Cards

Term
First Order Kinetics
Definition

rate of drug metabolism is directly proportional to the free drug concentration

fraction of the drug is metabolized per unit time

Term
zero- order kinetics
Definition

rate of drug metabolism remains constant

constant amount of drug is metabolized per unit time

ie alcohol

Term
most drugs follow
Definition
first order kinetics
Term

Phase I 

oxidation/reduction

Definition

usually either increases or decreases effectivenss

extensively involved in first-pass metabolism

rapid, enzymatic attack on chemical structure

changes the structure

Term
reactions of drug metabolism happen where?
Definition
primariliy liveer
Term

Phase II

conjugation with other water soluble molecules

Definition

may or may not impact effectivness

durg is conjugated with another chemical that is very water soluble= increases water solubility

Term
Example of a cytocrome
Definition
hemoglobin
Term
CYP3A4/5
Definition

metabolizes 40% of drugs that undergo metabolism

Phase I

Term
CYP2C19
Definition
clopigel
Term
familes of cytocrome P450 enzymes (CYP's) are based on what?
Definition
amino acid sequence similarities
Term
Stimulation of the MFO system
Definition

via induction

which means an increase in enzyme synthesis

 

Term
inhibition of the MFO system is via
Definition

a decrease in the activity of existing enzyme

almost always results of direct competitive antagonist

Term
stimulating drugs
Definition

phenytoin

carbamazepine

rifampin

dexamethasone

Term
inhibiting examples
Definition

cimetidine (Tagamet)

omeprazole (Prilosec)

Erythomycin

Ketaconazole

Ritonavir (Norvir)

Term
Phase II Conjugation Reactions
Definition

glucuronidation

glutathione

amino acid

sulfate

acetylation

methylation

Term
Acetaminophen Metabolism
Definition

1. oxidation

2. reactive intermediate

3. glutathione conjugation

4. hapatic cell death

Term
First- Pass effect occurs when there is a high
Definition
extraction ratio
Term
extraction ratio
Definition
subtract how much is being made by how much is being used (leaves the cell)
Term
excretion happens where?
Definition

kidney

liver (bile)

lungs

excretion from bile is usually when drugs are conjugated and very large

Term
glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
Definition
clearance
Term
clearance
Definition
volume of blood that has been cleared of drug per unit time (ml/sec or ml/min)
Term
what is used to calculate maintainence dose?
Definition
clearance
Term
where does active secretion take place?
Definition
proximal
Term
where does passive reabsorption take place?
Definition
distal portion
Term
Glomerular Filtration
Definition

represents a clearance of plasma

only unbound drug is filtered

plasma protein binding of drug prevents filtration

molecular size 

Term
Proximal tubular secretion
Definition

active transport

organic acids

organic bases

no effect of protein binding on this process

Term
distal tubular reabsorption
Definition

passive transport

pH, conc, size, lipid solubility, ionization

acid urine favors reabsorption of weak acid

Term
Hepatic or Biliary Excretion
Definition

some organic acids and bases are actively secreted into the bile

some drugs are secreted into the bile

glucuronides of steriods and morphine are actively secreted

Term
Entohepatic cycle
Definition

1. portal vein

2. liver

3. common bile duct

4. small intestine

Term
small intestine
Definition

exposed to flora and sometimes bacteria will clip off the conjugated part and ACTIVE drug is reabsorbed

prolongs the half life of a drug

Term
pulmonary excretion factors
Definition

plasma solubility of drug

cardiac output

respiration

 

Term
Things that may alter elimination of drug
Definition

age : renal and hepatic metabolism

renal disease

liver disease

drug interactions

Term
when you turn 50, you los what percent of renal loss every year?
Definition
1%
Term
Clinical important of renal disease
Definition

renal excretion of active drug is = or greater than 50%

if it drops below 50% its not good

drug has low therapeutic index

Term
Clinical importance of liver disease
Definition

parenchymal liver disease

hepatic perfusion: cardiac failure, cirrhosis

affects mainly those drugs with high extraction ratios

Term
rapid acetylators
Definition
chew up drug quickly and keep plasma levels low
Term
slow acetylators
Definition
drug levels will be higher
