A nоvel оrаl fоrmulаtion of Rаpamycin was administered to a renal transplant patient with multiple comorbid conditions. To characterize the pharmacokinetic properties of Rapamycin, the patient received a single oral dose of 2 mg. The plasma concentration–time data obtained following this oral administration are presented below: Time (hr) Concentration (μg/L) 0.5 2.56 1 3.71 12 1.54 24 0.411 Assume that prednisolone exhibits 1-compartment kinetics with 1st order absorption and elimination, and ka >>k. (14 pts. total) Derive the equation C=f(t) to characterize the observed concentration–time data. (8 pts.) Calculate the apparent volume of distribution (V/F). (3 pts.) If the apparent clearance (CL/F) of rapamycin decreases by 30% due to progressive renal function decline in this patient, determine the resulting tmax, assuming that the bioavailability (F) and administered dose (D) remain unchanged. (3 pts.)
