Q

Describe the Tylenol Pathway: Normal and OD

A

Normal - Tylenol is metabolized by P2 reactions of Glucuronidation and Sulfation
OD - Tylenol resorts to P1 metabolism in Toxic Intermediates, then can try P2 GSH-conjugation. If this does not work, it will result in P1 Nucleophilic Macromolecule Hepatocyte death

36
Q

MAB: How they are Created (Recombinant DNA)

A

Isolate Antigen – inject mouse with antigen – mouse produces antibodies – take antibodies from mouse and mix with Myeloma Cell from Spleen to make Immortal Cell – inject Immortal Cell into mouse to have infinite copies

37
Q

Define Steady State

A

The amount of drug given = amount eliminated (think normal IV med in ICU); 4 T1/2’s

38
Q

Prodrugs and Drugs: Pt.1
Drug 1 metabolized and made inactive by CYP3A4, Drug 2 induces CYP3A4. What will happen to Drug 1?

46
Q

Prodrugs activated by CYP3A4, Drug 2 induces CYP3A4. What happens to ProDrug?

A

Prodrug will be more activated

47
Q

GPCR: Adenylyl Cyclase

A

Ligand binds to receptor, GDP converts to GTP and Gprotein via A subunit is sent over to transduction protein (Adenylyl Cyclase), AC then converts ATP to cAMP, which cAMP activates Protein Kinase C, which starts phosphorylation cascade/completes task

48
Q

Zero Order Kinetics

A

Where receptors get saturated, it saturates the elimination properties– body can only get rid of drug so fast, so CL varies on concentration of drug and ROE is constant; usually with toxic doses

49
Q

CYP450: Induction and Inhibition

A

Induction - If induced, increases what is already being done
Inhibition - If inhibited, decreases what is already being done

50
Q

Transmembrane Signaling: Intracellular and Cell Surface

A

IC - Lipid Soluble
CS - GPCR, Ion channel, Catalytic (RTK)

51
Q

What does a High Vd mean

A

The drug likes to enter other portions of the body rather than the blood

52
Q

HOP: 1st Physician

A

Imhotep

53
Q

Kd50 and BMAX

A

Kd - efficacy; this is the dotted line on the x-axis; amount of drug given to get 50% receptors bound
BMAX - 100% receptors bound; above max may lead to toxic dose

54
Q

Define Flow-Dependent Elimination and Extraction Ratio (formula)

A

The amount of blood going through the organ and the amount extracted from the organ vs how much stays in there; Formula - CL (o) = Q x (CLi - CLo)/CLi

55
Q

Racemic Mixture Definition

A

2 Enantiomers combined to create more effective, safe drug

56
Q

Ligand Gated: Ionotropic vs Metabotropic

A

Ionotropic - Ion channel; ligand binds to open up channel, and when it leaves, channel closes
Metabotropic - GPCR attached

57
Q

1st-Pass Effect Definition

A

Only for PO meds; metabolized by liver before reaching systemic circulation

58
Q

ABCB1

A

Broadest specificity; Critical in BBB; Tons of drugs and classes; Loperamine w/ Quinidine = Opiate like effects/resp. depression
Digoxin and Cyclosporine = Increased Dig toxicity

59
Q

Desensitization: Pathway

A

Ligand binds to receptor, creating phosphorylation in the OH groups (normally elicit a response) – Betaerestin comes in to block this from creating a response– then drags receptor and drug to a Clatherin Coated Pit– in pit, either recycling or Lysosome acidic degradation occurs

60
Q

Drug Dosage Variation: Warfarin

A

Metabolized by CYP2C9; if do not have CYP2C9, increased chance for toxic (may need lower dose or new drug); need genetic testing

61
Q

EC50 and EMAX

A

EC50 - Potency; amount of drug given to get 50% of desired response
EMAX - 100% desired response; has max limit

62
Q

HOP: Father of Western Medicine

A

Hippocrates

63
Q

GI-Tract

A

Most common is ABCG2; Tylenol (glucuronides from P2 hepatic metabolism)

64
Q

Desensitization: Definition

A

When the receptor gets saturated, the drug becomes less effective and the body turns off the receptor to reset the combination to work effectively next time again

65
Q

P1 Reactions

A

Oxidation (CYP450), Hydrolysis, Dehydrogenation, Reduction

66
Q

Describe the CYP450 Pathway

A

Drug binds to CYP450; goes through a bunch of oxidation reactions; Oxygen pops off to form a H2O molecule, leaving the drug as a ROH molecule, making it hydrophilic and easy to excrete; Flavoprotein reacts with CYP450 and is oxidized and recycled; similar next to that as NADPH is oxidized and recycled

67
Q

Extraction Ratio: High, Intermediate, Low

A

High: >0.7
Intermediate: 0.3-0.7
Low: <0.3

68
Q

Metabolic Rate with Drug Dose: Poor Metabolizer

A

Prodrug - less effective, as needs to be metabolized in order to elicit response
Drug - good, stays in system longer; may need less to avoid toxic

69
Q

CYP2B6: Drugs to Know

A

Phenobarb (induce), Clopidogrel (inhibit)

70
Q

Liver

A

Mostly excrete to Bile post metabolism; SLC (OATPs) and ABC’s

71
Q

Hasselbach: pH<pKa

A

protonated; acid = no charge, base = charge

72
Q

Receptor Theory: Orphan Receptor

A

We do not know endogenous ligand of this receptor

73
Q

1st Order Kinetics

A

Most drugs go through this; non-toxic dose; Blood levels of drugs decrease while CL remains constant

74
Q

4 Variations of Drug to Response

A
  1. Alteration in Physiology
  2. Alteration number/function of receptors
  3. Concentration of endogenous ligands
  4. Change to downstream effect (LARGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT)
75
Q

GPCR: Phospholipase C

A

Ligand binds to receptor, Gprotein activates transduction protein (Phospholipase C), PLC then activates IP3,DAG, IP3 and DAG go to ER and activated Ca++ channel, Ca++ is 2nd messenger and actives proteins for a cell response

76
Q

Drug Dosage Variation: 6-MP

A

Metabolized by TPMT; if deficient in TPMT, increased risk for toxicity; need blood test

77
Q

A

Antineoplastics

78
Q

P2 Reactions

A

Glucuronidation, GSH-Conjugation

79
Q

B-CSF Barrier

A

Pia Mater and Ependymal Cells; similar to BBB, but less efflux

80
Q

FDA: OTC vs BTC

A

OTC - “less effective” by public, less chance of toxicity
BTC - “more effective” by public, need licensed Physician, increased risk of toxicity

81
Q

Hasselbach: pH>pKa

A

unprotonated; acid = charge, base = no charge

82
Q

FDA: Thalidomide

A

Med that was used for morning sickness in pregnant women; turned out to be Teratogenic (caused limb deform)

83
Q

Define CL

A

The ability of the body to eliminate the drug; elimination is based off CL; Varies based off concentration

84
Q

Low Kd = ?

A

7 TM structure with Carboxyl end group; 3 subunits of A,B, gamma

86
Q

Ligands that bind within the cell: Gasses, Steroids

A

Gasses - High BP in vessels activates NO - NO diffuses to smooth muscle, dilating vessels and lowering BP
Steroids - Lipid soluble and can get into nucleus of cell
