Factors affecting distribution<br />

1. Blood flow<br />

Drugs are readily distributed to highly perfused tissue<br />

like brain, liver, and kidneys<br />

2. Permeability limitations<br />

Many drugs do not readily enter the brain due to the<br />

blood brain barrier<br />

3. Protein binding<br />

Acidic drugs are bound to the most abundant plasma<br />

protein (albumin); while basic drugs bind to -1-<br />

acid glycoprotein.<br />
