Term
Pharmacogenetics
Definition
In ______, individuals show differing drug responses
Term
Pharmacokinetics
Definition
this term refers to how the drug gets moved about in the body and relates to Rate of
Absorption
Transport
Metabolism
Excretion
Term
Pharmacodynamics
Definition
this term refers to the variation in therapeutic response to the drug
Variation in the drug’s targets
Receptors
Enzymes
Pathways
Term
cytochrome p450 family
Definition
Phase I metabolism of xenobiotics
56 different enzymes 56 separate genes
Heme proteins
Located in liver
Catalyze redox reactions using NADPH
Add O to C,N or S
Most common reaction is hydroxylation
Hydroxylation is common in Phase I metabolism
Introduction of polar (O) group
Permits Phase II (addition of Glc, AcOH etc.)
Term
CYP1, CYP2 & CYP3
Definition
what are the three most important cytochrome families that act against the widest variety of drugs?
Term
CYP3A4
Definition
Which specific cytochrome family detoxifies the largest percentage of drugs?
Term
poor
Definition
this type of chromosome response leads to a risk of toxicity with standard dose
Term
ultrafast
Definition
this type of chromosome response leads to a risk of sub-therapeutic levels at standard dose
Term
morphine
Definition
codeine is hydroxylated to?
Term
Camptothecin
Definition
is a topioisomerase inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy
High levels can lead to bone marrow and GI toxicity
Product of gene UGT1A1 conjugates this drug and permits its excretion with bile
Term
VNTR
Definition
____ in TATA box results in variation in gene transcription
Term
6, 7
Definition
UGT1A1*1 has _ repeats (normal)
UGT1A1*28 has _ repeats (reduced transcription)
Term
UGT1A1*28
Definition
has 5 times the normal risk of complications with camptothecin therapy
Term
Isoniazid
Definition
is used to treat Tuberculosis
Impaired metabolism can lead to peripheral neuropathy and bone marrow suppression
Elevated metabolism results in poor curative value for TB (this is an example of N-Acetyltransferase Polymorphism)Allelic differences in the NAT2 gene
3 slow alleles are common
Also many rare ones
Also “rapid” metabolizers
Term
(Hydralazine, Dapsone)
Definition
Fast acetylators need higher doses of (2)?
Term
Lupus Erythematosus
Definition
Slow Acetylators at risk of
___ ____ like syndrome
Term
thiopurine methyltransferase
Definition
6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine
Treatment for childhood leukemias
Immunosuppression
Metabolized by ?
Term

this drug has prolonged postoperative paralysis
Term
Succinylcholine
Definition
this drug is paralytic and
Hydrolyzed by Butyrylcholinesterase
Term
G-6-PD deficiency and Hemolytic Anemia
Definition
X-linked
10% african males affected
Drug-induced hemolysis
400 variant alleles
Mostly point mutations
Oxidative drugs stress glutathione system
Primaquine
Sulfonamides
Sulfones

combined effect of pharmacokinetics and dynamics
Anticoagulant – thromboembolism
Blocks Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1
Term
VKORC1 gene
Definition
Involved in carboxylation of factors II, VII, IX and X; A/A needs half as much as B/B (3X variation in mRNA)

20M patients in US p.a.
0.1 – 1% fatal bleeds p.a., 0.5 – 6.5% serious bleeds
