Ion Trapping: Anesthesia Correlation: Placental transfer of basic drugs Placental transfer of basic drugs from mother to fetus: local anesthetics fetal pH is lower than maternal pH (what does this mean?) lipid-soluble, nonionized local anesthetic crosses the placenta converted to poorly lipid-soluble ionized drug
gradient is maintained for continual transfer of local anesthetic from maternal circulation to fetal circulation in fetal distress, acidosis contributes to local anesthetic accumulation
ION TRAPPING (a form of sequestration) Ion Trapping Occurs when a drug is ionized across a cell membrane and the pH of the transmembrane medium favors retaining the ionized form of the molecule: a gradient is established The ion is said to be trapped or enters a sink

WHAT ARE THE DETERMINANTS OF WHERE DRUGS GO? Determinants of Drug Distribution:
Organ blood flow Barriers to drug diffusion Adipose tissue Tissue protein binding Plasma protein binding Drug transport Ion trapping
Organs with high blood flow will experience larger initial effects. Many sedative/hypnotics, such as benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam [Valium]) will produce initial, but short-lived, profound CNS effects following IV administration.
In capillaries with tight junctions, drug molecules must diffuse across (transcellular), rather than around (paracellular) the endothelial cells. Only lipophilic drugs rapidly diffuse across capillary beds with tight junctions, whereas hydrophilic drugs are mostly excluded.
WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF BARRIERS TO DRUG DIFFUSION ON DRUG DISTRIBUTION? The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a special case:
Capillaries in brain have tight junctions that contribute to the BBB. Capillaries in brain are wrapped by pericapillary glial cells that further contribute to the BBB. The endothelial cells in brain capillaries have P-glycoprotein that pumps drugs out of endothelial cells, and this also contributes to the BBB.
WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF BARRIERS TO DRUG DIFFUSION ON DRUG DISTRIBUTION? The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a special case:
In general, the BBB restricts the movement of hydrophilic drugs into brain; however, the BBB is broken by ischemia and inflammation. The BBB can be exploited to develop drugs with reduced CNS adverse effects. HOW?
QUIZ TIME Describe how knowledge of factors affecting entry of drugs into the brain can be used to design drugs that can concentrate in the brain. Based on the above information, how will you design a drug that will have primarily peripheral effect? SUBMIT YOUR ANSWERS NEXT WEEK TUESDAY FOR GRADING
Binding of drugs by tissue may necessitate a larger initial bolus of drug to achieve the desired effect. Large depots of drug in tissue may necessitate a longer period of time for drug to be removed from the body.
Some drugs are highly bound (> 90%) to plasma proteins. Acid drugs bind to albumin and basic drugs bind to alpha1-acid glycoprotein. Binding of drugs by plasma proteins limits the distribution of drugs out of the vascular compartment, necessitating more drug initially to achieve the desired effect.
Binding of drugs may limit the delivery of drugs to drug elimination mechanisms (for example excretion by the kidney or metabolism by the liver), and this increases the time required for the drug to be removed from the body.
Displacement of a highly plasma-protein bound drug by another drug may lead to drug-drug interactions because of a rapid increase in the availability of free (unbound) drug. Displacement of unconjugated bilirubin from albumin by drugs may precipitate bilirubin encephalopathy in newborns.
