Pharm Flashcards
Km - michaelis constant
substrate concentration @ 1/2 vmax
high Km
low affinity of enzyme for substrate***
high Vmax
high enzyme concentration
if a reaction follows michaelis-menten kinetics, what kind of curve will it have?
hyperbolic
enzymatic reactions that follow cooperative kinetics - what is an example and what type of curve will they have
EX: hemoglobin
sigmoid curve

Velocity (reaction rate) vs. substrate concenration
lineweaver-burk plot graph
1/V vs. 1/[S]
increasing the y-intercept of lineweaver-burk plot
decrease Vmax
increase to the right x-intercept of lineweaver-burk plot
increase Km = decrease affinity

1/-Km
lineweaver-burk plot slope
Km/Vmax
inhibitors and crossing
competitive inhibitors cross eachother competitively, whereas non-competitive inhibitors do not (on 1/v vs. 1/[s] graph)
which enzyme inhibitors resemble substrate
competitive inhibitors
which enzyme inhibitors overcome by increase [S]
competitive inhibitors
which enzyme inhibitors bind active site
competitive inhibitors
which enzyme inhibitors have an effect on Vmax, and what is the effect
noncompetitive inhibitors decrease Vmax
which enzyme inhibitors have an effect on Km, and what is the effect
competitive inhibitors increase Km (decreasing affinity for substrate)
which enzyme inhibitors decrease potency
competitive inhibitors
which enzyme inhibitors decrease efficacy
noncompetitive inhibitors
fraction of administered drug that reaches systemic circulation unchanged
F = bioavailability
bioavailability for IV dose
F = 100%
bioavailability for oral dose
F < 100% - incomplete absorption and first-pass metabolism
theoretical fluid volume req to maintain the total absorbed drug amount at the plasma concentration
volume of distribution
how to alter vd of plasma protein-bound drugs
liver and kidney disease
decreased protein binding’s effect on Vd
increases Vd
Vd equation
Vd = amount of drug in body/ plasma drug concentration
low Vd (4-8L) distribution and drug types that cause this
blood - large/charged molecules; plasma-protein bound
medium Vd distribution and drug types that cause this
ECF - small hydrophilic molecules
