Q

A full agonist has an intrinsic value of _

A

1

54
Q

A _____ agonist cannot elicit the maximum response of tissue

A

partial

55
Q

What is an inverse agonist

A

it causes inhibtion of agonist-independent activity; long term treatment with inverse agonists may lead to receptor up-regulation

A

antagonist

57
Q

Antagonists have an intrinsic activity of _

A

0

58
Q

What does a competitive antagonist do?

A

binds to same site so agonist cannot bind

changes Kd but NOT maximum response

59
Q

What does a noncompetitive antagonist do?

A

binds to non-binding site but makes it so agonist cannot bind

decreased maximum response, but Kd stays the same

60
Q

Q

Kd is the?

A

Need a higher dose

79
Q

Converted to Endoxifen via CYP2D6 & CYP3A4/5

85
Q

Slow/fast acetylators are more likely to suffer from isoniazid toxicity (ie. peripheral neuropathy)

slow

86
Q

Thiopurine drugs are used for….

91
Q

Why is G6PD important?

no reduction–> increased risk for hemolysis when exposed to oxidative stress

A

products of rasburicase breakdown include allantoin and hydrogen peroxide, which the body cannot handle if no antioxidants such has NADPH and GSH around
