Term
What does an increased V(d) imply?
Definition
that the drug will stay in the body longer.
V(d) = drug in body / drug in blood
Term

The Liver has two important drug metabolizing systems:

 

1)Cytochrome P450

 

2) UDP-Glucurinyl Transferase

Definition
1)Cytochrome P450
 
2) UDP-Glucurinyl Transferase
1)_ Fe – Heme monooxygenase enzyme assoc with NADPH   -- - req NADPH and Oxygen
CYP’s also involved in endogenous metabolism )STEROIDS)
-------------------------------------
2) forms glucuronic acid conj. 
Term
***What drug competes for Penicillin's Transport mechanism in the kidney, thereby retaining it in the body?
Definition
Probenecid--
Term

In order to treat a drug overdose, we can alter Urine PH:

 

1) Acidify Urine

 

2) Alkalinize urine

Definition

1)  Enhances excretion of BASIC DRUGS

 

2) Enhances excretion of ACIDIC DRUGS

Term

Biotransformation of a drug most generally leads to:

 

 

Definition
A decrease in the duration of drug in body
Term

An Acidic Drug (pka 3.4) is going to be more: (Ionized/NonIonized)

 

At pH 8.9?

Definition

ionized

 

*** BASIC DRUGS WILL IONIZE TOWADS ACID

 

ACID DRUGS WILL IONIZE TOWARDS BASIC***

Term
A basic drug will be more inonized or nonionized at PH 9.9?
Definition

more nonionized

 

*** BASIC DRUGS WILL IONIZE TOWADS ACID

 

ACID DRUGS WILL IONIZE TOWARDS BASIC***

 

Term
what is the relationship between pka and ionized:nonionized ratio?
Definition

at pH = PKA, the ration is 1:1

 

for every unit of pH away from PKA, the ration increases 10 fold

 

acid drugs ionize at basic cond

 

basic drugs ionize at acid cond

Term
Acidic drugs tend to conc. on which side of the conc. gradient over a memb?
Definition

Acid --> HIGH PH - BASIC

 

Basic --> Low PH - ACIDIC

Term
What is required to get a net transfer of drug across a memb barrier by passive diffusion?
Definition
a higher conc of NONIONIZED drug on one side of memb

the MORE LIPOPHILIC, the FASTER it diffuses
Term

A first order elimination process follows a ________ elimination

 

 

A ZERO order elimination follows a _______ elimination

 ---This occurs WHEN?

Definition

1) Logarithmic elimination

 

 2)  LINEAR  --  OVERDOSE SITUATION -- when the tp system is SATURATED

Term

Clearance (ml/min)

 

formula:

 

2) What is the glomerular filtration rate?

3) hepatic?

Definition

D / AUC

 

D=Tissue distribution

AUC = Area under curve

 

2) 125 ml/min

3)1500 ml/min

 

***If a drug is expelled by kidney, and the clearance exceeds 125 ml/min, it is beacuse of SECRETION 

Term
***It takes ___ half-lives to reach the steady state***
Definition

4

 

The same is true any time the dose is altered

 

ALL DRUGS

Term
Difference between
Clearance

Half-Life

Volume of Distribution
Definition
CLEARANCE - measures TOTAL EFFICIENCY by which the body removes a drug

Half- Life expresses the rate by which a drug is removed from body

Vol of Dist -- How much drug is in tissue vs blood
Term
_____ is the sole determinant of the time it takes to reach steady state in blood conc.
Definition
Halflife
Term
____ can help reach therapeutic range, but not steady state conc faster
Definition
Loading dose
Term
Loading dose can help reach ------, but not ------ faster
Definition
therapeutic range

teady state conc
Term
Blood conc at _______ are governed by DOSE, dose interal, halflife, bioavailability, and vol of distribution
Definition
steady state
Term
The RATE OF CLEARANCE in:

Renal eliminated drugs are governed by ____


Hepatically eliminated drugs _____
Definition
1) Completely by kidney func.

2) MAINLY by activity of metabolizing enzymes
Term
_____ = Due to allelic variation at a single gene
Definition
monogenic
Term
due to variations at 2 or more genes
Definition
polygenic
Term
frequently occurring monogenic variants occurring at a frequency >1%
Definition
polymorphic
Term
SNP
Definition
single nucleotide polymorphism
over 2 million in human genome
(mutation at a single gene)
Term
Codeine is useless as a painkiller in 10% of the pop B/c _________.

The anticancer drug 6-MERCAPTOPURINE (AZATHIOPRINE) is toxic in a small fraction of the pop bc ____
Definition
rapid metabolism through CYP2D6

MONOGENIC INHERITANCE OF THIOPURINE METHYLETRANSFERASE (TMPT)
Term
The breast cancer drug _____ is only effective in cancer cells that overexpress HER2 gene
Definition
herceptin
Term
The right drug -- for cancer is influenced by enzyme ___
Definition
TPMT -- Thiopurine methyltransferase

Low TPMT = increased thiopurine toxicity and increased risk for secondary cancer

HIGH = decreased theraputic effect
Term
the most perscribed drug in the world, that treates cardiovascular dz is:
Definition
STATINS -- HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors

Reduces "bad" cholesterol in bloodstream.
Term
__2___ = gene affectin Warfarin
Definition
VKORC1

Warfarin exerts its pharm affect by inhibiting VKORC1, which is the vit K cycle enzyme controlling the regeneration of of reduced vit K -- essential for clott form.

VKORC1 mutation can cause Warfarin RESISTANCE

CYP2C9 gene mutation = SENSITIVITY
Term
