17
Q

low drug distribution means

A

retained within vasculature, acidic drug

18
Q

high drug distribution means

A

lipid soluble and distributed to tissues, basic drug

19
Q

Phase 1 metabolism

A

Adding a function group tp make the drug more water soluble (hydrophilic), which is more likely to be excreted by kidneys

20
Q

Reactions in phase 1 metabolism

A
  1. Oxidation (CYP450 enzyme)
  2. Reduction
  3. Hydrolysis
21
Q

Phase 2 metabolism

A

Occurs in the liver, conjugation with endogenous compounds to make it further hydrophilic

22
Q

difference between CYP450 enzyme inducer/inhibitor

A

inhibitor- decreased drug metabolism and increases potential for toxicity

inducer- increases metabolism of drugs and reduce therapeutic concentration

23
Q

Routes for excretion

A

Main: kidneys, urine
Others: feces, expiration, sweat, breast milk

24
Q

Excretion is dependent on

A
  1. Rate of metabolism of drug
  2. Rate of production of urine
  3. PH of urine
25
Q

Half life means, things that can effect half life

A

Time it takes for drug to reach half concentration

  1. renal impairment
  2. age
  3. pregnancy
26
Q

Populations with reduced excretion

A

Renal impairment
Age >50

27
Q

Population with increased excretion and why

A

Pregnant women have increased clearance, increased dose required

metabolism enzyme inducing occurs
larger drug distribution
increased renal clearance

28
Q

Types of drug actions

A
  1. Stimulation
  2. Depression
  3. Irritation
  4. Replacement
  5. Cytotoxic action
29
Q

difference between an acid and base

A

an acid has a proton to give, a base can accept a proton

pKa is pH where the drug is 50% unionised /ionised

administrating the drug in a similar environment will not ionise it

30
Q

factors that affect absorption from the GI tract

A
  1. pH of GI contents
  2. surface area
  3. contact time
  4. blood flow
  5. plasma protein binding
  6. active transport mechanism
  7. formulation
31
Q

what is first pass metabolism

A

reduced bioavailability of oral drugs after being metabolised by the liver and drug concentration is reduced.

32
Q

enterohepatic shunting

A

drug is excreted by liver into bile then into small intestines and reabsorbed by heaptic portal circulation to liver into circulation

33
Q

define bioavailability

A

rate and extent of absorption of drugs reaching the blood by any route

34
Q

drug distribution means

A

moves from blood to other tissue that have no drug (high to low concentration)

35
Q

agonist

A

binds to receptor and causes same action

36
Q

antagonist

A

binds to and blocks receptor preventing a response

37
Q

partial agonist

A

binds to and activates a lower response than a full agonist

38
Q

non competitive antagonist

A

binds to different area to rececptor and blocks response

39
Q

efficacy means

A

ability of drug and receptor to produce resposne

40
Q

ED 50

A

dose that produces a specific effect in 50% of population administered

41
Q

EC 50

A

half maximimal effective concentration

42
Q
A
