✦ Synopsis

A problem of substantial delay in reaching the steady state drug concentration in particular organ (compartment) compared to the time of reaching the steady state plasma concentration is considered. It is shown that the ratio of the terminal (V(beta)) and the steady state (V(ss)) volumes of distribution, V(beta)/V(ss), appears to be an indication of possible lag in reaching the steady state in the organ tissue compared to plasma. The estimations of the time of reaching the steady state drug concentration in the organ are suggested. The in vivo based pharmacokinetic model, which uses the experimentally measured drug plasma concentration time course and the appropriate equation for the kinetics of drug distribution into the tissues, is suggested. It is intended to determine the kinetic mechanism of drug distribution into the tissues. The model was applied to interpret the kinetics of drug distribution into the brain. The importance of precise measurement of drug plasma concentration at terminal phase for obtaining accurate values of V(beta) and V(ss) is emphasized: this allows predicting a possible slow plasma-tissue drug transfer and substantial difference in time of reaching the steady state by the body and plasma.

The equation for the calculation of mean residence time of drug in plasma, t(p), is obtained. It is shown that the previously suggested calculation of t(p) considerably overestimates the true value in most cases. It is suggested that due to the possible initial (before establishing the uniform drug

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum V

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum Viride††The Veratrum viride studied was the whole-powdered drug marketed by Irwin, Neisler & Co. under the name, Vertavis. The work reported herein was supported by a grant from this firm. The batch of powder used in these experiments was stated by the manufacturer to have been assayed biologically by the Craw method on Daphnia magna. One Craw unit of the material studied was stated to be 15.6mg. With regard to this assay, Mr. R. O. Craw has been so kind as to allow us to publish a brief explanation: A reference lot of Yerolrum oirid; powder was set-aside as a standard and a 10% w/v aqueous extract was made of this powder. The average median length of life in 50 assays of 1000 daphnia on immersion in the solution was determined to be 2.22 hours. The daphnia were considered dead when the heart was found to be in systolic standstill on microscopic examination. Succeeding lots of powder were assayed and their potency determined by relating the median length of life of daphnia to 2.22 hours, which is one unit. Twenty assays of 10 animals each were used on each lot of powder.‡‡The authors wish to thank Dr. J. F.
