What will be the fraction of unbound drug if the unbound drug concentration is 0.99 g/ml and total plasma concentration is 160 g/ml?(a) 0.006(b) 1.61(c) 0.618(d) 0.010The question was posed to me during an online interview.I need to ask this question from Drugs Excretion in section Prodrugs & Excretion of Drugs of Drug Biotechnology

Answer»

Correct option is (c) 0.618

Best explanation: The fraction of drug BOUND to PLASMA proteins can be calculated by the equation FU = Cu/C. Here fu is fraction of UNBOUND drug and Cu is the concentration of unbound drug in plasma and C is the total plasma concentration of the drug. Therefore 99/160=0.618.
