Q

Choosing diseases

A

-government incentives target orphan diseases
-target diseases that have a large market (make profit; cancer, heart disease)–rare diseases won’t make money
-pharma is made of companies and the first order of buisness is money

-more potent agonist (lower log value) but will produce a response larger than less potent

75
Q

competitive antagonist inhibition

A

competes with agonist for a spot

bind at different site (besides main site) which may change the receptors response to the agonist

CHANGES EFFICACY OF THE RECEPTOR

-no competition so potency of agonist WILL NOT CHANGE

-

77
Q

to compensate for continuous blocking ( & lack of activation) cell will put more receptors on its surface
causing receptors to get up regulate

ex: propranolol

79
Q

Gonadotropin

A

-downregulation
-controls release of lutenizing hormone (LH)
-has pulsatile release
-continuous treatment of leuprolide will cause desensitization (decrease in testosterone= prostate cancer growth)

-saliva
-milk
-sweat

112
Q

renal excretion

A

-glomerular filtration
-active tubular secretion (ion secretion)
-passive reabsorption: (drugs in top 2 steps reach the distal tubule and passively diffuse out of kidney into blood supply and get remetabolized

113
Q

glomerular filtration

A

most drugs are passively filtered into nephron

-renal blood flow (20% cardiac output)
-Plasma protein binding
-such drug is not reabsorbed or additionally secreted, then its clearance would be about 125 ml/minute (GFR)

114
Q

active tubular secretion

A

some drugs are secreted into nephron
-the clearance of such drug can be as high as 600ml/minute

-OAT and OCT (non-specific)
-important for protein bound drugs

115
Q

passive reabsoprtion

A

many drugs passively reabsorbed in the course of urine formation

-drug ionization will affect the extent of this passive reabsorption (move to from higher to lower concentration)

ion trapping (trapping ionized drug can be exploited to speed up removal)

116
Q

biliary excretion

A

active transport systems for basic and acidic compounds are an elimination of ionized compounds and their metabolites

-glucuronides
-high MW weight conjugates

117
Q

entero heptatic recycling

A

-gut bacteria unconjugate metabolites which get transported back to liver

(similar to recovery of bile salts drugs excreted in bile)

activated charcoal interrupts recycling (speed up removal of drug)

118
Q

lungs

A

eliminates gases and volatile substances
ex: gas anesthetics, alcohol

119
Q

factors affecting lung excretion

-glomerular filtration
-diffusion and ion trapping
-active renal secretion
-metabolic enzymatic processes

129
Q

first order processes

A

reach a plateau with repeated doses, avoid reaching toxic levels

130
Q

A

start constant and go above toxic level with repeated dosages, very unpredictable and cannot reach plateau

131
Q

A

time determined by Kel
-describes the decrease in drug when the drug administration is haltered

132

-stimulate metabolism of other drugs
-displace other drugs from albumin binding sites (increase in free v bound drug)
-inhibit oral absorption of other drugs

143
Q

pharmacokinetics

A

study of genetic basis for variation in drug response
affects:
-pharmacokinetics
-pharmacodynamics

144
Q

isoniazid

A

treatment of tuberculosis
-modification of drug by acetylation (phase II liver metabolism)
-variation in genetic alleles for NAT affecting drug half life
-can alter therapeutic and adverse reactions

145
Q

primaquine

A

antimalarial drug forms reactive metabolites inactivated by reduced form of GSH

-can cause hemolytic anemia (lysis of red blood cells)

occurs primarily in patients with deficiency in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

146
Q

A

inhibitor of vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1)

-recycles oxidized vitamin K to its reduced form

147

-95% cases associated with Philadelphia chromosome

148
Q

imatinib

A

inhibits Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase present in philadelphia chromosome

149
Q

tamoxifen

A
