Q

In class, what was discussed about dabigatran?

A

Q

In class, what was discussed in regards to metoprolol activity in both men and women?

A

Women have a higher clearance of metoprolol than men, however, they both have the same Emax. (Meaning similar BP reduction from the same dose of metoprolol.)

Shows that differences in PK do not always translate to differences in PD.

30
Q

Which plotting data using different hill factors, the __________ will remain the same, however the shape of the curve will change.

A

EC50

31
Q

In what range will a hill curve vary depending on the hill factor?

A

From 20-80% activity.

32
Q

What does a hill factor above 1 suggest?

A

Positive Cooperativity

33
Q

What does a hill factor below 1 suggest?

A

Negative Cooperativity

34
Q

How does positive cooperativity affect a curve for receptor affinity?

A

It will narrow it and raise the peak. (this is because it increases the number of binding sites when it binds.)

35
Q

How does negative cooperativity affect a curve for receptor affinity?

A

It will widen the curve, and lower the peak. This is because the same number of binding sites are present at all concentrations.

36
Q

What is the slope of an E vs Log concentration plot?

A

m= (Emax * Hill factor) / 4

37
Q

In class, what was discussed about quinidine?

A

Although females typically have a lower plasma concentration when taking this drug, they are more sensitive to QT prolongation.

38
Q

In order to model data using the hill function we need _____.

A

Good data ranging up to nearly the Emax.

39
Q

Who was the father of PKPD?

A

Gerhard Levy

40
Q

How does dose affect the duration of effect in most cases?

A

Increases it

41
Q

How does an increase in K affect the duration of effect?

A

Decreases it.

42
Q

What did J.G. Wagner discover?

A

The equation to calculate Effect.

43
Q

In class what was discussed about enaliprilat.

A

There is a delay between the PK and the effect, due to the drug needing to be converted to its active metabolite.

44
Q

What are the three main examples of simple direct effects:

A
  1. Circulating enzyme/protein activity
  2. Circulating Cell Activity
  3. Rapid Turnover Processes
45
Q

What is Keo in the biophase model?

A

The rate constant between drug acting in plasma and at the hypothetical site of action.

46
Q

How is Fick’s Law of Diffusion utilized in the biophase model?

A

Keo is a first-order rate constant defining the drug access to target sites.

47
Q

When should the biophase model be used?

A
  1. Rapid Turnover rate of PD (EKG, EEG)
  2. Target is located in a tissues (brain or muscle)
48
Q

In lecture, why were opioid mouse trials by Dr. Gary Pollack Mentioned?

A

This study established that related effects were associated with free drug concentration in the brain. (Not the same as the plasma)

Also determined an in vitro to in vivo correlation between EC50 and Ki.

49
Q

Morphine uses ____________ model.

A

Biophase —> Effect is associated with the brain.

50
Q

What is the key point of the Free Drug Hypothesis?

A

Only free drug present in plasma is available to tissues.

51
Q

In class, what was discussed with THC?

A

There is a prolonged effect associated with increasing THC %. This results in a high, but also a dramatic increase in HR.

52
Q

The delay in effect for THC is due to _____________.

A

Hysteresis

53
Q

______ indicates how fast a drug reaches its target site.

A

Keo

54
Q

In the lecture, calcium channel blockers were described to follow what model of pharmacodynamics?

A

The slow reversible binding model.
This is why there is a significant delay in effect after plasma concentrations rise with calcium channel blockers such as benidipine.

55
Q

How was Kd used for in vivo-vitro correlation with calcium channel blockers?

A

By plotting in vivo Kd versus in vitro Kd and finding a direct relationship between the two.

56
Q

If Keo is lower, what will happen to the rate of disposition?

A

It will slow down, leading to a slow rise and decline. (opposite if higher.)

57
Q

What is the basic idea of capturing the biophase.

A

The biophase needs to be captured for drugs undergoing delayed responses. This is needed as drugs with delayed responses will show a curved graph of E vs Cp due to hysteresis.

In these cases we need to plot E vs Ce (concentration in the biophase).

58
Q

Pancuronium pharmacodynamics fit what model?

A

Slow reversible binding model.

59
Q

In Biophase PD profiles:
1. Peak effects are ___________________

  1. Smaller Keo values produce ___
  2. Recession slopes are __
  3. AUC is ___
A
  1. Delayed relative to plasma concentrations and time to peak is the same for all doses.
  2. later peaks.
  3. linear and parallel.
  4. proportional to Ln dose at higher doses.
60
Q

In class, what was discussed about Trefentanil?

A

Its effect plateaus after about 6 minutes, then rises back up to baseline. the purpose of this drug was to hopefully synthesize an opioid with a fast onset, but it was no faster than alfentanil.

61
Q

What model does Piperacillin follow?

65
Q

Pantoprazole uses which model of pharmacodynamics?
