Lecture 15 - Time Course of Delayed Drug Effect Flashcards
1
Q
Delayed drug effects?
A
pharmaco-kinetics, receptor-kinetics, physio-kinetics
2
Q
Equilibration Half-Life?
A
determined by two factors of the ‘effective compartment’ - volume (organ size, tissue binding) and clearance (blood flow, diffusion)
3
Q
Digoxin volume and clearance?
A
extensive binding in heart to Na/K ATPase; rapid perfusion of heat - slow unbinding causes delayed onset
4
Q
Irreversible Anti-Cancer Agent action?
A
irreversible binding to cell structure, block of cell division/death, slowing or reversal of tumour growth
