|Prompt=A researcher is assessing in an experiment using mice the difference between the intravenous (i.v.) and the oral forms of metoprolol.  He administers both drugs into mice and notes the following plasma concentrations of both medications in the graph shown below. Which of the following equations best corresponds to the bioavailability (F) of the metoprolol in the oral form?
|Prompt=A researcher, assessing difference between the intravenous (IV) and the oral forms of metoprolol, administers 20 mg of the IV formulation of metoprolol to one group of mice and 40 mg of the PO formulation to another group. He then records the plasma concentrations every 5 minutes until the drug levels become undetectable. He records an AUC for the IV form of 97.8 mg.hr/L and an AUC of 65.3 mg.hr/L for the PO form. What is the bioavailability of the oral form of metoprolol?
 
[[Image:WBR Bioavailability.png]]
|Explanation=[[Bioavailability]] (F) is defined as the proportion of the total area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC).  The relative bioavailability of the oral form of a drug can be calculated using the following equation: F = (AUCoral / AUCi.v.) x  (Dosei.v./Doseoral)
 
Educational Objective:
Bioavailability = F = (AUCoral / AUCi.v.) x  (Dosei.v./Doseoral)


|AnswerA=F = (AUCoral / AUCi.v.) x (Dosei.v./Doseoral)
|Explanation=Bioavailability is the proportion of a drug administered via any route that reaches the systemic circulation. In pharmacokinetic terms, [[bioavailability]] (F) is defined as the relative area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of a formulation compared to the IV formulation.  In the IV form, all drugs have a bioavailability of 100% as all the drug administered immediately reaches the systemic circulation. The absolute [[bioavailability]] of the oral form of a drug can be calculated using the following equation: F = (AUC<sub>PO</sub> x Dose<sub>IV</sub>) / (AUC<sub>IV</sub> x Dose<sub>PO</sub>). For any given formulation, determining the absolute bioavailability requires comparison to the IV form of the drug using the same equation. To determine relative bioavailability and compare 2 non-intravenous formulations, the following equation is used: F = (AUC<sub>A</sub> x Dose<sub>B</sub>) / (AUC<sub>B</sub> x Dose<sub>A</sub>).
|AnswerAExp=Bioavailability can be calculated using the equation: F = (AUCoral / AUCi.v.) x (Dosei.v./Doseoral)
|AnswerA=33.38%
|AnswerB=(AUCoral / Doseoral ) x (AUCi.v. x  Dosei.v.)
|AnswerAExp=This is the absolute bioavailability of metoprolol based on this experiment.
|AnswerBExp=The equation is not correct to calculate the bioavailability.
|AnswerB=52.55%
|AnswerC=(AUCi.v. / AUCoral) x (Doseoral x Dosei.v.)
|AnswerBExp=This is not the absolute bioavailability of metoprolol.
|AnswerCExp=The equation is not correct to calculate the bioavailability.
|AnswerC=66.77%
|AnswerD=(Doseoral x AUCoral) x (Dosei.v. x AUCi.v.)
|AnswerCExp=This is not the absolute bioavailability of metoprolol.
|AnswerDExp=The equation is not correct to calculate the bioavailability.
|AnswerD=74.88%
|AnswerE=(AUCoral + Doseoral) / (AUCi.v. + Dosei.v.)
|AnswerDExp=This is not the absolute bioavailability of metoprolol.
|AnswerEExp=The equation is not correct to calculate the bioavailability.
|AnswerE=89.90%
|AnswerEExp=This is not the absolute bioavailability of metoprolol.

Explanation [[Explanation::Bioavailability is the proportion of a drug administered via any route that reaches the systemic circulation. In pharmacokinetic terms, bioavailability (F) is defined as the relative area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of a formulation compared to the IV formulation. In the IV form, all drugs have a bioavailability of 100% as all the drug administered immediately reaches the systemic circulation. The absolute bioavailability of the oral form of a drug can be calculated using the following equation: F = (AUCPO x DoseIV) / (AUCIV x DosePO). For any given formulation, determining the absolute bioavailability requires comparison to the IV form of the drug using the same equation. To determine relative bioavailability and compare 2 non-intravenous formulations, the following equation is used: F = (AUCA x DoseB) / (AUCB x DoseA).

Educational Objective: The absolute bioavailability of the oral form of a drug can be calculated using the following equation: F = (AUCPO x DoseIV) / (AUCIV x DosePO).
