Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Flashcards
Large molecules
- recombinant engineering techniques
- Parenteral administration with slow tissue distribution- multi-compartment kinetics
- Variable 1/2 lifes
- Mabs have long elimination half lives
- Unique adv effects
Pharmacokinetics phases
- Absorption
- Distribution
- Metabolism
- Excretion
Bioavailability
How much of drug gets into circulation
-100% when IV
=AUCoral/AUCiv x 100
-AUC represents total amt of drug available over time
What must be equal for two drugs to be bioequivalent
Cmax, Tmax, AUC
-
Cholestyramine
resin that goes through GI tract and binds bile acids and other lipids
-Lowers bioavailability of other drugs (like digoxin)
Distribution
Volume of distribution=amt of drug (IV)/C0 (C0- theoretical concentration) -Plasma= .045 L/kg -ECW= .20 -TBW= .6 -Tissue concentration= >.7 (high Vd)
What effects distribution?
- Blood flow to organ, solubility of drug, level of binding to substances in blood vs to substances in tissues
- transporters (active transport system that brings it into certain cell types)
- ion trapping
CYP450
-CYP1, 2, 3 encode enzymes for most drug biotransformations
-
Main enzyme for metabolism
CYP3A4
Extensively expressed in GI cells and liver, and often responsible for poor oral bioavailability (first pass)
Enzyme induction
- increase in enzyme activity due to activating nuclear receptors and upregulation of enzymes and drug transporters
- major cause of drug drug interactions
CYP2C9 induced by
Phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin
CYP2C19 induced by
barbiturates, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin
CYP2E1 induced by
- isoniazid, chronic alcohol
- imp for acetaminophen liver toxicity
CYP3A4 induced by
glucocorticoids, anticonvulsants (barbiturates, phenytoin, carbamazepine, primidone), rifampin, st. john’s wort
Polymorphism leads to decreased activity in which CYP enhances toxicity of warfarin when used in 60 yo chronic alcoholic man
CYP2C9
Key inducers of metabolism
Phenobarbital, primidone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, polycyclic chemicals, glucocorticoids, chronic alcohol, st. john’s wort
Key inhibitors of metabolism
cimetidine, erythromycin, ketoconazole, chloramphenicol, disulfiram, acute alcohol, grapefruit juice
(slow down metabolism)
Deficiency of CYP2C9
increases biological effect of warfarin
Mutation of VKORC1
decreases biological effect of warfarin
Isoniazid ADR due to polymorphism
Causes hepatotoxicity and nuerotoxicity in N-acetyltransferase (NAT2) polymorphism
Mercaptopurine ADR
hematological toxicity when TPMT polymorphism (thiopurine s- methyltransferase)
Irinotecan ADR
Diarrhea or neutropenia when UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) is polymorphic
Codeine ADR
-lack of analgesic effect because polymorphic CYP2D6 won’t be able to convert to active form morphine
Phase 1 metabolism
- changes structure
- CYP enzymes
- oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis
Phase 2 metabolism
-conjugation, adding group
