Biopharmaceutical and Pharmacokinetic Considerations Biopharmaceutic Considerations
Biopharmaceutics is the area of the study embracing the
relationship between physical, chemical and biological sciences as they apply to drug and to drug action ADME
Bioavailability - describe the rate and extent to which an
active drug ingredient or therapeutic moiety is absorbed from a drug product and becomes available at the site of the drug action. Bioequivalence - refers to the comparison of bioavailabilities of different formulations, drug products, or batches of the same drug product. Bioavailability Data are used to determine: 1. The amount or proportion of drug absorbed from a formulation or dosage form 2. The rate at which the drug was absorbed 3. The duration of the drugs presence in the biologic fluid or tissue; and, when correlated with patient response 4. The relationship between drug blood levels and clinical efficacy and toxicity Terms Used To define The Type or Level Of Equivalency Between Drug Products
Pharmaceutical Equivalents -are drug products that contain
identical amounts of the identical active ingredient. Example: the same salt or ester of the same therapeutic moiety
Pharmaceutical Alternatives - are drug products that contain
the identical therapeutic moiety, or its precursor, but not necessarily in the same amount or dosage form or as the same salt or ester.
Bioequivalent Drug Products - are pharmaceutical equivalents
or pharmaceutical alternatives whose rate and extent of absorption do not show a significant difference when administered at the same molar dose of the therapeutic moiety under similar experimental conditions, either single dose or multiple dose. Therapeutic Equivalent - has been used to indicate pharmaceutical equivalent which, when administered to the same individuals in the same dosage regimens, will provide essentially the same therapeutic effect. The most common experimental plan to compare the bioavailability of two drug products is the simple crossover design study. (12 to 14 individuals, males between 18 to 40 years, same height and weight) How A Drug Passes Through The Body 1. Absorption = The site at which a drug enters the body affects its rates of absorption a. Skin c. Digestive Tract b. Lungs d. Bloodstream 2. Distribution = Most drugs enter the bloodstream; many are then distributed to cells of various organs a. Bone e. Glands b. Nerves f. Heart c. Muscles g. Cells d. Brain h. Other organs 3. Metabolism = A drug is partially broken down, usually in the liver, before or after distribution a. Liver 4. Elimination = Finally, a drug is eliminated, mainly via kidneys, but also in stools and tears or through breathing a. Breast milk c. Tears b. Saliva d. Sweat APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GENERIC DRUG PRODUCTS
1. Contain the same active ingredients as the pioneer
drug (inert ingredient may vary) 2. Be identical in strength, dosage form, and route of administration 3. Have the same indications and precautions for use and other labeling instructions 4. Be bioequivalent 5. Meet the same batch to batch requirements for identity, strength, purity, and quality 6. Be manufactured under the same strict standards of FDAs CGMP regulations as required for pioneer products. Some Factors Which Can influence The Bioavailability Of Orally Administered Drugs
