10/22 Pharmacology Flashcards
what is pharmacodynamics
The drug’s effects on the body or the relationship between drug concentration and effecct! how the amount of drug in the body effects the body.
what is pharmacokinetics?
The body’s effects on the drug or the changes in drug concentration over time.
what is ADME in pharmacology?
the Chain of progression for a medicine in the body. This is the processs of pharmacokinetsics: Absorption; Distribution; Metabolism; Excretion.
The movement of a drug from its site of administration into the bloodstream
Absorption
The movement of a drug from the blood stream to the various tissues of the body
Distribution
The biotransformation of a drug into inactive or active metabolites.
Metabolism
The removal of a drug from the body.
Elimination
What does the course of a drug in the body depend on?
The body’s affects on drug (Pharmacokinetics) and The drug’s effects on the body (Pharmacodynamics)
What are the processes of Pharmacokinetics?
Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion
what are the processes of pharmacodynamics?
Mechanisms of action of the drug (biochemical and microbiological)
What is the graphical prepresentation of pharmacokinetics?
Concentration-time curves
what are the graphical representations of the pharmacodynamics?
dose-response curves
what are the measured parameters of pharmacokinetics
bioavailability; Volume of distribution; Half-life; Clearance
What are the measured parameters of pharmacodynamics?
Efficacy; Potency
what does pharmacogenetics have an effect on?
both the pharmacokinetics and the pharmacodynamics
The fractional extent to which a dose of a drug reaches the systemic circulation.
Bioavailability (F)
the apparent space in the body available to contain the drug
volume of distribution VD
a measure of the rate of removal of drug from the body
elimination half-life (T1/2)
What is the intrinsic activity of a drug?
the basic effect that a drug has on a receptor i.e. agonist or antagonist etc.
The strength of interaction between a drug and a drug receptor.
affinity
what must we do if we want to kick gluteus at something?
“I’ll keep pushing myself, there’s always some way to do it better…”
where would a drug go if it was sublingual (venous)
It would bypass the portal system and go right into the caval system of veins by way of the jugular vien ets.
where would a drug go if it was rectal
It would go to both the portal and the caval drainage, resulting in mixed pharmakinetics.
what venous drainage would take place for an oral drug
Portal drainage!
what are the 9 basic routes of administration of a drug?
oral, sublingual, rectal, transdermal, intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, inhalation.
what are the routes of administratoin that would bipase the liver?
sublingual, rectal, inhalation would but the lung has some first pass effects as well! and of course the IV would be the “perfect administration. through the skin or muscle would also bypass the portal.
how would facilitated vs. plain diffusion differ?
facilitated can be saturated and see a curve that goes to a saturation.
what form of a weak acid/base drug is usually more soluble?
the unionized form is mor lipid soluble and able to cross the cell membrane to act!
how would the difference in pH from outside of a cell to inside of a cell be important for the action of most drugs
most drugs transit the membrane into the cell in the un-ionized form, but it is the ionized form of the drug that is the active form, so the pH must change in order to activate the drug.
How would the surface area and concentration affect the absorption of a drug?
For passive transport, the surface area and concentration gradient is the driving force and is very important.
how can the pKa of a drug help to determine when it is in an ionized or non-ionized form?
pH above pKa- deprotinated; pH below pKa- protinated; weak acid - deprotinated=Ionized; Weak base- protinated=ionized
when is there an equal amount of protinated/deprotinated weak acid/base
when pH = pKa
Equation to relate pH and pKa
pH-pKa = log [protinated] / [unprotinated]
