Models

Created to predict from limitedinformation what will happen in the realworld

Dependant of data Complexity can be at the cost of 

accuracy

Often aims to predict in individualcircumstances from data obtained froma population

Why bother?

To adjust the dose of drug so that theresponse of the body is as much andfor as long as required

But...Problems measuring drug at biophaseDrug concentration may not correlate with

response

May not be possible to measure responseaccurately

Distribution: summary 

Depends on: Molecular size

Ionisation Protein binding Tissue perfusion

eg Relaxants Low Protein binding

(<60%) so perfusion

affects distribution alot.

Highly ionised so tendto stay in ECF

BUT dTc undergoestissue binding, soVd is unexpectedlyhigher than ECF

“Diffusible Fraction”

Consists of: Drug unbound to plasma protein

which is also

Unionised 

The more protein bound and ionised adrug is, the more it tends to stay in the

 plasma.

Logarithms

 Any positive number can be expressed( )as a number usually 10 raised to

 a power Eg

 100 is 102

 64 is 10 .1806

 2 is 10 .0301

 So how do you calculate 2 x 64 using

logarithms?

y = 10t

Simplify y = 10t

Use a logarithmic transform log y = t

Strictly speaking log10y = t

y = et

Simplify using logs to base e instead of base 10, ie loge instead of log10

y = et becomes loge(y) = t

Also written as ln instead of loge ie ln(y)=t

y = ek.t

Logarithmic transform: y = ek.t becomes Ln(y) = k.t

Logarithmic transform:

Ct = C0.e-k.t becomes Ln(Ct) = (Ln C0) - k.t

Ct = C0.e-k.t

Rt α Ct

Or 

Rt α Ct1

That is, elimination is proportional toconcentration raised to the first

power, hence ‘first order kinetics’

So…

But if….

Rt α Ct0 and  Rt = k.Ct

0

Anything raised to the power of zero is 1

So Ct0

=1, therefore Rt α 1 Rt = k.1

So, Rt = k

In other words elimination is constant. Hence ‘zero order kinetics’.

Vd and Cl

Rate of drug elimination is constantlychanging

But…

Percentage (or fraction) eliminated in unittime is constant (k)actually it’s

the natural log (ln) of the fraction ln{ C 0  / C t  }

where t=1 Units are min-1

Page 68: PK all 2011

8/6/2019 PK all 2011

k = Cl / Vd

Another way of looking at k The fraction of Vd cleared of drug in unit

time

i.e. Cl / Vd

k = Clearance expressed as a fraction of Volume of Distribution

k is the Rate Elimination Constant

k, T1/2 and With k, the denominator is unit time

(minute, second, hour, whatever), thevariable is the fraction

With T1/2 , the denominator is a fraction(which in this case is 1/2), the variableis time

But T1/2 is not 1/k (or not exactly)

k, T1/2 and

Ct/C0 =e-k.t

When Ct/C0 =0.5(C has dropped to half original conc)

e-k.t =0.5

Ln{e-k.t } = Ln{0.5} = -k.t

Ln{0.5 } = -0.693 k.t = 0.693, k=0.693 / t Since t=T1/2 , k = 0.693 / T1/2

k, T1/2 and

τ is the time constant

It is the time taken for to reach zero if rate of fall were constant or the time taken for Ct to fall to 1/e

(instead to 1/2)

k, T1/2 and

Ct/C0 =e-k.t  

When t=τ , Ct/C0 =1/e e-k.t

 =1/e

Ln{e-k.t } = -k.t

Ln{1/e } = -1 k.t = 1 or k=1 / t

Since t=τ , k = 1/τ

k, T1/2 and

Since k = 1/τ And since k = 0.693 / T1/2  

0.693 / T1/2 = 1/τ

T1/2 = τ x  0.693

= τ x ln(2)

Infusion KineticsHow to calculate rate of infusion to achieve a given blood 

concentration 

Assume that at steady statein = outi.e. rate of infusion = rate of elimination

Rate of elimination = Clearance x Concentration Concentration you know Clearance you either look up or calculate from

Cl = Vd.k For an infusion you will require Vdss (not ordinary Vd from a

bolus) Calculate this by doing an actual study, infusing at a constant

rate to steady state and measuring blood levels (see nextslide)
