1st midterm- Lecture material Flashcards
ATC classification stands for
Anatomic
Theraputic
Chemistry
What is the difference btw pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics?
Pharmacodynamics- How the drug effects the organ
Pharmacokinetics- How the body effects the drug
4 parts of Pharmacokinetics
Absorbtion
Distribution
Metabolism
Excretion
By alkalizing the urine, which type of drug will be increasingly excreted?
Weak acid
pH up will cause weak acid to go in/out to the CNS?
Out to the plasma
Increased excretion
ATP Binding Casett are for Infflux/Efflux?
Efflux
Solute carrier are for Infflux/Efflux?
Infflux
Which type will have gastric absorbtion?
Weak acid
Weak base
Weak acid
Which type will have Intestinal absorbtion?
Weak acid
Weak base
Weak base
Bioavailability=
Fraction of the drug that reach the systemic circulation
Volume of distribution=
Amount of drug in the body (mL) / Plasma conc. (mg/mL)
Example for a drug with low Volume of distribution
Where can we find it in the body?
Heparin
Plasma
Example for a drug with high Volume of distribution
Where can we find it in the body?
Digoxin
Total volume of the body
Biotransformation
Phase 1 reactions
Oxidation
Reduction
Hydrolysis
Biotransformation
Phase 2 reactions
Conjugation (Acetylation, Methylation, Glucoronidation…)
First order kinetics=
Increased plasma drug conc. -> Increased drug elimination
Zero order kinetics=
Rate of drug metabolism is constant
Rate of elimination becomes independant of drug conc.
In which case do we see this
Increased plasma drug conc. -> Increased drug elimination
First order kinetics
Plasma conc. of a certain drug is 200 mg
t1/2= 1 h
What will be the drug conc. after 1 hour?
100 mg
Clearance=
Volume of plasma cleared of drug per unit of time
Rate of elimination equation=
Clearance X Concentration
Nicotinic receptor MOA
How many Ach are required for activation?
Cation selective Na+ channels
2-5 Ach molecules
AchE mechanism
Ach binds active center
Enzyme cuts ester bond
Enzyme becomes acetylated, Choline leaves
Acetyl group leaves enzyme by spont. hydrolysis
Presynaptic stimulation by which receptors and which substances?
B2, M1, AT-1, PSG
4-Aminopyridine, a-Latroxine
Presynaptic inhibition by which receptors and which substances?
a2, M2, D2
Hemicholinium, Vasemicol, Botulinium
Muscarinic actions in the eye
Contraction of the iris sphincter and ciliary muscles
