## Section

3 approaches to modeling (1)(1) Compartment analysis
3 approaches to modeling (2)(2) Non Compartment or Statistical moment analysis
3 approaches to modeling (3)(3) Physiologically based analysis

T or F? Compartment analysis views body as 1 or more compartments which are interconnectedTrue, each compartment behaves the same way w/ regards to a given drug
T or F? Compartment represents real anatomical spacesFalse, In compartment, anatomical space or tissues that behaves the same way are lump together.
T or F? Compartment Analysis ff the 1st order kineticsTrue. As the drug dose increases, so also the The rate of elimination of drug is increased

What are the assumptions of 1 compartment model? (1)(1) Body is a single (black box), well-mixed container and drug in the body is in rapid equilibration with drug in tissue
What are the assumptions of 1 compartment model? (2)(2) Drug is instantaneously distributed throughout the body
What are the assumptions of 1 compartment model? (3)(3) 1st Order elimination - rate of change of drug concentration (dC/dt) is proportional to drug concentration (C)

Formula for One Compartment model for IV bolusdX/dt = -kX. If dose (x) is increased, the K is decreased because K is negative slope.
In One Compartment model, if the amount of drug or the dose of drug is doubled, the rate of change of X with time (dX/dt) is also doubled. True or False?True
Phentermine k = 0.028/hr. If Phentermine dose is doubled to 60 mg/day, you'd expect the elimination rate constant (k) to .... (a) double (b) decrease (c) stay the sameAns is DECREASE. Since K = slope, does the slope increase or decrease when dose is doubled?. Remember in Compartment model, the equation is dX/dt = -kX where the negative is an indication of loss of drug.
