Exam 1 Review Flashcards
Define Pharmacology
The study of drugs and their effects on the body
CYP2D6: Drugs to Know
Quinidine (inhibit)
SLC 21 Transporters
OATPs; passive transport (FD)
Blood volumes in Body: Whole blood and plasma
Whole Blood - 5.6L/70 kg
Plasma - 2.8L/70Kg
Hepatic Blood Flow: Non-1st Pass Effect
Systemic Circulation - Hepatic Artery - Sinusoids - Hepatic Vein - Vena Cava - Systemic Circulation
FDA Regulation: How to bring a drug to market
In-Vitro Studies: 1-2 years
Animal Testing: 3-4 years
* Send IND to FDA
P1: 20-100 healthy individuals; is it safe?
P2: 100-200 sick individuals; placebo effect
P3: 1000+ sick individuals; marketing, double-blind
*Send NDA to FDA @ 8-9 yrs (takes 1 year for this- where Thalidomide got stuck)
New Patent- 20 years
Inert Receptors: Albumin
2 sites, drug has to be free form, decreased levels in liver and malnutrition issues
Describe the Tylenol Pathway: Normal and OD
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
Inert Receptors: 3 Types with Preference for Drug
- Albumin - Acidic drugs
- A1- acid glycoprotein - Basic Drugs
- Lipoprotein - Neutral Drugs
Isomer Definition
Same chemical formula, but different structure
Chiral Definition
Broad definition of being mirror image of itself
FDA: Herbals
Safe, not effective per say
MAB: Definition
Derived from living organisms; single clone of single cell; made of 2 light and 2 heavy chains; can bind to single cell; “umab”
Receptor Theory: 3 Factors
- Affinity determines dose
- Selectivity varies per drug
- Can be agonist or antagonist
What is most Important in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
Clearance!!
Enantiomer Definition
Make up racemic mixtures; “Hand” example; mirror image
Metabolic Rate with Drug Dose: Rapid Metabolizer
Prodrug - Good, need less amount to avoid toxic
Drug - less effective, as broken down quick
Define T 1/2
The time it takes for 50% of the drug to decrease
ABCG2
Breast Cx, folate (most common in GI tract)
Define Vd
The drug concentration in blood vs how much left to other parts of the body; High Vd = drug goes to other places besides blood
Define Rational Dosing
Goal is to achieve desired beneficial effects with minimal adverse effects
Brussel Sprouts Question
Warfarin inactivated by CYP1A2, Brussel Sprouts induce CYP1A2. What happens to Warfarin? Less effective and have to give more
Describe Cell Signaling
Signal Molecule (drug, ligand) - Receptor - Transduction Protein (AC or PLC) - 2nd Messenger (IP3, DAG, cAMP) - Effector Protein (PKA)
Explain Phosphorylation Cascade
Ligand binds to the receptor - Creates Kinase (inactive) and Kinase (Active) - Kinase (A) creates Protein 1 (I) and Protein 1 (A) - Protein 1 (A) creates Protein 2 (I) and Protein 2 (A), etc..
BBB
3 parts: cells, tight junction, ABC efflux transporters
O2, CO2, ethanol, nicotine, insulin, albumin
Define Loading Dose
Bolus; after giving, slow maintenance is key to avoid toxic
RTK: Pathway
2 ligands bind to both monomers simultaneously, creating a dimer – Uses 6 ATP to phosphorylate the dimer– after this is done, activates relay protein to do function
RTK Structure
Catalytic Cell Surface Receptor; 2 monomers when bound become a dimer
SLC Proteins
Solute Carrier Proteins; 15-30% of all membrane proteins; High Specificity (Na, glucose, Acetyl-Coa, AA)
Hepatic Blood Flow: First-Pass Effect
GI – Local Veins – Hepatic Portal Vein – Sinusoids - Hepatic Vein - Vena Cava - Systemic Circulation
HOP: Father of Toxicology, with quote
Paracelsus - “dose makes poison”
Drug Dosage Variation: Herceptin
Antibody shuts down receptor; HER2 over-expression
What are Sinusoids?
Mixed oxygen and non-oxygen blood b/c meeting of hepatic vein and hepatic artery; in Liver Lobule (hepatocytes)
