2 PHARMACOLOGY Searches for new drugs Investigates effects of known drugs WHAT IS PHARMACOLOGY ? pharmacologists are drug hunters mechanism of action, evidence of effect, adverse reactions,, fate in the body (absorption, distribution, elimination), dosage, course of effect …

3 Pharmacy deals with the preparation (compounding, manufacture), distribution and supply of medicines PHARMACOLOGY x PHARMACY Pharmacology is the study of effects of drugs (chemicals) on the functioning of the body

4 THE AIM OF TEACHING PHARMACOLOGY 1/ To UNDERSTAND how drugs act (mechanism of action) and general pharmacological principles 2/ To know how to prescribe a drug

16 Principles of pharmacokinetics Prof. Kršiak Department of Pharmacology, Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague Cycle II, Subject: General pharmacology Charles University in Prague, Third Faculty of Medicine 1st Teaching Unit ID9234

17 1. Fate of drugs in the body 1.1 absorption 1.2 distribution - volume of distribution 1.3 elimination - clearance 2. The half-life and its uses 3. The uses of the half-life 4. Plasma concentration-effect relationship M. Kršiak Department of Pharmacology, Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague, 2008

18 ABSORPTION DISTRIBUTION ELIMINATION FATE OF DRUGS IN THE BODY ADMINISTERED ABSORBED „HIDDEN“ ELIMINATED ACTING WHAT HAPPENS TO DRUGS INSIDE THE BODY

19 1.1 ABSORPTION Depends on: lipid solubility ionization (depends on pH) non-ionized (non-polar), local changes in the pH routes of administration - per os - presystemic elimination FIRST-PASS EFFECT - pharmaceutical technology BIOAVAILABILITY, bioequivalence - parenteral

20 FIRST-PASS EFFECT: loss of a drug by a metabolism mostly in the liver that occurs en route from the gut lumen to the systemic circulation e.g. in nitroglycerin, morphine

21 Clinical consequence of the first-pass effect: limited effect after oral administration great interindividual differences in dosage

22 BIOAVAILABILITY: the proportion of drug that reaches the systemic circulation It is usually calculated from the AUC (Area Under the Curve)

23 ABSORPTION DISTRIBUTION ELIMINATION FATE OF DRUGS IN THE BODY ADMINISTERED ABSORBED „HIDDEN“ ELIMINATED ACTING WHAT HAPPENS TO DRUGS INSIDE THE BODY

24 - membrane penetration - protein binding -plasma proteins -tissue proteins ONLY A FREE DRUG ACTS! The bound drug is inactive. Free and bound drug are in equilibrium. Displacement: drug-drug interactions 1.2 DISTRIBUTION Depends on:

25 ABSORPTION DISTRIBUTION ELIMINATION FATE OF DRUGS IN THE BODY ADMINISTERED ABSORBED „HIDDEN“ ELIMINATED ACTING WHAT HAPPENS TO DRUGS INSIDE THE BODY

26 1.3 ELIMINATION: METABOLIC (biotransformation) mostly in the liver ENZYME INDUCTION/ INHIBITION oxidase enzymes - cytochrom P450 (CYP2D6 etc) GENETIC POLYMORPHISM EXCRETION kidneys metabolites or unchanged (almost completely unchanged e.g. digoxin, gentamycin) GIT... enterohepatic circulation e.g. tetracyclines

27 ABSORPTION depends on - membrane penetration which depends on -lipid solubility - ionization (depends on pH) - routes of administration DISTRIBUTION depends on: ELIMINATION ONLY A FREE DRUG ACTS! FIRST-PASS EFFECT BIOAVAILABILITY - membrane penetration - protein binding - metabolic - excretion FATE OF DRUGS IN THE BODY ADMINISTERED ABSORBED „HIDDEN“ ELIMINATED ACTING WHAT HAPPENS TO DRUGS INSIDE THE BODY

28 protein binding -plasma proteins -tissue proteins ONLY A FREE DRUG ACTS! The bound drug is inactive. Free and bound drug are in equilibrium. Displacement: drug-drug interactions VOLUME OF DISTRIBUTION Depends on:

29 Because the result of the calculation may be a volume greater than that of the body, it is an APPARENT (imaginary, not actual) volume For example, V d of digoxin is about 645 liters for a 70 kg man (i.e. about 9 times bigger than his actual volume) VOLUME OF DISTRIBUTION V d = Amount of drug in body / Concentration of drug in plasma

30 Clinical importance of volume of distribution: When V d of a drug is big it takes long time to achieve effective plasma concentration of the drug. In such cases a loading dose may be given to boost the amount of drug in the body to the required level. This is followed by administration of lower maintenance dose.

31 METABOLIC (biotransformation) mostly in the liver the drug is made more hydrophilic – this increases its excretion in the urine EXCRETION mostly by the kidneys metabolites or unchanged GIT... enterohepatic circulation e.g. tetracyclines

32 CLEARANCE Clearance (CL) is the volume of plasma totally cleared of drug in unit of time (ml/min/kg) CL tot total CL R renal CL H hepatic CL NR nonrenal (= Cl tot - CL R )

33 Bathtube in a hotel with two holes, no plugs, and a plate indicating Vd= 1000 L, CL = 100 mL/min How would you regulate supply of water (water tap) to fill the bath in order to take a bath soon and for a longer time? Example – analogy for utilization of information on volume of distribution (Vd) and clearance (CL):

34 the half-life is the time taken for the plasma concentration to fall by half [plasmatic half-life]

35 Linear kinetics (First order) [t 1/2 is stable] In most drugs after therapeutic doses: plasma concentration falls exponentially The rate of elimination is proportional to the concentration

36 In most drugs after therapeutic doses: plasma concentration falls exponentially because elimination processes are not saturated [some robustness to dose increase ] Elimination is the bigger the higher is the level C max C min Linear kinetics (First order) The rate of elimination is proportional to the concentration

37 Elimination processes are saturated e.g. in alcohol, after higher doses of phenytoin, theophyllin [unstable t 1/2 ] Non-linear (Zero-order, saturation) kinetics For example, in alcohol the rate of metabolism remains the same at about 1 g of alcohol for 10 kg of body weight per hour The rate of elimination is constant

38 In a few drugs at therapeutic doses or in poisoning, elimination processes are saturated elimination is constant, limited C max C min Non-linear (Zero-order, saturation) kinetics [low robustness to dose increase]

40 T 1/2 as a guide to asses: 1/ At a single-dose: duration of drug action 2/ During multiple dosing: to asses whether a drug is accumulated in the body (it is - if the drug is given at intervals shorter than 1,4 half-lifes) and when a steady state is attained (in 4-5 half-lifes) 3/ After cessation of treatment: to asses the time taken for drug to be eliminated from the body (in 4-5 half-lifes)

41 [t 1/2 = 1 - 2 h] Ampicillin - single dose

42 T 1/2 as a guide to asses: 1/ At a single-dose: duration of drug action 2/ During multiple dosing: to asses whether a drug is accumulated in the body (it is accumulated if the drug is given at intervals shorter than 1,4 half-lifes) and when a steady state is attained (in 4-5 half- lifes) 3/ After cessation of treatment: to asses the time taken for drug to be eliminated from the body (in 4-5 half-lifes) THE USES OF THE HALF-LIFE

43 „PRINCIPLE OF 4-5 HALF-LIFES“: If a drug is administered in intervals shorter than 1.4 half-life, then a steady state is attained after approximately 4-5 half-lifes The time to attain the steady state is independent of dose. Steady state t 1/2 Plasma concentration

44 Attainment of steady state (SS) during multiple dosing of drug at intervals of 1 half-life Why SS is attained after 4-5 half-lifes?

45 T 1/2 as a guide to asses: 1/ At a single-dose: duration of drug action 2/ During multiple dosing: to asses whether a drug is accumulated in the body (it is - if the drug is given at intervals shorter than 1,4 half-lifes) and when a steady state is attained (in 4-5 half-lifes) 3/ After cessation of treatment: to asses the time taken for drug to be eliminated from the body (in 4-5 half-lifes) THE USES OF THE HALF-LIFE

46 Elimination of a drug during 5 half-lifes of initial level % of total elimination

47 TIME TO STEADY STATE ( attained after 4-5 half-lifes) independen of dose FLUCTUATIONS proportional to dose intervals blunted by slow absorption STEADY-STATE LEVELS (CONCENTRATIONS) proportional to dose t 1/2 REPEATED ADMINISTRATION OF DRUGS

48 Steady-state concentrations are proportional to dose Linear kinetics - diazepam plasma concentrations daily Time (days) toxic therapeutic

49 Time (days) therapeutic toxic plasma concentrations Non-linear, saturation kinetics - phenytoin daily

50 TIME TO STEADY STATE ( attained after 4-5 half-lifes) independen of dose FLUCTUATIONS proportional to dose intervals blunted by slow absorption STEADY-STATE LEVELS (CONCENTRATIONS) proportional to dose t 1/2 REPEATED ADMINISTRATION OF DRUGS

51 How to reduce fluctuations in drug concentrations? by administering drugs slowly, continually, e.g.: slow i.v. injection, infusion, sustained–release (SR) tablets, slow release from depots (e.g. from patches transdermally, depot antipsychotics injected i.m.) by administering a total dose (e.g. a daily dose) in parts at shorter intervals (mostly inconvenient) or

52 Effects of drug correlate with plasma concentrations Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) (eg. gentamicin, lithium, some antiepileptics) do not correlate with plasma concentrations - „hit and run“ - tolerance or sensitisation - active metabolites
