Study Notes

Drug Transfer Across Cell Membranes

Lipid solubility of drugs allows them to cross the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes.
Drugs with a molecular weight between 100 and 1500 D can cross membranes by lipid diffusion.
Aqueous diffusion of drugs occurs through aquaporin protein channels, dependent on channel number, concentration gradient, water solubility, and molecular size of the drug.
Facilitated diffusion is mediated by a protein carrier, does not require energy, and is structurally selective for the drug.
Active transport, an energy-dependent process driven by ATP hydrolysis, moves drugs against a concentration gradient and is saturable.
Active transport can be primary (directly ATP-driven) or secondary (derived from ionic concentration differences).
Carrier-mediated processes include active transport and facilitated diffusion, with influx transporters increasing drug absorption and efflux transporters decreasing it.
Endocytosis involves cell membrane engulfing of drugs, which are transported into the cell by vesicle formation and may be receptor-mediated.
Exocytosis is used to secrete substances out of the cell through vesicle formation, exemplified by insulin transport from pancreatic cells.
Some drugs are too large to pass through the plasma cell membrane or transport proteins and enter cells by endocytosis, such as hormones, growth factors, and antibodies.
Bulk flow transport of drugs across cell barriers occurs through the movement of fluids and solutes, contributing to drug transfer.
The movement of drugs across cell membranes can occur through transcellular movement (across cells) or paracellular movement (through gaps between cells), impacting drug absorption and distribution.

Routes of Drug Administration and Absorption

Nitroglycerin has rapid, direct systemic absorption, bypassing first-pass effect and stomach acid destruction
Rectal administration may be used for systemic or local effects, primarily by lipid diffusion, but drugs may irritate rectal mucosa
Topical application is suitable for local effects on the skin, but absorption can be variable and unsuitable for certain drugs
Transdermal administration, primarily by lipid diffusion, bypasses first-pass effect, ideal for lipophilic drugs, but some patients may be allergic to patches
Pulmonary administration as gases achieves systemic effects, primarily by lipid diffusion through the alveolar membrane, but requires sophisticated equipment
Pulmonary administration as aerosols achieves local effect, primarily by lipid diffusion through the alveolar membrane, with locally high drug concentration and delayed systemic absorption
Intravenous administration achieves systemic effects, with immediate drug availability in systemic circulation, suitable for emergency situations, but strict aseptic techniques are needed
Intramuscular administration, depending on drug diluents, is suitable for moderate volumes, but may affect certain lab tests and be painful
Subcutaneous administration, depending on drug diluents, is suitable for slow-release drugs, but may cause pain if drug is irritating and is unsuitable for large volumes
Special parenteral routes, such as intrathecal, intraarterial, intracardiac, intrapleural, and intraperitoneal, are used to localize drug effects at specific sites
Learning objectives include drug absorption, factors affecting it, bioavailability, routes of administration, speed and magnitude of drug effect, and AUC calculation
Drug absorption into the systemic circulation is necessary for drugs to exert their effects, except for IV or cutaneous administration
