[Application of multi-lines fitting technic for ethenzamide elimination with capacity-limited process in the rabbit
Abstract:
Intravenous and oral administrations of ethenzamide (EZ) were carried out in the rabbit, and elimination process pharmokinetically discussed. When the drug dose increased, plasma clearance and extent of bioavailability were reduced and plasma peak times delayed after oral dose of EZ. Michaelis-Menten type elimination parameters were estimated from the plasma concentration-time profiles after intravenous dosing of EZ. The first-order absorption rate constant (ka), hepatic available fraction (FH) and approximate elimination rate constant (K) for hepatic first-pass metabolism of EZ were estimated using computer multi-lines fitting technique by iterative nonlinear least squares regression program, MULTI (RUNGE).

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.

Determination of Michaelis Constant and Maximum Elimination Rate
These parameters can be estimated by analyzing plasma concentration data post-drug administration. A notable example of this application is phenytoin, a drug with capacity-limited kinetics. It's recommended that phenytoin should be administered at two...

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,...
