Document Summary
Absorption; movement of a drug from its site of admin into the body. Distribution; movement of drug out of the blood into the tissues and site of action. Metabolism; or breakdown of drug (mainly in liver but also other tissues. Excretion; of a drug and metabolites (in urine, faeces and other matrices) Barrier through which drugs must pass; e. g. from stomach into blood and distribution to tissues. Cell membrane basically consists of phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid molecule has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic (lipophilic) tail. Also contains cholesterol (for strength and consistency of membrane) Within larger aqueous compartments (e. g. interstitial space) Across membranes via pores (small molecules only) Passive (simple) diffusion is movement across cell membrane without the need for energy expenditure. Lipid soluble drugs dissolve in cell membrane and diffuse across the membrane. Water soluble drugs cross cell membrane through aqueous channels in membrane (small molecules)
