Pharmacodynamics

?It is the biological and therapeutic effect of the drug

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


(mechanism of action)

?Most drugs act by binding to regulatory

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

macromolecules, usually neurotransmitters or

hormone receptors or enzymes

?If the drug is working at the receptor level, it can be

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


agonist or antagonist

?If the drug is working at the enzyme level, it can be

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

activator or inhibitor

7

Pharmacokinetics

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


?It is the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and

excretion of the drug

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

?A drug can be delivered to ocular tissue as:

? Locally:

? Eye drop

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? Ointment

? Periocular injection

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Intraocular injection

? Systemically:

? Orally

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? IV

Pharmacokinetics of Ocular Drugs

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


? Classical pharmacokinetic theory based on
systemically administered drugs does not fully
apply to all ophthalmic drugs

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

?Topical route ? most commonly used

9

Absorption

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Rate & extent of absorption of topically instilled drugs depends upon ?
"Drug penetration into the eye is approximately linearly related to its

concentration in the tear film."

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


1. Time the drug remains in the cul-de-sac &

precorneal tear film

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

2. Elimination by nasolacrimal drainage

3. Drug binding to tear proteins

4. Drug metabolism by tear & tissue proteins

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


5. Diffusion across cornea & conjunctiva

10
Distribution

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Transcorneal absorption


Accumulation in aqueous humor

Distribution to intraocular structures

Trabecular meshwork pathway

Distribution to systemic circulation

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

11



Distribution

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


?Melanin binding of certain drugs ?
- Eg:
1. Mydriatic effect of alpha adrenergic agonists
slower in onset - darkly pigmented irides compared to

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

those with lightly pigmented irides

2. Atropine's mydriatic effect ? long lasting in non-albino
rabbits than in albino rabbits

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

3. Accumulation of chloroquine in retinal pigment
epithelium ? Bull's eye maculopathy

12

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Metabolism

?Enzymatic biotransformation of ocular drugs

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

- significant

?Esterases ? particular interest

Eg: Development of prodrugs for enhanced

16
Factors influencing local drug penetration into ocular tissue

?Drug concentration and solubility:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

higher concentration -- better penetration

e.g pilocarpine 1-4% but limited by reflex tearing

?Viscosity: addition of methylcellulose and polyvinyl

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


alcohol increases drug penetration by increasing

contact time with cornea and altering corneal

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

epithelium

?Lipid solubility: higher lipid solubility- more

penetration

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---




17

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Factors influencing local drug penetration into ocular tissue

? Surfactants: preservatives alter cell membrane in cornea

and increase drug permeability e.g. benzylkonium and

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


thiomersal

? pH: the normal tear pH is 7.4

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

If drug pH is much different, this will cause reflex tearing

? Drug tonicity: when an alkaloid drug is put in relatively

alkaloid medium, the proportion of the uncharged form

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


will increase, thus more penetration

? Molecular weight and size

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

18


TOPICAL

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Drop (Gutta)- simplest and most convenient

mainly for day time use

1 drop=50 microlitre

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Conjuctival sac capacity=7-13 micro liter

so, even 1 drop is more than enough

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Method

hold the skin below the lower eye lid


--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


pul it forward slightly

INSTILL 1 drop

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? measures to increase drop absorption:

-wait 5-10 minutes between drops

-compress lacrimal sac

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


-keep lids closed for 5 minutes after instil ation

19

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Ointments

?Increase the contact time of ocular medication to ocular

surface, thus better effect

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


?It has the disadvantage of

blurring vision

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

?The drug has to be highly lipid soluble with some water

solubility to have maximum effect as ointment

20

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Peri-ocular injections
?They reach behind iris-

lens diaphragm better

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

than topical application

?E.g. subconjunctival,

subtenon, peribulbar, or

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


retrobulbar

?This route bypass the

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

conjunctival and corneal

epithelium which is good

for drugs with low lipid

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


solubility (e.g. penicillins)

?Also steroids and local

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

anesthetics can be

applied this way

21

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Periocular
Subconjunctival - To achieve higher concentration

Drugs which cannot penetrate cornea due to large

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


size

Penetrate via sclera

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Subtenon--Ant. Subtenon? diseases anterior to the lens

Post. Subtenon? disease posterior to the lens

Retrobulbar- Optic neuritis

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Papil itis

Posterior uveitis

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Anesthesia

Peribulbar-- anesthesia

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? E.g.

? Intracameral acetylcholine

?These are devices that

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


deliver an adequate

supply of medication at a

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

steady-state level

?E.g.

?Ocusert delivering

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Systemic drugs

?Oral or IV

?Factor influencing systemic drug penetration

into ocular tissue:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


?lipid solubility of the drug: more

penetration with high lipid solubility

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

?Protein binding: more effect with low

protein binding

?Ocular inflammation: more penetration
