|
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 |
