Drug Pharmacokinetics — ADME Diagram

Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion summarised with a body schematic and a plasma curve.

Prompt

Create a pharmacokinetics ADME diagram for a small-molecule drug.

Layout:
- Center: simplified human body silhouette with labeled organs: gut, blood, liver, kidney, target tissue.
- Four major process boxes around the body: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion.
- Show drug movement from oral dose to gut absorption, plasma circulation, liver metabolism, target tissue exposure, and renal / biliary excretion.
- Add an inset plasma concentration-time curve with Cmax, Tmax, AUC, and half-life labels.
- Include simple molecule icons for parent drug and metabolite.

Style:
- Medical / pharmacology infographic on white background.
- Navy labels, teal distribution arrows, amber metabolism arrows, coral excretion arrows.
- Use concise labels, clear flow direction, and professional publication-ready typography.
- Suitable for drug-development papers and educational materials.

Use in Generator

When to use

For pharmacology, medicinal chemistry and clinical-PK figures.

Variations

IV bolus vs oral comparison

Replace the single plasma curve with two curves overlaid: IV bolus (instantaneous C_max, no absorption phase) vs oral (slower rise, lower C_max). Annotate bioavailability F.

Tips

Pair the body schematic with a PK curve. ADME without a curve is incomplete.
Annotate AUC, C_max and t_1/2 directly on the curve, not in a separate caption.
Use distinct routes (urinary vs biliary) for excretion. Single-arrow excretion is too coarse.

FAQ

How do I add drug-drug interactions?

Add a co-administered drug icon entering at Stage 3 (Metabolism) and an annotation showing CYP3A4 inhibition slowing metabolism, increasing AUC of the primary drug.
