Bioavailability, Bioequivalence, and Pharmacokinetics. Bioavailabihty can be defined as the amount and rate of absorption of a dmg into the body from an adrninistered dmg product. It is affected by the excipient ingredients in the product, the manufacturing technologies employed, and physical and chemical properties of the dmg itself, eg, particle size and polymorphic form. Two dmg products of the same type, eg, compressed tablets, that contain the same amount of the same dmg are pharmaceutical equivalents, but may have different degrees of bioavailabihty. These are chemical equivalents but are not necessarily bioequivalents. For two pharmaceutically equivalent dmg products to be bioequivalent, they must achieve the same plasma concentration in the same amount of time, ie, have equivalent bioavadabihties. [Pg.227]

The separation of enantiomers is a very important topic to the pharmaceutical industry. It is well recognized that the biological activities and bioavailabilities of enantiomers often differ [1]. To further complicate matters, the pharmacokinetic profile of the racemate is often not just the sum of the profiles of the individual enantiomers. In many cases, one enantiomer has the desired pharmacological activity, whereas the other enantiomer may be responsible for undesirable side-effects. What often gets lost however is the fact that, in some cases, one enantiomer may be inert and, in many cases, both enantiomers may have therapeutic value, though not for the same disease state. It is also possible for one enantiomer to mediate the harmful effects of the other enantiomer. For instance, in the case of indacrinone, one enantiomer is a diuretic but causes uric acid retention, whereas the other enantiomer causes uric acid elimination. Thus, administration of a mixture of enantiomers, although not necessarily racemic, may have therapeutic value. [Pg.286]

Diclofenac is an exceedingly potent COX inhibitor slightly more efficacious against COX-2 than COX-1. Its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract varies according to the type of pharmaceutical formulation used. The oral bioavailability is only 30-80% due to a first-pass effect. Diclofenac is rapidly metabolised (hydroxylation and conjugation) and has a plasma half-life of 1.5 h. The metabolites are excreted renally and via the bile. [Pg.875]

Recently, leaders in the pharmaceutical industry have developed a list of desired properties for a fourth generation of SERMs (Table 2). In general, future SERMs must oppose endogenous hormone action in the breast and reproductive system while displaying full estrogenic effects in the cardiovasculature, bone and central nervous systems. Additional criteria are that fourth generation compounds possess superior bioavailability compared with existing SERMs and have... [Pg.1116]

Since full analyses are carried out, a lot of data are generated. Every parameter is reviewed for trends that signal product aging or outright decomposition of the active principle this can be as cosmetic in nature as discoloration or as potentially hazardous as buildup of toxic derivatives. If the drug substance is an ester, for example, hydrolysis, particularly if moisture penetrates the primary packaging material, will decompose the compound into its acid and alcohol components. From a pharmaceutical or medical viewpoint, even if there is no toxicity issue involved, this will result in a loss of bioavailability. Even this is to be avoided because subpotency introduces therapeutic uncertainty and can go as far as lethal undertreatment. [Pg.246]

Traditionally, in pursuit of their structure-activity relationships, medicinal chemists had focused almost exclusively on finding compounds with greater and greater potency. However, these SARs often ended up with compounds that were unsuitable for development as pharmaceutical products. These compounds would be too insoluble in water, or were not orally bioavailable, or were eliminated too quickly or too slowly from mammalian bodies. Pharmacologists and pharmaceutical development scientists for years had tried to preach the need for medicinal chemists to also think about other factors that determined whether a compound could be a medicine. Table 1.1 lists a number of factors that determine whether a potent compound has what it takes to become a drug. Experimentally, it was difficult to quantitate these other factors. Often, the necessary manpower resources would not be allocated to a compound until it had already been selected for project team status. [Pg.35]

The search for an effective non-peptide oxytocin antagonist has become a major goal of a number of pharmaceutical companies because of the poor pharmacokinetic properties and especially the lack of oral bioavailability associated with peptidic antagonists. Early research in this field was dominated by Merck, but in recent years significant research efforts at GlaxoSmithKline and Serono have been published. A number of other companies, notably Sanofi-Aventis, Yamanouchi and Wyeth, have had a major presence in vasopressin receptor research and oxytocin is frequently included in patent claims for the molecules. Occasionally, oxytocin-selective compounds have been reported, usually derived by adaptation of the vasopressin antagonist template. [Pg.349]

Another physical property that can affect the appearance, bioavailability, and chemical stability of pharmaceuticals is degree of crystallinity. Amorphous materials tend to be more hygroscopic than their crystalline counterparts. Also, there is a substantial body of evidence that indicates that the amorphous forms of drugs are less stable than their crystalline counterparts [62]. It has been reported, for example,... [Pg.153]

A good deal of attention recently has been directed towards the use of derivatives of cyclodextrin for the solubilization and stabilization of pharmaceuticals [124 126]. One cautionary note—complexation may adversely affect the dissolution an/or permeability characteristics of the drug, thereby possibly decreasing drug bioavailability. [Pg.166]

Topical preparations, like all other dosage forms, must be formulated, manufactured, and packaged in a manner that assures that they meet general standards of bioavailability, physical (physical system) stability, chemical (ingredient) stability, freedom from contamination, and elegance. Like all other pharmaceuticals, these factors must remain essentially invariant over the stated shelf life of the product and they must be reproducible from batch to batch. [Pg.227]
