OF PHARMACEUTICS
KTN COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
2. FACTORS AFFECTING PROTEIN-DRUG BINDING
1. Drug related factors
2. Protein / Tissue related factors
3. Drug Interactions
4. Patient related factors
3. 1. Drug related factors
a. Physicochemical characteristics of the drug
Protein binding is directly related to the lipophilicity of drug. An increase in
lipophilicity increases the extent of binding.
Ex: Cloxacillin(i.m)-Higher lipophilicity-95% bound to proteins
Ampicillin(i.m)-Less lipophilic-20% bound to proteins
Anionic/Acidic drugs: bind more to HSA Ex: Penicillins, Sulphonamides
Cationic/Basic drugs: bind more to AAG Ex: Imipramine
Neutral/Unionised drugs: bind more to lipoproteins
Stereo-selectivity in protein binding
Acidic drugs: Ibuprofen, Pentobarbital, Warfarin
Basic drugs: Chloroquine, Propranolol, Verapamil
4. b. Concentration of drug in the body
Alteration in the concentration of drug substances as well as the
molecules or surfaces subsequently brings alteration in the binding
process
c. Affinity of a drug for a particular component of the body
This factor entirely depends upon the degree of attraction or affinity of
the protein molecules or tissues towards drug moieties.
Ex: Digoxin has more affinity for cardiac muscles proteins as compared
to that of proteins of skeletal muscles or those in the plasma like HSA
Lidocaine has greater affinity for AAG than for HSA
5. 2. Protein / Tissue related factors
a. Physicochemical characteristics of the protein or binding agent
● Lipoproteins & adipose tissue tend to bind lipophilic drug by dissolving them in their lipid core.
● The physiological pH determines the presence of active anionic & cationic groups on the albumin to
bind a variety of drugs
a. Concentration of protein or binding component
● Among the plasma protein , binding predominantly occurs with albumin, as it is present in high
concentration in comparison to other plasma protein.
● The amount of several proteins and tissue components available for binding, changes during disease
state.
a. Number of binding sites on the binding agent
● Albumin has a large number of binding sites as compared to other proteins i.e, high capacity binding
component
● Ex: Ketoprofen and tamoxifen bind to both primary and secondary sites on albumin
Indomethacin binds to 3 sites
● AAG has limited binding capacity
● Ex: It has only one binding site for Lidocaine
6. 3. Drug Interactions
a. Competition between drugs for the binding site (Displacement Interactions)
D1 + P D2 + P
● Drug-Drug Interaction for the common binding site is called Displacement Interaction
● Ex: Phenylbutazone and Warfarin have same degree of affinity for HSA
● Administration of phenylbutazone to a patient on Warfarin therapy results in Adverse
Hemorrhagic reactions
● Displacement interaction results in unexpected rise in free concentration of the displaced drug
which may enhance clinical response or toxicity
D2
7. b. Competition between the drug and normal body constituents
● The free fatty acids are known to interact with a no. of drugs that binds primarily to HSA
● The free fatty acid level increases in physiological, pathological and pharmacologically
induced conditions
● These free fatty acids also bind to albumin and thereby influences the binding of
benzodiazepines propranolol and warfarin
● Bilirubin binding to HSA can be impaired by the drugs Sodium salicylate, Sodium benzoate
and sulphonamides, They displace bilirubin from albumin binding site results in Kernicterus
c. Allosteric changes in the protein molecule
● The process involves alteration of the protein structure by the drug or it’s metabolite thereby
modifying its binding capacity
● Ex: Aspirin acetylates the lysine fraction of albumin thereby modifying its capacity to bind
NSAIDs like phenylbutazone(increased affinity) and flufenamic acid(decreased affinity)
8. 4. Patient related factors
a. Age
1.Neonates: Low albumin content: More free drug. Ex: Phenytoin, Diazepam
2.Young infants: High dose of Digoxin due to large renal clearance
3.Elderly:Low albumin: So more free drug
a. Intersubject variations
Due to genetic & environmental factors
10. SIGNIFICANCE OF PROTEIN / TISSUE BINDING OF DRUGS
a. Absorption
when there is more protein binding then it disturbs the absorption equilibrium and act as the driving force for
further absorption
b. Distribution
It favours uniform distribution of drugs throughout the body
It prevents accumulation of large fraction of drug in tissues
A protein bound drug in particular does not cross the BBB, the placental barrier, the glomerulus.
c. Metabolism
Protein binding decreases the metabolism of drugs & enhances the biological half life
Only unbound fraction get metabolized. • e.g. Phenylbutazone & Sulfonamide
d. Elimination
Only the unbound drug is capable of being eliminated because of large molecular size of the complex
prevents it from getting filtered thereby drugs getting long elimination half-life
Ex: Tetracycline 65% bounded Elimination half-life 8.5 hrs
Doxycycline 93% bounded Elimination half-life 15.1 hrs
e. Systemic solubility of drugs
• Lipoprotein act as vehicle for hydrophobic drugs like steroids, heparin, oil soluble vitamins
11. f. Sustain release
The complex of drug protein in the blood act as a reservoir & continuously supply the free drug
e.g. Suramin sodium-protein binding for antitrypanosomal action.
g. Volume of distribution
A drug that is extensively bound to blood components remains confined to blood - small volume of
distribution
A drug shows extravascular tissue binding - large volume of distribution
The relationship between tissue-drug binding and apparent volume of distribution can be established
as
Vd = Amount of drug in the body / Plasma drug concentration
Vd = X/C ; X = Vd x C
h. Drug storage
A tissue has great affinity for a particular drug act as a depot or storage site for that drug
Ex: RBC is a storage site for the lipophilic compound tetrahydrocannabinol
i. Diagnosis
The chloroquine has a tendency to interact with the melanin of eyes
The chlorine atom of chloroquine replaced with radiolabeled I-131 can be used to visualize-
melanomas of eye & disorders of thyroid gland
