Pharmocology

Question 1

what is the first drug mechanism of action (sy)

Answer 1

synthesis:

a drug can act as precursor to increase NT effect.

or

it can inhibit enzymes to decrease NT effect.

Question 2

what is the second drug mechanism of action (st)

Answer 2

Storage:

A drug can block a transporter to decrease NT in vesicle and stop its release.

Question 3

what is the third drug mechanism of action (re)

Answer 3

Release:

a drug can act as docking protein in vesicle to increase NT

or

it can block the docking protein to decrease NT

Question 4

what is the fourth drug mechanism of action (rec)

Answer 4

Receptor interaction:

Drugs can bind to receptors to either increase or decrease the NT effect.

Question 5

what is the fifth drug mechanism of action (in)

Answer 5

Inactivation

drug can stop enzymes in the synaptic cleft to increase NT.

Question 6

what is the drug mechanism of action (reu)

Answer 6

Reuptake

drug can block reuptake transporter to increase NT

Question 7

what is the seventh drug mechanism of action

Answer 7

Degradation

a drug can stop the enzymes in the cell from degrading NT so agonist.

Question 8

What is pharmokinetics (4 steps)

Answer 8

Absorption:
by bloodstream (indirect, slow by lipid soluble)
or
directly to the brain (fast)

Distribution:
the journey of the drug in the system through various tissues

Metabolism
7 mechanism / sites

Excretion.

enzymes

urine, feces, sweat, exhale, breast milk
