Q

drug metabloisim

A

start of drug clearence occurs in the liver

occurs in the liver

enzyme modification

lipid soluble to water soluble

kidney- get rid of drug

16
Q

the process of drug metabolisim

A

oxidation
reduction
hydrolysis
conjuction

try to get the lipid soluble to be water soluble

17
Q

hepatic first pass effect

A

variable proprotion of orally adminstered drug
that is metabolised by liver before it has an effect on the body

18
Q

renal drug excretion

A

glomerular filtration- only free unbound drugs- not bound to albumin

tubular secretion- drugs may be reabsorbed depending on their lipid solubility- if its lipid soluble will be reabsorbed

tubular

19
Q

drug clearence

A

hepatic + renal + other

20
Q

four regulatory drugs proteins

A

receptors
ion channels
carrier molecules
enzymes

21
Q

receptors

A

lock and key

agonist- increase response
antagonist- stop

22
Q

ion channels

A

block channels- stop action potential maybe

acts as a chemical receptor

23
Q

carrier molecules

A

prevent uptake of carrier molecules - can’t uptake of neurotransmitter

24
Q

enzymes

A

non- competitive inhibitor- denatures the binding site can’t procced at all oftern perment

competitive inhibitor - active site
