PMOC DRUGS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND PHASE 1 AND 2 Flashcards
including a clinical condition and treated with the test drug
In vivo
drug activity is tested on isolated tissues or cells
In vitro
compound showing a desired pharmacological property which can be used to initiate a medicinal chemistry project
Lead compound
the science of the properties of the drugs and its effects in the body
Pharmacology
the study of the interaction of drugs with cells
Pharmacodynamics
the handling of a drug within the body, it includes the ADME processes
Pharmacokinetics
in vitro and in vivo testing , determination of LD 50
Toxicity testing
the general area of study concerned with the
formulation, manufacturing, stability and effectiveness of a pharmaceutical dosage form
Pharmaceutics
Genotoxicity screening is performed, as well as investigations on drug absorption and metabolism, the toxicity of the drug’s metabolites, and the speed with which the drug and its metabolites are excreted from the body.
Pre clinical studies
Filed before drug may be given to human (clinical trials)
IND
submitted for review and approval after the
completion of the clinical trials and requirements have
been met.
NDA
plays a central role in the elimination of drugs and other foreign compounds (xenobiotics) from the body
Metabolism / Biotransformation
an essential tool for
pharmacists in their role of
selecting and monitoring Pare appropriate drug therapy for nt their patients
Metabolism / Biotransformation
main site of metabolism and detoxification of
endo/exogenous compounds
Liver
– Metabolism before reaching systemic circulation – Limit the BA of orally administered drugs
First-Pass Effect
– Produceamorewater-
soluble compound
– Produce a molecule that can undergo subsequent
phase II reactions
Phase 1
Pathways to attach polar,ionizable
endogenous compounds
- Glucuronidation
- Sulfation
- Glycine conjugation
Pathways to terminateorattenuate biological activity
Methylation
Acetylation
Protectbodyagainst
chemically reactive compounds
GSH conjugation
Funtionalization phase polar functional groups are introduced into the molecule or unmasked by:
Oxidation, Reduction and Hydrolysis
Pathway for direct functionalization group
Aliphatic and Aromatic hydroxylation
modifying or “unmasking” existing functionalities
⚫ reduction of ketones and aldehydes to
alcohols
⚫ oxidation of alcohols to acids
⚫ hydrolysis of ester and amides to yield
COOH, NH2 and OH groups; reduction of azo and nitro compounds to give NH2 moieties; oxidative N-, O- And S- dealkylation to give NH2. OH and SH groups).
Most are mediated by microsomes. and may refer to the change in
oxidation state of the substrate.
Oxidation
What oxidation reaction is oxygen is incorporated into the drug molecule
Hydroxylation
What oxidation reaction causes the loss of part of
the drug molecule
oxidative deamination, dealkylation
form in vitro after cell homogenization and fractionation of ER
Microsomes
primarily associated with protein synthesis
Rough microsomes
contain a class of oxidative enzymes called MFOs
Smooth microsomes
MFO reducing agents
- NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenine
Dinucleotide Phosphate) - Molecular Oxygen
One mole of this enzyme contains one mole each of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and
flavin adenine dinucleotide • (FAD)
Flavoprotein
Molecular oxygen is also known as
Monooxygenases
Flavoprotient is a electron
transporter
