Pharmacology Flashcards
competitive inhibitors
- resemble substrate
- can be overcome by increasing substrate
- binds active site
- does not affect Vmax
- increases Km
- less potent
competitive inhibitors, irrersible
- resembles substrate
- cant be overcome by increasing substrate
- binds active site
- lowers Vmax
- unchanged Km
- less efficacious
noncompetitive inhibitors
- doesn’t resemble substrate
- cant by overcome by increasing substrate
- does not bind active site
- lowers Vmax
- does not affect Km
- less efficacious
bioavailability (F)
fraction of drug that reaches the systemic circulation
- IV dose = 100%
volume of distribution
volume occupied by total amount of drug in body relative to plasma concentration
Vd equation
Vd = amount of drug/concentration (mg/mg/ml=ml)
low Vd
stays in IV space, large/charged molecules, protein bound
high Vd
in all tissues, small lipophilic molecules
clearance
volume of drug clear per unit time
- can change based on organ function
clearance equation
Cl = rate of elimination / drug concentration (mg/min / mg/ml)
half life equation
t1/2 = Vd*0.693/Cl
loading dose equation
Cp * Vd / F
maintenance dose equation
Cp *CL * dose interval / F
additive drug interaction
A + B = sum of effects
permissive drug interactions
A is required for full B effects
