Dear Hiren!

❝ Ok, I need little bit further clarification and for that please concider these properties of a drug (BE study...NCA used)


❝ 1. Drug is a pure solution and nothing like precipitation and all. I mean pure solution form


The fact that your drug is completely in solution doesn’t prevent precipitation in the body. Blood ≠ Ringer’s solution. Apart from a small increase after end of infusion due to analytical variability sometimes you see an increase which may last for more than an hour – that’s an indication of precipitation. You have to inspect the individual profiles and should not assume “this is an infusion, therefore Cmax/tmax = end of infusion”.

❝ 2. Instantaneous distribution happens in your central compartment.

❝ 3. No compartmental specific distribution or in and out from any compartment


OK

❝ So if 1, 2 and 3 are correct. Cant we concider that elimination phase is only working phase as soon as infusion is over?


Still you have to check #1. So my answer is only a “conditional yes”. ;-)

❝ And if yes since you are knowing from what time the elimination phase has started it would be a bias if you are selecting 3 or 4 points from bottom of the curve to find Kel irrespective you are going for R2 or mannual.


Do we really know that? Check the profiles.

❝ One has to select all the time point in the elimination phase characterization.


Well – at least for i.v. as many as possible since analytical error is inverse proportional to concentration.

❝ In extra-vascular since we are unable to differentiate from where the elimination starts we start from bottom of curve and go up.


Yep.
