25
Describe Diphenhydramine
pKa 9.0 at physiologic pH 7.4 -unionized or lipophilic
26
Describe Loratadine
-second generation antihistamine -pKa 4.3 and therefore largely ionized at physiologic pH 7.4 therefore will not penetrate membranes
27
what is required for drug to bind to receptor site
-ionized -water soluble
28
Where does AKA( acetylsalicylic acid, Aspirin) primarily get absorbed
stomach in unionized form -AKA is a weak acid
29
where does weak acid get absorbed
stomach
30
where does weak base get absorb
intestine
31
where does Qunidine HCL (anything that end in HCl is a weak base) or sulfate get absorbed
intestine -because it is a weak base
32
where does Na Phenobarbital get absorbed
stoamch -because it is a weak acid
33
Describe Thiopental
-Highly lipid soluble molecule -Rapidly redistributes through muscle, brain -Most rapid onset of action (because its very lipid soluble so it ADME very fast) -Shortest duration of action -Use: preanesthetic prior to surgery -Use: minor surgical procedures
34
When is the ionization of Aspirin greatest
Greastest at alkaline pH - Aspirin is a weak acid, pka is 3.5
35
What type of oral drug gets absorbed faster
Enteric- coated tablets -they should not be broken in half because it causes drug to be absorbed at higher doasage faster rather than a low control rate over certain period of time.
36
Oral drugs rate of absorption slow to fast
fastest- liquids, elixirs, and syrups slowest-Enteric coated tablets
37
Define bioavailability
function of unchanged drug (free drug) reaching systemic circulation following administration by any route -the proportion of the drug in a dosage form available to the body
38
What route of drug administration has 100% bioavailability
i.v injection
39
where is the rate of absorption slowest
rectum
40
Explain how tetracycline absorption an be inhibited
-tetracycline is an oral antibiotics -when administered with dairy products, divalent, trivalent ions result in “chelation", which means that the drug remains in the stomach and does NOT get absorbed. The blood level of the drug is decreased so you do not get the physiological effect of the drug.
41
Trabinafine
-antifungal -Food may enhance absorption ie oral antifungal drugs
42
what drug is commonly use to treat lyme disease
doxycycline
43
Enteral
oral
44
parental
any route other than oral
45
What is the 1st and 2nd fastest route for absorption into the systemic circulation
1- iv 2-sublingual
46
describe first pass effect
The metabolism of a drug and its passage from the liver into the circulation. -NOT all drugs go through the first pass effect -drug given IV bypasses the liver, preventing the first-pass effect from taking place, and more drug reaches the circulation.
47
Describe the sublingual absorption
-Venous drainage from the mouth is to superior vena cava bypasses portal circulation and first pass effect -ex: Nitroglycerin (drug used to treat chest pain), nonioinic, high lipid solubility -Isosorbide Dinitrate -Isoproterenol -Ergot Alkaloids
48
Lidocaine and epinepherine
- an example of how the effectiviness of a drug is altered by the use of another drug -the purpose of using epineherine is to keep lidocaine in the area longer this method can have a negative effect with those with poor circulation because the epineherine would further decrease the blood flow at the area causing ischemia and gangrene
49
Describe first order kinetics of elimination
-Plasma concentration decreases EXPONENTIALLY with time -Rate of elimination is proportional to drug concentration -Rate of elimination is dependent on concentration; Drugs: “all”drugs -Constant fraction of drug eliminated per unit time. -MOST DRUG ARE FIRST ORDER
50
Describe zero order kinetics of elimination
-Rate of elimination is constant regardless of concentration -Plasma concentration decreases LINEARLY with time -Rate of elimination is independent of concentration -Constant amount of drug eliminated per unit time -Drugs: ASA at high toxic concentrations, phenytoin, ethanol
51
What is distribution
The transport of a drug in the body by the bloodstream to its site of action. -Protein-binding=protein binding to the protein -Drugs “gravitate toward opposite”= drug goes towards opposite ph -
52
what important protein found in the blood that drugs ofter bind to
albumin
53
Example of drug that is highly protein bound
-warfarin (anti coagulant) -Aminodarone (antiarrthymic) -Fluoxetine (anti depressant)
54
Drug-Drug Interactions
-occurs in distribution phase when the drug is in the systemic circulation -IMPORTANT EXAMPLE: Aspirin kicks kicks off warfarin off of the protein binding site, so aspirin binds to receptor site and causes increase in its physiological effect (anti coagulant) so the patient would need blood NEVER TAKE ASPIRIN WHILE TAKING WARFARIN
55
What happens when drugs bind to protein, ex: albumin
-becomes biologically inactive -the free drug in the blood is biologically active
56
under what conditions can water soluble drug cross the BBB
when patient has meingitis because the BBB is compromised (BBB normally allow lipid soluble drugs to cross- like eevry other membrane)`
57
First generation antihistamine
diphenhydramine is non ionized -(pKa 9.0) cause CNS depression and sedation, drug has tertiary amino group that makes drug very lipohilic and therefore unionized, crosses BBB
58
Second generation antihistamine
Loratadine is ionized -achieve far lower brain concentrations and therefore are non sedating
59
Placental Transfer of Drugs
Fetal plasma is highly more acidic than that of the mother (pH 7.0-7.2 versus 7.4) so ion trapping of basic drugs occurs, remember drug does towards the opposite pH, so basic drug goes towards acidic environment
60
define volume of distribution
used to quantify the distribution of a drug between plasma and the rest of the body after oral or parenteral dosing -amount of drug in body/ concentration of drug in the blood -It is better to have larger vd because the drug has longer duration of action. Small vd= drug retained inside plasma large vd= drug retained outside plasma
61
Where are drug metabolized
liver
62
Metabolism phase
-Phase 1 Metabolism CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 -Phase 2 uridine diphosphate- glucuronosytransferase (UGT)=renders drug wategr soluble -Metabolism by phase 1 and phase 2 result in a highly water soluble compound -Metabolism also terminates biologic activity -Conjugates are hydrophilic and eliminate in the bile or urine
63
Metabolism Enzyme Induction important example
Barbiturates ie Phenobarbital- barbiturate taken with birth control can have altered affects because the barbiturate is an enzyme inducer so it increases the metabolism rate of the liver. Therefore, the rate of clearing of the birth control is increased. If the plasma level of the birth control is below the therapeutic level, the person is NOT protect and could get pregnant
64
Metabolism Enzyme inhibition example
Erthtomyocin taken with drug A will cause decrease metabolism of Drug A so there will be an increase in the plasma concentration of drug A which can lead to toxicity
65
examples of enzyme inducers
 Phenobarbital  Nicotine  Rifampin  Phenytoin  Carbamazepine  St. John’s wort= herbal anti depressant  Chronic ethanol consumption
66
example of enzyme inhibitor
 Erythromycin  Ciprofloxacin (least) , all fluoroquinolones  Ketoconazole, Itraconazole, Fluconazole  Quinidine  Cimetidine  Omeprazole  Ritonavir  Chloramphenicol  Acute alcohol intoxication  Grape-fruit juice
67
Isoenzyme p450- CYP2C9
Ibuprofen phenytonin tolbutamine warfarin
68
Isoenzyme p450- CYP2C19
Omeprazole
69
Isoenzyme p450- CYP2D6
Clozapine Codeine debrisoquine metaoprolol
70
Isoenzyme p450- CYP3A4/5
Ciclosporin losartan nifedipine tertenadine
71
example for oxidation reactions for phase 1
N-Dealkylation O- Dealkylation Aliphatic hydroxylation Aromatic hydroxylation N- Oxidation S- Oxidation Deamination
72
Hydroxylation is example of what phase of metabolism
Phase 1
73
example of conjugation reaction for phase 2
Glucronidation Sulfation Acetylation (O,N, and S)Methylation Glutathionylation
74
what is a prodrug
Pro drug means that the drug requires activation by the liver. Drug is biologicaly active when it enters the body but requires activation by liver enzymes Example:  Cyclophosphamide (anti-tumor drug)  Clopidorgel (antiplatelet drug)  Chloral Hydrate
75
what is the main organ of excretion
kidney
76
explain difference in Thiazides diuretics and loop diuretics
They both have the same function but operate at different part of the kidney Thiazides=distal loop=loop of Henle -Loop diuretics is more potent than thiazides diuretics because 15% of reabsorption occur at loop of Helne(asceding) while only 5% occur at distal tubule
77
what is required for reabsorption to occur
drugs must be unionized in the lipid soluble form, will go to back into blood stream into systemic circulation
78
what is required for excretion to occur
drugs will be ionized, therefore unable to pass membrane, stay in tubule and be excreted in urine
79
Secretion
Active movement of drug from systemic circulation into early distal tubule  Hyperuricemia: Probenecid actively binds to uric acid and secretion occurs at early distal tubule  Penicillin: actively is secreted at early distal tubule therefore difficult to attain blood levels  Probenecid and Penicillin effect, Probenecoid is a uricosuric agent that takes uric acid at the same place as penicillin and promotes the excretion of the uric acid. The purpose is keep penicillin in the blood longer
80
phenobarital
-enzyme inducer -barbiturate -treats epilespsy
81
if you overdose on ASA, what is the treatment
Sodium Bicarbonate. using a basic treatment alters the urine to become more basic, this causes the acid drug to ionized so it remain in the tubule and will be excreted via urine, remember the drug go towards the opposite, so the acid drug will go towards the basic drug
82
Barbiturate (sodium phenobarbital) overdose, what is the treatment
Sodium Bicarbonate
83
Quinidine Sulfate overdose, what is the treatment
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) or ammonium chloride
84
Quinidine Sulfate
this drug has sulfate attached which means it is a weak base. To get rid of the drug you need to acidify the urine.
85
sodium phenobarbital
has sodium attached to the name so its a weak acid to get rid of the drug you would have to alkaline the drug
86
Enterohepatic Cycling
DRUG IS NOT WATER SOLUBLE ENOUGH TO BE ELIMINATED AND THEREFORE PRESENTS BACK TO LIVER FOR FURTHER CHEMICAL REACTIONS IE DIGOXIN, PREDNISONE
87

88
how many half lives to remove drug from body
5
89
Half-Life
The time it takes for one half of the original amount of a drug in the body to be removed.  A measure of the rate at which drugs are removed from the body.
90
what is needed for metabolism of succinyl choline
Pseudocholinesterase: needed for metabolism of succinyl choline ( causes skeletal muscle relaxation). Deficiency of enzyme results in skeletal muscle paralysis -succinyl choline is given during anathesia
91
what enzyme is deficient in Af. American that causes hemolytic anemia with antimalarial drugs
Glucose 6 phosphate dehydorgenase deficiency
92
Therapeutic index
-The ratio between a drug’s therapeutic benefits and its toxic effects
93
do you want a wide or narrow therapeutic range
wide
94
Tolerance
A decreasing response to repetitive drug doses ie nitrates, antihistamines  Test for tolerance: discontinue drug for 1-2 months then begin normal dose  Mechanism: enzyme induction Rapidly emerging tolerance ie bretylium (used to treat arthymia
