Q

compare on-target and off-target drug toxicities

A

ON- either too much stimulation of receptor (i.e. hypoglycemia from insulin) or activating same receptor in non-target tissue (i.e. His receptors in CNS) [same receptor]

OFF- drug binds additional receptor(s) in target and or non-target tissue [different receptor]; Note this can include enantiomer of drug with different effects

Q

95% of acetominophen is metabolized by (1). The remaining 5% is oxidized by (2) forming (3), a reactive intermediate. (3) is conjugated with (4) in non-toxic doses, but in toxic doses (4) stores are depleted and (5) occurs.

A
1- glucuronidation, sulfation

Q

list the categories for classifying drug use in pregnancy (hint- 5)

A

A- adequate, no risk to fetus
B- animal studies show adverse effects, no evidence seen in with studies in pregnant women
C- animals studies shoe adverse effects or have not been conducted, no studies with pregnant women conducted
D- studies show risk to fetus, however benefits can outweigh potential risks
X- studies show risk to fetus, do not give to pregnant women

17
Q

list the 5 approaches to discovering or developing a new drug

A
  • identification of new drug target
  • rational design of new molecule based on understanding biological mechanisms and drug receptor structure
  • chemical modification of known molecule
  • screening for biologic activity via large number of natural products (previously discovered chemical entities)
  • combination of known drugs
18
Q

FDA determines safety and efficacy of a drug through (1) studies, then (2) studies, and finally (3) studies

A

1- in vitro
2- in vivo
3- RCTs

19
Q

list the three quantitative estimated in preclinical testing

A
  • no-effect dose: max dose where specific toxic effect is not seen
  • minimum lethal dose: smallest dose that killsexperimental animal
  • LD50: dose at which 50% of experimental animals die
20
Q

describe the approach and goal of Acute Toxicity preclinical testing

A
  • determine no-effect dose

- determine maximum tolerated dose

21
Q

describe the approach and goal of Subacute or Subchronic Toxicity preclinical testing

A
  • 2 wks to 3 mos

- determines biochemical and physiological effects

22
Q

describe the approach and goal of Chronic Toxicity preclinical testing

A
  • used if drug will need to be used in humans for long periods
  • runs concurrently with RCTs
  • determines biochemical and physiological effects
23
Q

describe the approach and goal of Effect on Reproductive Performance preclinical testing

A

test effects of animal mating behavior, reproduction, parturition, progeny, birth defects, postnatal development

24
Q

describe the approach and goal of Carcinogenic Potential preclinical testing

A
  • used if drug will need to be used in humans for long periods
  • determines gross and histological pathology

Q

describe the approach and goal of Mutagenic Potential preclinical testing

A

test effects on genetic stability and mutations in bacteria or mammalian cells in culture

26
Q

describe the approach and goal of Investigative Toxicology preclinical testing

-discover genes, proteins, pathways involved
(-develop new methods for assessing toxicity, like computer assisted modeling)

27
Q

what are the limitations of preclinical testing
