A power point presentation on general aspects of Pharmacokinetics suitable for undergraduate medical students beginning to study Pharmacology. Also suitable for Post Graduate students of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
3. Relationship – Dynamics and Kinetics Dosage Regimen Concentration in Plasma Concentration at the site of action Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion Pharmacokinetics Pharmacodynamics Effect
32. Biovailability - AUC Plasma concentration (mcg/ml) Time (h) 0 5 10 15 AUC p.o. F = ------------ x 100% AUC i.v. AUC – area under the curve F – bioavailability
41. Blood brain barrier (BBB) : includes the capillary endothelial cells (which have tight junctions and lack large intracellular pores) and an investment of glial tissue, over the capillaries. A similar barrier is loctated in the choroid plexus Brain and CSF Penetration
The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, pH 4 is ten times more acidic than pH 5 and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than pH 6. The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH

Faeces: Liver actively transport drugs and its metabolites into bile (Glucoronides). OATP – orgnic acids and OCT – organic bases. Other lipophillic drugs – by P-gp. Most lucoronides are deconjugated by bacteria and reabsorbed in intestine – enterohepatic circulation. Drugs – erythromycin, rifmpicin and tetracycline etc. Ultimate excretion occurs in urine Milk – not importnt for mother but for fetus. Basic drugs can pass to milk as it has slightly lower pH Drugs – Saliva – Lithium, KI, heavy metals and rifampicin
Although Cpss cn be calculated, its real value actually varies with individuls – deviation from averge ptients
