How does ionization affect resorption/excretion?

How do you increase excretion for an acid?
only ionized molecules are excreted. Non ionized molecules will diffuse.
You make the urine more basic (basic environment with ionize the molecule and prevent diffusion/resorption)
What is the bioavailability of a drug administered IV?

If a drugs has 25% oral bioavailability, how much of it needs to be taken in order to reach 100mg IV equivalence?
100%
400mg

x = 100/.25
what is Vd?

How is it calculated?
Volume of distribution. Tells you how much space the drug is occupying (and by extension, where the drug is located).
Vd = drug amount/[drug]

mg/1 * volume/mg = volume
What organ determines clearance?

How is it calculated?
how quickly the kidney can get rid of the drug
CL = rate of drug elimination/[plasma drug]
What is a loading dose?

How is it calculated?
a large dose given at the beginning of a treatment in order to increase plasma drug concentrations to a therapeutic level quickly
LD = Cp * Vd

target concentration times the amount of space it's going to occupy
what are standard fluid compartment levels?
plasma = 3L
Extracellular = 12L (includes plasma)
Total = 41L
What is steady state concentration?

How does it relate to dose and clearance?
the concentration the drug remains at after a few days of taking it
it is proportional to dose and inversely proportional to clearance (the higher the clearance, the lower the Css will be, the higher the dose, the higher the Css will be)
What is phase I metabolism? What is phase II metabolism?

How is this different than first pass metabolism?
Phase 1 = first modification, drug becomes more water soluble. Prodrugs require this step to become active (eg - codein).
Phase 2 = second and final modification. Drug becomes polar and inactivated in preparation for excretion.
First pass metabolism refers to the amount of drug lost in the initial metabolism of the drug (usually in the liver via P450) even before reaching the general circulation. This is Phase 1 metabolism.
Major metabolism inducers (many enzymes)

What are the effects of inducers?
rifampin, rifabutin
barbiturates
phenytoin
carbamazepine
glucocorticoids
St. John's worth
the enzyme's activity increases (can be good or bad, lead to more prodrug being converted quicker leading to an increase in bioavailability or lead to more drug being inactivated quicker leading to a decrease in bioavailability)
CYP1A2 inducers
smoking (benz(a)pyrene)
charcoal broiled foods
cruciferous vegetables
dioxine
Major enzyme inhibitors

What are the effects of inhibitors?
cimetidine
amiodarone
paroxetine
fluoxetine
enzyme activity is inhibited. Drugs like codein become ineffective because of this.
CYP3A4 inhibitors
ketoconazole
itraconazole
HIV protease inhibitors (ritonavir)
erythromycin
clarithromycin
diltiazem
nicardipine
verapamil
grapefruit juice
CYP2D6 inhibitors

What important drug is converted into its active form via this enzyme?
quinidine
SSRIs
codein
What is efficacy?

What is potency?
refers to the maximal effect a drug can have (related to Tmax)
relates a drugs concentration level to its effect. A lower concentration for an equal effect makes it more potent (related to Km.
What does a competitive antagonist do to a drug's effect?

What does it look like on a graph?
affects Km (potentcy) but has no affect on the Tmax (efficacy).

It's basically like you're diluting the drug so you just need more of it.
the line gets shifted over to the right
What does a non-competitive antagonist do to a drug's effect?

What does it look like on a graph?
affects the Tmax but not the Km.

it's like you're taking away enzymes. Potency of the drug stays the same but the drug can't exhibit as strong of a reaction because the enzymes become saturated sooner (less efficacy).
the line gets shorter
What is the effect of a partial agonist?
it is not as effective as the full agonists so the Vmax is decreased. Km can be either more or less.
Physiologic antagonism
a different mechanism causes a counter effect (eg - stimulation of the SNS system in the lungs to dilate counteract the constrictive effects of the PNS)
Therapeutic index
the bigger the value the safer it is
What are the phases of drug development?
Phase 1 = small test size, is it safe?
Phase 2 = larger, is it effective?
Phase 3 = very large, is it effective even in a double blind study
Where is the PNS located?
What length are its pre/postsynaptic fibers?
What receptor/neurotransmitter is located at the ganglia and at the target organ?
How is the innervation compared from presynaptic to post synaptic?
Are there any exceptions?
Cranial/Sacral
Pre=long; Post=short
Ganglia= Nicotinic/Ach; Target organ=Muscarinic/Ach
pointed, 1:1 ratio of innnervation
no
Where is the SNS located?
What length are its pre/postsynaptic fibers?
What receptor/neurotransmitter is located at the ganglia and at the target organ?
How is the innervation compared from presynaptic to post synaptic?
Are there any exceptions?
Thoraco/lumbar
Pre=short; Post=long
Ganglia=Nicotinic/Ach; Organ=alpha/beta/NE/Epi
diffuse, 1 nerve pre, many nerves post
yes
- Sweat glan=Muscarinic/Ach at organ
- adrenal=no synapse, direct Ach/nicotinic innervation
What are the actions of alpha-1?

Alpha-2?
constrict blood vessels, dilate pupils
inhibit insulin release, general inhibition
How are the beta receptor actions the same?

How are they different?
both increase HR, contractility
B2 also dilates cardiac vessels, releases glucagon and increases lipolysis (counteracts insulin)
what are the actions of M1? M2? M3?
M1=activates enteric NS, inc peristalsis
M2=decrease HR
M3=GI/GU activated (increase peristalsis etc), bronchoconstriction, pupil constriction
What are the actions of D1?

D2?
relaxes renal smooth muscle
CNS receptors, inhibitors will cause parkinson-like symptoms
What are the actions of V1? V2?
smooth muscle contraction
