Exam 2 Flashcards
Three areas that control drug performance in patients?
physiochemical properties, composition of formula (excipients/formulation), physiological barriers
What is drug performance?
therapeutic response, not toxic, drug/formulation/body
excipients
key ingredient for controlling drug delivery
coatings can be applied to
control diffusion rates / modify release properties
disintegrates can be used to
control regions of release based on physiochemical properties
lubricants can
slow dissolution based on properties
internal excipients can
modify release rates
three internal excipients
swellable matrices, non-swelling matrices, inert plastics
what can coatings accomplish
protect from air/humidity, mask taste, special drug release, asthetics, prevent inadvertent contact
aqueous film coatings contain
film forming polymer, plasticizer to produce flexibility, colarant/opafier, vehicle
enteric coating
prevent early release of API in region
sustained release
slow release so plasma profile is sustained
controlled release
implies reproducibility and predictability, allows us to maintain a narrow drug plasma concentration steady state
examples of controlled release
beads/granules/microspheres, multitablet, microencapsulated, drug embedding in hydrophillic matrix
steady state
rate going in body = disposition (rate being metabolized/excreted)
characteristics of good controlled release formulation
not too slow or fast absorbed/excreted, uniformly absorbed GI, small doses, good therapeutic window, chronic therapy
whats permeability/perfusion
functional and molecular characteristics of transporters and metabolism
epithelia
external surfaces, sit on extracellular proteins, polarized w directional transport
types of epithelia
simple squamous, simple columnar, translational, stratified squamous
simple squamous
thin layer of flattened cells that are permeable, lines most blood vessels-placenta
simple columnar
found in GI tract
translational
several layers with different shapes, stretch
stratified squamous
multiple layers of squamous that cover areas subject to wear and tear, comes from keratinization
cellular lipid composition is ______ and intracellular membrane lipids are different than extracellular lipids
polarized
What does cholesterol provide at low levels?
fluidity
passive transport can be
paracellular (around) and transcellular (through)
carrier mediated transport can be
active (energy dep) and facilitated diffusion (energy indep)
