Q. 1. Answer the Following… (14)
A) What are different sites of protein binding? Name them.
B) Define the terms – 1. Extraction ratio
2. Intrinsic clearance
C) A drug ‘X’ was administered by IV bolus route. If the dose administered produces
initial concentration of 100mcg/ml, what time will be required for the drug to fall
down to 25mcg/ml? Elimination rate constant is 0.198 mcg/hr.
D) Explain BCS classification of drugs.
E) Give any four inclusion criteria for BE studies.
F) Explain trapezoidal rule of estimation of AUC.
G) What is effect of renal failure on Pharmacokinetics of drugs? Explain how dose or
frequency is calculated in such patients.
Q. 2. A) An antibiotic was administered to a patient orally in a dose of 100mg. the equation
that fits its first order behaviour is, C = 45(e-0.17t – e-1.5t).
Calculate – tmax, Cmax, and t1/2. Concentrations are expressed in the terms of mcg/ml and
rate constant as hr-1. If the drug is 80% bioavailable, calculate its volume of distribution.

elimination rate constant from urinary data? Explain any one method. (07)
Q. 6. A) Discuss Flip- Flop phenomenon with suitable derivation of method of residuals.
B) The loading dose is calculated on the basis of apparent volume of distribution of a
drug, while maintenance dose is determined by its half life – Explain. (07)
