Drug Properties Flashcards
Dantrolene presentation
20mg dantrolene sodium, orange powder
3g mannitol
recon with 60ml of sterile water
alkaline, highly irritant when extravasated
Dantrolene dose
2.5mg/kg IV up to 10mg/kg
Dantrolene protein binding
85%
Dantrolene metabolism
hepatic -> 5-hydroxy-dantrolene
50% active
Renal excretion
Dantrolene T1/2B
12 hours
Porphyria pathophysiology
defect in first step of haem synthesis + partial deficiency of enzymes subsequent to this process.
Drugs to trigger porphyria
barbiturates
ketamine
clonidine
ketorolac
phenytoin
plasma pseudocholinesterase deficiency
Genetic
Acquired - pregnancy, liver failure, renal failure, malignancy, malnutrition, burns, thyrotoxicosis
Post plasmapheresis
Excretion vs. elimination?
excretion is the removal of drugs from the body
elimination is removal of drugs from the plasma
- Can occur via distribution, metabolism, excretion
CSHT Remi
5 mins
CSHT Propofol
8 mins after 1 hour
40 mins after 8 hours
CSHT Fentanyl
at 2 hours = alfentanil at 50mins
CSHT Alfentanil
50 mins post 2 hours -> context insensitive
CSHT thiopental
150 mins post 8 hours (active pentobarbital, zero order kinetic)
Difference between iso and enflurane structures
positional isomers
3F on terminal carbon for iso, Cl + H on C2
End 2F on C2
changes to neonatal drug response - PO absorption
delayed GI emptying, prolonged contact with small bowel wall -> increased absorption of drugs
Neonatal NMJ changes
immature until 2 months of age
small reserve of Ach, more sensitive to NDMRs
Define shelf-life
length of time a drug can stay on the shelf without degrading to unacceptable level (minimum 90%)
What is sulphite addictive?
found in adrenaline (sodium meta-bisulfites)
antioxidants
can cause hypersensitivity, neurological damage from intrathecal administration
preservative in ketamine?
benzalkonium chloride
Side effect of benzalkonium?
histamine release -> hypotension
Class of agent - sevo
halogenated compound
poly-fluorinated isopropyl methyl ethers
Class of agent - des
halogenated, methyl ethyl ether
Difference between sevo and des structures?
2x CF3 on sevo while des has a fluoride instead.
Structure-relationship of volatiles - purpose of low MW
reduce boiling point, increase SVP
Structure-relationship of volatiles - H+ vs F- side chain
H+ - increase flammability, increase potency
F- - decrease flammability, C-F bond strong and resistant to oxidative metabolism, decrease potency
Structure-relationship of volatiles - CHF2 (di-fluor-methyl group)
interacts with soda lime to form CO -> increase carboxyhb
Metabolite of des / iso / halothane
TFA - trifluroacetate
Types of halothane hepatic toxicity
reversible - increase transaminase
fulminant necrosis - TFA chloride + hepatic proteins -> antibody formation
pathophys of nephrotoxicity from methoxyflurane
extensive metabolism into inorganic fluoride -> accumulation
Factors to increase MAC
Children
Hyperthermia
Hyperthyroid
Hypernatraemia
Catecholamines
Chronic opioid use, acute amphetamine use
anxiety
Factors to decrease MAC
Elderly, pregnancy
hypothermia
hyponatraemia
shocked state
A2 agonist, acute opioid use
Hypercapnic, hypoxia
