Abstract:
A method affording direct estimation of the drug absorption rate from blood level data using arbitrary time intervals has been derived based on the staircase input principle. In the derivation, the drug was assumed to follow linear kinetics where the plasma concentration of the drug after an impulse input is expressed by a multiexponential function. Drug absorption was assumed to occur at a constant rate during each subsequent sampling interval. The absorption rate profiles obtained by the method using several numerical examples were expressed as a set of rectangular pulses. Divergence in the profiles reflected blood sampling measurement errors rather than errors due to the deconvolution. Smoothing of the rate profiles by calculating the mean of the absorption rates between adjacent time intervals gave realistic results. Absorption rate profiles for theophylline obtained by the method using published data gave information on the initiation and termination of the absorption as well as the extent of absorption from the dosage form.
