Pharmacokinetics is _________________
the study of the kinetics of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of the drugs and their corresponding pharmacologic, therapeutic or toxic
response in animals and man.”
Absorption: is ____________________
Distribution: the __________________
The distribution of the drug between tissues is dependent on ____________________
the movement of the drug into the blood stream.
reversible transfer of a drug from one location to another within the body.
vascular permeability, regional blood flow, cardiac output and perfusion rate of the tissue and the ability of the drug to
bind tissue and plasma proteins and its lipid solubility.
pH partition plays a major role as well.
The drug is easily distributed in ________________
It is distributed in small quantities through_______________
Metabolism: is the metabolic _________________________
highly perfused organs such as the liver, heart and kidney.
less perfused tissues like muscle, fat and peripheral organs.
breakdown of drugs by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems.
pH partition plays a major role as well.
The rate of metabolism determines ________________
Excretion/ elimination: of a drug is one of ___________
The kidney is the main ________________. These organs or structures use specific routes to expel a drug from the body, these are termed elimination pathways.
the duration and intensity of a drug’s pharmacologic action.
a number of processes by which a drug is eliminated from an organism either in an unaltered form (unbound molecules) or modified as a metabolite.
excretory organ although others exist such as the liver, the skin, the lungs or glandular structures, such as
the salivary glands and the lacrimal glands.
the higher the surface area the higher the _____________
dissolution rate

what is biopharmaceutics
It is the study of physiochemical properties of the drugs, their proper dosage form in which administered and the route of administration as related to the onset, duration and intensity of drug action.
Biopharmaceutics embraces the knowledge of factors that influence: list 4
- Protection of the pharmacological activity of the drug in the drug product
- The release of the drug from drug product
- The rate of dissolution of drug at the site of administration
- The system absorption of the drug (rate and extent).
Clinical pharmacokinetics
“Study of time course of _____________________”
This science may be applied to a wide range of clinical situations (renal, cardiac, hepatic, diabetes mellitus etc)
More correctly clinical pharmacokinetics is the ______________________________
absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs and their corresponding pharmacological response.
application of pharmacokinetic principles in appropriate and rational drug therapy patient’s status (host factors)and disease state influence the PK of the drug.
which study deals with the Pk differences of drugs in various population groups.
Population pharmacokinetics
Toxicokinetic evaluation is both a ____and ________requirement in the drug development process.
regulatory
scientific
Toxicokinetic
It includes the generation of data to asses the systemic exposure. These data (ADME)help to understand _______ to and also play a role in clinical setting, assisting in the setting of plasma limits for ____________
observed toxicity
administered dose
early human exposure and in calculation of safety margins.
Drug substance is
It is the active pharmaceutical ingredient or component in the drug product that produces the pharmacodynamic activity
Drug product is
A drug product is the finished dosage form (tablets, syrups or injections) that contains the active ingredient
Bioequivalence requirement is?
The requirement imposed by FDA for in vitro and in vivo testing of particular drug products which must be satisfied as a condition of marketing.
Bioequivalent drug products
For systemically absorbed drugs the test drug (generic/non patent)and reference drug (branded)shall be considered bioequivalent
- If the rate and extent of absorption of test drug don’t differ significantly from the ~_____________when given administered at the same molar dose of therapeutic ingredient under ________________
rate and extent of absorption of reference drug
similar experimental conditions in either a single dose or multiple doses.
Bioequivalence
The extent of absorption of test drug does not show significant difference from _____________when at the same molar dose of therapeutic ingredient under ______________. As well, this difference in rate of absorption does not influence therapeutic objectives when test drug used chronically.
the extent of absorption of reference drug
similar experimental conditions in either a single dose or multiple doses and the difference from the reference drug in rate of absorption of test is intentional and mentioned on its proposed labelling
Drug concentration
Drug concentration is __________________
Drug levels are measured in ________________
an important element in determining individual or population pharmacokinetics
biological samples like plasma, saliva, milk and urine. Sometimes hair and nails are also sites where drugs can accumulate.
Two methods are used for sampling
- Non- invasive method:
Include sampling of urine, saliva, milk, faeces, expired air or any other biological material that can be obtained without parenteral or surgical intervention.
Invasive method
Non- invasive method
Invasive method includes?
Include sampling of blood, spinal fluid, synovial fluid, tissue biopsy or any biological material that requires parenteral or surgical intervention in the patient.
Non- invasive method includes
Include sampling of urine, saliva, milk, faeces, expired air or any other biological material that can be obtained without parenteral or surgical intervention.
