Pharm Flashcards
quantal dose-response
all or nothing- you are either protected or you are not
ED50
where 50% of animals are protected
LD50
kills 50% of animals
chemical vs physical form
same drug cannot be in different chemical forms, but can be in different physical forms
Therapeutic Index
LD50/ED50
ideally 10
margin of safety
LD1/ED99
comparing extremes of the dose response curves to indicate any over lap
Protective Index
=ED50 (undesireable)/ED50 (desireable)
chronicity index
=(1-dose of LD50)/(90-doseLD50)
has to do with clearance
1 is best (total clearance) vs 90 (virtually no clearance)
Threshold dose
apparent all or none phenomenon at a specific threshold dose
–may not be a REAL threshold but an apparent threshold
potency
relative dose required to produce a given effect
(should not be equated with therapeutic superiority)
affinity is one component, but not the whole thing
intrinsic activity
often referred to as efficacy in intact patient; magnitude of maximal response (highest dose)
efficacy is one component, but not whole thing
affinity
K1/K2
efficacy
K3
Chemical antagonism
direct interaction of the agonist and antagonist
functional antagonism
two agonists act independently but lead to opposite biological effects, so kinda cancel each other out (or one takes over)
competitive antagonism
the antagonist binds to the receptor, but elicits no response (affinity, but no efficacy)- however, competes with agonist for binding sites
–eq and non-eq
Eq antagonism
competitive
reversible
can be overcome if dose of against is increase enough
non-eq antagonsim
competitive
irreversible-perm block of agonist binding and receptor function
cannot be overcome by increasing dose ofagonist
non-comp antagonist
antagonist acts at a site other than the site of agonist binding but affects the same process
could also bind to another site on same receptor and alter the ability of the receptor to interact with agonist–“allosteric effect”
inverse antagonist
shifts eq towards inactive
synergy
need more than one to make–>additive
potentiation
the effect of one drug makes another work better
rate of absorption
movement of drug from site of administration to the blood
rate of distribution
delivery of drug from blood to tissues and target sites
bioavailability
amount of drug that actually reaches the target site in a pharmacologically active and bioavailable form
only bioavailable drug
drugs that are not bound to albumin
passive diffusion
down a concentration gradient in non-ionized form; dependent on partition coefficient
filtration
down a pressure gradient
bulk flow
across a cap wall (small molecules)
mechanisms of drug transport across membranes
1) active transport
2) facilitated transport
3) ion pair transport-
4) endocytosis
oral is good for drugs with
high partition coefficient and favorable pKa
stomach only absorps
weak acts
small intestine uses
passive diffusion
5 factors affecting GI absoprtion
gastric emptying time intestinal motility food and food consumption formulations of drugs metabolism & digestion
high partition coefficient means it is
lipophilic
what crosses very readily in lung?
high partition coefficient anesthetics
albumin has
positive and negative charged binding sites
lung receives
100% CO
kidney receives
25%CO
what can cross the BBB
high partition, non-ionized, free drugs can cross
inflammation can increase permeability
half-life
t=0.693/Kel
Volume of distribution
Vd=D/Co (L/Kg)
Clearance
Clp=KelxVd (L/hr/kg)
oral fraction
Foral=AUCoral/AUCiv
Loading Dose
D*=Css x Vd (mg)
Maintenance Dose
MD=Css x Vd x Kel (mg/hr or mg/min)
=Css x Clp (x time interval)
rate of eliminaton
x=xe^(-kt)
if route of elimination is saturated,
drug follows0 order onnects
Vd: 3-5 L
no penetration from plasma
Vd: 12-15 L
no penetration into cells from interstitium
Vd: 30-40L
distributed throughout body water
> 50 L
accumulated in body tissues (e.g. lipophilic)
ares of concern in dosing
time to peak concentration (tmax) in blood
Maximum attained concentration (cmax)
area under curve (AUC)
steady state
independent of dose and depends only on rate of elimination (Kel), so to avoid delay use a loading dose
pro-drug
more active than parent compound
mitomycin C, cyclophosphamide, codeine
Pro-toxin
when metabolized drug turns toxic
aflatoxin B1, benzoapyrene
goal of phase 1 metabolism
make lipophilic drugs more hydrophilic
CYP liver enzymes add groups, oxidate, reduce
phase 2 metabolism
conjugation
take phase 1 metabolite and bind to large, polar glucoronic acid so can be readily excreted from body
occurs predominantly from UDP-GT
