Unit Summary

These B.Pharmacy 6th Semester Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics notes are prepared to provide a strong foundation in drug absorption and disposition principles. Unit I explains biopharmaceutics, mechanisms of drug absorption through GIT and non-oral routes, drug distribution, protein binding, volume of distribution, and their clinical significance.

Unit II focuses on drug elimination, metabolism pathways, renal and non-renal excretion, bioavailability, bioequivalence, in-vitro dissolution models, IVIVC, and strategies to enhance bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Unit III covers pharmacokinetics concepts including compartment and non-compartment models, one-compartment models for IV bolus, infusion, and extravascular dosing, along with key pharmacokinetic parameters. Unit IV explains two-compartment models, multiple dosing, steady-state levels, and dose calculations. Unit V introduces nonlinear pharmacokinetics and Michaelis–Menten kinetics. These notes are ideal for revision, numericals, and exam success.
