Pharm Flashcards
Michaelis menten constant (Km) =
[S] at 1/2 Vmax
Km relationship to affinity of enzyme for substrate
inverse - high affinity is low Km
Lineweaver-Burk plot - what does it show
reciprocal plot of Michaelis Menten curve (1/V vs 1/[S])
(non)competitive inhibitors - effects on efficacy vs potency
competitive dec potency
noncompetitive dec efficacy
volume of distribution eqn
= amt of drug in body / plasma drug conc
it is the amt of volume needed to contain the drug at the observed conc
how many half lives to reach steady state drug conc
4-5 half lives
eqn to calc half life
= 0.7 * Vd / Cl
Cl = clearance
eqns for loading and maintenance doses
loading = Cp x Vd/F maintenance = Cp x CL/F
F is bioavailability
3 drugs eliminated by zero order kinetics
phenytoin, ETOH, aspirin
PEA
phase 1 vs 2 of drug metabolism
1 - reduction, oxidation, hydrolysis by CYP450. Product still usually active. Geriatic pts lose this first
2 - conjugation (glucuronidation, acetylation, sulfation). product not usually active and ready to be excreted
G protein classes of SYNS, PSNS, DA, histamine, and vasopressin receptors
QISS and QIQ till you're SIQ of SQS alpha 1 - Q alpha 2 - I beta 1 - S beta 2 - S M1 - Q M2 - I M3 - Q D1 - S D2 - I H1 - Q H2 - S V1 - Q V2 - S
alpha 2 action
dec symp outflow
dec insulin release, lipolysis
inc platelet aggregation
M1 and M2 actions
M1 - CNS, enteric NS
M2 - dec HR and contractility
D1 vs D2 action
D1 - relax renal vascular smooth muscle
D2 - NT release, esp in brain
V1 vs V2 action
V1 - inc vascular smooth muscle contraction
V2 - ADH action in kidneys

carbachol - mech use
direct cholinomimetic
glaucoma, pupillary contraction, relief of IOP
pilocarpine - mech use
direct cholinomimetic
stimulates secrections, glaucoma
methacholine - mech use
direct cholinomimetic
