Abstract:
Absorption distribution and excretion of 63Ni-NiCl2, administered orally to rats were studied by using liquid scintillation counting method. It was observed that the concentration-time curves in blood fitted the two compartment model of pharmacokinetics, Ka=6.18 h(-1), T(1/2)alpha =0.79 h, T(1/2)beta=40.68 h, CL =0.42 mL kg(-1) h(-1), Tmax =0.53 h, Cmax=24,987.75 min(-1) mL(-1), and Vd=0.016 L kg(-1). After rats were treated by 63Ni-NiCl2 for 15 days, in 22 tissues tested, the contents of 63Ni-NiCl2 in hair, hypothalamus, hypophysis, pancreas, small and large intestines were higher, and the residua of 63Ni-NiCl2 was not discovered in liver, kidney and heart. Radioactivity eliminated was 83.27% by urine and feces, 54.86% by urine, 28.41% by feces.

Noncompartmental Analysis: Miscellaneous Pharmacokinetic Parameters
One key aspect of the noncompartmental approach is determining a drug's total clearance. This can be done by dividing the drug dose by the area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity. The area under the concentration-time curve represents the drug's overall...

Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics: Drug Elimination for IV Bolus Injection
Following the administration of a single intravenous (IV) bolus injection, we can determine the concentration of the drug in the plasma at any given time. This calculation is achieved using a specific equation that integrates the values of Vmax and KM.

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...
