An investigational new drug has a high molecular weight and is extensively bound to albumin. This drug will have a decrease or reduced or small apparent volume of distribution.

 

Plasma-albumin binding reduces the volume distribution while plasma-tissue binding increases it.

The volume of distribution will be small when there is extensive binding to plasma proteins.
