    thank you so much for posting this. i am in crna school, and they lecturer was explaining pKa with the assumption that we had a strong understanding of chem - for me that was 10 plus years ago. you put things into plain english for me. i also appreciate your practice of equanimity as you teach.

      Elvina Handini Can you explain,why most of the drugs are weak acid or weak base?
      In the video I found that it is because small change is required to shift between ionized or non ionized form
      But I don't understand how?

    • @elvinahandini645
      @elvinahandini645 6 років тому +1

      Most drugs are weak electrolytes, may be weak acids or weak bases. In water, this weak electrolyte will be ionized into its ionic form. For weak acids, a high pH (base atmosphere) will increase its ionization and reduce its nonionic form. In contrast to weak bases, a low pH (acidic atmosphere) that will increase its ionization and reduce its nonion. Only nonionic forms have fat solubility, so only the nonionic and ionic forms are in equilibrium, then after the nonion form is absorbed

    • @jalaluddinnasim8328
      @jalaluddinnasim8328 6 років тому

      Elvina Handini,so,they are weak acid or bases,but why are they not strong acid or base?what is the benefit of that?

    • @elvinahandini645
      @elvinahandini645 6 років тому +1

      Drugs that are weak acids will easily penetrate the cell membrane in the acidic atmosphere. Because in an acidic atmosphere, the drug is relatively unionized or the ionic form is small enough to penetrate the cell membrane more easily. strong acids or strong bases will be easily ionized which is cannot be penetrated to the cell membrane.

  • @damemochi3322
    @damemochi3322 7 років тому +3

    Quick question. In the example with aspirin, when it's either in the acidic (HCl) or basic solution (NaOH), does it COMPLETELY dissociate into its respective lipid/water soluble form since aspirin is a weak acid??...or is it more so that in an acidic environment aspirin is MOSTLY lipid soluble while in a basic environment aspirin is MOSTLY water soluble?

    • @Pharmapedia
      @Pharmapedia  7 років тому +1

      GREAT QUESTION! I googled it and came across this.
      www.ausetute.com.au/aspirin.html
      They show complete dissociation. But your question is not only outside of my clinical knowledge base, it is outside of the point I want to make. Most drugs are weak acids or weak bases because change in pH change their water solubility. This is an essential concept for drugs that cannot be mixed in the IV lines. So running a drug through a piggyback running normal saline as the maintenance solution can cause that drug to come out of solution and form particulates if it is incompatible with the pH of the maintenance solution. Major med error issue in some hospitals. Hope this helps. Thanks for the great question!

    • @marceloovg1873
      @marceloovg1873 6 років тому

      Suppose you have a closed system like the beaker shown in this video, with a finite amount of plain water , you measure ph and it comes at 6.5, and then you add say 1 gram of powdered HCL and it completely dissociates , it gets the pH of the water to an acid 4, then you add 500 mg of Aspirin (pKa is 3.49) what will happen is Aspirin will slowly dissociate (slowly because the pka is very near the current total solution ph which is 4) until the pH reaches more/less 3.49, then at this moment roughly 50% - 50% of the aspirin will be in the uncharged : ionic (charged) form and right here it will stop dissociating. how much of the aspirin will dissociate? 90% ? 10% it depends how much quantity of it you added , if 500mg was enough to donate enough aditional protons to the already acid solution then ir will stop right there, if not, it will keep dissociating until it reaches the thermodynamic equilibrium constant and will stop dissociating and keep at 50% - 50% no matter how much more aspirin you add it will not lower the pH more. thats what pka means.
