PHARMACOLOGY M1.1 - 1.2 Flashcards

1
Q

can be defined as the study of substances that interact with living systems through chemical processes. These interactions usually occur by binding of the substance to regulatory molecules and activating or inhibiting normal body processes. These substances may be chemicals administered to achieve a beneficial therapeutic effect on some process within the patient or for their toxic effects on regulatory processes in parasites infecting the patient.

45
Q

from the site of administration permits entry of the drug (either directly or indirectly) into plasma.

A

Q

the drug may be biotransformed by metabolism by the liver or other tissues.

A

Elimination

49
Q

ADME Explained

A

Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion

50
Q

For a chemical compound to become a marketable drug, that compound must have favourable properties in addition to efficacy (its therapeutic effect) and safety.

A

Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion

51
Q
  • A compound’s ability to pass through barriers such as the intestinal lining, the nasal lining, the lungs or the skin.
A

ABSORPTION

52
Q
  • How the compound is distributed around the body and its propensity to accumulate in certain tissues or organs.
A

DISTRIBUTION

53
Q
  • How the body breaks down the compound, normally by the liver. The key issues are drug-drug interactions, and the effects of the metabolites (the new chemicals created as a result of metabolism).
A

METABOLISM

54
Q
  • The rate and process through which the compound exits the body.
A

57
Q

(oral, peroral, rectal, etc) need to undergo a liberation process (depending on the dosage form used) prior to absorption. Drugs that undergo absorption, especially via the GI tract need to be in solution.

A

extravascular

58
Q

Explain difference between oral and peroral

A

peroral-direct swallowing the absorption is stomach
oral-inside the mouth the absorption is mouth cavity

59
Q

A

ELIMINATION

66
Q

A

67
Q

provides the fundamental concept of the PK characteristics of drugs based on the degree of ionization as influenced by pH.

A

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

68
Q
  • At low pH (acid environment) weak acids are in their unionized form.
  • The unionized form is more lipophilic, and thus can cross the membrane rapidly and efficiently through passive diffusion.
  • Weak acids remain unionized in the acid region of the GIT (stomach), thus optimum absorption occurs in this area.
  • At high pH (basic environment) weak acids become ionized, thus more polar in character.
  • Excretion is favorable when the drug is in its ionized form.
A

WEAK ACIDS

69
Q
  • are best absorbed in the alkaline region of the GIT (small intestines) because they are in their unionized form. As mentioned earlier, unionized moieties are nonpolar and lipophilic, so can cross the membranes more efficiently.
  • To promote the excretion of weak bases, an acid environment (low pH) is desired since it could make alkaline drugs become more ionized. More ionized forms of the drug are polar and less lipophilic (hydrophilic), and thus are excretable.
  • Permeation across the membrane is an important PK principle that determines the ability of the drug to reach circulation and be distributed to various organs and reach its site of action.
A

WEAK BASES

70
Q

This law describes the passive flux of molecules down a concentration gradient (from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration)

A

72
Q

A

passive

73
Q

utilized a carrier or transporter to cross the membrane

A

active transport and facilitated diffusion (carrier-mediated)

74
Q

Vesicular transport is a mechanism of drug permeation that involves the engulfment of impermeant molecules by the vesicles in the cell membrane via

A

endocytosis (pinocytosis or phagocytosis)

75
Q

Vesicular transport release into the cell, and expulsion of the material via

A

membrane vesicles (exocytosis)

76
Q

Meaning disintegration and dissolution

A

disintegration - time
dissolution - amount

77

Q

The next event leads to understanding how drugs work at the organ and tissue levels, real advances in basic pharmacology during this time were accompanied by an outburst of unscientific claims by manufacturers and marketers of worthless

A

“patent medicines.”

83
Q

The molecular mechanisms of action of many drugs have been

A

identified, and numerous receptors have been isolated, structurally characterized, and cloned

84
Q

It is the relation of the individual’s genetic makeup to his or her response to specific drugs. This leads to several advances in therapeutics such as:

A

1) Investigation of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) as therapeutic agents

2) Short nucleotide chains called antisense oligonucleotides (ANOs), were synthesized to be complementary to natural RNA or DNA
