The effect of concentration-dependent plasma protein and tissue binding on the time course of drug concentrations (unbound and total) in plasma following rapid injection of a drug whose elimination rate is proportional to free or total drug concentration in plasma was studied by digital computer simulation, assuming instantaneous equilibration of the drug between vascular and nonvascular spaces. The following observations were made when elimination rate was assumed to be a function of free drug concentration: when plasma protein binding is nonlinear and there is no tissue binding or linear tissue binding, log concentration-time plots of free drug are always concave, whereas such plots for total (sum of free and bound) drug can be convex, almost linear, or concave (apparently biexponential) depending on the plasma protein binding parameters relative to the initial concentration; linear tissue binding in association with nonlinear plasma protein binding can reduce the concavity or enhance the convexity of log total concentration-time plots. When drug elimination rate was assumed to be a function of total concentration in plasma, nonlinear plasma protein binding in association with linear or no tissue binding yielded convex log total concentration-time plots, which could sometimes be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics. In general, drug concentration-dependent changes in the apparent volume of distribution resulting from nonlinear plasma protein and (where applicable) tissue binding have a pronounced effect on the slope of log total plasma concentration-time plots. It appears that under clinically realistic conditions an otherwise marked curvature of such plots, due to nonlinear plasma protein binding, may in fact be dampened or overcome by linear tissue binding.
