excretion into bile
therapeutic window of a drug is between what two thresholds
minimal effective concentration (MEC)
minimal toxic concentration (MTC)
grapefruit juice + simvastatin =
myopathy (toxicity)
St. John’s Wort + simvastatin =
drug ineffective (never reaches MEC)
CYP450s located where
smooth ER
what induces enzyme production
phenobarbitol
receptor for Rifampin that dimerizes and goes into nucleus and leads to CYP3A4 being produced and rifampin’s degradation
PXR
____ activated by CYP2C19
Clopidogrel
inhibits CYP2C19
Omeprazole
omeprazole + clopidogrel=
platelet aggregation
cimetidine + omeprazole =
bleeding
_____inactivates CYP2C9
Cimetidine
warfarin + cimetidine =
bleeding
____ inhibits CYP3A4
Erythromycin (macrolide)
Erythromycin + Warfarin =
bleeding
Erythromycin + Ketoconazole
long QT + long QT = Torsades de Pointes
