Difference between Pharmacokinetics and Prodrug

Pharmacokinetics vs. Prodrug

Pharmacokinetics (from Ancient Greek pharmakon "drug" and kinetikos "moving, putting in motion"; see chemical kinetics), sometimes abbreviated as PK, is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to determining the fate of substances administered to a living organism. A prodrug is a medication or compound that, after administration, is metabolized (i.e., converted within the body) into a pharmacologically active drug.

Similarities between Pharmacokinetics and Prodrug

Pharmacokinetics and Prodrug have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): ADME, Bioavailability, Blood, Carbamazepine, Enzyme, Fluorouracil, International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Medication, Primidone, Tenofovir disoproxil.

ADME

ADME is an abbreviation in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology for "absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion", and describes the disposition of a pharmaceutical compound within an organism.

Bioavailability

In pharmacology, bioavailability (BA or F) is a subcategory of absorption and is the fraction of an administered dose of unchanged drug that reaches the systemic circulation, one of the principal pharmacokinetic properties of drugs.
