Drug

D0072 | Ketamine

Molecular Formula C13H16ClNO
Molecular Weight 237.72
Structure
State solid
Clearance The clearance rate of ketamine is high and of around 95 L/h/70kg.[A31885]
Volume of distribution The apparent volume of distribution of the central compartment and at steady-state are 371.3 ml/kg and 4060.3 ml/kg, respectively.[A31889]
Route of elimination Pharmacokinetic studies have resulted in the recovery of 85-95% of the administered dose in urine mainly in the form of metabolites. Some other routes of elimination of ketamine are bile and feces. When administered intravenously the resultant recovery is distributed by 91% of the administered dose in urine and 3% in feces.[L1336]
Protein binding The plasma protein binding of ketamine accounts for 53.5% of the administered dose.[A31887]
Half life The reported half-life in preclinical studies for ketamine is 186 min.[A31883]
Absorption Ketamine absorption is very rapid and the bioavailability is around 93%. After the first pass metabolism, only 17% of the administered dose is absorbed.[A31883] It distributes very rapidly and presents a distribution half-life of 1.95 min.[A31887] The Cmax levels at peak reach 0.75 mcg/ml in plasma and 0.2 mcg/ml in cerebrospinal fluid.[L1336]
