Pharmacokinetics = availability
- dosage and rate of administration - modes of transport across biologic membranes; bound to proteins from plasma and tissues - blood flow to the site of action - extent and speed of the metabolic process of the drug - rate of the removal of the drug (and its metabolic products)
Pharmacodynamics = pharmacologic effect (in relation with the plasma drug concentration)
- cellular mechanisms of drug action - clinical evaluation of drug effects - biologic variability
2
Definition: quantitative study of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of chemicals in the body, as well as the time course of these effects. Summary: - absorption - distribution - metabolism - elimination
3
Concentration of a drug at its site of action is a fundamental determinant of its pharmacologic effects. Drugs are transported to and from their sites of action in the blood because of that: the concentration at the active site is a function of the concentration in the blood. The change in drug concentration over time in the blood, at the site of action, and in other tissues is a result of complex interactions of multiple biologic factors with the physicochemical characteristics of the drug.

Half-Lives
The rapidity of pharmacokinetic processes is often described with half-lives Half-Life = the time required for the concentration to change by a factor of 2. Half-Life = the period of time required for the concentration or amount of drug in the body to be reduced to exactly one-half of a given concentration or amount. Half-Life = the time required for half the quantity of a drug or other substance deposited in a living organism to be metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Also called biological half-life.

Zero-Order Elimination
First-Order Elimination
Ct is concentration after time t C0 is the initial concentration (t=0) k is the elimination rate constant - first-order logarithmic process - that is, a constant proportion of the agent is eliminated per unit time (Birkett, 2002)

Drug Elimination
Elimination = all the various processes that terminate the presence of a drug in the body. Processes: - metabolism - renal excretion - hepato-biliary excretion - pulmonary excretion (inhaled anesthetics mainly) - other: saliva, sweat, breast milk, tears.
27
Renal Excretion
Both metabolically changed and unchanged drugs LMW substances: filtered from blood through the Bowman membrane of the capsule Some: actively secreted Reabsorption in the tubule: depending on the lipid solubility, degree of ionization, molecular shape, carrier mechanism (for some). Weak acid: best reabsorbed from an acidic urine. Important to know if the drug is dependent on renal function or excretion.
28
Hepatobiliary Excretion
Drugs metabolites excreted in the intestinal tract with the bile. Majority: reabsorbed into the blood and excreted through urine. (enterohepatic cycle). Poorly lipid-soluble organic compounds at least three active transport mechanisms
29
Pulmonary Excretion
Volatile anesthetics and anesthetic gases: in large part eliminated unchanged through the lung The factors that determine uptake operate in reverse manner

Multicompartment Pharmacokinetics
Instead of a single exponential process with one half-time, the pharmacokinetics are described by 2 or more exponential processes can calculate a half-time for each process: l1, l2, l3, etc. (referred to as: a, b, g). The time for the concentration to decrease by 50% is dependent on the preceding dosing history and can vary with the duration of drug administration. The time to decrease plasma concentration by half is not equal with the time to remove half of the drug from the body - terminal half-life.
31
Multicompartment Models
3 compartments:
Central = vascular bed 2nd = rapidly equilibrating, high perfusion (muscle) 3rd = large compartment slow equilibrating, low perfusion (fat).
Context-Sensitive Half-Time
Improved our understanding of anesthetic drug disposition; is clinically applicable. Effect of distribution on plasma drug conc. varies in magnitude and direction over time depends on the drug concentration gradients between various compartments. - ex.: early part of the infusion of a lipophilic drug, the distributive factor decrease its plasma conc. as the drug is transported to the unsaturated peripheral tissues later, after the infusion is discontinued: drug will re-enter in the central circulation

1). Zero order pharmacokinetics If there is one thing that separates pharmacology from other medical subjects, it is zero order pharmacokinetics! Salicylic acid is an example of a drug that behaves this way. What is drug elimination according to zero order kinetics?
A constant amount of drug is removed per unit of time. This makes the rate of metabolism saturable, so that small changes in dose, can give dramatic changes in plasma concentration
41
2). A drug was given intravenously at a dose of 200mg. The initial concencentration in plasma (Co) was 10 g/ml, and the Kel (elimination constant) was 0.02/h. Determine the plasma clearance (Clpl) and t1/2 for this drug.
Distribution volume: Vd = dose/ Co = 200 mg / 10 mg/L = 20 L Cl pl = Vd x Kel = 20 L x 0.02/h = 0.4 L/h T1/2 = ln 2 / kel = 0.693 x 0.02 = 35 hours

The kinetic order of a reaction is determined by the exponent of the rate equation, n, in dc/dt = K Cn:
Kinetic order 2 1
Equation dc/dt = K C2
Dependency on C Exponential
43
Saturable kinetics usually follow Michaelis-Menten equation: dC/dt = [(dC/dt)m.C] / (Km + C) where (dc/dt)m is the maximum rate that a reaction can reach and Km is the Michaelis-Menton constant that corresponds to a concentartion at which the rate is 1/2 of the maximum. When C is very small it can be ignored from denominator and reduces the above equation to: dC/dt = [(dC/dt)m.C] / Km or dC/dt = (dC/dt)m/Km.C. Hence the rate becomes dependent upon a constant, [(dC/dt)m / Km], and C, and the kinetics change to a first order. On the other hand during the time when C is very high, Km becomes negligible and the equation reduces to: dC/dt = (dC/dt)m.C / C Now C can be cancelled from both nominator and denominator to give: dC/dt = (dC/dt)m i.e., the rate depends only upon a constant but not upon concentration. From then on the reaction proceeds according to zero order kinetics. Between these two extremes the order of the reaction is a mixture of first and zero kinetics.

The Michaelis Menten process is somewhat more complicated with a maximum rate (velocity, Vm) and a Michaelis constant (Km) and the amount or concentration remaining.

Many equianalgesic tables underestimate methadone potency - more studies are needed. Parenteral: Program utilizes 10mg for short-term dosing and 2 mg for chronic dosing. Oral: Program utilizes 20mg for short-term dosing and 3 mg for chronic dosing. Meperidine should be used for acute dosing only and not used for chronic pain management (meperidine has a short half-life and a toxic metabolite: normeperidine). Its use should also be avoided in patients with renal insufficiency, CHF, hepatic insufficiency, and the elderly because of the potential for toxicity due to accumulation of the metabolite normeperidine. Seizures, confusion, tremors, or mood alterations may be seen.
