systemic circulation plasma drug concentration

29
Q

therapeutic range

A

concentration of drug that produces the desired effect without causing toxicity

30

38
Q

prodrug

A

inactive drug to active metabolite

39
Q

phase 1 metabolism

A

hydrolysis, reduction, and oxidation (uses CYP450 enzyme group)
- hydrogen proton removal
- addition of oxygen

40
Q

increase in enzyme function

A

becomes more active and metabolizes faster

41

inhibition of enzyme function

A

becomes less active and metabolizes slower

42

phase 2 metabolism

A

conjugation and polarization

43
Q

44
Q

A

elimination proportionate to the drug serum calculation
- elimination/peak plasma concentration

45
Q

zero order elimination kinetics

A

constant rate of elimination/clearance

46
Q

half life

A

time required for drug plasma concentration to decrease by one half
- guideline to estimate frequency of administration

47
Q

pharmacodynamics

A

once the drug is at the receptor and has been distributed; where does therapeutic effect occur

48
Q

affinity

A

“strength”
- specific, saturable, reversible

49
Q

efficacy

A

“effectiveness”
- degree to which drug induces maximum effect

50
Q

potency

A

“strength”
- how much drug is required
- higher potency=less amount needed

51
Q

agonist

A

drug mimics substance
- binds to receptor readily and produces good effects
- can be primary or full
- morphine

52
Q

partial agonist

A

maximum response is smaller even if all receptors occupied
-lower efficacy
- in presence of a full agonist it will act like an antagonist
- buprenorphine

53
Q

inverse agonist

A

induces opposite effect of naturally binding substabce

54
Q

antagonist

A

blocks receptor site to prevent substance from binding
- naloxone

55
Q

tolerance

A
