1 poise = 1 dyne x sec/cm^2 1 atm = 760 mmHg 0.987 atm - 10^6 dyne/cm^2 1 cm^3 = 1 mL L = 3.2 mm = 0.32 cm r = 0.0012 cm delta P = 20 mmHg n = 0.04 dyne x sec/cm^2 Convert delta P to dyne/cm^2 20 mmHg x 1 atm/760 mmHg x 10^6 dyne/cm^2/0.987 atm = 26662 dyne/cm^2 Q = (pi x r^4)/8n x [delta P/L] = (pi x (0.0012 cm)^4 x 26662 dynes/cm^2)/(8 x 0.04 dyne x sec/cm^2 x 0.32 cm) =1.7 x 10^-6 cm^3/sec = 1.7 x 10^-6 mL/sec x 60 sec/min = 1.02 x 10^-4 mL/min
The aorta has average length of 30 cm and radius of 1.25 cm. The pressure drop (difference between pressure at beginning of aorta and that at the end of aorta) along aorta is about 120 dynes/cm^2. The viscosity of blood is 1.5 cp. This gives an average cardiac output of 256 cm^3/s. If aorta radius were to decrease to 1.2 cm, how would the pressure drop change (assuming viscosity and cardiac output are same)?
1 poise = 1 dyne x sec/cm^2 1 atm = 760 mmHg 0.987 atm - 10^6 dyne/cm^2 1 cm^3 = 1 mL Q = (pi x r^4)/8n x [delta P/L] L = 30 cm, r = 1.25 cm delta P = 120 dynes/cm^2 n = 1.5 centipoise n = 1.5 cp x poise/100 cp = 0.015 poise = 0.015 dyne x sec/cm^2 Q = 256 cm^3/sec Delta P = (Q x 8n x L)/(pi x r^4) = (256 cm^3/sec x 8 x 0.015 dyne x sec/cm^2 x 30 cm)/(pi x (1.2 cm)^4) = 141.6 dyne/cm^2 So radius of vessel decreased by 4%, but pressure change along vessel increased by 18%
The pressure drop over a 3.2 mm length in certain capillary is 20 mmHg. If radius of capillary is 00012 cm, the blood flow will be 1.02 x 10^-4 mL/min. Viscosity of blood at 37 degrees C in patient with normal hematocrit is about 0.04 dyne x sec/cm^2 (0.04 poise). In people with certain types of anemia, the hematocrit can fall to 20%. In these patients, the blood viscosity will decrease to 0.025 poise. For the capillary in question, what will the blood flow rate be in a patient with anemia?
1 poise = 1 dyne x sec/cm^2 1 atm = 760 mmHg 0.987 atm = 10^6 dyne/cm^2 1 cm^3 = 1 mL normal human hematocrit = 0.4 (40%) Q = (pi x r^4)/(8n) x [delta P/L] r = 0.0012 cm, L = 3.2 mm delta P = 20 mmHg x 1 atm/760 mmHg x 10^6 dyne/cm^2/0.987 atm = 26,662 dyne/cm^2 Q = (pi x (0.0012 cm)^4/(8 x 0.025 dyne x sec/cm^2) x [26,662 dyne/cm^2/(3.2 m x 100 cm/1000 mm)) Q = (pi x 2.07 x 10^-12 cm^4)/0.2 dyne x sec/cm^2 x [26,662 dyne/cm^2/0.32 cm] Q = (pi x 5.5 x 10^-8 cm^2)/0.064 sec/cm = 2.7 x 10^-6 cm^3/sec x 60 sec/min = 1.62 x 10^-4 cm^3/min

For hypothetical drug being infused into organ at constant concentration, it was found that the concentration of organ reached equilibrium at approximately 15 min, adn was 20 mcg/mL. What was the distribution half-life of this drug? At one distribution half-life, what was the concentration in organ? For patient with polycythemia, would you expect equilibrium in organ to be reached more quickly or more slowly than a patient with normal hematocrit? Why?
It takes about 5 distribution half-lives to reach equilibrium, so t1/2, d is approximately 3 min. At 3 min, the concentration of drug in organ would be 10 mcg/mL Since the blood flow is decreased in polycythemia, it will take longer for the organ to come to equilibrium

Lady Gaga was recently hospitalized for chest pains following CNN's announcement that Madonna was the most highly paid musician in the world in 2013. While in hospital, Ms. Gaga received 12 hour infusion of Tacky-Card to treat cardiac arrythmia. Her total dose was 1200 mg in 12 hour period. After about an hour into infusion, Gaga began to complain of severe headache & wooziness, which persisted until about an hour after infusion stopped. Blood levels were taken throughout the infusion, and found they exceeded the therapeutic range for drug (1 to 2.5 mg/L). See concentration-time profile on slide 50 Intravascular Admin. Gaga needs to be restarted on Tacky-Card---need to determine new & more appropriate infusion rate such that Gaga will receive daily total dose of 1200 mg, but her steady state concentration is maintained in therapeutic range. What would you suggest, and what would her new concentration-time profile look like?
Original infusion rate = 1200 mg/12 hours = 100 mg/hour. This infusion rate gave a steady state concentration of 3.75 mg/L. The steady state concentration needs to be between 1 and 2.5 mg/L. What is the infusion rate that will generate 1.25 mg/L? 100 mg/hr/3.75 mg/L x 1.25 mg/L = 33.3 mg/hr = new infusion rate Will this work? What is wanted is a 1200 mg daily dose, so at this rate, it will take 36 hours at 33.3 mg/hr to get daily dose. Infusion rate not high enough There are 24 hours in a day, so what infusion rate to get 1200 mg/day? 1200 mg/24 hours = 50 mg/hour Will Gaga be in therapeutic range? 3.75 mg/L/100 mg/hr x 50 mg/hr = 1.87 mg/L So continuous infusion of 50 mg/hr will keep Gaga in therapeutic range. See slide 50 Intravascular Admin

Relative humidity (RH) over a saturated NaCl solution is about 75% at 25 and 40 degrees C. However, RH over saturated potassium nitrate solution is 94% at 25 C and 89% at 40 C. Why does temperature affect RH of 2 salt solutions differently?
Solubility of NaCl does not change with increase in temp Solubility of KNO3 increases with increase in temp Vapor pressure goes down, holds onto KNO3 a little bit more because there is more in solution, lowers escape rate NaCl relative humidity stays at 75% and solubility does not change KNO3 starts out at 94% relative humidity & as temp increases from 25 C to 40 C, RH drops to 89% Gas phase molecule does not know what is in condition Change in relative humidity = what is going on in liquid phase Less water vapor escaping the surface = decrease in RH Saturated solution at 40 C has more KNO3 as temperature increases

We had earlier observed several drugs exist as hydrates. You have to prepare solid dosage form of a drug available as either anhydrate or dihydrate. Anhydrate stable up to 15% humidity. Humidity greater than 15% = stable dihydrate. What will the basis for solution of physical form of API? Relative humidity at manufacturing plant is 40 to 50%
The major consideration will be conditions (esp. water vapor pressure) under which anhydrous or hydrate forms are stable. Since relative humidity during manufacturing and storage is usually higher than 15%, the dihydrate is preferred. If anhydrate was selected, change to dihydrate may occur
Calculate the vapor pressure depression of water in the presence of 0.155 M of NaCl at 20 degrees C?
The vapor pressure of pure water (p1^o) is 17.54 mmHg at 20 degrees C delta(p1) = - p1^o x X2 1) NaCl dissociates completely into Na+ and Cl- ions in water. As a result, for each mole of NaCl, there will be 2 moles of solute constituents. 2) molarity = 0.155 x 2 = 0.310 M 3) X2 = n2/(n1 + n2) approximately = n2/n1 = M2/(density of solute/molecular weight of solute) = (0.31 mol/L)/55.56 mol/L 4) delta(p1) = - p1^o x X2 = (17.54 mmHg) x ((0.31 mol/L)/55.56 mol/L) = 0.098 mmHg

More general rules for reabsorption: Weak bases
Weakly basic non-polar drug with pKa 6 is extensively reabsorbed at all urine pHs (pH = 4.5 to 7.5) because there is a large concentration of unionized drug Renal clearance may vary with urine pH, but will usually be low (especially if bound to proteins) Increased reabsorption, decreased renal clearance Ex: diazepam, propoxyphene
