Final PPT Flashcards
4 types of permeation
1) aqueous diffusion
2) lipid diffusion
3) special carriers
4) endocytosis and exocytosis
pH<pKa
- favors protonated form
- base = charged
- acid = uncharged
pH>pKa
- favors unprotonated form
- base = uncharged
- acid = charged
therapeutic ratio
TD50 / ED50
rational dosing
achieve desired beneficial effect with minimal adverse effects
bond strength is ___ proportional to specificity
indirectly
flux is ___ proportional to concentration
directly
Kd is ___ proportional to drug binding
indirectly
drug safety is ___ proportional to the therapeutic index (TI)
directly
volume of distribution (Vd) is ___ proportional to the concentration of drug outside of the systemic circulation
directly
volume of distribution (Vd)
amount of drug/concentration
clearance
body’s ability to remove drug
1st order elimination
clearance is constant
zero order elimination
rate of elimination is constant (think you want a 0 mortgage RATE) and transporters are full
half life
time to change the drug concentration to half of that
