Drug Evaluations and Pharmacogenetics Flashcards
Preclinical Safety Testing
on animals
in vitro
not completely reliable data when transferred to human use
Phase 1
20-50
tested on healthy people
to see if the drug is safe
Phase 2
100-200
tested on sick people
to see if the drug is effective
Phase 3
1000-6000
Safety and efficacy
double blind
A new drug must file a ______ to begin human trials
Investigational New Drug Application
After passing human trials, drugs file a ______ to hit open market
New Drug Application
Phase 4
Marketing
Orphan Drugs
for diseases affecting less than 200,000
often will not get enough funding/ profit because of so few affected
Missense SNP
change in structure or function of protein
Nonsense SNP
stop codon
Synonymous/ Silent SNP
does not affect structure or function of protein
CYP2C9
metabolizes drugs with small TI- warfarin
if has this allele warfarin will not metabolize and will increase risk of bleeding
CYP2C19
metabolizes proton pump inhibitors
CYP2D6 and Codeine
ultra rapid metabolizer
increased opioid medicated affects if have 2 alleles
CYP2D6 Poor Metabolizer
little or no function
