🗑
originally derived from needles of Pacific yew tree; used for chemo   Taxol  
🗑
drugs from a totally new chemical can be derived from   molecular manipulation of drug that is already in use  
🗑
drug that has same chemical formula as another drug, but has those atoms arranged in different way   isomer  
🗑
totally new drugs can be created through   genetic manipulation  
🗑
involves using enzymes in a test tube to cut apart segment of DNA molecule; clone it; attach back together with bacterial cell   recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology  
🗑
group of physicians & pharmacists who review clinical trials of genetically engineered new drugs & make recommendations to FDA   Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee  
🗑
involves use if stem cells to repair/replace damaged cells in body   stem cell therapy  
🗑
normal version of gene is linked to harmless virus; virus carries gene into body cells affected by disease   gene therapy  
🗑
computer database where researchers are able to do an online match between genetic profile of a disease & genetic profile of drug that could be used to treat that disease   The Connectivity Map  
🗑
accurately described its molecular structure & distinguishes it from all other chemicals   chemical name  
🗑
2nd name for a drug determined by drug company together with US Adopted Names (USAN) Council   generic name  
🗑
after FDA give final approval for marketing, drug company creates 3rd name   brand/trade name  
🗑
drug manufacturer selects trade name that indicates   type of disease condition/symptom drug being used to treat  
🗑
drug manufacturer selects trade name that indicates what __ __ __ is being treated   part of body  
🗑
drug manufacturer selects trade name that indicates __ or __ of drug   ingredients; source  
🗑
drug manufacturer selects trade name that indicates __ __ of drug   therapeutic effect  
🗑
drug manufacturer selects trade name that indicated how __ drug is to be taken   often  
🗑
number of animals that respond/do no respond to drug & at what dose   frequency distribution curve  
🗑
time required for drug level in serum to decrease from 100% to 50%; can be prolonged significantly when liver/kidney diseases decrease metabolism/excretion of drug   half-life  
🗑
the short a drug's half-life   the more frequently it must be given  
🗑
dose at which 50% of animals tested show therapeutic response to drug   median effective dose (ED50)  
🗑
dose at which 50% of animals tested had toxic levels of drug   median toxicity dose (TD50)  
🗑
relative margin of safety between dose that produces therapeutic effect & dose that produces lethal effect in animals   therapeutic index (TI)  
🗑
three phases of human testing for a new drug   clinical trials  
🗑
about 10-100 healthy volunteers are used to study a safe dose range, evaluate side effects, & establish final correct dose; informed consent mandatory; takes about 1-1/2 yrs   Phase I clinical trials  
🗑
drug is given on experimental basis to about 50-500 patients who actually have disease; determines extent of therapeutic effect; takes about 2yrs   Phase II clinical trials  
🗑
drug administered to several hundred-thousands of ill patients in exactly way in which it will be used once it is on market; performance comparison done w/similar drugs on market; usually lasts about 3 years   Phase III clinical trials  
🗑

🗑
IND (Investigational New Drug) Application contains   info about animal trials; shows drug not a risk to humans; includes chemistry of drug & manufacturing process  
🗑
first benzodiazepine drug was chlordiazepoxide (Librium). In identifying this drug chlordiazepoxide is the _________ name   generic  
🗑
ending of the generic name for a drug is -olol, therefore the drug is classified as a   beta blocker for hypertension and arrhythmias
