| Abstract | Classical pharmacokinetic descriptions do not adequately predict the dynamic and complex drug deposition patterns that follow some novel delivery techniques, in part because they do not characterize binding within intact tissues in sufficient detail. In this study, the binding site density of all the potential sites, the tissue-average dissociation constant, and the fractional volume in which heparin can distribute in arterial tissues were measured by incubating tissue samples to equilibrium in solutions containing a wide range of drug concentrations. An "equilibrium distribution curve" was constructed by plotting the concentration of drug in each sample against the concentration in the corresponding bulk phase. The above constants were determined by computationally fitting this curve to a model of drug distribution within tissues. The binding site density was measured to be 4.2 microM, 2.5 microM and 2.2 nM in porcine carotid media with intact and denuded endothelium, and adventitia, respectively. The dissociation constant of heparin in these tissues was estimated to be 6.8 microM, 5.0 microM, and 8.1 nM, respectively. The fractional tissue volume of distribution was 0.61, 0.70, and 0.87, respectively. These values are consistent with known properties of the heparin-arterial tissue interaction. Thus, this technique describes the cumulative effects of binding of a compound to all of its potential binding sites, and will be essential to new detailed descriptions of drug distribution. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
