Q

paracellular diffusion

37
Q

Carrier mediated transport mechanisms

A

Facilitated diffusion (concentration gradient only), Active transport (may go against the concentration gradient but needs energy)

38
Q

Efflux transporters are

A

transporters are doing the opposite of the transporter they remove drugs out of the cell, one of the major causes of drug resistance and antibacterial resistance.

39
Q

Efflux transporters - p-glycoprotein

A
  1. can limit drug absorption
    2.can enhance drug elimination
  2. limited distribution (brain or testes, or maternal blood)
40
Q

What is the main efflux transporter?

A

PGP

41
Q

How are nanoparticles able to enter the cell and cross the membrane?

A

This happens by endocytosis

42
Q

perfusion rate limited

A

involved in the movement of blood to the tissue and once it reaches it destination it can easily move through the membrane

43
Q

permeability rate limited

A

Once the drug moves through the blood to the tissue it takes longer to pass through the membrane because of its charge

44
Q

will perfusion rate limited or permeability rate limited show lower tissue distribution?

A

permeability rate limited will have slower tissue diffusion

45
Q

What is convection?

A

the movement of molecule by pressure

46
Q

What is diffusion?

A

the movement by concentration gradients

47
Q

Is diffusion or convection (transvascular - movement across the endothelial cell) likely to be more important to monoclonal antibodies?

A

Convection because its so big and wont be able to enter from diffusion so it needs the pressure

48
Q

what is pharmacologically active?

A

only the free drug

49
Q

What 3 ways does the blood brain barrier keep drugs out of the brain

A
  1. Tight junctions (almost no paraceulluar diffusion)
  2. Negative lipid head groups
  3. A high concentration of PGP - high efflux activity
50
Q

What are the four mechanisms that drugs can get into the CNS?

A
  1. They have the correct physiochemical properties
  2. Direct administration into the cerebral spinal fluid
  3. They utilize existing transporters
  4. Disruption of the BBB
51
Q

What can happen to some drugs that can cross the BBB but they don’t aren’t seen?

A

The efflux transporters are working efficiently at keeping the drugs out of the brain that you cannot tell

52
Q

would a mother want to be on heparin or warfarin

A

heparin because it wont be able to cross through the placenta to get into the child

53
Q

What are the 2 main routes of excretion?

A

Renal - kidneys (most primary)
Biliary - feces

54
Q

What are 3 secondary routes of excretion?

A

Pulmonary
Salivary
Mammary

55
Q

Why do some labels tell us to drink plenty of water with the medication?

A

Some medication is poorly soluble and can precipitate out of the tubule and cause damage to the kidneys

56
Q

Why should you not take a lot of vitamin C?

A

The more you take the more just gets reabsorbed and produces no effect. renal tubular reabsorption

57
Q

where does filtration happen in the kindeys?

A

Glomerulus in bowmans capsule

58
Q

where does active tubular secretion happen in the kindeys?

A

In the proximal tubule

59
Q

where does active tubular reabsorption happen in the kidneys?

A

In the distal tubule

60
Q

Whats the molecular weight that isnt able to be filtered through kidneys

A

greater than 5000

61
Q

What are factors that can influence filtration?

A
  1. # of functional nephrons (decrease as you get older)
  2. molecular size / weight 5000
  3. protein binding
  4. renal blood flow
62
Q

Urinary excretion rate and dose

A

The secretion rate would saturate at some point of the dose because all of the excretion receptors are occupied meaning there will be a fixed number getting secreted

63
Q

how much urine actually gets secreted and not reabsorbed?

A

1%

64
Q

What is the hepatic elimination split up by?

A

metabolism
feces or biliary

65
Q

which way does bile move in the liver?

A

moves from the inner portion to the outside and drains into the bile ducts

66
Q

where does blood move in the liver?

A

moves form the portal vein on the outside to the inside central canal

67
Q

what get moved in hapatocytes?

A

stuff can move in or out of hapatocytes

68
Q

for drugs that are getting excreted in the bile ducts whats the most optimal molecular weight?

A

500-600 because the lower molecular weight will get passively reabsorbed before entering the bile ducts

69
Q

what is dose dumping?

A

When you get a bump in dose when you eat in the morning because the gallbladder got emptied.

70
Q

what are two reasons why drug metabolism is important to adverse reactions?

A
  1. Change the pharmacological activity
  2. Change elimination
71
Q

what is the main organ involved in drug metabolism

A

the liver

72
Q

what is the second most important organ for drug metabolism

A

the GI tract

73
Q

name two ways the metabolism of a drug metabolized by p450 can be decreased?

A

decrease NADPH or inhibit the CYP450 reductase

74
Q

What is phase 1 drug metabolism

A

A chemical modification (biotransformation) which adds a functional group.

75
Q

What is phase 2 drug metabolism

A

Conjugation of polar group with a drug

76
Q

do inducers or inhibitors cause more interactions

A

inducers cause more interactions

77
Q

autoinduction is…..

A

when you take the dose so many times that the amount you put in the body is the amount youre outputting. this will lead to breakthroughs as the medication isnt providing its full effect

78
Q

which CYP2 is the most important

A

CYP2C9 because of its bigger active site

79
Q

CYP2D6 metabolizes what % of all clinically important drugs?

A

20%

80
Q

If a molecule inhibits CYP2D6 will they try to make a different drug that dosent inhibit this enxyme?

A

Yes, because it metabolizes so many drugs that its important to not inhibit this CYP
