Q

The primary end products of metabolism characteristics?

A

INACTIVE and WATER SOLUBLE

36
Q

What drugs characteristics allows excretion by the kidney?

A

WATER SOLUBLE

37
Q

Metabolism can be divided into 2 reactions

A

Phase I and Phase II

38
Q

What happens during phase I reaction? name them

A

Convert drugs into a MORE POLAR metabolites through Oxidation, reduction or HYDROLYSIS

39
Q

What happens during phase II reaction? name the process involved?

A

Phase II couples or CONJUGATE a parent drug or a phase I metabolite with an ENDOGENOUS SUBSTRATE, to form a water-soluble metabolites that are eliminated in urine or stool.

40
Q

Example of endogenous substrate that may be used by phase II reaciton

A

GLUCORONIC ACID

41
Q

Can a phase I metabolites be excreted without undergoing PHASE II biotransformation?

A

YES

42
Q

Can a Phase II reaction precede or occur without a phase I reaction?

A

YeS

43
Q

Volume of plasma of blood CLEARED of drug per unit of time is

A

HEPATIC CLEARANCE

44
Q

What is hepatic clearance?

A

BLOOD FLOW times the HEPATIC EXTRACTION RATIO

Clearance = Q x E

45
Q

What is the hepatic extraction ratio?

A

Fraction of drug entering the liver that is metabolized.

46
Q

If the extraction ration is 50%, what is hepatic clearance

A

It is half of liver blood flow.

47
Q

Principal organ of excretion

A

Kidneys

48
Q

Kidneys: explain what happens with ionized and unionized fraction of the drug?

A

Ionized fraction of Drug EXCRETED IN URINE

NONionized fraction of drugs get REABSORBED in the RENAL TUBULES

49
Q

What part of kidney are nonionized drugs absorbed at

A

RENAL tubules.

50
Q

The rate of elimination of a drug from kidney excretion is the

A

Renal clearance

51
Q

Renal clearance formula

A

Clearance = Q x E (renal extraction ratio)

52
Q

What is enterohepatic circulation?

A

DRUG excreted into the bile and THEN REABSORBED in the intestine

53
Q

Multi-compartment models provide

A

Mathematical framework to relate drugs dose to a drug concentration overtime

54
Q

2 compartment drug model phases

A

Distribution or ALPHA phase

Elimination or BETA phase

55
Q

Explain the distribution or alpha phase

A

After an initial bolus , there is a RAPID drop in concentration over the first few minutes as drugs quickly DIFFUSES into PERIPHERAL compartments

56
Q

2 compartment graph explanation
x-axis
Y-axis
SHAPE

A

X-axis is the –> TIME after dose
y-axis is the –> PLASMA Concentration
STEEP drop then slow downward slope

57
Q

Explain the Elimination or beta phase

A

Continued drop in concentration but LESS STEEP decline in plasma concentration

58
Q

What is pharmacodynamics

A

How drugs affects the body

59
Q

Concepts of pharmacokinetics are

A
ADME 
Absorption
Distribution
Metabolism
Excretion
60
Q

Concepts of PHARMACODYNAMICS are (PET)

A

POTENCY
EFFICACY
Therapeutic window

61
Q

What does the dose response curve explain?

A

relationship between drug dose and pharmacologic effect

62
Q

The shape of drug dose and pharmacological effect is

A

SIGMOIDAL in a log scale.

63
Q

The sigmoidal shape of the dose response curve means that

A

a certain amount of drug must be present before there is any measurable physiologic response.

64
Q

The left side of the dose response curve is flat until

A

the drug concentration reaches a minimum threshold.

65
Q

The right side of the dose response curve is flat until

A

reflecting the MAXIMUM physiological response of the body.

66
Q

What is the therapeutic window defined as

A

Difference between the concentration associated with a desired therapeutic effect and the concentration associated with a toxic drug response.

67
Q

Therapeutic index is

A

Toxic concentration / therapeutic coencentration

68
Q

What are drug receptors usually made of

A

Usually macromolecules typically proteins that bind a drug and mediate the drug response.

69
Q

Bind a drug

A

Agonist

70
Q

Reverses the effects of the agonist

A

Antagonist

71
Q

Occurs when the ANTAGONIST competes with THE AGONISTS for the binding site , each displacing the other.

A

COMPETITIVE ANTAGONISM

72
Q

WHEN the ANTAGONISTS through COVALENT BINDING or another process PERMANENTLY impaired the drug’s access to the receptor?

A

NONCOMPETITIVE ANTAGONISM

73
Q

Drugs effect is governed by what?

A

FRACTION of receptors occupied

74
Q

Fraction of receptors occupied is based on

A

concentration of drug
Concentration of a receptor
AFFINITY of drug to the receptor.

75
Q

What is the RECEPTOR occupancy importance

A

the first step in mediating the drug effect.

76
Q

Binding of a drug to a receptor can trigger MULTIPLE STEPS including

A

opening or closing of ion channel
activating of a G protein
activating an intracellular kinase
Interaction directly with a cellular structure, binding directly to DNA

77
Q

Prolonged binding and activation of a receptor may lead to (PROLONGED AGONIST)

A

HYPO reactivity (desensitization) and TOLERANCE

78
Q

If the binding of Endogenous ligand is chronically blocked, receptors may proliferate, resulting in (PROLONGED ANTAGONIST)

A
