Pharmacodynamics Flashcards
What is the relationship between the drug dose and plasma concentration?
pharmacokinetics
What is the relationship between the effect site concentration and clinical effect?
pharmacodynamics
What theory unities kinetics and dynamics by examining plasma concentration and effect site concentration?
pharmacobiophasics
What affects pharmokinetics?
absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination
Vd, half lives, metabolism, enzyme induction and inhibition, clearance, steady state, context sensitive half life, degree of ionization, protein binding, ion trapping are all part of what pharmacology theory?
pharmacokinetics
Rate constants between the plasma and effect site make up what theory?
pharmacobiophysics
Potency, efficacy, dose response curve slope, agonist, antagonist, partial agonist, inverse agonist, ED50, LD50, therapeutic index and stereochemistry all make up what theory?
pharmacodynamics
What the body does to the drug?
pharmacokinetics
What the drug does to the body?
pharmacodynamics
What does slope on a dose response curve tell us?
how many receptors need to be occupied to elicit a clinical effect
What does a steep dose response curve tell us?
most receptors need to be occupied to create a response
What medications have a steep dose response curve?
inhaled anesthetics and NMB
What is potency on a dose response curve?
the dose required to achieve a clinical effect
What affects drug potency?
absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and receptor affinity
What are two measures of potency?
ED50 and LD50
What does a left shift on the dose response curve indicate?
increased affinity for receptor-> increased potency, lower dose required for a clinical effect
What does a right shift on the dose response curve indicate?
decreased affinity for the receptor -> decreased potency, higher dose required for a clinical response
What is efficacy on a dose response curve?
a measure of the intrinsic ability of a drug to elicit a given clinical effect
What does the height on a dose response curve indicate?
efficacy
Once a drugs efficacy is reached what can occur if more drug is administered?
toxic levels, not additional effects
What type of agonist binds to a receptor and turns on a specific response?
full agonist
What does a full agonist tell the receptor to do?
produce its maximal response
