Q

describe hydrogen bonding

A
  • specialized dipole - dipole interactions between slightly positive H attached to heteroatom (N, O) with unpaired electrons of nearby electron donors (N,O)
  • strength depends on distance
  • forces are directional, stronger as X-H bond aligns with orbital holding unpaired electrons
    -stronger interactions in non polar environments

Q

how to create a drug that is ionizable + neutral

A
  • acid base eqiilibirum produces ionized and neutral forms

IONIZED
- acids and bases usually charged at physiological pH making them soluble in water

NEUTRAL
- equilibrium allows them to convert to neutral form to pass through membranes

24

  • detoxify
  • metabolism
  • hydrophobic molecules highly metabolized
25
Q

Drugs to the rest of the body by blood

A
  • blood mostly water
  • lipophilic molecules bind to carrier proteins in blood (plasma protein binding)
  • blood contains hydrolytic enzymes (esterase, H2O TO ESTERS, proteases, H2O TO AMIDE)
26

  • clears hydrophilic
  • doesn’t clear hydrophobic
27

28
Q

Lipinksis rule of 5

A

if 2 or more: not bioavailable

SHOULD NOT HAVE
- more than 5 h bond donors
- more than 10 h bond acceptors
- molecular weight > 500
- C/ log p > 5, MlogP > 4.15

29
Q

hydrogen bond donors vs acceptors in LIPINSKI

A

donors: h is amount of donors
OH
NH

acceptors: only with lone pair
- N, O

30
Q

rationale for h bonds

A

h bond increase water solubility
difficult to cross membrane

31
Q

rationale for molecular weight

A
  • large molecules less soluble (larger cavity in solvents)
  • do not pass through tightly packed membrane
32
Q

rationale for logP

A

water solubility decreases as lipophilicity increases

33
Q

measurements for lipophilicty

A
  • higher, more lipo

Log P
- drug in neutral form
- log( [drug octanol]/[drug water] )

Log D
- drug in physiological pH
- log( [drug octanol]/[drug water] )

34
Q

advantages + disadvantages of Log P AND Log D

A

SEE ANSWER

35
Q

2 common measurement methods

A
  • solutions (separate layers)
  • HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography)
36
Q

what determines water solubility

A
  • pKa: equilibrium constant related to removal of H
  • ionization increases water solubility
37
Q

pH and pKa

A

molecule is protonated when pH < pKa

pKa range between -1.7 to 15.7
full deprotonated vs protonated

ACIDS
- charged when pH > pKa

BASES
- charged when pH < pKa

38
Q

define amphiprotic

A
  • can acts as base or acid
  • water
  • amines are usually bases, can act as acids but not useful in drug industry
39
Q

pH effects on water and lipid solubility

A
  • solubility in water increases as pH increases, increases hydrophilicity
  • solubility in octane decreases as pH increases, decreases lipophilicity
40
Q

what are the 3 factors that influence drug permeability

A
  • rate at which drug passes through lipid membrane
  • solubility, Log P, molecular weight
41
Q

2 most common assays for permeability

A

Caco-2
- for human colon cancer cells
- at a later stage
- more physiologically relevant, similar to intestinal membrane
- more difficult

PAMPA
- easily done + early stage
- good idea for path diffusion
- no physio relevancy: artificial membrane

42
Q

benchmark values of commercial drugs

A
  • FDA uses BCS: Biopharmaceutical Classification System

Class 1:
- receive waiver for bio equivalence + bio availability studies
- ideal for oral dosing

Class 2:
- permeable but not very soluble
- lipophilic: special formations for solubility

Class 3: soluble but not permeable
- hydrophilic
- pro drugs used to improve permeability

Class 4: low solubility + permeability
- expensive + risky
- used in I.V’s, most cancer drugs

43
Q

Metabolic stability: resistance to chemical change

A

Phase I:
- add polar functional groups to reduce lipophilcity
- oxidation: of aliphatic or aromatic groups: electrons rich sites
- cytochrome P450 (heme iron)
- hydrolysis
- add FG to make more reactive

Phase II:
- conjugation, add groups to improve water solubility
- attach large polar molecule to FG from phase I or already existing
- easier to get make and get rid of hydrophilicity than hydrophobic

44
Q

catalytic cycle of enzyme:

A

see diagram

45
Q

Phase II

A
  • adds polar groups
  • makes it easier for kidney to dispose
  • glucuronic acid, sulfonation, acetylation, glutathione

  • half-life measured (T1/2)
  • plasma stability (T1/2)
47
Q

process of optimization

A
  • start with lead structure
  • make related compounds
  • change 1 factor at a time
  • measure potency + properties
  • use patterns in data to identify: site on molecule to change/not change, good/bad modification
48
Q

techniques of molecular modification

A
  • addition/deletion
  • substitution
  • chain extension/contraction
  • ring expansion/contraction

  • similar shapes/size
50
Q

describe classical isosteres

A
  • atoms or groups with same valency and similar size
  • help determine if groups important for binding or not
  • very controlled
  • same group on periodic table
    OH –> F, Cl, SH, NH2, CH3

SEE EXAMPLES

51
Q

describe non classical isosceles (bioisosteres)

A
  • atoms or groups with similar chemical properties
  • differ in electronics + steric
  • can enhance metabolic stability, reduce side effects, etc

SEE EXAMPLES: tetrazole

52
Q

describe chain extension/contraction

A
  • better alignment and better binding to binding site
  • SEE DIAGRAM
53
Q

describe ring expansion and contraction

A
  • can use heteroatoms
  • SEE DIAGRAM
54

  • remove parts that do not affect potency
  • remove stereocenters
  • take into account spacing for proper alignment
  • SEE DIAGRAM
55
Q

stereocenters and racemates

A
  • avoid sterecenters: difficult to manufacture + extra testing
  • racemate: easier to make + test, test both conifgurations
  • test enantiomers as diff compounds BECAUSE THEY SHOW DIFFERENT PROPERTIES
56

A
  • groups that are important for activity, part that is responsible for activity
