bases of pharm Flashcards
define affinity
effectivness of binding
define intrinsic efficacy
response to ligand binding
what is potency
affinity+intrinsic efficacy
what is Bmax
maximum bining capacity => limited by receptor number
What is Kd
concentration of ligand required to occupy 50% of receptors, higher the value the less effective is the drug
define EC50
50% of maximum response potency affected by receptor number, potency and ability to mediate a response
define E max
maximum response
define IC 50
concentration that inhibits 5 0% of response
define oral bivelence
Proportion of drug given orally /or any other rout (not IV) that reaches circulation unchanged
What’s LD/TD 50 and ED 50
LD50 => maximum total dose (lethal)
ED50 => maximum effective dose (effective)
define volume of distribution
Theoretical volume into which drug is distributed if this occurred instantaneously’
why bis pH of urin important in drug elimination
weak acids eliminated better with alkaline urine and opposit true, nit reabsorbed
define pharmacokinetics
what body does to the drug
define pharmacodynamics
what drug does to thebody
what is the difference between eneteral and paraenteral drug delivery
enteral =through GI (oral, sublingunal, rectal)
paraenteral=not through GI (IV, IM, transdermarl, subcutenous intrathecal)
