Term
Define drug tolerance
Definition
insensitivity to drug caused by repeated chronic administration
Term
What is innate tolerance?
Definition
Genetically determined (polymorphisms)
Term
What are the two types of learned tolerance?
Definition
Behavioral- patient learns to cope with condition( ex alcoholics)

conditioned- environmental clues related to drug use can cause reflexes
Term
What are the three types of acquired tolerance?
Definition
Pharmacokinetic- "dispositional" deals with absorption and metabolism

pharmacodynamic- changes to receptors and mediators

Cross tolerance- tolerance to a drug similar not given due to similar structure to the one that was given
Term
What are the steps of G-protein coupled receptor(GPCR) desensitization?
Definition
1)Phosphorylation
2)internalization
3)downregulation(degradation)
Term
Describe the phosphorylation step of GPCR desensitization.
Definition
GPCR's are phosphorylated by kinases which causes it to uncouple

happens within seconds
Term
Describe the internalization step of GPCR desensitization.
Definition
phosphorylated GPCR's form clusters with clathrin-coated pits which then causes it to internalize by endocytosis

after this happens it is called an early endosome

happens within minutes
Term
Describe the downregulation(degradation) step of GPCR desensitization.
Definition
chronic treatment can cause the GPCR to go from early endosome to late endosome and the lysosome for destruction
Term
What is the alternate pathway to downregulation if chronic treatment does not occur?
Definition
dephosphorylation and return of the GPCR to surface
Term
What is heterologous desensitization?
Definition
cross tolerance

slow to develop
Term
What kinds of drugs are associated with tolerance and receptor desensitization?
Definition
opiods
beta agonists
Term
Define addiction
Definition
psychological dependence

either to create euphoria or stop diseuphoria
Term
What is the reward and reinforcement pathway?
Definition
mesolimbic dopaminergic reward pathway
Term
Define dependence
Definition
physiological dependence

physical symptoms

associated with withdrawal syndrome
Term
What are the 6 approaches to drug discovery?
Definition
1)identify new drug target
2)rational drug design
3)Chemical modification of a known molecule
4)screen for biological activity
5)biotechnology and recombinant DNA
6)drug combinations
Term
What are the 2 methods for further development of leads?
Definition
compound based approach

target based approach
Term
What is the compound based approach to further development?
Definition
looking at a compound to see what it can affect
Term
What is the target based approach to further development?
Definition
identifying a target and trying to develop a compound to affect that target
Term
Differentiate the three compound based methods for further development. Naturally occurring, synthetic, and metabolites.
Definition
naturally occurring- isolate from natural product

synthetic- structure analyzing

metabolites- from other currently existing drugs
Term
Differentiate the methods of target based approach for further development. Systemic and screening
Definition
systemic is trying to understand the mechanism of action synthesizing compounds to work with it while screening is just testing a bunch of chemicals to see how they affect it
Term
What is combinatorial chemistry?
Definition
using a small number of precursors to make a lot of derivatives
Term
What is High-throughput screening?
Definition
using robotics to rapidly screen chemicals for their biological activity
Term
What are the ideal properties of drugs?
Definition
efficacy
selectivity
efficient delivery
good ADME
no side effects
good physiochemical parameters
Term
How long to get a drug to market?
Definition
12-20
Term
Out of the 100 drugs that enter phase 1 trials how many make it to the market in phase 4?
Definition
20
Term
What are preclinical studies used to characterize?
Definition
chemical(synthesis, isomers, etc) and biochemical(toxicity) properties
Term
What is an investigational new drug (IND) application?
Definition
the application to the FDA to start clinical trials
Term
Describe phase 1 clinical trials
Definition
safety
20-100 people (usually healthy)
takes up to one year
Term
Describe phase 2 clinical trials
Definition
efficacy
hundreds of people with condition
single blind
up to 2 years
Term
Describe phase 3 clinical trials
Definition
thousands of individuals with condition
double blind
up to 4 years
Term
Describe phase 4
Definition
postmarketing surveillance
Term
What is a new drug application(NDA)?
Definition
a reports thousands of pages that is submitted to FDA in order to be approved to market the drug.
Term
Which drugs can get to the market faster priority or accelerated?
Definition
accelerated aka fast-track drugs(life threatening diseases)

priority are just special need if shortage of other agents to treat the disease
Term
What are orphan drugs?
Definition
drugs only helping 200,000 people or less.

GOV gives incentives to make them
Term
What must companies submit to get a generic equivalent on the market?
Definition
ANDA abbreviated new drug application
Term
Whats the risk when doctors prescribe meds for off label use?
Definition
law suits
Term
Whats the issue with dietary substances concerning the FDA?
Definition
FDA doesnt have to evaluate efficacy only safety and health claims
Term
What does CDER do for the FDA?
Definition
oversees development, postmarket, and quality throughout life cycle
Term
Should you give morphine more or less frequently to newborns?
Definition
less because morphine is hydrophilic and newborns have higher body water percent than adults thus the drugs stays in the body longer
Term
Should you give fentanyl more or less frequently to newborns?
Definition
more since it is hydrophobic and distributes less in the newborn and is eliminated quicker
Term
A week after birth to 2 years old what is a childs pH in the stomach?
Definition
7

this means acid liable drugs (penicillin) have way higher bioavailability in kids
Term
Do children have increased or decreased gastric emptying time?
Definition
decreased so drug effect takes longer

slow till 6-8 months
Term
Is GFR reduced or increased in children?
Definition
reduced so drugs extensively eliminated through kidneys remain in body longer
Term
Is liver function increased or decreased in children?
Definition
decreased and it fluctuates non linearly with age
Term
Should parents give fever reducing medications after a child receives a vaccine?
Definition
no it can reduce effectiveness of the vaccine by 50%
