Exam 3 Review Flashcards
Site of administration to blood
Absorption
Blood to tissues
Distribution
Tissues back to the blood
Redistribution
Chemical alteration of drug molecule by cells of the animal
Biotransformation (metabolism)
Removal or clearance of drug out of the body
Excretion
Downhill movement; no E required
Passive diffusion
Downhill movement; no E required; carrier-mediated
Facilitated diffusion
Uphill movement; E required; carrier-mediated
Active transport
Endocytosis of molecules dissolved in water
Pinocytosis
Pinocytosis example:
Aminoglycosides can cause what kind of damage and can act as what?
Renal damage; can act as renal toxins
What are these?
Concentration gradient
Lipid solubility
Degree of drug ionization
Factors affecting simple diffusion
Lipid solubility
Higher lipid solubility of the drug = FASTER crossing cell membranes
Degree of drug ionization
Drugs cross biological membranes in NON-IONIZED, LIPID SOLUBLE form
Ionized drugs tells us what?
The drugs are trapped
Non-ionized drugs tell us what?
The drugs are permeable to the membrane
What ionization equation would you use for a weak acid?
pka=pH + log N/I
What are these?
Molecular size, Dissolution in water, Concentration at absorptive site, Route of administration, Lipid solubility, Degree of ionization
Factors affecting drug absorption related to the drug
What are these?
Blood flow, absorptive surface area, connective tissue, species, individual
Factors affecting drug absorption related to the animal
Molecular size?
Smaller molecule = FASTER drug absorption
Lipid solubility?
High solubility = FASTER drug absorption
Degree of ionization?
High ratio = FASTER drug absorption
Dissolution in water?
Liquid drugs = FASTER drug absorption
Concentration at absorptive site?
Higher concentration = FASTER drug absorption
Routes of administration in order of fastest absorption?
- Sublingual and inhalation
- IM
- SQ
- PO
Blood flow?
Higher blood flow = FASTER drug absorption
Absorptive surface area?
Higher area = FASTER drug absorption
Ex. Fetanyl patch
Dissolution is often the rate limiting step for what kind of absorption?
Oral absorption (absorption from the GI tract)
What are these?
Lipid solubility, Degree of ionization, Concentration gradient, Plasma protein binding, Affinity for certain tissues
Factors affecting drug disposition related to the drug
What are these?
Blood flow, Species/individual differences, Plasma protein binding, Tissue barriers
Factors affecting drug disposition related to the animal
Plasma protein binding?
Acids to Albumin
Bases to alpha-glycoproteins and lipoproteins
Unbound, free drugs are biologically active
Prolongs half life
Blood Brain Barrier
Tight capillary endothelial junctions
Glial cells fill in gaps bt junctions
Younger animals have GREATER drug movement across BBB
Affinity of drugs for certain tissues
Drugs will accumulate in certain tissues
Ex. Aminoglycosides bind to kidney tissue and can cause renal damage or failure
Increased redistribution does what to the half life?
Increases the half life
Which tissue is the common site of drug redistribution?
Adipose tissue
What are the main effects of drug biotransformation?
Change in physiochemical properties of the drug
Change in pharmacologic activity
The metabolite may be more water soluble, more polar, and more ionized
Change in physicochemical properties of the drug
What are the changes in pharmacologic activity?
Bioinactivation and bioactivation
Conversion of a parent drug to an inactive metabolite
Bioinactivation
Conversion of a prodrug to an active drug
Bioactivation
Conversion of a non-toxic substance to a toxic one
Bioactivation (lethal synthesis)
Types of metabolic reactions?
Phase I (nonsynthetic) Phase II (synthetic)
What are the types of Phase I reactions?
Oxidation (most common)
Reduction
Hydrolysis
What is the Phase II reaction?
Conjugation (cats and neonates are deficient)

Drug must go to liver before systemic circulation, so drug is metabolized before distribution is what?
First-pass metabolism
Drugs that stimulate the liver to produce more metabolic enzymes, is reversible, includes microsomal enzymes, and may lead to tolerance or drug-drug interactions?

Renal excretion is dependent on which 3 factors?
Glomerlular filtration rate (GFR)
Active tubular secretion
Passive tubular reabsorption
Volume of distribution equation?
