Q

Why are pro drugs used?

A

Improve how the intended drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, or excreted (more soluble to create parenteral form or improve oral absorption)

Q

-lack intrinsic efficacy. Classically pretreatment with this reduces the maximum response (Emax) – they diminish maximal efficacy
functioning to remove receptors from the system (since they can not be recovered by administering agonist)
-bind to the same receptor site as an agonist but they dissociate very slowly (or not at all) from the receptor site. Covalent binding is frequently involved and no displacement of this by an agonist is possible

A

Q
  • to a receptor at the same site as the agonist normally binds. This binding prevents the agonist from binding. Competitive antagonists are also described as surmountable.
  • shifts the log dose response curve for a full agonist to the right (a parallel shift) – note that the maximum response possible (Emax) is unchanged if sufficient agonist is given to overcome this. The ED50 is increased however.
  • can be displaced (surmounted or overcome) if sufficient agonist is administered

Q

What 2 properties do partial agonists have?

A
  1. Produce max response (which is weaker than tissue max)

2. Capable of ‘displacing’ full agonist (antagonizing it)

Q

agonists have a higher binding affinity for a receptor in the resting state than in the active state (unlike antagonists which bind equally at both states). They abrogate the intrinsic constitutive activity of the free unoccupied receptor

Q

relates drug dose to the size of the response in a single individual
•It also reflects the maximal efficacy of a drug

A

Graded dose response relationship

21
Q

relates drug dose to the proportion of individuals displaying a desired pharmacologic response
•It also reflects the variability of responsiveness among individuals

A

Quantal dose response relationships

22
Q

What can both graded and quantal dose response curve show us?

A

Potency and selectivity of drug action

23
Q

relative term which represents the amount of one drug required to produce a desired level of effect to the amount of a different drug required to produce the same effect (observe EC50 or ED50)

A

Potency

24
Q

relative term which represents the amount of one drug required to produce a desired level of effect to the amount of a different drug required to produce the same effect

A

Efficacy

25
Q

What is a special case of tolerance (acute tolerance)

A

Tachyphylaxis

26
Q

Hyporeactivity resulting from chronic drug exposure. Clinically cross-tolerance is common between drugs producing similar pharmacologic effect

A

Tolerance

27
Q

How can drug absorption be described?

A

Extent of absorption (total amount entering systemic)

Rate of absorption (how quickly drug enters systemic)

28
Q

Beta blockers
Diuretics
Lidocaine

29
Q

How do you inspect rate of absorption?

A

How to you inspect extent of absorption?

A

31
Q

Fraction absorbed into the systemic circulation is the drug’s what?

A

Bioavailability

32
Q

Partition coefficient (absorption and distribution)

33
Q

What links drug concentration to the amount of drug in the body?

A

Apparent volume of distribution (V)

34
Q

Inactive precursors that are metabolized to active metabolites

A

Pro drugs

35
Q

What phase of metabolism is CYPs mainly for?

A

Phase I

A

R(+)

41
Q

What kind of stereoisomers is bupivacaine?

A

What kind of stereoisomers is ketamine?

A

Race mate

43
Q

How to calculate volume of distribution

A

Dose/resulting concentration

44
Q

used when it is desirable to rapidly establish a therapeutic concentration of drug in the body, instead of waiting for the drug to accumulate from a series of maintenance doses.

A

Loading dose

45
Q

When does elimination begin?

A

as soon as first drug molecule enters the central compartment

46
Q

as soon as first drug molecule enters the central compartment

A

First order rate kinetics

47
Q

A constant amount of drug is eliminated per unit time regardless of the amount of drug in the body

A

48
Q

What is the half life equation?
