Henderson-‐Hasselbalch • The difference between the pH of the solu<on and the pKa of the drug is the common logarithm of the ra<o of ionized to unionized forms of the drug.
• For acid drugs Log(Ionized/Unionized) = pH -‐ pKa, or [I]/[U] = 10(pH-‐pKa) Deriva'on:
Ka = [H+][A-‐]/[HA] -‐log Ka = -‐log([H+][A-‐]/[HA]) -‐log Ka = -‐log[H+] -‐ log ([A-‐]/[HA]) pKa = pH -‐ log ([A-‐]/[HA]) log ([A-‐]/[HA]) = pH -‐pKa

Weak acid is mostly neutral in stomach
A drug is a weak acid, has a pKa of 5.5. Taken orally, it is in a stomach solu<on of pH 3.5.
pH – pKa = 3.5 – 5.5 = -‐2 For an acid, we use: ionized/unionized = 10-‐2/1= 1/100
For every 1 molecule of the drug that is ionized, 100 are unionized. This drug in the stomach is highly fat soluble.
Basic Drugs For basic drugs, everything is the
same except that the ra#o reverses:
Log(Unionized/Ionized) = pH – pKa
Examples: Chlorpheniramine, chlorpromazine, ephedrine and phenylephrine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, and methcathinone, amitriptyline, imipramine, lofepramine and clomipramine, nortriptyline, desipramine, and amoxapine.

Isoelectric Point • pI = pH = ½ ( pKaacidic + pKa basic ) • It can be both uncharged and zwicerionic or mul<ply charged
• For absorp<on every charge counts (not the total charge)
• pI is used for isoelectric focusing (Agarose gel electrophoresis)
Zwicerion drugs: Examples Calcula<on of the pH of drug solu<ons
• The drug solu<on itself can develop its own pH
• The pH can be derived from its pKa and concentra<on, C

Ion Trapping of an acidic drug
The same highly fat soluble drug readily crosses the stomach membranes and enters blood plasma, which has a pH of 7.5
pH – pKa = 7.5 – 5.5 = 2 [I]/[U] = 102/1= 100/1 For every 100 molecules of the drug that are ionized, only 1 is unionized. The drug in the blood is not very fat soluble.
This phenomenon is called ion trapping.

Absorp<on is quan<ta<ve too
• Permea<on rate, RP= P Area ΔC • Amount absorbed = RP• Time
– P is membrane par<<on coefficient (related to LogP)
– Area is effec<ve surface area of membrane
– ΔC is concentra<on difference for the neutral form of the drug
• Astomach/Aileum differ 1000 <mes. That means that even if the frac<on of neutral species in stomach is 100 <mes greater, s<ll 10 <mes more compound will be absorbed in the gut. The effect of <me comes on top.

• Ambiguity of chemical representa<on: [DH+][Cl-‐] vs [D][HCL], MolWeight.

Solubility and Permeability
Two opposite requirements: • Solubility is good for charged compounds with mul<ple polar groups (e.g. pep<des)
• Permeability is good for hydrophobic and apolar compounds
Two solu<ons: • Be exactly in the middle with the same chemical structure (minority)
• Be able to change via enzyma<c ac<va<on (prodrug) or adopt alterna<ve charged forms
Solubility, LogP, and LogD
• Not all uncharged compounds are insoluble
• Not all polar or charged compounds can not permeate a membrane
• It is a quan#ta#ve macer • Three measurable quan<<es are used to characterize a drug substance: LogSw, LogP and LogD
water
membrane
Drug Solubility: defini<on • Water (aqueous) solubility (SW) is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in water. SW depends on P,T.
• Sw is in moles/L (M). Watch for mg/L or mg/dL !
• LogSw (or LogS ) = Log(Sw)
Sucrose
Succinylcholine >10M! But not fat soluble Mitotane: 0.1 mg/L
Solubility and Gibbs energy
• Solubility is defined by a difference between the free energy in the crystal form (primarily enthalpy) and the dissolved form (solva<on, different entropy terms)
• The entropy-‐of-‐mixing contribu<on to dissolu<on (and rigid body rota<on/transla<on) does not depend on chemical type and interac<ons. The main difference: – the number of freed rotatable bonds, hydrophobic surface, (ΔS);
– intermolecular interac<ons in the crystal vs water, ΔH

µ 0aq + RT lnSW = µ 0crystal
Polymorphism • Compounds can crystallize as different polymorphs (different molecular conforma<on and packing, cell)
• Polymorphs can have drama<cally different solubility, mel<ng point, <me of dissolu<on, habits

Crystal habits of drugs • The same symmetry group may lead to
different size and shape of a crystal • Crystal habits (and size) may influence
– injec<on (plates: easy, needles: difficult), – tablexng (easy for compression) – rate of dissolu<on
• Habits: – Acicular (needle-‐like) – Prisma<c, pyramidal, tabular, equant,
columnar an lamellar types • Habit determinants:
– Solvent – Temperature – Concentra<on of impuri<es

Snow flakes & drug crystals
• Snow flakes are a very well known example, where subtle differences in crystal growth condi<ons result in different geometries.
Par<cle size and the rate of dissolu<on
• Consider the surface of the fixed amount of compound as the func<on of linear micro-‐crystal size, d, and the total volume V
• For non-‐cubic shapes, calculate the Area as a func<on of total volume and shape.

Log D and Membrane permea<on
• To get inside the cell a drug need to get inside the membrane first
• Par##oning between water and a membrane is characterized by LogP for hard drugs and LogD for ionizable drugs
