11. Environmental pH and Ionization If we put an acidic drug in an environment with a lot of H + (low pH) what will this equilibrium do? H A H A Non-ionized form predominates! H A H + + A - System at Equilibrium H + from acid environment
12. A real live, actual clinical question... Aspirin is an acidic drug. In the stomach will it exist mostly in ionized or non-ionized form? NON-IONIZED Why?
13. How will this affect aspirin absorption? Lipid Bilayer Ionized form (charged) A - Ionized form (uncharged) H A H A

17. Plasma Protein Binding warfarin (Coumadin) is highly protein bound (99%). Aspirin binds to the same site on serum proteins as does Coumadin. If a patient on Coumadin also takes aspirin, what will happen? The available Coumadin will increase. 1) Why? 2) Why do we care?
18. Blood-Brain Barrier The blood brain barrier consists of cell tightly packed around the capillaries of the CNS. What characteristics must a drug possess to easily cross this barrier? Non-protein bound, non-ionized, and highly lipid soluble

22. Active Tubular Transport Probenecid is moved into the urine by the same transport pump that moves many antibiotics. Why is probenecid sometimes given as an adjunct to antibiotic therapy? It competes with the antibiotic at the pump and slows its excretion.
23. Urine pH and Elimination A patient has overdosed on phenobartital. Phenobarbital is an acid. If we ‘alkalinalize’ the urine by giving bicarbonate what will happen to the phenobarbital molecules as they are filtered through the renal tubules? They will ionize...
24. How will this affect phenobarbital reabsorption by the kidney? Non-ionized H A H + + A - Decreased reabsorption Increased elimination Ionized

66. PRINCIPLE For drugs taken by routes other than the i.v. route, the extent of absorption and the bioavailability must be understood in order to determine what dose will induce the desired therapeutic effect. It will also explain why the same dose may cause a therapeutic effect by one route but a toxic or no effect by another . www.freelivedoctor.com
67. Drugs appear to distribute in the body as if it were a single compartment. The magnitude of the drug’s distribution is given by the apparent volume of distribution (V d ). Vd = Amount of drug in body ÷ Concentration in Plasma PRINCIPLE (Apparent) Volume of Distribution: Volume into which a drug appears to distribute with a concentration equal to its plasma concentration www.freelivedoctor.com

82. lnC t = lnC 0 – K el .t When C t = ½ C 0 , then K el .t = 0.693. This is the time for the plasma concentration to reach half the original, i.e., the half-life of elimination. t1/2 = 0.693/K el www.freelivedoctor.com

107. Footnote: Most antagonists attach to binding site on receptor for endogenous agonist and sterically prevent endogenous agonist from binding. If binding is reversible - Competitive antagonists If binding is irreversible - Noncompetitive antagonists However, antagonists may bind to remote site on receptor and cause allosteric effects that displace endogenous agonist or prevent endogenous agonist from activating receptor.
