  • 2. Drugs in solution
    • 2.1- Drugs in solution
      • 2.1a) acid-base equilibria
        • acidic drug (ibuprofen)
          • pH= 1/2pKa - 1/2log(Co)
        • basic drug (benzocaine)
          • pH= 1/2pKw + 1/2pKa + 1/2log(Co)
      • 2.1b) acidic and basic drugs and their salts
        • b salts: salt of weak acidic drug and strong base
      • 2.1c) ionisation of drugs
        • % ionised acids = 100/ 1+ 10^(pKa-pH)
        • % ionised bases = 100/ 1+10^-(pKa-pH) = 100/ 1+10^(pH-pKa)
        • General Rules
          • weak acid
            • if pHpKa = ionised
          • weak base
            • if pHpKa = un-ionised (free base)
        • amphoteric drugs
          • ordinary vs zwitterionic
    • 2.2- Drugs partition
      • 2.2 b) pH Partition Hypothesis & Absorption
        • explains the extent of drug absorption from the GI tract
          • drugs are absorbed by transcellular passive diffusion
          • onlt lipid soluble drugs (acidic or basic drugs in un-ionised form are absorbed from GI)
      • lipophilicity - influences bioavailability following oral administration
      • 2.2a) partition coefficient- P or log P measures the way a drug distributes itself between two immiscible solvents
        • greater value of log P , higher the lipophilicity of drug
        • immiscible solvents: oil (organic phase) + water (aqueous phase)
        • partition of non-ionisable drugs
          • at equ: drug concs remain constant
        • log P ideal range: 2.0-4.5 = good absorption and distribution | aqueous and lipid solubility
        • partition of ionisable drugs
          • pH of aq phase must be adjusted such that drug is unionised
      • 2.2 c) distribution coefficient (D or log D)
        • ratio between the Udrug in lipid phase/ Idrug + Udrug concs in aqu phase
    • 2.3- Buffers
      • aqu sol consisting of mixture of weak acid + its conj base OR weak base + its conj acid
      • contains both A and B in equ
      • How it works:
        • addition of acid: if HCl added, weak base reacts with H3O+ from strong acid to form weak acid and water
          • addition of base: if NaOH added, weak acid gives up proton to transform base into water and conj base
      • H-H equation
        • pH= pKa + log[B]/[A]
      • buffer capacity = ability to resist changes in pH
        • depends on its molarity they inc together) and pH of sol
          • max buffer capacity is when pH of sol = pKa of buffer
