Name: ____________________ UFID#: ______________________ PHA 5127 Final Exam Fall 2007 On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment. Name Please transfer the answers onto the bubble sheet. The question number refers to the number on the bubble sheet. Please fill in all the information necessary to identify yourself. The proctors will also collect your exams. GOOD LUCK. 1Name: ____________________ UFID#: ______________________ Question 1: Select the correct statement(s) concerning a two-compartment body model. (5pts) 1. For a two-compartment-body model drug, the rate constant describing the elimination of the drug from the central compartment (K10, quantifying urinary and/or metabolic elimination) is larger number than beta, 2. The bi-exponential concentration time-profile, is due to the fact that K10 changes over time. 3. Vdss is smaller than VDc 4. Let us assume that the toxicity of aminoglycosides is related to the drug-concentration in a deep peripheral compartment into which the drug enters and leaves very slowly. Drug toxicity will be observed immediately after an iv bolus of this aminoglycoside. The correct statement(s) is (are): A: 1 B: 2 and 3 C: 1 and 4 D: 1 and 3 E: 1, 2 and 3 2Name: ____________________ UFID#: ______________________ Question 2: Select from the following statements the correct statement(s) (5pts) 1. For a sustained release formulation (drug shows flip-flop kinetics), the time to reach steady state depends on the rate of release. 2. The time to reach steady state is determined by the half-life of the drug. 3. The time to reach steady state is affected by clearance and volume of distribution. 4. Time to reach steady state depends on the dosing interval. A: (1, 2, 3, 4) B: (1, 2, 4) C: (1, 3) D: (1, 2, 3) E: (2, 3) 3Name: ____________________ UFID#: ______________________ Question 3-7: The following applies to questions 3-7: A 60-kg patient is to be started on a continuous intravenous infusion. To achieve an immediate effect, a loading dose is administered over 30 min. (given as short term infusion over 30 min). The continuous infusion is started immediately after the loading dose. From a previous regimen of the same drug, the patient’s ke is 0.07 h-1 and the Vd is 40 L. Assume that none of this drug has been administered beforehand. Question 3: In order to achieve a Cpss of 7.5 mg/L, what would be the loading dose (mg) given over 30 min? (5pts) A 300 mg B 305 mg C 600 mg D 610 mg E none of the above In this question we want our concentration at the end of a 30 min infusion to be 7.5 mg/L. It is stated that this is the first dose so we can use the Cmax equation for a single dose. The purpose of a loading dose is to reach the desired concentration quickly. Cl=ke*Vd=0.07hr-1*40L=2.8L/hr Cmax=Dose/Cl*T*(1-e-ke*T) where T=infusion time Dose=Cmax*Cl*T/(1-e-ke*T) Dose=7.5mg/L*2.8L/hr*0.5 hr/(1-e-0.07*0.5)=305.23mg ~305mg 4Name: ____________________ UFID#: ______________________ A 60-kg patient is to be started on a continuous intravenous infusion. To achieve an immediate effect, a loading dose is administered over 30 min. (given as short term infusion over 30 min). The continuous infusion is started immediately after the loading dose. From a previous regimen of the same drug, the patient’s ke is 0.07 h-1 and the Vd is 40 L. Assume that none of this drug has been administered beforehand. Question 4: In order to achieve a Cpss of 7.5 mg/L, what will be the rate of the continuous infusion? (ko for the following constant rate infusion) (5pts) A: 2.1 hr-1 B: 21 mg/ 0.5 hours C: 21 mg/hr D: 21 mg E: none of the above The key to this question is to watch your units. From the equation sheet Cpss=ko/Cl ko = Cpss*Cl=7.5mg/L*2.8L/hr=21 mg/hr You can see that the L cancels out. 5Name: ____________________ UFID#: ______________________ A 60-kg patient is to be started on a continuous intravenous infusion. To achieve an immediate effect, a loading dose is administered over 30 min. (given as short term infusion over 30 min). The continuous infusion is started immediately after the loading dose. From a previous regimen of the same drug, the patient’s ke is 0.07 h-1 and the Vd is 40 L. Assume that none of this drug has been administered beforehand. Question 5: What will be the plasma concentration 12 hours after the continuous infusion was started? [Remember a loading dose infusion was given, see question 3] (5pts) A: 4.5 mg/L B : 6.5 mg/L C: 7.5 mg/L D: 15 mg/L E: None of the above. Due to the fact a loading dose was administered and we calculated the loading dose and infusion rate to remain at 7.5 mg/L in this patient, this will be the concentration until the infusion is stopped despite how long the constant infusion continues. 6Name: ____________________ UFID#: ______________________ A 60-kg patient is to be started on a continuous intravenous infusion. To achieve an immediate effect, a loading dose is administered over 30 min. (given as short term infusion over 30 min). The continuous infusion is started immediately after the loading dose. From a previous regimen of the same drug, the patient’s ke is 0.07 h-1 and the Vd is 40 L. Assume that none of this drug has been administered beforehand. Question 6: If the continuous infusion is stopped after 3 days, what will be the plasma concentration 12 hours after the stop of the infusion? Please perform calculations, we will check. (5 points) A 0.6 mg/L B: 3.25 mg/L C: 3.75 mg/L D: 6.0 mg/L E: None of the above Answer: B At steady-state, Cpss= 7.5 mg/L. After stop of the infusion: drug follows one-compartmental model with first-order elimination: Cp(t’) =Cpss*e(-ke*t’) Æ Cp(12hr) = 7.5 mg/L * e(-0.07 hr-1*12 hr) = 3.24 (mg/L) 7Name: ____________________ UFID#: ______________________ A 60-kg patient is to be started on a continuous intravenous infusion. To achieve an immediate effect, a loading dose is administered over 30 min. (given as short term infusion over 30 min). The continuous infusion is started immediately after the loading dose. From a previous regimen of the same drug, the patient’s ke is 0.07 h-1 and the Vd is 40 L. Assume that none of this drug has been administered beforehand. Question 7: The infusion is continued for 3 days and the steady state concentration has been maintained at 7.5 mg/L.
