Test 2 Flashcards
Cmax correlates with:
both rate and extent of absorption
bioavailability depends on
both rate and extent
cpmax is decreased by
a decrease in rate of absorption
If the absorption rate for formulation A was SLOWER than formulation B and relative rate of absorption for A was the same as B then:
cman for A would be less than B
if the extent of absorption was LESS for product A than B and relative rate of absorption for A was the same as B then:
cmax for B would be higher than A
Drug A and B bind to the same albumin molecule: A is already being given to pt. what is correct concerning giving drug B
at the same concentrations the drug with the higher Ka will have the lowest Fu
two drugs compete for the same binding site on a protein. what condition would yield higher binding for A than B?
higher [A]
when a drug undergoes hepatic metabolism, the kinetics appear first order when
[drug] are lower than the value of the Km
the effect of Vmax on the rate of drug metabolism when a single bolus dose is given would show:
the observed half life for metabolism would be smaller for larger Vmax values
What is the characteristic of simple competitive inhibition
having the same Vmax, but a larger Km when the inhibitor is present
What 2 things are expected if plotting Cmax(axis) vs % dissolved at 30 minutes
1) as the % dissolved decreased, the max value would decrease
2) as the % dissolved increased, the max value would increase
smoking is considered an environmental enzyme inducer for some drugs. if pt stops smoking after being stabilized on a drug, you expect
drug levels of drug to increase
the classic full crossover bioavailability testing corrects for
the differences between people
a repeated, full crossover design corrects for
BOTH the variability within the same subject and between different subjects
if the full crossover design is not repeated, it does not correct for
variability within the same subject
absolute bioavailability is obtained by comparing results from a particular drug product or dosage for and comparing it to
data from an IV bolus dose
bioavailability of a drug deals with
rate and extent of absorption
relative bioavailability compares
a new product or formulation to an existing formulation
absolute availability could
be qual to zero
can absolute bioavailability be equal to zero?
yes
absolute bioavailability cannot
be greater than 1
absolute availability (F)=1 when
ALL of drug is absorbed
Tmax is
the time of peak plasma concentration
AUC measures
the extent of drug bioavailability
AUC is the area under the drug plasma levels time curve
and is equal to the amount of unchanged drug reaching the general circulation divided by the drug clearance
