EXAM I Flashcards
T/F. Drugs that enter the GI system may interact with material in GIT, get into intestinal juice, be carried through the GI tract, interact with GI microbes, reach systemic circulation.
True
T/F. Ionization depends on the pKa of the drug and the pH of the medium.
True
What are the factors related to drug that affect drug absorption? What are the factor related to animals that affect drug absorption?
Drug: molecular size (small moves easily), disintegration and dissolution (lipid, powder, tab), lipid solubility, degree of ionization, concentration at absorptive site, route of administration
MUCOSAL IS THE FASTEST AND ORAL IS THE SLOWEST
Animals: blood flow (great absorption with greater blood flow), absorbing SA, CT, species, individual variation, fasted vs fed.
How is drug response quantified? What are the seven factors involved in this?
Measured and will typically give a curve (sigmoidal curve, straight portion between 20%-80% > therapeutic range)
Efficacy, Potency, Effective Concentration 50%, Effective Dose 50%, Therapeutic index is the LD50:ED50, Onset of action, Duration of action
What are the four common routes to undergo absorption to get from the site of administration to the bloodstream?
Enteral, Parenteral, Transdermal, and respiratory absorption
What are the FOUR mechanisms of “Transport across cell membrane”?
Simple/passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, pinocytosis
T/F. Membranes are more permeable to ionized forms of drugs than non-ionized forms.
False. More permeable to non-ionized forms.
What is NOT a characteristic of BBB?
A. Right junctions between capillary endothelial cells and glial cell (force drugs to cross cell membrane to enter).
B. CSF is produced once in lifetime.
C. Active transport (P-gp) is responsbile for drug efflux out of the CNS.
D. If a drug crosses BBB, it can cross placental barriers.
B. CSF is produced once in lifetime.
Constantly produced and drains out of venous circulation (diluting things that do come through)
What is bioinactivation? What is bioactivation and what are the components?
Bioinactivation: not biologically active format
Bioactivation: can be inactive drug (prodrug) to active metabolite or active drug (parent drug) to active metabolite or nontoxic to toxic metabolites (lethal synthesis > oragnophosphate insecticide)
What are the five factors related to animal species?
Anatomical, Physiological, Biochemical, Behavior, Pharmacodynamic, Ectotherms (cold-blodded animals) vs mammals
Match the correct terms.
A. Summation B. Synergism C. Antagonism
- Additive effect: Drug A + Drug B > A+B
- Drug A + Drug B
- Additive effect: Drug A + Drug B = A+B
1 - B
2 -C
3 - A
What are the two outcomes of metabolism?
Physiocochmecial properties and phamacological activity
T/F. Large Vd indicates that the drug is not being distributed to all tissues of the body (drugs remain mostly in the plasma). Small Vd indicates that the drug is distributed somewhere or sequestered.
False.
Small Vd: stays in plasma
Large Vd: distributed to peripheral tissues/sequestered
Which drug are collies sensitive to?
ivermectin
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of simple/passive diffusion?
A. Paracellular movement (intercellular aqueous channels; specialized intercellular junctions).
B. Transmembrane movement (diffusion through lipid membrane and aqueous protein channels; bulk flow due to osmotic or hydrostatic differences)
C. Movement with a concentration gradient (from high to low).
D. Lipid/water partition coefficient: relative solubility of a drug in lipis compared to water.
E. Diffusion coefficient: Carrier and channel mediated.
E. Diffusion coefficient: Carrier and channel mediated.
Diffusion coefficient: diffusional mobility of a partical molecule (molecular size, molecular conformation, degree of ionization).
T/F. Ion trapping: weak acids are absorbed form an acidic environment and sequestered in an alkaline medium. Weak bases are absorbed from an alkaline environment and sequestered in an acid medium.
TRUE
Why do you have to consider using a lower dose of lipophilic drugs in obese patients?
Redistribution into fat (stays longer in the system, therefore, overdose may occur)
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of active transport?
A. Carrier-mediated transport.
B. Saturable and movement against a concentration gradient.
C. Requires energy.
D. Primary active transport uses energy directly from ATP and consists of symporters and antiporters.
E. Secondary active transport uses stored energy (Na+ electrochemical gradient).
D. Primary active transport uses energy directly from ATP and consists of symporters and antiporters.
Uses energy directly from ATP BUT symporters and antiporters are Secondary Active Transport characteristics.
What are the three ways to administer drugs for parenteral route?
IM, SC, IP
Which of the following is INCORRECT about Effective Dose 50%?
A. Dose that produces a result (maximal effect) in 50% of the animals
B. in VIVO, observed effect
C. LD50 is the dose which kills 50% of animals (effect is death)
A. Dose that produces a result (maximal effect) in 50% of the animals
DESIRED EFFECT, not maximal effect!
What is drug displacement?
Knocking off of from its binding site on albumin space (phenylbutazone and warfarin in horses)
T/F. Proteins that are embedded on cell membrane will sink or float, depending on theri characteristics. Tachyphylaxis may happen due to proteins sinking, leaving with a few receptors to being to drugs.
True.
T/F. Only the free drug is active and the normal dosing and disposition are predicted based on the expected degree of protein binding.
True
What is NOT a correct statement about tubular reabosorption for excretion?
A. Involves proximal and distal convoluted tubules.
B. Active diffusion in distal tubules and time dependent of pinocytosis.
C. Reabsorption of lipid-soluble and non-ionized drugs.
D. Fluids and diuretics enhance drug renal excretion by reducing the time for reabsorption.
B. Active diffusion in distal tubules and time dependent of pinocytosis.
Passive diffusion in distal tubules and concentration dependent of pinocytosis
