Cards

Term
What are the two key components to the drug response curve?
Definition
The Drug and the receptor.
Term
What are the three types of Antagonists? Name them? Hint: PCP
Definition

Pharmacological-blocks at receptor

Chemical-one drug deactivates another

Physical-drugs with opposite effects block at different receptors.

Term
What are the two key components to the dose response curve?
Definition
The drug and the response (receptos-coupling action)
Term
Where do the drugs Bind?
Definition
First Plasma, then Protein, then Fat, skeletal muscle, etc. Someone with hypoalbuminemia wont have binding with higher circulating drugs.
Term
Explain Up/Down Regulation.
Definition
The body's response to drugs via creating more or less receptors. (e.g. a person on B-blockers a long time they will eventually no longer work as well)
Term
What are the two components of the concentration/response curve.
Definition
The relationship between the drug and the clinically observed response.
Term

What is the Threshold?

 

What is the Hyperbolic State?

Definition

Threshold-Minimum Dose for Pharmacological Response

 

Hyperbolic State- The top of the curve where you are maxxed out! (flatline) 

Term
What is an unusal response called? What usually causes it?
Definition
Idiosyncratic/Genetics
Term

Henderson Hasselbach for acidic:

 

for basic:

Definition

Acidic: Ionized/Unionized

 

 

Basic: Unionized/Ionized

Term

What are some of the factors effecting absorption?

 

Hint: BCCSR

Definition
Bioavailability, Concentration, Circulation, Surface Area, Route of Administration
Term
What is the Volume of Distribution Equation?
Definition

Dose of Drug

 

/

 

Plasma Concentration

Term
What happens in Phase I of Biotransformation?
Definition
Makes drugs more water soluable, Hydrolysis, oxygenation, reduction.
Term
What happens in Phase two of Biotransformation?
Definition
Conjuation of drug with endogenous substance (e.g. acetate or sulfate) for excretion
Term
An inrease in meatbolism will have what effect on a drug?
Definition
Decrease in drug effect.
Term
What kind of drugs can be filtered in the glomerulus?
Definition
UNbound drugs-metabolites can filter back and forth in the proximal and distal tubules.
Term
in regards to elimination, acidic urine gets rid of.....
Definition
promotes elimination of bases....
Term
What is the formula for clearance/excretion?
Definition
rate of elimination/drug concentration in body
Term
Explain Capacity eliminated (zero order) elimination
Definition

 A constant amount of drug is eliminated over time REGARDLESS of concentration

 

e.g. Alcohol 10 mg/hr

Term
What is First Order Clearance?
Definition
A known/predicted amount is eliminated per unit of time. (e.g 50% hour)
Term
In hepatic extraction with low blood flow will you have higher or lower extraction?
Definition

Higher extraction (inversley related)

Conveyor Belt Theory

Term
As Elimination increases what happens to half-life ?
Definition
Half life will decrease becase more drug is being eliminated.
Term

What diseases can contribute to decreased liver blood flow with a decreased extraction ratio?

Definition

Liver and Cardiac Disease

Portal HTN., cirrhosis

Term
Explain Distribution Half Life
Definition
The Initial Fall in concentration, it describes the rapid process of drug distribution from central to peripheral compartments
Term
Explain Elimination Half-Life
Definition

After distribution, the time it takes for for the drug to dissapear from by irreversible elimination from central compartment

Term
Explain Accumulation
Definition

The time to reach a steady state is related to

 t(1/2) concentration to reach 94% in 4 half lives

Term
Explain Equilibrium
Definition
Amount Administered=Amount Eliminated
Term
Context Sensitive Half-time
Definition
The time necessary for plasma concentration to decrease 50% after infusion discontinued
Term
Target Concentration
Definition
Dose regimen to produce desired effect
Term
Maintenance Dose
Definition
maintain steady state and dose to replace eliminated drug
Term
Dosing rate
Definition
steady state to = rate of elimination
Term
Loading Dose
Definition
Needed to make a steady state in a drug with a long half-life
Term
Multiple Dosing
Definition
At a steady state, drug concentrations fluctuate (peak and trough)
Term

Name the 5 types of Transmembrance Signaling

hint (GILTR 2)

Definition

G-Proteing

Ion Channel (ligand-gated)

Lipid Soluable Ligand

Transmembrance Receptor Protein

 

2nd Messengers

Term
Lipid Soluable Ligand
Definition
e.g. NO2 signals guanylate cyclase to produce cGMP and causes vasodilation
Term
What drug binds to the DNA in the nucleus
Definition
steroids- to stimulate gene transcription
Term
Transmembrane Receptor Protein
Definition

Intracellular enzymatic activity regulated by an extracellualr site

 

e.g. Lidocaine blocks Na+ channel hyperpolarizes cell.....it can't depolarize for an action potential

or  

Insulin binding to sugar

Term
Ligand gated transmembrane Ion Channel
Definition

Receptors are: GABA, Ach, etc

receptors transmit signals increasing ion conduction and alters electrical potential difference

Ach opens nicotinic Ach channel, allows Na+ influx, and causes exitatory

or GABA lets Cl- in to make inhibitory response

 

Term
G Proteins
Definition
Transmembrane receptor protein stimulates a GTP binding cell surface detects, activates G protein stimulates an enzyme OR ion channel and 2nd messenger (cAMP, IP3, CA2+)
Term
What is a serpentine receptor
Definition
Describes how the receptor spans the membrane
