CHAPTER 3 PHARMACOKINETIC MODELS
1
PHARMACOKINETIC MODELING
A
Model
is a hypothesis using mathematical terms to describe quantitative relationships
MODELING REQUIRES:
Thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology Understanding the concepts and limitations of mathematical models.
Assumptions are made for simplicity 2
OUTCOME
The development of equations to describe drug concentrations in the body as a function of time
HOW?
By fitting the model to the experimental data known as variables.
A PK function relates an
independent
variable to a
dependent
variable.

Complexity of PK model will vary with:
1- Route of administration 2- Extent and duration of distribution into various body fluids and tissues.
3- The processes of elimination.
4- Intended application of the PK model.
We Always Choose the SIMPLEST Model
5
Types of PK Models 1- Physiologic (Perfusion) Models 2- Compartmental Models 3- Mammillary Models
6
PHYSILOGIC PK MODELS
Models are based on known physiologic and anatomic data.
Blood flow is responsible for distributing drug to various parts of the body.
Each tissue volume must be obtained and its drug conc described.
Predict realistic tissue drug conc Applied only to animal species and human data can be extrapolated.
7
PHYSILOGIC PK MODELS
Can study how physiologic factors may change drug distribution from one animal species to another No data fitting is required Drug conc in the various tissues are predicted by organ tissue size, blood flow, and experimentally determined drug tissue-blood ratios.
Pathophysiologic conditions can affect distribution.

COMPARTMENTAL MODELS
The body is represented by a series of compartments that communicate reversibly with each other.

10
COMPARTMENTAL MODELS
A compartment is not a real physiologic or anatomic region, but it is a tissue or group of tissues having similar blood flow and drug affinity.
Within each compartment the drug is considered to be uniformly distributed.
Drug move in and out of compartments Compartmental models are based on linear differential equations.
Rate constants are used to describe drug entry into and out from the compartment.
11
COMPARTMENTAL MODELS
The model is an open system since drug is eliminated from the system.
The amount of drug in the body is the sum of drug present in the compartments.
Extrapolation from animal data is not possible because the volume is not a true volume but is a mathematical concept.
Parameters are kinetically determined from the data.
12
MAMMILLARY MODELS
Is the most common compartmental model used in PK. The model consists of one or more compartments connected to a central compartment k a k el 1 1 k 12 k 21 2 2 1 3

One Compartment Open Model Intravenous Administration The one compartment model offers the simplest way to describe the process of drug distribution and elimination in the body.

Input Blood (V d ) k el Output When the drug is administered i.v. in a single rapid injection, the process of absorption is bypassed
17
One Compartment Open Model Intravenous Administration
The one-compartment model does not predict actual drug levels in the tissues, but does imply that changes in the plasma levels of a drug will result in proportional changes in tissue drug levels.
18
FIRST-ORDER KINETICS
The rate of elimination for most drugs is a first-order process.
k el is a first-order rate constant with a unit of inverse time such as hr -1 .

INTEGRATED EQUATIONS
The rate of change of drug plasma conc over time is equal to:
dC p
k el C p dt
This expression shows that the rate of elimination of drug from the body is a first order process and depends on k el 21

Elimination Half-Life (t

)
Is the time taken for the drug conc or the amount in the body to fall by one-half, such as
Cp = ½ Cp 0 or D B = ½ D B 0
Therefore,

25
Is
Volume of Distribution (V
d
)
the volume in which the drug is dissolved in the body.
Example:
1 gram of drug is dissolved in an unknown volume of water. Upon assay the conc was found to be 1mg/ml. What is the original volume of the solution?
V = Amount / Conc = 1/1= 1 liter
Also, if the volume and the conc are known, then the original amount dissolved can be calculated
Amount = V X Conc= 1X1= 1 gram
26
Apparent V
d
It is called apparent because it does not have any physiological meaning. Drugs that are highly lipid soluble, such as digoxin has a very high V d (600 liters), drugs which are lipid insoluble remain in the blood and have a low V d .
For digoxin, if that were a physiological space and I were all water, that would weigh about 1320 lb (599 kg).
27
Apparent V
d
V d is the ratio between the amount of drug in the body (dose given) and the concentration measured in blood or plasma.
Therefore, V d is calculated from the equation:
V d = D B / C P
where, D B C p = amount of drug in the body = plasma drug concentration 28
For One Compartment Model with IV Administration:
With rapid IV injection the dose is equal to the amount of drug in the body at zero time (D B ).

Since,
dD B /dt = -k el D = -k el V d C p dD B = -k el V d C p dt
dD B = -k el V d
Since,
C p C dt = AUC p dt
Then,
AUC = Dose / k el V d

Significance of V
d
Drugs can have V d equal, smaller or greater than the body mass Drugs with small V d are usually confined to the central compartment or highly bound to plasma proteins Drugs with large V d are usually confined in the tissue V d can also be expressed as % of body mass and compared to true anatomic volume V d is constant but can change due to pathological conditions or with age 32
Apparent V
d Example:
if the V d is 3500 ml for a subject weighing 70 kg, the V d expressed as percent of body weight would be: 3 .

The larger the apparent V
d
, the greater the amount of drug in the extravascular tissues. Note that the plasma represents about 4.5% of the body weight
CLEARANCE (Cl)
Is the volume of blood that is cleared of drug per unit time (i.e. L/hr).
Cl is a measure of drug elimination from the body without identifying the mechanism or process.
Cl for a first-order elimination process is constant regardless of the drug conc.
