Pharmacology Flashcards
Km =
[S] at 1/2 Vmax
Lineweaver Burk plot formula
1/V = (Km/Vmax)(1/[S]) + 1/Vmax
A higher Y intercept on a lineweaver Burk plot means
lower vmax
the X intercept of a lineweaver burk plot is
-1/Km. Closer to zero = lower affinity
A high Km means
low affinity
Vd =
(amount of drug in body) / (plasma concentration)
CL =
Vd * Ke
number of half lives to reach 90% steady state
3.3 (first order only)
number of half lives to reach steady state
4-5 (first order only)
T 1/2 =
0.693 Vd/CL (first order)
Loading dose =
(1/F)(Cp*Vd)
Maintenance dose =
(1/F)(CpCLtime interval)
Drugs with zero-order kinetics
PEA: phenytoin, ethanol, aspirin (at high or toxic concentrations)
These are part of sympathetic system but innervated by cholinergic fibers
adrenal medulla (nicotinic) and sweat glands (muscarinic)
these are innervated by Nn (nicotinic) nerves
parasympathetic ganglia, adrenal medulla
these are innervated by Nm (nicotinic) nerves
NMJ
alpha 1 (G, function)
Gq. vascular contraction, close bladder, close GI sphincters, dilate eyes
alpha 2 (G, function)
Gi. reduced symp outflow, decrease insulin, decrease lipolysis, decrease aqueous humor production, increase platelet aggregation
beta 1 (G, function)
Gs. stimulate heart, renin, lipolysis
beta 2 (G, function)
Gs. vasodilate, bronchodilate, increase lipolysis and insulin release, increase aqueous humor, decrease uterine tone, relax ciliary muscle
beta 3 (G, function)
Gs. lipolysis, thermogenesis in SKM
M1 (G, function)
Gq. CNS, enteric
M2 (G, function)
Gi. antagonize heart
M3 (G, function)
Gq. exocrine glands/gut, contract bladder, bronchoconstriction, constrict eyes, contract ciliar muscle (accomodation)
