Now calculate Volume.Since it was an IV dose,
and appears to be a 1 compartment model,we will assume instantaneous distribution
and so we will back-extrapolate to t=0to determine the initial concentration.

1 Compartment IV Analysis500 mg of tobramycin is administered by iv bolus to Mr BB, a 68 yr old male who weighs 75 kg. Blood samples were drawn following the dose and the plasma concentration determined. It is known that tobramycin is excreted primarily unchanged in the urine. The following plasma concentrations were observed.
1. What model best describes this profile?2. Calculate AUC, K, Vd, T½ and Cl.3. Write an equation the will calculate
concentrations at anytime after the 1st dose.4. How much is in the body at time zero?5. How much is in the body at 12 hours?6. Where did the tobramycin go?7. How much is in the urine at 12 hrs?8. What is the renal clearance of tobramycin?9. Is tobra a high or low extraction drug?
Now calculate AUC.Since it was an IV dose, we must realise
that the data set starting at 1 hour is missing concentration data from 0 to 1 hour.
Therefore, AUC by trapezoidal rule must use a time zero concentration of 26.38 mg/L.
Calculation of AUCCalculation of AUC Trapezoidal RuleAUC =((C0+C1)/2)*(t1-t0)
The value of 9.75 for the AUC is based on a no concentration
or a concentration of 0.00 at time zero.
Was the Concentration zero? Or should we determine
the time zero concentration
Trapezoidal Rule (Excel)AUC = ((B4+B5)/2)*(A5-A4)The value of 9.75 in this cell
is based on a no concentration or a concentration of 0.00
at time zero in cell B4.
Calculation of AUCCalculation of AUC Trapezoidal RuleIf the initial concentration of
26.38 is used in the calculation of AUC from time 0 to 1 hr, a
more appropriate AUC of 22.94 mg*hr/L is estimated.AUC0-12h is 88.69 mg*hr/L.
= 88.69
You must also calculate AUC
from 12 hr to . This can onlybe done using
the PCK method:[ ]LP/K.
Calculation of AUCCalculation of AUC AUC from 12hr to Recall that K was calculated
as 0.3015 hr-1 using concentrations at 1 hr and 12 hrs.Using this K value, AUC12- is:
[ ]LP/K. = 0.7/0.3015 = 2.32 mg*hr/L.
= 88.69
The sum of the AUC (0-12hr)
and AUC (12hr-).
is:AUC (0-) = 88.69 + 2.32
= 91.01 mg*hr/L.
Calculation of AUCCalculation of AUC Other Estimates of AUC (0-)
Several AUC (0-) estimates are possible based on the
estimate of K and the method used.
1. Kinetic method Using the determined back-extrapolated t=0
concentration of 26 .38 mg/L AUC0- can also be estimated as:
[ ]t=0/K. = 26.38/0.3015 = 87.496 mg*hr/L.
Calculation of AUCCalculation of AUC Other Estimates of AUC (0-)
Several AUC (0-) estimates are possible based on the
estimate of K and the method used.
2. Estimates of K In the Excel sheet using the
last 2 … or last 3 …or last 4…K values can be estimated
ranging from of 0.30809 hr-1
0.30245 hr-1
0.30185hr-1
and 0.301806 hr-1
(these are effectively the same~ differ by less than 0.007 hr-1)
These variations will produce small differences in AUC
Calculation of AUCCalculation of AUC Other Estimates of AUCExcel sheet shows some of the possible estimates
of K and using 0.0318 hr-1 and calculates AUC12h-
As 2.32 mg*hr/L.
Also shown are
Calculation of AUCCalculation of AUCOther Estimates of AUCExcel sheet shows some of the possible estimates
of K and using 0.0318 hr-1 and calculates AUC12h-
As 2.32 mg*hr/L.
Also shown are two estimates of AUC0-:
1. Based on kinetic method from the t=0
determined concentration and
2. Based on sum of Trap Rule AUC
& kinetic method from LP
Calculation of AUCCalculation of AUC Other Estimates of AUC
AUC0- is 91.01 mg*hr/L calculated by trapezoidal rule.
But if we use the PCK method from time zero (26.38 mg/L)
we would calculate AUC0- as 87.41 mg*hr/L.
Which is more correct?

Now calculate Clearance.
This can be completed by at least 2 methods:
1. Dose / AUC2. K x Vd
Calculation of ClearanceCalculation of Clearance Estimates of ClearanceAlthough a variety of estimates
of K have been calculated all are very close (~0.3018 hr-1)Using the volume calculated from the t=0 concentration determined by back-extrap using this K value (Excel Sheet)
Cl = K x Vd = 0.3018 x 18.95 L
= 5.720 L/hr
Calculation of ClearanceCalculation of Clearance Estimates of ClearanceAlthough a variety of estimates
of K have been calculated all are very close (~0.3018 hr-1)
Cl = 5.720 L/hr (K x V)
When we use AUC calculatedby the PCK method, clearanceestimate is identical to estimate
determined by K*Vd.
Clearance is 5.72 L/hr and
AUC0- of 87.41 mg*hr/L.is the more correct estimate.

1. What model best describes this profile?2. Calculate AUC, K, Vd, T½ and Cl.3. Write an equation that will calculate
concentrations at anytime after the 1st dose.4. How much is in the body at time zero?5. How much is in the body at 12 hours?6. Where did the tobramycin go?7. How much is in the urine at 12 hrs?8. What is the renal clearance of tobramycin?9. Is tobra a high or low extraction drug?
Calculation of ClearanceCalculation of Clearance Since renal elimination appearsto be the only way tobramycin
is cleared from the body,
Total Body Clearance should equal renal clearance…?
Clearance is 5.7 L/hr
At constant concentration, clearancecan be estimated from blood flow
and the difference betweenarterial and venous concentrations.
ClH = Q [ (Ca – Cv) / Ca ]
But in our situation the concentration changing.In the first hour concentration started at
26.38 mg/L and declined to 19.51 mg/L and we collected 130.26 mg of tobramycin in the urine.
In the second hour concentration started at 19.51 mg/L and declined to 14.43 mg/L
and we collected 96.33 mg of tobramycin in the urine.
EquationsConc = Dose / VV = Dose/Conc
Cl = Q x ERER = Cl / Q

As the concentration declines we recover less in the urine and because urinary excretion is
the only method of elimination, drug excretion into the urine is tied to elimination from the body.
Rate of appearance of drug in the urine is proportional to the amount in the bodyTherefore:
Where X is the amount of drug in the body at time t and Xu is the amount of drug
eliminated in the urine to time t.
EquationsConc = Dose / VV = Dose/Conc
Cl = Q x ERER = Cl / Q

dXu
dt--- = ke X
Since X, the amount drug in the bodyat time t changes according to
X = X0 e (-Kt)
or as we have previous writtenAmtt = Dose e (-Kt)
Then …
and a semi-log plot of excretion rate of drug in the urine vs. time
should be linear and have a slope of –K/2.303.
This is the same slope as for a plasma concentration curve.

“Amount Lost”both total and duringeach 1 hour interval.
An excretion rateper hour(mg/hr)
is then calculated.

Plots of excretion rate (mg/hr) vs. time and concentration vs. time are parallel. Slope of the log of excretion rate
vs. time is a function of the overall elimination rate (K), NOT the urinary excretion rate constant – ke.
Renal Clearance of tobramycinRenal Clearance of tobramycin
The urinary excretion rates that were calculated are not instantaneous rates,
Rather, they are average ratesdetermined over an interval.
The average excretionrate closely approximates the
instantaneous rate seen at the mid-point of the urine collection interval.
Therefore, urinary excretion rates should be plotted at the midpoints
of the urine collection period.

Just as the plasma concentration-time profile can be characterized by both an
elimination rate constant (K) and a clearance term (ClT or TBC) , so can
urinary excretion data: renal excretion rate constant (ke) and a renal clearance term (ClR).
We have seen that the rate at which drug is cleared into the urine is proportional to the plasma concentration at the mid point
of the urine collection interval.

In practice renal clearance is estimated by dividing the urinary excretion rate by the
plasma concentration at the mid point of the urinary collection interval.

Rearrangement yields:(Xu / t ) = ClR x CMID
which indicates that ClR will be the slope of a straight-line relationship between
the amount recovered in the urine during an interval and the
midpoint plasma concentration.
