Question
Answer
Pharmacodynamics   action of the drug on the body: The relationship of the dose of drug given a patient to the concentration of drug achieved in the blood stream  
🗑
What are the four process of pharmacodynamics?   1. absorption 2.distrubtion 3.metabolism 4.excretion  
🗑
Describe the time course of drug concentration in the plasma after IV administration   When we give a bolus directly into the bloodstream, we get an immediately high concentration or peak effect that declines over time to lower concentration;Allows tightest control;Most rapid effect Lower variability & increased predictability

Potential 3 step process in drug absorption   – Disintegration or Release – Dissolution – Absorption  
🗑
What are the three Transport process?   • Passive diffusion (high to low) • Facilitated diffusion (high to low w/transport proteins) • Active transport (high to low w/energy)

What are the three PhysiologicFactors of the Membrane   • phospholipidbilayer • hydrophilic surfaces with lipophilic centers • Surface area  
🗑
What are the two Physical/chemical Properties of the Drugs?   –  Oil/water partition coefficient • lipophilic vs hydrophilic –  Ionization at pH of absorption site vs blood stream • unionized form absorbed  
🗑
Passive Diffusion Increased by what four things?   • Lipophilicity (Favorable oil/water partition coefficient) • Larger surface area • High concentration gradient • Thinner membrane  
🗑
Describe how rate and extent of absorption affect the concentration versus time curve.   Absorption only affected when drug administration is via a non-parenteral route. slower the rate & lower the extent of absorption will increase the time it takes for a drug to reach therapeutic & peak plasma concentrations.  
🗑
Which form diffuses across membrane?   Non-ionized  
🗑
Amount of nonionized drug available is determined by   drug pKa and pH gradient across membrane  
🗑
What does pKA mean?   • A characteristic of a drug • The pH at which half of the molecules are in the ionized form and one half are in the unionized form  
🗑

🗑
What is theHenderson-Hasselbalch equation for bases?   pH=pKA + U/I  
🗑
Acid drug in more acidic environment becomes ionized or non-ionzied?   non-ionized  
🗑
Acid drug in more basic environment becomes ionized or non-ionzied?   ionized  
🗑
Basic drugs in more acidic environment becomes ionized or non-ionzied?   ionized  
🗑
Basic drug in a more basic environment becomes ionized or non-ionzied?   non-ionizied  
🗑
Uniporters   ATP energy source  
🗑
antiporters   2ndary; transporter that carries the drug your interested in; another compound being transported the opposite direction that supplies the energy  
🗑
symporters   2ndary;same direction w/transport energy  
🗑
the processes of liberation & how those processes can affect the absorption process   Liberation is the extra step before absorption for any medication that is not given in solution; Disintegration & release Dissolution Absorption -not a factor for IV drugs  
🗑
ABC (ATP binding cassette) P-glycoprotein MDR1   ATP dependent export of drugs from cells Transport drugs – out of the body and into the gut  
🗑
OATP (Organic Anion Transporter Polypeptides) OATP1A2   Influx transporter – Gut to blood  
🗑
Stomach related to drug absorption   Acidic ,Limited surface area ,Primary site for oral drug disintegration and dissolution (dissolved here)  
🗑
Duodenum related to drug absorption   Less acidic to neutral pH,Large surface area, Rich blood supply to maintain concentration gradient – Primary site of oral drug absorption  
🗑
Drug absorption is affected by what main thing?   1st pass effect- Extent of biotransformation prior to reaching systemic circulation; delivery system and solubility  
🗑
What are the physiologic factors that effect distribution?   Blood flow (CO) Body Composition ( lean vs fat) Protein Binding  
🗑
What are the two types of protein binding?   alpha1 acid glycoprotein -binds basic drugs albumin-binds acidic drugs  
🗑
What are the Physical/Chemical Factors that effect distribution?   O/W partition coefficient Degree of ionization  
🗑
What is Ion Trapping?   Drugs move from basic body part to more acidic body part as it is going to get more ionized and trapped there; Weak acids will accumulate on the side with the higher pH (basic) ;Weak bases will accumulate on the side with the lower pH (acidic)  
🗑
With protein binding..drug gets stuck in the bloodstream and only (bound/unbound) drug can move around?   unbound/ free drug  
🗑
what is Bioavailability?   The proportion of a drug or other substance that enters the circulation when introduced into the body and so is able to have an active effect (how much of a given dose is “available to systemic circulation”) F  
🗑
what is Volume of Distribution?   Does not necessarily refer to an identifiable physiological volume, but the fluid volume required to contain all the drug in the body at the same concentration measured in the blood Relates dose administered to concentration achieved in the blood stream  
🗑
What is clearance?   Efficiency of extraction of a drug from bloodstream (remains constant unlike elimination)  
🗑
what is Half life?   Length of time required for concentration of drug in blood stream to be reduced to ½ the original concentration  
🗑
Drugs need to be lipophilic or hydrophilic to be transported in to CNS?   lipophilic  
🗑
Define Pharmacokinetics   Fate of the drug in the body (how the body affects the drug). The relationship of the dose of drug given to the concentration of the drug achieved in bloodstream Involves: liberation, ADM(biotransformation)E  
🗑
Describe Metabolism/ Biotransformation   Usually enzymatic Purpose to inactivate and eventually eliminate drug not easily cleared through the kidney Increase polarity Changes drug from lipophilic to hydrophilic for excretion by the kidneys Liver is most common site
