Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question 8:**
According to this direct linear plot, what is the
a. Vmax
b. Km
c. Daily Dose required to achieve a Cpss of 20 mg/L
**Description of the Graph:**
The graph illustrates a direct linear plot used for determining pharmacokinetic parameters.
- **Axes:**
- The y-axis represents the Dose, Vm (mg/day), ranging from 0 to 800.
- The x-axis represents -Cp(average) and Km (mg/L), ranging from -30 to 20.
- **Lines:**
- The plot contains three lines: a blue line, a green line, and a red line, each with a different slope.
- **Parameters:**
- **Vmax (Vm):** Indicated by a horizontal arrow pointing to approximately 400 mg/day on the y-axis.
- **Km:** Indicated by a vertical arrow at around 10 mg/L on the x-axis.
**Objective:**
The graph is utilized to find:
- The maximum rate of reaction (Vmax).
- The Michaelis constant (Km).
- The daily dose required to reach a steady-state concentration (Cpss) of 20 mg/L, which involves locating the point where the desired Cpss intersects with the appropriate line on the graph.
