Pharm 1 Toxicology Flashcards
Paraoxonase
- Enzyme that detoxifies organophosphates (nerve gas, insecticides)
- 25% of asians and 10% of caucasians
IRESSA
Effective in Tx lung CA in asians only
Benzene leukemia protection
CYP2E1 polymorphism
Elite controller
Respond atypically (good or bad)
Low LDL mutation
PCSK protein (lower is better, none is best)
NOCEBO response
Patient’s symptoms worsened by placebo
Quantal dose-response relationship
Effect is either present or absent in a given individual (LD50)
Graded dose-response relationship
BP
Chloroform toxicity
Liver injury
Procarcinogens
Transformed to reactive electrophiles
- Cellular DNA is nucleophile
- Electrophile + nucleophile = mutation
Nongenotoxic carcinogens
Facilitate dormant tumor cell growth, potentiate genotoxic carcinogen effects
Ames test
Determine if a chemical is genotoxic
Allergic reactions
- Type 1
- Type 2
- Type 3
- Type 4
- 1- Anaphylactic
- 2- Cytotoxic (antibody)
- 3- Arthus (immune complex)
- 4- Delayed hypersensitivity (T lymphocytes, macrophages)
Chemical interactions
- Pharmacokinetic
- Pharmacodynamic
- Kinetic- affects absorption, metabolism, or excretion
- Dynamic- affects similar biological response
Potentiating interaction
Increased toxicity in presence of nontoxic chemical
Dispositional antagonism
Alter metabolism to increase excretion and reduce effect
Acute chemical poisoning in children
Half of all poisoning, but only 2% of deaths
Most frequent human poisoning exposure
Analgesics
Drug class producing Delirium
Anticholinergics
Drug class producing Confusion
Salicylate
Drug class producing Agitation
Sympathomimetics
Drug class producing Coma/Somnolence
Cholinergics, Opioids, Sedatives
1 drug related death
Cocaine
Drug poisoning management
- Maintain respiration/circulation
- Keep poison out of critical tissues
- Block toxic effects at receptor sites
Tx patient with neurological disability
Dextrose + Thiamine
Naloxone
Oxygen
Emesis Tx contraindications
- Corrosive agents
- Aspiration risk
- Convulsion risk (stimulants)
- Petroleum distillate
Purgation drug
Sodium Sulfate (osmotic cathartic)
Hemodialysis indication
Methanol, Ethylene Glycol
-Salicylates
Urinary excretion
Alkalize to eliminate Phenobarbital (acid)
Acidify to eliminate Amphetamine (base)
Lead intoxication Tx
EDTA or Dimercaprol
-chelators
Arsenic poisoning Dx
Garlicky breath
-Rice-water stools
Arsenic Tx
Dimercaprol
Arsine gas Dx
Massive hemolysis
Mercury intoxication
Respiratory - cough
Ingestion - Corrosion
-Chronic ingestion - CNS damage, gingivitis, tooth loss
Mercury Tx
Dimercaprol
-Penicillamine for mild intoxication
Cadmium intoxication
Lung damage
-No Tx
Rare earth intoxication
Low blood proteins
High cholesterol
