Kinetic modelling and residue depletion of drugs in eggs

Abstract:
1. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model was developed for the purpose of describing the relationship between plasma concentration of drugs and their deposition into eggs. 2. By incorporating the physiology of egg formation into the model, the transfer of drugs into the egg albumen and yolk could be described using rate constants. 3. The model was used to describe concentrations in albumen and yolk of sulphanilamide, sulphaquinoxaline and pyrimethamine as a function of time using datasets from the literature. 4. The model could be used as a tool to obtain an insight into those properties of a drug which are responsible for the amount of residue in eggs, and could help in the design of critical studies for determining withdrawal periods for eggs.

Kinetics of Drug Elimination
Drug clearance depends on the rate of drug elimination and its plasma concentration. Another important parameter is the half-life of a drug, which is the time required for its concentration to decrease by half. In most cases, drug clearance follows first-order...

There are three primary types of models: empirical, compartment, and physiological. Empirical models, with minimal assumptions,...
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,...
