Q

Process of Oral Absorption

A
  1. Drug molecule at surface dissolves to form saturated solution
  2. Dissolve drug pass throughout the dissolve fluid and diffuse from high to low concentration
  3. Drug molecules diffuse through bulk solution to mucosa
  4. Absorbed

Q

Noyes Whitney Equation

A

dM/dt = DS/h (Cd-Ca)

  • dissolution rate is proportional to D
  • increase rate of diffusion –> increase dissolution
  • dissolution rate is proportional to particle surface area
  • dissolution rate is proportional to difference in concentration gradient
  • high to low
  • dissolution rate is inverse proportional to h
  • increased h = less steep concentration gradient
  • decrease h by increasing stirring rate

Q

Rate Limiting Factors of Dissolution

Study These Flashcards
A

Physiochemical properties of drug

Physiochemical properties of formulation

19
Q

Definition of Generic Drug

Study These Flashcards
A

drug product that is comparable to brand in dosage form, strength, route of administration, quality and performance, and intended use

20
Q

Therapeutic Equivalence

Study These Flashcards
A

Pharmaceutical Equivalence
Bioequivalence

21
Q

Pharmaceutical Equvalence

Study These Flashcards
A

The same:
- API
- dosage form
- route of administration
- identical strength/concentration

Differ:
- shape, excipients, color

22
Q

Bioequivalence

Study These Flashcards
A

pharmaceutical equivalents whose rate and extent of absorption are not statistically different when administered to humans at same dose

a drug product is considered bioequivalent if 90% confidence interval of ratios of the test mean values for AUC and Cmax are within 80%-125%

23
Q

Generic vs Brand Therapeutic Equivalence

Study These Flashcards
A
  • can contain the same AUC but not the same therapeutic effect
24
Q

Study on Switch to Generic

Study These Flashcards
A

2885 patients examined

  • 70.5% no problems
  • 10.8% including reappearance of problem
  • 9.8% unspecified issue
  • 8.8% other issues

30% of respondents reported an issue

25
IVIVC
- no correlation between bioavailability of generic vs brand - no correlation between dissolution rate and AUC ISSUE IN INTERCHANGEABILITY OF PRODUCTS
26
Mimicking Clinical Conditions
Dosage form design requires consideration of patient related variables Patient related variables are not accurately assessed during development Absorption windows are defined more based on physical-chemical properties and not physiology Better in vitro and in vivo testing models are required for optimizing dosage form design
27
Control of Drug Performance
Interplay of excipients (formulation) Physiochemical properties of drug Physiological barriers between GI tract and site of action
28
Oral Delivery Summary
Oral formulations can control absorption rate to yield a safe and efficacious response Dosage form design is dynamic and unpredictable so patient habits have to be considered Patients vary in response Generic formulations are not the innovator
29
Pharmacotherapy and Pregnancy
- 60 million women at reproductive age - 10% are pregnant annually - many are on meds for pre-existing conditions - physiological changes alter ADME - toxicity is concern
30
Fetal Imprinting
- genetics, diet, and environment can impact fetus Linked to: - cardivascular disease - neurological disorder - obesity and diaabetes
31
Pediatric Drug Development
- encourage pediatric drug development in order to create a situation where substantially more children have access to safe and effective medication
32
Challenges for Pediatric Testing
- lack of incentives for companies to study drugs on neonates, infant, children - lack of technology to monitor patients and assay - lack of suitable pediatric clinical infrastructure
33
Pediatric Pharmacology
- children are therapeutic orphans - 20-30% of approved drugs have pediatric labeling
34
Why is it hard for pediatrics?
- children are not miniature adults - dose on weight is not predictable - animal studies are not predictive - clinical studies fraught with ethical and financial hurdles - administration of drug is hard
35
Pediatric Biopharmaceutics Classification System
- expedite generic and drug repurposing formulations
36
3 Factors the Influence Bioavailability
Solubility Permeation Dissolution
37
OATP1B1 SNP and Methotrexate Case Results
Low clearance rates are associated with higher toxicity dose lowering and higher hydration must be required
38
Difference in Animals and Children
Length of gestation and timing of events relative organ function maturity at birth
39
Overall Challenges in Pediatrics
Biological: - ontogenic changes - compositional changes Clinical: - clinical trials - caregiver requirements Formulation: - dosage form selection - flexibility in dosing - excipient selection - taste masking
40
Paradigm Shift
Going to protecting children from clinical research to protecting children through clinical research
41
Safety and Toxicology of Excipients for Pediatrics
- collaboration of EMA and NICHD - draws attention to use of traditional excipients - encourages greater use of solid dosage forms
42
Minitablet Formulation
Incorporation of BSC Class 1 and III - less effect of formulation Easy Translation to Market - pediatric compliance - flexible dosing Minimal Excipients - single filler, disintegrant, lubricant Same Manufacturing Conditons - size is constant
43
Film Advantage vs Disadvantage
Advantage: - acceptable for patients with dysphagia - easy and accurate - increased stability - faster onset of action Disadvantage: - difficult to manufacture - moisture sensitivity - limited dosing capacity - increased packaging cost
44
What challenges Remain?
- age based dosage form - children are not miniature adults - animal models need to be refined - better means of drug administration
