Term
Types of pharmocokinetic drug interactions:
Definition
what our body does to the drug:
- absorption
- distribution
- metabolism
- excretion
Term
types of pharacodynamic drug interactions:
Definition
what the drug does to our body:
- additive or synergistic
- antagonism of one drug by another
Term
If one drug has the potential for adsorbing another drug, it should be taken __ hour before or __ to ___ hours after.
Definition
- one
- two to three
Term
Give examples of adsorbing drugs:
Definition
- antacids bind (adsorb) digoxin
Term
Chelating drugs:
Definition
tetracyline binds calcium, Fe+2, and other minerals and blocks absorption
Term
pH altering drugs can also increase/decrease amount of another drug that is absorbed. example:
Definition
proton pump blockers decrease ketoconazole concentrations
Term
Drugs may increase/decrease gastric emptying which in turn increases/decreases drug absorption. Example:
Definition
- antinausea meds increase gastric emptying so don't have time to absorb other drugs
Term
pharamacokinetic drug interactions involving drug distribution:
Definition
- competition for plasma binding protein causes transient rise in plasma concentration when one drug is displaced off of proteins (phenylbutazone displacement of warfarin)
- displacement from tissue binding sites causes transient rise in plasma concentrations
- these are likely not super important
Term
Pharmacokinetic drug interactions involving changes in absorption:
Definition
Adsorbing drugs: antacids bind digoxin, iron, azole antifungals, ASA, tetracycline, thyroxine

Chelating drugs: tetracycline binds Ca2+, Fe2+, and other minerals, which blocks its absorption (note: dairy products)

pH altering drugs: proton pump blockers decrease ketoconazole concentrations

Drugs affecting gastric emptying
Term
P-glycoprotein is a ___ ___ ___. This is the major causes of resistance to ___ with ___. It was first discovered in ___ cells.
Definition
- multi-drug resistance protein
- chemotherapy with cancer
- cancer cells
Term
P-glycoprotein is a ___ __that moves drugs __ of cells, and thus is involved with ___ of drugs.
Definition
- transport protein
- out
- excretion
Term
P-glycoprotein is located in the ___ ____ ____ where it moves drugs out the brain and into the blood. If there was a blockade of Pglycoproteins here, you would ____ ___ concentrations.
Definition
- blood brain barrier
- increase CNS
Term
Pglycoproteins are also in the ___ ___where they move drugs into the lumen of the intestine to be excreted. Blockading these proteins would cause ___ ____ concentration.
Definition
- GI tract
- increased plasma concentration
Term
P-glycoproteins are also in the ___where they move drugs into the urine. Blocking these would lead to an ___ ___ concentration of drug.
Definition
- kidney
- increased plasma
Term
summary of locations and roles of Pglycoproteins:
Definition
Transporter that moves drugs out of cells

Blood-brain-barrier: moves drugs out of brain and
into blood (blockade = increased CNS concentration)

GI tract: moves drugs into the lumen of the intestine
(blockade = increased plasma concentration)

Kidney: moves drugs into the urine
(blockade = increased plasma concentration)
Term
P-glycoprotein transporter ____ secretes drug from cells.
Definition
actively
Term
P-glycoproteins are important where?
Definition
Important at the blood brain barrier

In proximal renal tubule: responsible for secreting some
compounds, e.g., conjugated metabolites (Phase II)
Term
P-glycoproteins are inhibited by many ___ ____. Give example.
Definition
- CYP3A inhibitors
Term
Ketoconazole is a ____ ____ thus it inhibits ______ and increases concentration of digoxin in the renal tubule by decreasing its excretion.
Definition
- CYP3A inhibitor
- P-glycoprotein
Term
Excretion Multi-Drug Resistance-associated Protein (MRP)

Probenecid inhibits MRP and reduces renal tubular secretion of penicillin =
increase in plasma concentration of penicillin
Definition
Term
Penicillin is substrate to MRP so if block MRP then you increase plasma level of penicillin
Definition
Term
Pharmocokinetic drug interactions involving metabolism:
Definition
- induction or inhibition of metabolism by P450

Ketoconazole and other azoles: inhibit CYP3A4: increased
concentrations of warfarin, benzodiazepines, cyclosporine,
amiodarone, phenytoin

Griseofulvin: enhances P450 enzymes, reduces warfarin
concentrations
Term
___ enhance their own metabolism.
Definition
Barbituates
Term
with pharmacodynamic interactions similar drugs may have ___ or ___ effects, opposing drugs may ____, and two drugs together may produce ___ or ___ effects.
Definition
- additive or synnergistic
- counterbalance
- additive or synnergistic
Term
With chronic alcohol intake, there is ___ ___ and ___ ___ of drugs.
Definition
- enzyme induction
- enhanced metabolism
Term
Acute alcohol intake has ___ actions with other ___ _____ which leads to increased ___ ___ effect on insulin.
Definition
- synergistic actions with other CNS depressants
- increased hypoglycemic effect of insulin
Term
Disulfiram is ____ blocks alcohol dehyrogenase. so if you take this and drink get nausea and vomitting, headache, hypotension, malaise, flushing.
Definition
antabuse
Term
Drug A inhibits enzyme that metabolizes Drug B. How does A affect the concentration of B?
Definition
A increases B
Term
Drug A induces enzyme that metabolizes Drug B- how does a influence b concnetration?
Definition
decreases B concentration
