Tournament 3 Flashcards
Part of the gastrointestinal tract which serves as a reserve area for the absorption of drugs that have escaped absorption proximally because of their physicochemical properties or their dosage form
LARGE INTESTINE
___________ delivery systems place the drug at or near the receptor site
TARGETED
This is the formation of a ring-like structure resulting from the interaction between a partial ring of atoms and a metal
CHELATION
The extent of ionization may be described by
HENDERSON-HASSELBALCH EQUATION
Part of the transdermal drug delivery system that maintains the drug concentration gradient within the device
ADHESIVE LAYER
*formulation matrix
The faster the stomach emptying the
higher the plasma drug concentration
Which of the following gives the correct order of decreasing rate of absorption?
SOLUTION, SUSPENSION, CAPSULE, TABLET
Lying on the left side _________ rate of gastric emptying
DECREASES
The _________ of a single dose of a drug is a function of both the rate and extent of absorption
EFFICACY
Capsule shells become brittle at low ______
HUMIDITY
In modified release dosage forms, this is the rate-limiting step
LIBERATION
The in vitro correlate of drug absorption that indicates the time it takes for a solid dosage form to breakdown into small particles, not necessarily solution
DISINTEGRATION
Modified release tablets alter the __________ of drug release
RATE OR TIMING
For hydrophobic drugs, excessive particle size reduction does not always lead to faster dissolution rate due to formation of
AGGREGATES
In ________, the drug is impregnated into a biodegradable or nonbiodegradable material and is released slowly for localized or systemic effect
INSOLUBLE MATRICES
Generally, drug-cyclodextrin complexes
ARE MORE WATER SOLUBLE
Particle size is __________ related to surface area
INVERSELY
Drug dissolution is described by
NOYES-WHITNEY EQUATION
This is the ability of a drug to exist in more than one crystalline form
POLYMORPHISM
Transport process which is also described as “cell-eating”
PHAGOCYTOSIS
This excipient makes powders adhere to each other and form aggregates
BINDER
The rate of gastric emptying is the rate-limiting step in the dosage form
SOLUTION
