Exam I Flashcards
Substances intended for use in curing, treating, mitigating, diagnosing, or preventing disease.
Drugs
The product by which a drug is given or administered. (e.g. tablets, capsules, ointments, etc)
Drug dosage form (drug product)
The release of the drug substances from the drug product.
Drug performance
Biopharmaceutics examines the interrelationship of what three things?
- Physical/chemical properties of the drug
- dosage form
- rate and extent of absorption
Repulsive and attractive forces are equal, potential energy is minimum, and the system is most stable at __ to __ angstroms.
3 to 4
Nonionic interaction or charge-charge interaction between molecules
Van der Waals forces
Are Van der Waals forces strong or weak?
weak
Involves a dispersion of charge across a molecule called dipole or permanent dipole
Van der Waals forces
Three types of van der waals forces:
- Keesom
- Debye
- London
Type of force that arises due to differences in electronegativity (e.g. peptide bond)
Permanent dipole
Force between two permanent dipoles when interacting with one another in an ion-like fashion.
Keesom forces
Ability of a permanent dipole to polarize charge in neighboring molecule
Debye forces
Two neighboring neutral molecules induce partial charge distribution
London forces
Interaction between the pi-electron orbitals in a system.
Orbital overlap
Attraction forces that occur between polar or non-polar molecules and ions
Ion-Dipole and Ion-Induced Dipole Forces
Cause the solubility of crystalline substances in water (cation attracts negative O and anion attracts positive H)
Ion-dipole interaction
Force involved in the formation of the iodid complex
Ion-induced dipole forces
Interaction that has effect on physical properties of pharmaceutical agents.
Ion-ion interaction
Interaction between a molecule containing a hydrogen atom and a strongly electronegative atom.
Hydrogen bond
When solids pass directly from solid to gaseous phase without melting at room temperature.
Sublimation
When gases pass directly from gaseous phase to solid phase.
Deposition
