PHARMACOLOGY- Pharmacokinectics & Pharmacodynamis Flashcards
In pharmacology, Which are the Enzyme Kinetics?
Michaelis Menten kinetics
Lineweaver Burk plot
Enzyme inhibition
What is the Michaelis Menten kinetics?
Equation describing the rate of enzymatic reactions, by relating reaction rate v to [S], the concentration of a substrate S.
In Michaelis Menten kinetics what is equivalent to Km?
Km is irreversely related to the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate
What is the meaning of Km in Michaelis Menten kinetics?
The Michaelis constant Km is the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half of V\max
What does the Vmax represents in Michaelis Menten kinetics?
Vmax is directly proportional to the enzyme concentration
In graphics which is the form of enzymatic reactions in Michaelis Menten kinetics?
Most enzymatic reactions follow a hyperbolic curve
What does a sigmoid curve indicates in Michaelis Menten kinetics?
Cooperative kinetics (eg. Hemoglobin)
This is the alternative name for Lineweaver–Burk plot
Double reciprocal plot
Which is the proportion of Lineweaver–Burk plot
↑ y intercept, ↓ Vmax
How is Lineweaver–Burk plot interpreted
The further to the right the x intercept (closer to zero), the greater the Km and the lower the affinity
Which are the characters of Enzyme inhibition?
Noncompetitive inhibitor
Competitive inhibitor
Uninhibited
In enzyme inhibition which is the difference between Noncompetitive inhibitor and Competitive inhibitor?
Competitive inhibitor cross each other competitively, whereas Noncompetitive inhibitor do not
How are Competitive inhibitor classifed?
Reversible
Irreversible
What is pharmacokinetics?
The effect of the body on the drug
What is pharmacodynamics?
The effect of the drug on the body
This is the mnemonic of Pharmacokinetics
ADME Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion
Which are the characteristics of Pharmacodynamics?
Receptor binding
Drug efficacy
Drug potency
Toxicity
These are the main points of Pharmacokinetics
Bioavailability
Volume distribution
Half life
Clearance
How is bioavailability abbreviated?
F
What is bioavailability?
Fraction of administered drug that reaches systemic circulation unchaged
If a drug is administer IV, which is the percentage of Bioavailability?
100%
If a drug is administer oraly, which is the percentage of Bioavailability? Why?
F typically < 100% due to imcomplete absorption and first-pass metabolism
What is Vd?
Volume of distribution
What is Volume of distribution?
Theoretical volume occupied by the total absorbed drug amount at the plasma concetration
What is the Apparent Vd of plasma protein?
Bound drugs can be altered by liver and kidney disease
What is the proportion of Protein binding and Volume of distribution?
↓ Protein binding ↑ Vd
How are drugs distibuted?
In more than one compartment
This is the formula for Volume distribution
Vd= Amount of drug in the body/ plasma drug concentration
These are the characteristics of Low of Vd
The drug is found in Blood (4-8 L)
Which are the characteristics of the drug in orger to have Low Vd?
Large charged molecules; plasma protein bound
Where are located the drugs with medium Vd?
ECF
Medium Vd drugs characteristics
Small hydrophilic molecules
This is how High Vd drugs are distributed
All tissues including fat
These are the characteristics of High Vd drugs
Small lipophilic molecules, especially if bound to tissue protein
In pharmacokinetics, what is Hlaf life (t1/2)?
The time required to change the amount of drug in the body by 1/2 during elimination (or constant infusion)
Porperty of first order elimination
Half life
How many half lives does it takes for Drug infused at a constant rate to reach a steady state?
4-5 half lives
How many half lives does it takes to reach 90% of the steady state level?
3.3 half lives
Which is the Half life formula?
t1/2 = 0.693 X Vd / CL
