If we know the amount (=mass; = g, mg or g) of Iodine weput in the baker and measure the concentration of Iodinein the water (analogous to plasma or serum), we cancalculate the volume of the beaker irrespectively of itsactual volume.
According to the calculation, beaker B will have largervolume

Apparent Volume of Distribution - Calculation
13
To calculate the volume of distribution, we need toknow the drug dose X 0 (mass) and the initial drugconcentration in the plasma (C
p )
0(mass/volume)
Then, (C p )0 = X 0 /V d V d = X 0 / (C p )0 Because actual (C p )0 cannot be measured, and wecant measure Xt either, we use the extrapolation of the C p vs. t graph
7/28/2019 pdf. 18.3
14/65
Actual Factors That Determine the V d
14
The volume of distribution is determined by the physico-chemical properties of the drug
The most important factor is the lipophilicity of the drug: themore lipophilic, the larger the V d
Also important is the membrane permeability of the drug (oftenrelated to lipophilicity)
Many drugs are highly bound to plasma proteins, or are toopolar to penetrate from blood to tissues and therefore have verylow Vd these include many acidic drugs like salycilates,sulfonamides and penicillins
Theoretically, V d can vary between 3.5 and 500L. Actual V d svary between 7-10L to 200L

The Nature of V d
15
Vd is a parameter, which means that for one drug andone individual it is a constant
It is thus independent of dose and time in all cases
It is similar, but not identical between persons It may vary with age and gender you can use apooled population average in some cases
Vd for a drug in populations is often expressed asV/body mass in order to eliminate weight differencesbetween individual

Elimination Half Life - Definition
18
The elimination half life t is the time when (C p)0 (and X0) is reduced by half
t , like Vd is a parameter it varies between drugs
and individuals, but is the same with time and dose .

The Elimination Rate Constant

The elimination rate constant K or K el can becalculated using several related methods
1. From the equation:

The Elimination Rate Constant
25
2. Directly from the slope of the graph:-K = (slope) x 2.303, so
Where Y represents C p
and K = - (slope) x 2.3033. From t , because we know that:t = 0.693 /K K = 0.693/ t

The Elimination Rate Constant
26
3. From t , because we know that:t = 0.693 /K K = 0.693/ t
The unit of K is reciprocal time: time -1 in minutes orhours
K represents the total elimination (irreversible loss) of drug from the body
Therefore, it is composed of the rate constant forelimination of unchanged drug via the urine (K u) andmetabolism (K m), so that:
K = K u + K m , or for two metabolites: K = K u + K m1 + K m2

From the semi-log graph we first determine (C p )0 bydrawing the line from our first sample point at 1h to t =0
(C p )0 = 63 g/mL
Then, we determine t graphically using convenientconcentrations: 20, 10 and 5 g/mL t = 1.3h
We can now calculate V d :and X0 a= 600mg and (C p )0 = 63 g/mLso

Therefore, we will use Microsoft Excel and a different
method of calculating K , t When we get a set of values of plasma levels vs. timepoints, we first convert the values to log, then put themin a graph of log(C
p) against time

If we also know the dose ( X 0), we can now calculatethe apparent volume of distribution V from X 0 and ( C p )0
We know that the Y-axis intercept represents (C p )0 , but
we have to remember that our line-equation is log( C p ) and therefore, we have to convert our intercept back to(C p )0

Performing an IV Bolus Experiment
37
When performing a real experiment:1. We administer a known dose of drug in a suitable vehicle(concentration x volume = dose) 2. Collect blood samples at least up to t x 4.32, more often at
the beginning 4.32 3. Clean and analyze the samples with a suitable analytical
method (most commonly bioassay with HPLC ) anddetermine C p at each time-point
4. Plot the data in a semilogarithmic plot
5. Calculate our PK parameters: V d , K el , t and (C p )0

Why Should We Do It?
40
Monitoring the urine for unchanged drug andmetabolites is a way to investigate drug metabolism
It is an easy and non-invasive method obtain PK data
It has the obvious disadvantages that we can not samplevery often, and we can not determine the exact sampletime
The data obtained reflects average excretion of aninterval

Cumulative Excretion in Urine

First of all, we can determine if there is a drugmetabolism: if (X u ) X 0, there is metabolism,and K Ku
, . If the metabolite is excreted in urine (which is almost
always the case), then the mass balance dictates:where: (X) t is the amount of drug in the body at time t,(Xu) is the amount excreted in the urine, (X m) is theamount of metabolite in the body, and (X mu ) is themetabolite excreted in the urine

How Urinary Excretion Data are used
44
There are two methods we can use to calculateparameters from urinary excretion data:1. The method based on the Amount Remaining to be
Excreted, called the ARE, or the Sigma Minus method 2. The Rate of Excretion Method

Amount Remaining To BeExcreted (ARE) Method
45
7/28/2019 pdf. 18.3
46/65
The ARE method
465-4
In this method, we use the fact that the amount of drugremaining in the body is equal to the dose minus theexcreted amount to make an elimination plot and
calculate the elimination constant. So all the drug isexcreted in urine:
7/28/2019 pdf. 18.3
47/65
The ARE method
47
We can describe the amount remaining in the body by
where (X u ) - (X u )t is the amount remaining in the body and (X u ) = X 0 the given dose Now we can calculate the excretion rate constant from the graphof the remaining amount vs. time

The ARE method Limitations
495-4
The ARE method is difficult to apply because:1. Urine must be collected until there is almost no drug
in urine because we need to know that (X u) X0
We need about 7t - this can be very long time7
, !!! .
2. We need to collect all the urine in all samples3. There is a cumulative build up of errorThe ARE method is thus not very precise and very timeconsuming method especially for drugs with long t
