Q

How may a patient take omeprazole if they are unable to wholly swallow a capsule?

A

recommend taking drug out of capsule and washing it down with an acidic liquid such as orange juice. Chewing should not be promoted as this will break the coating which helps the drug to work

Q

Action of sulfasalazine

A

a prodrug with a site of action and breaks down in the colon. It breaks down to the active 5-aminosalisilic acid (5-ASA) (mesalazine). Breakdown to 5-ASA done by gut flora. Inhibits prostaglandin and leukotriene biosynthesis

Q

Absorption of sulfasalazine

A

no absorption in stomach as logD is 0.
in ileum molecule does not absorb; too large and so passes to colon
in colon; cleaved to 5-ASA by gut flora. absorbs through aqueous gaps in-between epithelial cells - small molecule.

Q

Direct methods of analysing particle size

A

Sieving
Microscopy; light microscopy(2D images) and electron microscopy (3D images give information on shape but is expensive and a high level of operator expertise is needed)

Q

What are the 4 types of particle size distrubution?

A

Monosized, Normal, Positively skewed, Bimodal

22
Q

What are steroids derived from? Where are they made?

A

derived from lanosterol and produced in the adrenal glands.

23
Q

Steroids used in inflammation

A

are hydrocortisone, budesonide, beclomethasone and prednisolone

24
Q

What does the addition of a halogen do to lipophilicity and logP?

A

addition increases the lipophilicity and increase the logP

25
Q

What does addition of a halogen do to the lipophilicty and logP of a molecule?

A

increases lipophilicity and logP

26
Q

Lipinskis rule of 5 - What makes a drug orally absorbable?

A

A molecular weight less than 500
No more than 5 H bond donor groups
No more than 10 H bond acceptor groups
A calculated log P value less than +5.

27
Q

How do steroids work? What do they act on?

A

Steroids work on inflammation by acting at the glucocorticoid receptor which regulates genes controlling inflammation. Also regulates genes that control development, metabolism.

28
Q

What type of logP do drugs that are administered rectally have?

A

high logP

29
Q

What is classed as acute, persistent and chronic diarrhoea?

A

acute </14 days
persistent >/ 14 days
chronic > 30 days

30
Q

Inflammatory diarrhoea

A

due to infection, radiation injury or IBD.
Mucoid and bloody stool, fever, cramps.
Small frequent bowel movements
Histology of GI tract abnormal

31
Q

Non-inflammatory diarrhoea

A

water, large volume frequent stool, no blood in stool or fever.
Histology is reserved.
Osmotic and secretory diarrhoea

32
Q

What is the difference between osmotic and secretory diarrhoea?

A

Osmotic; Due to malabsorption/maldigestion. Small stool volume. Improves with fasting.
Secretory; altered transport of ions across across mucosa. Doesn’t improve with fasting

33
Q

How does Cholera cause diarrhoea?

A

Cholera toxin, released from Vibrio cholerae enters the enterocytes of the gastrointestinal tract and directly activates a G protein. The G protein activates adenylyl cyclase, this increases cellular cAMP and leads to activation of protein kinase A. PKA causes phosphorylation of chloride channels resulting in their activation. There is increased efflux of chloride ions into the gastrointestinal lumen therefore causing diarrhoea.

34
Q

How does Diphenoxylate work to treat diarrhoea?

A

Diphenoxylate is a mew opioid receptor agonist. It activates opioid receptor on neuronal varicosities, which decrease acetylcholine release. Peristaltic activity is decreased due to the reduction in acetylcholine release. There is also an increase in segmental concentration, which will slow gastrointestinal motility.

35
Q

What is diphenoxylate often formulated with? Why?

A

Atropine, high doses cause nausea therefore reduced chance of addiction and dependance. Atropine allows the drug to cross the blood brain barrier.

36
Q

How is codeine formulated to treat diarrhoea?

A

Formulated as the phosphate salt as it contains a tertiary amine with pKa of approximately 9. Codeine metabolised to morphine, which is mew opioid agonist (will inhibit neurotransmitter release)

37
Q

How does Racecadotril work to relieve diarrhoea and decrease water secretions?

A

Antisecretory drug. Activation of delta opioid receptors decreases the cellular cAMP level. Decreased secretion of Cl- leading to decreased water secretion.
Enkephalins are the endogenous activator of delta opioid receptors.
Racecadotril is a (pro drug) metabolised to thiorphan – an enkephalins inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of enkephalins.

38
Q

How does Linaclotide work to relieve constipation?

A

activates guanylate cyclase C (GC-C). increases cellular cGMP and activation of protein kinase G (PKG). phosphorylation of Cl- channel. Increased efflux of Cl- (and water) therefore giving laxative effect

39
Q

How does Lubiprostone work to relieve constipation?

A

directly activates a Cl- channel (CIC-2). Increased efflux of Cl-. May restore mucosal barrier function

40
Q

The more potent a drug, the __ the ec50 value.

A

lower

41
Q

Determining stock solution equation.

A

M1 x V1 = M2 x V2

42
Q

What is an agonist?

A

binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response.

43
Q

What is an antagonist? Give example

A

occupies the receptor site and preventing binding agonist, thus blocks the action of an agonist.
Myprimine

44
Q

In an mRNA molecule __ are spliced out and __ join together.

A

introns out
exons join

45
Q

Does mRNA or DNA contain the base Uracil instead of Thymine?

A

mRNA contains Uracil
DNA contains Thymine

46
Q

Stop codons

A

UAA UGA UAG

47
Q

What do synonymous and non-synonymous mean in SNP’s

A

Synonymous; do not change the encoded amino acid
Non-synonymous; change the encoded amino acid

48
Q

positive mixture

A

materials that mix spontaneously and irreversibly. Formed from mixtures such as gases and miscible liquids. No energy input required as spontaneously

49
Q

negative mixture

A

components tend to separate - e.g. susupensions

50
Q

neutral mixtures

A

components neither tend to separate nor to mix. Capable of demixing but requires energy input. Example – powders

51
Q

What is granulation? Give some advantages

A

process in which homogenous mixtures of primary powder particles form larger, still homogenous particles called granules.
Advantages include; improves powder flow, prevents segregation and improves compaction, more convenient for storage.
They have a reduced generation of dust which is important for toxic compounds.
