Km
reflects the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate -- the lower the Km, the higher the affinity
Vmax
directly proportional to the enzyme concentration
Competitive vs. Noncompetitive Inhibitors -- Resemble Substrate
Competitive = Yes; Noncompetitive = No
Competitive vs. Noncompetitive Inhibitors -- Overcome by increase [S]
Competitive = Yes; Noncompetitive = No
Competitive vs. Noncompetitive Inhibitors -- Bind Active Site
Competitive = Yes; Noncompetitive = No
Competitive vs. Noncompetitive Inhibitors -- Effect on Vmax
Competitive = Unchanged; Noncompetitive = decrease
Competitive vs. Noncompetitive Inhibitors -- Effect on Km
Competitive = Increased; Noncompetitive = Unchanged
Volume of Distrution (Vd) Def
Relates the amount of drug in the the body to the plasma concentration, Vd of plasma protein-bound drugs can be altered by liver and kidney disease
Vd equation
(amount of drug in the body)/(plasma drug concentration)
Drugs with low Vd distribute in
plasma
Drugs with medium Vd distribute in
extracellular space
Drugs with high Vd distribute in
tissues
Clearance (CL) Def
relates the rate of elimination to the plasma concentration
Clearance (CL) equation
(rate of elimination of drug)/(plasma drug concentration) = Vd x Ke
Half-life (t 1/2) Def
The time required to change the amount of drug in the body by 1/2 during elimination
Loading Dose equation
Cp x Vd/F
Maintenance Dose equation
Cp x CL/F
Zero-order Elimination
Rate of elimination is constant regardless of C
First-order Elimination
Rate of elimination is proportional to the drug concentration. Cp decrease exponentially with time
Phase I metabolism
reduction, oxidation, hyrdolysis --> yields slightly polar, water-soluble metabolites (often still active) --> cytochrome P450
Phase II metabolism
acetylation, glucuronidation, sulfation --> yields very polar, inactive metabolites (renally excreted)
Competitive antagonist effects of Agonist Dose (log scale) vs % of maximum effect
shifts curve to the right, decreasing potency, and increase EC50
Noncompetitive antagonist effects of Agonist Dose (log scale) vs % of maximum effect
shifts curve downward, decreasing efficacy
System with Spare Receptors -- What is effect on relationship btw EC50 and Kd?
EC50 < Kd, indicating that to achieve 50% of maximum effect, <50% of the receptors must be activated
Partial agonist effect on efficacy and potency
acts on the same receptor system as the full agonist but has a lower maximal efficacy no matter the dose and potency is an independent factor
Therapeutic Index Equation
TD50/ED50 = median toxic dose/median effective dose
