41
Q

Why when fu increases, Cu remains constant but total conc C decreases?

Which kind of drug shows such properties?

A

Cu remains constant as it is insensitive to change in plasma protein binding

drugs with high V and low E

V of higher V drug is more sensitive to changes in fu

Cl of low E is more sensitive to the change in fu

When there is an inc in fu, both V and CL increases. Both these increases normalise the Cu of the drug over time. Hence, Cu is unchanged while C decreases

fu = Cu/C

  • metabolised by hepatic enzymes and
  • biliary excretion into bile
59
Q

High EH, what does it mean for CL? CL is sensitive to?

A

QH but relatively insensitive to changes in plasma protein binding or hepatocelluar eliminating activity (NOT sensitive to CLint)

CLb and EH are minimally affected by fu changes

60
Q

A

<0.3

62
Q

When a drug has lower EH, what is the drug efficiency?

A

Poor efficiency; drug is a poor substrate for elimination process;
drug is polar and insufficient lipophilicity to permeate readily into hepatocytes
drug is substrate of efflux transporter along sinusoidal (basolateral) memb

63
Q

Low EH, what does it mean for CL? CL is sensitive to?

A

Changes in plasma protein binding or heptatocellular eliminating activity, (CLint may not have much change , not as sensitive as plasma protein binding)
Insensitive to QH

CLH depends on fu as only unbound drug permeates the hepatocytes for elimination

64
Q

Moderate EH, what does it mean for CL? CL is sensitive to?

A

CL affected by both QH and plasma protein binding and CLint

65
Q

Properties of biliary excretion through active transport:

A

  • hepatic disease (decrease biliary excretion)
66
Q

What is the bile flow?

A

Apical: efflux

75
Q

When drugs with high ER, what happens to protein binding?

A

CLs is less dependent on fu and relatively dependent on perfusion

CLb,R ~ close to QR

Drugs are rarely extracted by kidneys as most drugs are lipophilic (they are highly reabs); thus more drugs eliminated in liver than kidney

76
Q

When drugs with low ER, what happens to protein binding?

Depend on efficiency of transporter-mediated process (intrinsic CL) and contact time at secretory sites along proximal tubule
CLs dependent on fu; relatively independent on perfusion
