Study Notes
Pharmacokinetic Principles of Two-Compartment Modeling
- Two-compartment model involves calculating loading dose based on the total volume of distribution (V) and administering the loading dose at a slow rate to allow for drug distribution into Vt.
- Guidelines for rates of drug administration are often based on ensuring that the drug concentration does not exceed a critical level in Vi to prevent toxicity.
- Potassium is a good example of a drug that follows the principle of two-compartment modeling, with an initial rapid decline in the central compartment.
- The concept of two-compartment modeling is important in evaluating the onset and offset of drug effects, particularly for drugs with end organs located in Vi.
- The second approach of two-compartment modeling involves the overall processes of elimination of the drug from the body, assuming the drug is distributed into a larger volume of distribution.
- Plasma concentrations obtained before distribution is complete cannot be used to predict the therapeutic or toxic potential of drugs like digoxin and lithium.
- Slow drug distribution into the tissue compartment can pose problems in accurately interpreting drug concentrations when the drug is given intravenously.
- Theoretical tissue concentrations, together with blood concentrations, are important when the drug’s target organ is in the second or tissue compartment (Vt).
- The rate of absorption is usually slower than the rate of distribution from Vi to Vt, and the pharmacologic response may be less than the plasma concentrations would indicate for some drugs.
- Drugs can be successfully modeled as one-compartment drugs if the elimination or beta phase is considered, and increased drug plasma concentrations during the alpha phase can be clinically significant.
- Some drugs exhibit "nonsignificant" two-compartment modeling, while others are considered to exhibit "significant" two-compartment modeling based on the pharmacokinetic parameters and the behavior of the drug.
- For some drugs, smaller, rapidly equilibrating volumes are involved, and significant elimination occurs during the initial alpha phase, as in the case of methotrexate.
