Equation
AUC =
F(dose)/Clt
Equation
Css =
AUC/tau
tau = dose interval
Equation
F relative =
fm =
(AUCgeneric)/(AUCstd) = Xugeneric/Xusdt
fm = 1 - fe
Equation
F =
(AUCoral)(DoseIV)/(AUCIV)(Doseoral)
=
(Xuoral)(DoseIV)/(XuIV)(Doseoral)
AUC is
the area under the curve
is useful to assess the total amount of unaltered drug that reaches the systemic circulation
AUC is directly proportional to F
AUC is proportional to Xu
AUC is unaffected by Ka which is rate of absorption
tp is
time of peak
it is a function of Ka and KE
Shows which is absorbed more quickly
F is
Extent of absorption
Extent to which the active drug reaches the general circulation
It affects Cmax
It affects AUC
Low F can be attributed to
degradation of drug in stomach acid, acid labile drug = ampicillin, penicillin G, erythromycin
significant first pass = propranolol
drug binds GI component = tetracycline
Low water solubility meaning poor dissolution = digoxin
complexation with Ca2+ and Mg2+ = tetracycline
Ka determines
the rate at which the active drug reaches the general circulation
it effects cmax and tp
F for IV drug =
1, because the drug is injected directly into the systemic circulation. Absorption is by passed.
AUC is determined by
equation
planimeter
cut and weigh
trapezoidal rule
F oral =
F absolute = F physiologic
AUCoral/AUCIV
F relative =
F generic/ F std
extent of absorption of a drug product compared to a recognized standard
Fe =
fraction excreted unchanged
Xu =
amount you collect in urine
Function of bioavailability testing
to determine which drugs possess bioavailability problems
to evaluate physiologic and formulation factors which may alter bioavailability
To establish interchangeability of multisource drugs
Pharmaceutical equivalents
rate and extent of absorption may not show a significant difference when administered at the same dose of the therapeutic moeity under similar conditions
Latin square
design for experiment
do not want same sequence in any group
experiment cancels the carry over phase, which is assured because there are 10 half lives between phases.
methods of evaluation of comparative bioavailability studies
From a single dose plasma data
superimposition - to compare bioavailability
Computer fitting - modeling - Ka, F relative, F/Vd
Bioequivalence = no difference at any concentration
= no significant difference in tmax, Cmax, and AUC
Cmax reflects
maximum (or peak) concentration that a drug achieves in tested area after the drug has been administrated and prior to the administration of a second dose
rate of absorption
Extent of absorption
(Cmax)(Clrenal) =
rate of drug excretion in the urine
(Clrenal)(AUC) =
cumulative amount of drug excreted in the urine
Therapeutic equivalence
same therapeutic effects and have equal potential for adverse effects under the conditions set forth on the labels of these drug products
Rule of thumb for therapeutic equivalence
significant difference in means of all measured parameters are less than plus or minus 20% of the standard’s mean, therapeutic equivalence is assumed.
AUCgeneric/AUCstd
should fall between 0.8-1.2 if ratio is calculated
