1. the route of administration - how a drug is taken into the body
2. absorption and distribution - factors affecting its absorption and how it gets
distributed to the brain
![Page 10: Week 2 outline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813b60550346895da45ae4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
3. metabolism (detoxification or breakdown)how a drug is broken down or made into inactive
forms
4. excretion – (elimination)◦ how the drug is eliminated
![Page 11: Week 2 outline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813b60550346895da45ae4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Knowing about pharmacokinetics tells us critical information about insight into the actions of a drug.
Ex. benzodiazepenesultra short acting, short acting, long acting

Sustained Release Controlled Release Extended Release Time or Timed Release
How is this achieved?◦ Embed in a web of substance that the body is slow to
dissolve◦ drug to swell up to form a gel with a nearly impenetrable
surface, wherein the drug slowly exits the semipermeable layer
◦ may have a coating over the active ingredient, ◦ may contain tiny time release beads, individually coated

Lipid solubility – how soluble the drug is in fats
◦ cell membranes are lipid bilayers◦ similar characteristics allow drugs to cross brain
as to cross into cells
![Page 58: Week 2 outline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813b60550346895da45ae4/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Lipid solubility
Size of molecule
Ionization – whether the degree has a charge (+ or -)
![Page 59: Week 2 outline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813b60550346895da45ae4/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
pKa – the pH at which ½ of the molecules are
ionized most drugs are either weakly basic or
weakly acidic
Basic drugs are highly ionized in acidic environment
Acidic drugs are highly ionized in basic environment
![Page 60: Week 2 outline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813b60550346895da45ae4/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
pKa – the pH at which ½ of the molecules are
ionized
the closer the pKa of the drug is to the local tissue pH, the more unionized the drug is.
ex. morphine – pKa of 8stomach ~ pH ~ 3
caffeine – pH .5

◦ Distribution half-life: the amount of time it takes for half of the drug to be distributed throughout the body
◦ Therapeutic level: the minimum amount of the distributed drug necessary for the main effect.
![Page 62: Week 2 outline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813b60550346895da45ae4/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Until this time, drug movement has been mostly passive from regionsof higher concentration to lower concentration.
Elimination of drugs usually requires more of an active process (except gaseous drugs).

located primarily in hepatocytes
important for metabolism of alcohol, tranquilizers, barbiturates, antianxiety drugs, estrogens, androgens, PCBs and other agents
oxidative metabolism – makes drugs more water soluble (so more easily excreted)
There are about 12 CYP families.◦ CYP1, 2, and 3 = most common for drug metabolism.◦ CYP2D6 and CYP3A (especially 3A4) metabolize over
50 percent of drugs.
Cytochrome p450 enzyme family

CYP enzymes -◦ enzyme induction -
liver produces extra enzyme to break down drug with continued exposure
![Page 72: Week 2 outline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56813b60550346895da45ae4/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Examples and Consequences:St. John's Wort: (with active ingredient hyperforin) stimulates a receptor (SXR in humans, PXR in nonhumans) in the liver to induce CYP3A, CYP3A breaks down many other drugs: theophylline (asthma), warfarin (anticlotting),
birth control pills, and immunosuppressant
cyclosporin.

Enzyme Inhibition◦ Some drugs inhibit CYP enzymes and
increase their own levels, as well as levels of any other drug metabolized by that enzyme. Can produce toxicities.
◦ Example: Inhibition of antipsychotic medication by SSRIs.

In some cases, biotransformation can be to another psychoactive compound
ex. benzodiazepenes
diazepam nordiazepam oxazepam

Excretion ◦ Primarily accomplished by kidneys.
2 organs (about the size of a fist) located on either side of the spine in the back.
Keep the right balance of water and salt in the body
Filter everything out of blood and then selectively reabsorb what is required.
Can be useful for eliminating certain drugs in overdose.

all drugs not in gaseous state need to use fluid routes of excretion◦ fluid routes include -sweat, tears, saliva, mucous,
urine, bile, human milk
◦ amount of drug excreted in each of these fluids is in direct proportion to amount of fluid excreted SO…….

Sometimes drugs are not metabolized and are excreted intact.◦ Lithium ◦ Mushroom amanita muscaria
In large doses it is toxic and lethal; small amounts are hallucinogenic.
Hallucinogenic ingredients are not greatly metabolized and are passed to the urine. Siberian tribespeople discovered this and recycled the drug by drinking their urine.

half-life - time takes for the blood concentration to fall to half its initial value after a single dose
½ life tells us critical information about how long the action of a drug will last
