Q

Rational drug design

Prodrug

Agonist:

Antagonist

A

use of organic molecular synthesis to create drug molecules tailored to fit a known biological receptor.

inactive molecule that is converted to an active

binds to receptor and brings about a biological action.

binds to receptor and blocks the binding of other substances (atropine blocks the binding of acetylcholine).

Q

Drug distribution

endocytosis and exocytosis

A

controlled by many factors: aqueous diffusion, lipid diffusion, special carriers (multidrug-resistant transporters),

(to take in, B12-intrinsic factor)
(to release, neurotransmitter, botulinum toxin).

Q

Free vs. Bound

A

drugs are bound to carrier proteins 10 to 90% bound
Only the free unbound drug is active.
Free drug is active, free drug is toxic.

Q

Permeation diffusion

A

Aqueous- movement thru hole/ pores in membraned, high to low gradient (down)

Q

Fick’s law

A

down concentrain gradient
Mol/time= delta concentratinx Area/thickness/length

Ions/polar/charged drugs= water soluble
Other= lipid
higher fat, faster?

17
Q

Ion trapping

A

weak acid= liver make alkaline for urine to excrete water soluble vice versa

amphetamine- weak base becomes acidic urine
aspirin- weak acids makes urine basic
Drug becomes trapped in urine, not reabsorbed by kidney

18
Q

Drugs used to acidfy urine

A

NH4CL
Ascorbic Acid- Vitamin C
Acid phosphats K-phos

19
Q

Drugs to alkanlize

A

NaHCO3
acetazolamide
Sodium citrate, citric acid

20
Q

Ri receptor inactive’

Ra receptor active

A

Agonists shift Ra form (full agonist)

Partial agonist do not shift the pool. Most receptors in the Ri form. Intinsic efficacy.

Neutral antagonism: keeps the pool in the same Ra and Ri as in the absence of drug

Inverse agonist: drug has stronger affinity for Ri and produces an effect opposite of a full agonist.

4 Postmarket surveillance, drug interations
Most omit ederly and <18yo

24
Q

Orphan Drug Act

A

provided incentives for the pharmaceutical companies to produce and market drugs for diseases with fewer than 200 000 patients.
Fee waived, 50% tax credits
