PBL workshop (1st) Flashcards
what defines the relationship between the administration of a drug, the time-course of its distribution, and the concentration attained in different regions of the body (effects of body on drug)
pharmacokinetics
what is the quantitative description of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and the mechanisms underlying these effects (effects of drug on body)
pharmacodynamics
what is the threshold PC (enough drug enters tissues to interact with receptors and produce effect)
minimal effect concentration (MEC)
what is the driving force for lipid diffusion
concentration gradient
what is the driving force for aqueous diffusion
concentration gradient
what is the rate of diffusion equation
(available surface area X concentration gradient) / (resistance of membrane X thickness of membrane)
what environment do acids readily denote proteins and become deprotonated
aqueous solutions
what happens to a base when put in an aqueous solution
becomes ionized when protonated (accepts protons)
are weak acids excreted faster in alkaline or acidic environment
alkaline
are weak bases excrete faster in acidic or alkaline environment
acidic
what does sodium bicarbonate increase the excretion of
weak acids
what does ammonium chloride increase in the excretion of
weak bases
