Module 2 Jan 26 Flashcards

1
Q

Drug altered Response - 4

A

Tolerance - after giving drug, body adjusts, need more to get same effect
Tachyphylaxis - tolerance after short term admin
Down regulation - cell response, remove some receptors, desensitize
Up regulation - cell response, add receptors, more sensitive

Q

Pharmacodynamics - 3, pharmacokinetics - 5

A

Pharmacokinetics - Action of body on drug - Absorb, distribute, metabolize, excrete
Pharmacodynamics - Action of the drug on the body, drug + receptor, Biological response

Q

Drug - Receptor interactions - 2 types, stereoisomers, binding - 2

A

Agonist, antagonist
Same formula, different orientation R and S, mirror image
Me Too drugs often use stereoisomers to re-patent
Binding - lock and key - reversible or non-reversible

Q

Drug effects additive, synergistic, antagonistic, potentiation

A

Additive - Sum of effects
Synergistic - More than the sum of effects
Antagonistic - Less than the individual parts
Potentiation - One has no effect except to enhance the other

Q
Agonist/Antagonist/Affinity/Intrinsic activity
2 types (blocking) Antagonist
A

Affinity - really attracted to receptor (Agonist, Antagonist)
Intrinsic activity - really activates receptor on binding (Agonist)
Partial Agonist - binds and activates, lower maximal effect
Antagonist Competitive - can be overcome by lots of agonist
Irreversible - will not leave receptor

Q

Dose-response curve, ED50, efficacy, potency

A

Dose horizontal log scale, response vertical, S curve
ED50 is dose required for 50% maximal response
Efficacy - max response produced by drug.
Potency - smaller dose for same result. Don’t care

Q

Therapeutic index - 2

A

Space between efficacy curve and toxic curve

Narrow causes clues like a slow titration, be in hospital for titration, med change
