Transcellular pathway
drug passes through the cell- fist the membrane then the cyto then back out
1 of 30
Paracellular pathway
drug passes inbetween cells - ie they are leaky - transdermal drugs rely on this transport pathway
2 of 30
what are lipinkskis rules
no more than 5 h. bond donors. No more than 10 h bond acceptors. MW<500. logP < 5
3 of 30
an oral drug according to Lipinksi can violate how many of these criteria?
only 1
4 of 30
Tight Junctions
form between cells - prevent free mvt
5 of 30
what type of molecules have higher solubility
charged/polar/ionized molecules
6 of 30
what type of molecules are best absorbed through the membranes
un charged/ non ionised/ lipophilic
7 of 30
What are the best types of drugs
ones which have both some water and lipid solubility
8 of 30
what would happen if the drug was very insoluble
would not dissolve - no therpautic effect since x be absorbed- excreted chemically unchanged in the urine
9 of 30
how can we increase solubility (4)
1. reduce particle size, 2. change the pH, 3. form a salt/ester, 4. create and amorphous solid
10 of 30
why do charged molecules have higher solubility in water?
due to their ability to form ion-dipole interactions in water which are stronger than the other types of IMF
11 of 30
what is partitioning?
the ability of a substance to position itself in 2 layers of immiscible liquids- octanol + water are often used
12 of 30
how to work out P for non ionisable drugs
p= [drug]oct/[drug]water
13 of 30
how to work out P for ionisable drugs
[drug]oct/[drug]water+[drug ion]water
14 of 30
what does it mean if logP =0
that there is equal distribution in both liquids since log1 =0
15 of 30
what does it mean if logp >0
the drug is lipid soluble
16 of 30
what does it mean if logp <0
the drug is water soluble
17 of 30
ideal logP value for drugs
1-2 , we want it to have both water solubility and lipid solubility to max both dissolution and absorption
18 of 30
what is the pH partition theory
if we have an ionizable drug - it will be absorbed in its non ionised form - then once absorbed into the blood then it will dissociate back to form the ionised active form of the drug - ie lidocaine
19 of 30
what does the pH partition theory assume?
drug passes through the membrane via passive diffusion
20 of 30
2 types of solid are
crytsaline and amorphous
21 of 30
crytsaline
ordered, structured in arrangement .
22 of 30
Amorphous
means without form - randomly orientated- no order
23 of 30
types of crytaline solid
polymorphs 1,2,3 - they each differ by their MP, solubility, stability, dissolution rate etc
24 of 30
how to determine between crystaline and amorphous?
using power Xray diffraction
25 of 30
crystaline produces
sharp defines brag lines
26 of 30
amorphous produces
shorter less sharp brag lines
27 of 30
what type of molecules are most susceptible to hydrolytic degradation
amides, esters , B lactams (penicillin)
28 of 30
How can we prevent degradation via hydrolysis (2)
1. moisture preventing packaging 2. suspend in non aq solvent ie. alchol/glycerin
29 of 30
molecules most susceptible to oxidation
Phenols, heterlytic compounds
