Q

Dipole- dipole force

A

Dipole-dipole forces are attractions between polar molecules with permanent dipole moments, where the positive end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of another molecule. (HCl)

Q

Ion-ion force

A

Ion-ion forces are strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions, forming ionic bonds and playing a significant role in the properties of ionic compounds. (NaCl)

Q

Ion-dipole force

A

Ion-dipole forces are bond-like interactions between an ion and a polar molecule, with the ion attracting the charged end of the molecule and repelling the opposite charged end. (NaCl in water)

Q

Van der Waals force

A

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular attractions that arise from temporary fluctuations in electron distribution, inducing attractive forces between molecules, regardless of their polarity or size.

16
Q

Pharmacodynamics

A

study of how the body effects a pharmaceutical drug

17
Q

Stereochemistry

A

The study of stereochemistry focuses on the relationships between stereoisomers, which by definition have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the geometric positioning of the atoms in space.

18
Q

Lipinski’s rule of 5

A
  • molecular mass less than 500 g/mol
  • logP less than 5
  • less than ten hydrogen bond
    acceptors (-O-, -N- etc)
  • less than five hydrogen bond
    donors (NH, OH etc)
19
Q

Trans cellular diffusion

A

Movement of drug through the cells

20
Q

Para cellular diffusion

A

Movement of drug around the cells

21
Q

How does dopamine get into through the BBB?

A

L-DOPA (precurser of Dopamine) is able to pass the BBB. After passing, L-DOPA is converted to Dopamine using DOPA-decarboxylase.

Inhibiter of DOPA-decarboxylase (that cant pass BBB) is neccessary to prevent L-DOPA from being converted to Dopamine before passing the BBB.

22
Q

First pass effect

A

total loss of drug after intestine and liver passage before it enters the blood stream

23
Q

Bioavailibility

A

(F ) = Drug quantity in blood stream/Drug quantity administered

24
Q

Therapeutic window

A

concentration of drug in blood stream for optimal activity

25
Q

Prodrug

A

A prodrug is a pharmacological inactive molecule which, after
intake, undergoes chemical and/or enzymatic transformations in the body into the active pharmaceutical

26
Q

Reasons for developping prodrugs

A

1) Improvement of bioavailability by diminishing first-pass effect
(increase of absorption and decrease of metabolism)
2) Improvement of distribution (membrane passage)
3) Prolongation of activity: slow release, less elimination
4) Reduction of toxicity and side effects
5) Transformation into active pharmaceutical at site of activity
6) Decrease pain of perenteral administration (injection, infusion)
7) Improvement of taste (therapy compliance)

27
Q

Types of prodrugs

A
  • Carrier prodrug
  • Precursor prodrug
  • Antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT)
  • Irradiation activated prodrugs
28
Q

Reasons to develop prodrug

A
  • Stability
  • Absorption
