Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- relate the concepts of clearance and volume of distribution to physiological processes that influence the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs and chemicals.
- calculate essential pharmacokinetic parameters, such as the rate and extent of absorption, clearance, volume of distribution and half-life from simple concentration-time data sets.
- apply fundamental pharmacokinetic principles to the evaluation of ADMET studies that are encountered in the pre-clinical and clinical phases of drug development.
