Q

what is particularly important to receptors that respond to hormones, neurotransmitters, and peptides

A

Signal amplification

31
Q

Down-regulation can occur when what two things happen?

A
  1. Receptor undergoes endocytosis and is recycled after some period of time
  2. Receptor is degraded which reduces total number of receptors
32
Q

dysregulation of receptors disease examples

A

DMII and myasthenia gravis for example

33
Q

This mainly occurs when receptor-blocking drugs are given over periods of time and/or at high doses

A

Up-regulation when receptor is blocked

34
Q

An ________ binds to a receptor and influences the normal physiologic response

35
Q

Two major types of agonists

A

full and partial

36
Q

What are full agonists?

A

activate the receptor to result in maximal (“normal”) physiologic response of the endogenous ligand

37
Q

What are partial agonists?

A

partially activate the receptor to result in a response that is less than the maximal endogenous response

38
Q

third uncommon type of agonist is inverse. what does inverse agonist do?

A

causes receptor to be inactive state so there is no biologic response

39
Q

what are antagonists?

A

Bind to receptors but do not active them so results in blockade preventing binding of endogenous ligand

40
Q

types of antagonists?

A

Competitive/reversible antagonists (blocks binding)
Irreversible antagonists (blocks binding)
Functional and chemical antagonism

41
Q

these block adrenergic receptors

A

beta blockers

42
Q

beta blockers are an example of ____.

A

antagonists

43
Q

what is Competitive Antagonism

A

when Both antagonist and agonist can bind to receptor so they compete

44
Q

What determines binding in Competitive Antagonism?

45
Q

how can the effects of irreversible antagonism be overcome?

A

synthesis of new receptors

46
Q

what happens in irreversible antagonism?

A

The drug binds covalently or with very high affinity to the active site of the receptor which prevents anything else from activating the receptor

47
Q

what is Functional antagonism?

A

when the ligand acts at a completely separate receptor and initiate effects that are functionally opposite those of the agonist

48
Q

what is Chemical antagonism?

A

when a chemical modifies or sequesters the agonist so that it is incapable of binding to and activating its receptor

49
Q

examples of Functional antagonism

A

histamine at the H1 histamine receptors v. epinephrine at the β2-adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle

50
Q

example of chemical antagonism

A

protamine sulfate basic (positive charge) protein binds to heparin with is acidic (neg charge)

51
Q

This is sometimes referred to as “physiologic antagonism”

A

Functional antagonism

52
Q

when does PK antagonism occur?

A

occurs when some change to ADME results in decreased effect

53
Q

what is Therapeutic index?

A

ratio of dose that produces toxicity to the dose that produces a clinically desired or effective response in a population of individuals

54
Q

Loss of therapeutic effects over time

55
Q

how can tolerance can be overcome?

A

by increased doses

56
Q

what is Tachyphylaxis

A

Rapid tolerance that is NOT dose-dependent

57
Q

Unintended, harmful reactions to medicines when given at therapeutic dose

A

adverse drug rxn

58
Q

Among the leading cause of death in many countries

59
Q

% of Americans take at least one medication

60
Q

% of Americans that take five or more medicines

61
Q

700,000 ED visits and 120,000 hospitalizations annually are caused from ____.

62
Q

Low BP after antihypertensive and
Fungal overgrowth after antibiotics
are examples of what type if ADR

A

Extension of therapeutic effect

63
Q

type of ADR that occurs when IgE-mediated response leads to increased release of inflammation mediators

A

Allergy- Non-therapeutic

64
Q

Extreme sensitivity
Prolonged drug effects
Resistance to drug
Unusual response

are examples to what kind of ADR?

A

Idiosyncratic-Non-therapeutic

65
Q

medical error type of ADR

A

Iatrogenic

66
Q

ADR caused by health provider or someone involved in care

A

Iatrogenic

67
Q

these are examples of what type of ADR?
20 U of insulin ordered but the “U” was read as 0 and 200 units administered

10 mg methotrexate ordered daily but should be weekly

Patient’s caregiver applies 6 pain patches at one time because they were not counseled to remove each one when applying a new one

A

Iatrogenic

68
Q

Prescriber Responsibilities regarding ADRs (5)

A 
Ensure the “rights”
Use minimally effective dose
Evaluate patient and family history
Evaluate possible interactions
Patient education
69
Q

Study of how genetic makeup affects an individual’s response to drugs

A

Pharmacogenomics

70
Q

Difference in gene expression or single-nucleotide polymorphisms correlates with ______.

A

efficacy or toxicity

71
Q

Several known genes which are responsible for variances in drug metabolism and response. most common variations are associated with what gene?

A

CYP450 genes

72
Q

p-glycoprotein polymorphisms is an example of _______.

A

genes which are responsible for variances in drug metabolism and response

73
Q

different ______ lead to variations in ability, or lack thereof, to metabolize some medications

A

phenotypes
