15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 2
Introduction
Greek pharmakon "drug" and kinetikos to do with motion" It deals with the rates of movement of drug and its metabolite in the body and forces acting on the process. Rates of movement of drugs will explain with the help of suitable Mathematical Model.

Contd
Concentration of a drug in plasma or any physiological fluid such as urine, saliva, milk, etc., is determined with respect to time following its administration. Based on the hypothesis that the action of a drug requires presence of a certain concentration in the target tissue.

Pharmacokinetic Action
Definition
Pharmacokinetics is the study of what the body does to a drug. The quantitative study of the Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion of drugs and their metabolites.
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 6
Absorption
It is an amount of drug that enters in blood after it s administration in body. Factor affecting absorption: 1) Nature of Drug Fat-Soluble drugs are maximally absorbed Water-Soluble drugs are less absorbed

2) Route Parenterally: Oral Intravenous: Sublingual Intramuscular: Rectal Subcutaneous: Transcutaneous Inhalation: Absorption through mucous membranes Topical

Distribution
An amount of drug that reaches to cell, after absorption. After absorption into the systemic circulation, drugs are distributed throughout the body. Highly perfused organs such as brain, hearts, lungs, liver and kidneys receive most of the drug soon after injection.
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 11
Processes of Distribution
It involves two steps: 1. Permeation of free or unbounded drug present in blood through the capillary wall and entry into ECF. 2. Permeation of drug present in ECF through membrane of tissue cells and into the ICF.
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 12
Metabolism
The irreversible transformation of parent compounds into daughter metabolites. A mechanism by which, mostly liver alter chemical structure of drug. It become non-toxic, water soluble and easily excrete outside body through urine or faeces
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 14
Contd
By this, mostly fat-soluble drug are convert into water-soluble while water-soluble mostly remain unchanged.
Excretion
The elimination of the substances from the body. In rare cases, some drugs irreversibly accumulate in body tissue.
Contd
Excreted drug may changes color and nature of urine or faeces.

1. Clinical Pharmacokinetics 2. Population Pharmacokinetics 3. Toxicokinetics 4. Clinical Toxicology
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 18
Clinical Pharmacokinetics
Is the application of pharmacokinetic
methods to drug therapy. It involves a multidisciplinary approach to individually optimized dosing strategies based on the patient's disease state and patientspecific considerations.
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 19
Population Pharmacokinetics
Use in the drug development process to help identify differences in drug safety and efficacy among population subgroups.
The study of pharmacokinetic differences of drugs in various population groups is termed as population pharmacokinetics.
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 20
Contd
Age, gender, genetic, and ethnic differences can also result in pharmacokinetic differences that may affect the outcome of drug therapy.

Toxicokinetics
Is the application of pharmacokinetic principles to the design, conduct, and interpretation of drug safety evaluation studies.
Toxicokinetics data aids in the interpretation of toxicologic findings in animals and extrapolation of the resulting data to humans.
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 22
Clinical Toxicology
Is the study of adverse effects of drugs and toxic substances (poisons) in the body

Pharmacokinetic Models
Various mathematical models are useful in the development of equations to describe drug concentrations in the body. Drug concentrations are dependent on time, the two variables drug concentration and time are called dependent and independent variables respectively
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 24
Contd
Useful in : Characterize the behavior of drug in patient. Predicting conc. of drug in various body fluids with dosage regimen. Calculating optimum dosage regimen for individual patient. Evaluating bioequivalence between different formulation. Explaining drug interaction.

Contd
Pharmacokinetic models are divided into 1. Compartment models 2. Physiological pharmacokinetic model (flow model) 3. Non Compartmental Pharmacokinetics model 4. Non linear Pharmacokinetics model
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 26
Compartmental Model
Models are based on the concept that the body may be viewed as a series of compartments in which the drug is distributed. It divided into 1. One Compartment Models 2. Two Compartment Models
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 27
Contd
One Compartment Models: Entire body is considered as one unit Drug is administered into the compartment and distributed throughout the compartment (the body) instantaneously

Contd
Two Compartment Models: In this model, drug is administered into the central compartment and then there is a time lag due to slower distribution into other tissues and organs. These other organs are represented by the peripheral compartment
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 30
Physiological Models
An alternate method of building a pharmacokinetic profile of a drug in the body is to utilize anatomic and physiological information. It decide whether drug distribution into a particular tissue is by perfusion rate or membrane transport. The other parameters like venous concentration and the partition coefficient

Noncompartmental
It is highly dependent on estimation of total drug exposure.
Total drug exposure is most often estimated by area under the curve (AUC) methods.

Nonlinear Model
Concept of linear Pharmacokinetics is the concentrations achieved are proportional to the dose given.

concentration.
Contd
For some drugs an increase in dose may produce a concentration much greater than expected. For example, increases in dosage of the antiepileptic agent Phenytoin above approximately 300 mg daily usually produce a greater than expected increase in blood concentrations.
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 34
Theoretical depiction of plasma concentrations following either an intravenous bolus dose immediately followed by initiation of a continuous intravenous infusion or initiation of a continuous intravenous infusion only.
Applications
To understand process of ADME after administration of drug, which affects onset and intensity of biological response. In design and utilization of in-vitro model system that can evaluate dissolution characteristics of new compound formulated as new drug formulations and establish meaningful in-vivo invitro correlationship.
15/2/2012 Pharmacokinetic Action 36

To carry out bioavailability and bioequivalence studies. In design and development of new drug and their appropriate dosage regimen. Pharmacokinetic principles can used in the development micro spheres and Nanoparticles.
