|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Km | [S] at Vmax, low Km => high affinity
🗑
|
||||
| Noncompetitive inhibitor | -Does not resemble substrate
-Does not bind to active site
-Cannot be overcome by increased [S]
-Decreases Vmax, no effect on Km
-Decreases efficacy of substrate
🗑
|
||||
| Competitive inhibitor | -Resembles substrate
-Binds to active site
-Can be overcome by increased [S]
-Decreases Km, no effect on Vmax
-Decreases potency of substrate
🗑

| Volume of Distribution (Vd) | = (Amount of drug in body)/(Concentration of drug in plasma)
Low Vd => distributes in blood
Med Vd => distributes in extracellular space/body water
High Vd => distributes in tissues
🗑
|
||||
| Clearance | = (rate of elimination)/(plasma concentration) = Vd x Ke
🗑
|
||||
| Loading dose | = Cp x Vd/F
Not affected by renal/hepatic dysfunction
🗑
|
||||
| Maintenance dose | = Cp x Cl/F
Decreased by renal/hepatic dysfunction
🗑
|
||||
| Zero-order elimination | Constant amount of drug eliminated over time, regardless of concentration
Phenytoin, Ethanol, Aspirin
🗑
|
||||
| First-order elimination | Elimination rate proportional to concentration, constant fraction of drug eliminated per unit time (exponential decay)
🗑
|
||||
| Weak acids | Trapped in basic environments, treat overdose w/ bicarb
Phenobarbitol, MTX, TCAs, aspirin
HB + OH- --> B- + H2O
🗑
|
||||
| Weak bases | Trapped in acidic environment, treat overdose w/ ammonium chloride
Amphetamines
BOH + H+ --> B+ + H2O
🗑
|
||||
| Phase I metabolism | Reduction, oxidation, hydrolysis
Yields slightly polar, water-soluble metabolites, often still active
CyP450
Lost first by elderly patients
🗑
|
||||
| Phase II metabolism | Acetylation, glucuronidation, sulfation
Yields very polar, inactive metabolites for renal excretion
Conjugation, separate from P450
🗑
|
||||
| Therapeutic index | = median LD50/median ED50
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
