On the Way to More Convenient Description of Drug-Plasma Protein Binding
نویسندگان
چکیده
The theoretical case is considered where the total amount of plasma protein is conserved, but the drug is eliminated after its single application. After a single drug application at time t = 0, the total drug concentration is measured at times ti,...,tk and the total drug concentration at time ti is denoted by φi. Our discussion is limited to one protein binding site. The quantity of plasma protein (Λ), the association constant (Ka) and the total concentration of the drug φi at time ti are considered as independent variables. Free drug concentration, plasma protein bound concentration and free drug fraction are given as functions of these ”new” variables. The aim of this communication is to derive the formula that allows to calculate the free drug concentration at any time after the drug application, based on 3 parameters: the association constant of the drug, the total plasma concentration of the drug and the concentration of the protein. If the plasma protein quantity (Λ) and the association constant (Ka) are known, then from the knowledge of the total drug concentration φi at time ti it is possible to determine the free drug concentration at time ti.

Generally, plasma proteins owe their binding capacity to the presence of aminoacid units which enter into intra- and intermolecular hydrophobic bonding with a diverse range of endo- and exogenous chemical substances. The intermolecular interactions between the hydrophobic areas of drug molecules and those of plasma proteins play an important role in drug-macromolecular complex formation and...

The pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin following its single intramuscular administration (3 mg/kg) was investigated in six male buffalo calves. Peak plasma level of 2.95 ± 0.13μg/ml was observed at 1 h and the drug level above MIC90 in plasma was detected up to 12 h of administration. The bioavailability was 68.1 ± 5.4% and levofloxacin was bound to the plasma proteins to the extent of 19.1 ± 1....
