One compartment open model

The one-compartment open model offers the simplest
way to describe the process of drug distribution and
elimination in the body.

This model assumes that the drug can enter or leave the
body (ie, the model is "open"), and the body acts like a
single, uniform compartment.

The simplest route of drug administration from a
modeling perspective is a rapid intravenous injection (IV
bolus).
6
One compartment open model

The simplest kinetic model that describes drug
disposition in the body is to consider that the
drug is injected all at once into a box, or
compartment, and that the drug distributes
instantaneously and homogenously throughout
the compartment.

Drug elimination also occurs from the
compartment immediately after injection.

One compartment:

Properties of a Pharmacokinetic
Compartment
1.
Kinetic homogeneity. A compartment contains tissues
that can be grouped according to similar kinetic
properties to the drug allowing for rapid distribution
between tissues
2.
Although tissues within a compartment are kinetically
homogeneous, drug concentrations within a
compartment may have different concentrations of drug
depending on the partitioning and binding properties of
the drug.
3.
Within each compartment, distribution is immediate and
rapidly reversible.
4.
Compartments are interconnected by first-order rate
constants. Input rate constants may be zero order

Apparent Volume of Distribution
(Vd)

In general, drug equilibrates rapidly in the body. When
plasma or any other biologic compartment is sampled
and analyzed for drug content, the results are usually
reported in units of concentration instead of amount

Each individual tissue in the body may contain a different
concentration of drug due to differences in drug affinity
for that tissue. Therefore, the amount of drug in a given
location can be related to its concentration by a
proportionality constant that reflects the volume of fluid
the drug is dissolved in

The volume of distribution represents a volume that must
be considered in estimating the amount of drug in the
body from the concentration of drug found in the
15
sampling compartment
The real Volume of Distribution has physiological
meaning and is related to body water

Apparent Volume of Distribution

Drugs which binds selectively to plasma proteins, e.g.
Warfarin have apparent volume of distribution smaller
than their real volume of distribution

Drugs which binds selectively to extravascular tissues,
e.g. Chloroquines have apparent volume of distribution
larger than their real volume of distribution. The Vd of
such drugs is always greater than 42 L (Total body
water)

Elimination rate constant (K)

Elimination rate constant represents the fraction
of drug removed per unit of time

K has a unit of reciprocal of time (e.g. minute-1,
hour-1, and day-1)

With first-order elimination, the rate of
elimination is directly proportional to the serum
drug concentration

Elimination half life (t1/2)

The elimination half life is sometimes
called ‘‘biological half-life’’ of a drug

The elimination half life is defined as the
time (h, min, day, etc.) at which the mass
(or amount) of unchanged drug becomes
half (or 50%) of the initial mass of drug
33
Elimination half life (t1/2) estimation

Two methods:
 From
the value of K:
t1/ 2
 Directly
0.693

K
from Conc vs. time plot
Select a concentration on the best fit line (C1)
 Look for the time that is needed to get to 50% of
C1  half-life

34
Clearance (Cl)

Clearance is a measure of the removal of drug
from the body

Plasma drug concentrations are affected by the
rate at which drug is administered, the volume in
which it distributes, and its clearance

A drug’s clearance and the volume of distribution
determine its half life
35
Clearance (Cl)

Clearance (expressed as volume/time) describes the
removal of drug from a volume of plasma in a given unit
of time (drug loss from the body)

Clearance does not indicate the amount of drug being
removed. It indicates the volume of plasma (or blood)
from which the drug is completely removed, or cleared,
in a given time period.

Figures in the following two slides represent two ways of
thinking about drug clearance:

In the first Figure, the amount of drug (the number of dots)
decreases but fills the same volume, resulting in a lower
concentration
 Another way of viewing the same decrease would be to
calculate the volume that would be drug-free if the
concentration were held constant as resented in the
36
second Figure
Clearance (Cl)
the amount of drug (the number of
dots) decreases but fills the same
volume, resulting in a lower
concentration
37
Clearance (Cl)
38
Clearance (Cl)

The most general definition of clearance is that it is ‘‘a
proportionality constant describing the relationship
between a substance’s rate of elimination (amount per
unit time) at a given time and its corresponding
concentration in an appropriate fluid at that time.’’

Clearance can also be defined as ‘‘the hypothetical
volume of blood (plasma or serum) or other biological
fluids from which the drug is totally and irreversibly
removed per unit time.’’
39
Clearance (Cl) estimation

For ALL LINEAR pharmacokinetics (including
one compartment) , clearance is calculated
using:
dose
Cl 
AUC
where AUC is the area under the concentration
curve (it will be discussed later)
40
Clearance (Cl) estimation

For One compartment pharmacokinetics ,
clearance is calculated using:
Cl  K Vd
41
Clearance (Cl)

Drugs can be cleared from the body by
different pathways, or organs, including
hepatic biotransformation and renal and
biliary excretion. Total body clearance of a
drug is the sum of all the clearances by
various mechanisms.
Clt  Clr  Clh  Clother
(Cl t , Clr and Clh  total, renal, and hepatic Cl)
42
Elimination rate

The elimination rate at any time can be
calculated using:
 Elimination
rate = K*X(t)
OR
 Elimination rate = Cl*C(t)
where

X(t) is the amount of drug in the body at time t,
 C(t) is the concntration of drug at time t
43
Area Under the Conc. Time Curve


Two methods:
 Model
dependent: can be used only for one
compartment IV bolus
 Model independent: Can be used for any drug
with any route of administration
44
AUC calculation: Model dependent

With one compartment model, first-order

administration, the AUC can be calculated

Case 2: Duration of Action

The duration of action of a drug may be
considered to be the length of time the
plasma concentration spends above the
MEC. Its determination is best illustrated
by example 2.
57
Case 2: Duration of Action

Continuing with the
drug used in Example
1, if the therapeutic
range is between 5
and 0.3 mg/L, how
long are the plasma
concentrations in the
therapeutic range?
58
Case 2: Duration of Action

As indicated in the diagram (previous
slide) C0 =1 mg/L. Thus, at time zero the
plasma concentration is in the therapeutic
range. The plasma concentration will
remain therapeutic until it falls to the MEC
(0.3 mg/L). At what time does this occur?

It is important to note that the first method for

log(Cp(t  2))  2  (0.1)(2)  1.8
 Cp(t  2)  101.8  63 mg/L
