1. Chapter 5
Dosage Form Design:
Biopharmaceutical and
Pharmacokinetic
Considerations
2. 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.
3. 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 drug’s 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
4. 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.
5. 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)
6. 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
7. 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
8. 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
FDA’s CGMP regulations as required for pioneer
products.

13. Examples Of Drugs That Undergo Significant Liver Metabolism and
Exhibit Low Bioavailability when Administered by First-pass Routes
Drug Class Examples
Analgesics Aspirin, meperidine, Pentazocine
Propoxyphene
Antianginal Nitroglycerin
Antiarrhythmics Lidocaine
Beta-adrenergic Labetolol, Metoprolol, Propranolol
blockers
Calcium channel Verapamil
blockers
Sympathomimetic Isoproterenol
amines
Tricyclic Desipramine, Imipramine,
antidepressants Nortriptyline
14. Several Examples of Biotransformations
occurring within the body are as follows:
1. Acetaminophen Conjugation Acetaminophen glucuronide
(active) (inactive)
2. Amoxapine Oxidation 8-hydroxy-amoxaphine
(active) (inactive)
3. Procainamide Hydrolysis p-Aminobenzoic acid
(active) (inactive)
4. Nitroglycerin reduction 1-2 and 1-3 dinitroglycerol
(active) (inactive)
15. Some compound under full, partial no
biotransformation
1. Lisinopril (zestril) - does not go metabolism,
excreted unchanged
2. Verapamil (Calan) - 12 metanolites, the most
prevalent is norverapamil
3. Diltiazem (Cardizem) - partially metabolized
to desacetyldiltiazem
