In the equation:
D+R <-- (K1/K2)--> DR --(K3)--> Effect
what does K1/K2 and K3 stand for?
K1/K2= affinity
K3= efficacy
the ____ of a drug for a receptor is the propensity of the DR complex to form (K1) divided by the propensity of it to dissociate (K2)
affinity
____ possess both affinity and efficacy
agonists (full agonist)
___ ____ possess affinity, but a lower efficacy than a full agonist that binds to the same receptor
Partial agonist
partial agonists have a ___ Emax than a full agonist
lower
____ possess affinity but lack efficacy
antagonists
aspirin is an example of an _____ because it elicits no response (inhibits the formation of prostaglandins
antagonist
morphine is an example of a ___ ___ because it elicits a full response
full agonist
**opioids can be full agonists, partial agonist or antagonists
propranolol decreases HR and blood pressure but blocking NE receptors in the heart making it an
antagonist
valium binds to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain on the GABA complex to produced sedation and decrease anxiety making it an
agonist
the intensity of a drug response is related to the number of ?
drug-receptor complexes formed
which in turn is related to the amount of drug in the body
the range of a blood pressure decrease someone experiences when given a drug is example of a
graded log dose-response
graded= continous
whether or not a person's BP decreases when given a drug (yes or no) is an example of an
quantal log dose-response
quantal= all or nothing, yes/no
the lower the ED50 is,
the more potent the drug
because less drug needed to get 50% of the maximum response
binds to target and complex and elicits full response
agonist
binding elicits only a portion of response, Emax is lower vs a full agonist
partial agonist
binds with high affinity to a receptor and no response is elicited
Antagonist
binding elicits a response that is in the opposite direction of an agonist
inverse agonist
effects of drugs on the body (drug-receptor interactions; dose-response curves)
Pharmacodynamics
effects of the body on drugs (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion)
pharmacokinetics
relationship which describes both drug potency and efficacy; usually either hyperbolic (linear) or sigmoidal (log) in shape
dose-response curve
describes the maximum effect, or how efficacious a drug is with respect to the target response
Emax
the dose at which 50% effect is elicited; describes potency of a drug
ED50
dose at which 50% of the lethal effect is elicited
LD50
competitive inhibitors do what to E50 and Emax?
it increases E50 but DOES NOT CHANGE Emax
if a drug has a high therapeutic index that means it is a
safe drug
an ideal drug is _____ soluble
lipid and aqueous soluble
If a drug is dosed ___ and ____ it does NOT have to be absorbed it is immediately in the blood stream
IV and Intraarterially
in acidic conditions, a weak acid is ____ and a weak base is ____
deionized
ionized
In basic conditions, a weak acid is ____ and a weak base is _____
ionized
deionized
what are the two main plasma proteins that free drugs bind to?
albumin
alpha-1 acid glycoprotein
what types of reactions are phase 1 reactions
oxidation-reducation hydrolysis via CYP450
the products of phase 1 reactions are more ___ and ___, ___, or _____
polar
active, reactive, or inactive
what occurs in phase 2 reactions
conjugation
the products of phase 2 reactions are 3 things
highly ionized
rapidly excreted
inactive
T/F: distribution is the same between the different body compartments
FALSE
it is different between the different compartments
T/F: phase 2 always phase 1
FALSE
usually occurs this way but not always
what is most common phase 2 conjugation in humans? Followed by?
glucaronidation
sulfonation
where are CYP450's located
in the smooth ER of the hepatocytes (membrane bound NOT in the cytosol)
the oxidation of a drug involves
the splitting of molecular oxygen
with one atom appearing in the metabolite and one undergoing reduction to water
accelerates metabolism of other drugs metabolized by the same CYP because it works with DNA to increase the amount of CYP present
increases the amount of enzyme but not the enzyme activity
induction
if this occurs metabolism of drugs by this CYP will decrease and blood levels may rise (bc less is being metabolized ad this may result in increased therapeutic effect of toxicity)
inhibition
5 organs of excretion
kidneys
liver (bile)
lungs (volatile compounds)
sweat glands
salivary glands
if alkalinize urine:
weak acids, such as phenobarbital), are
more highly ionized and rapidly excreted
if alkalinize urine:
weak bases , such as amphetamine, are
more highly unionized and rapidly reabsorbed
what increases filtration fraction and why
displacement of drug from plasma proteins
because only free drug is filtered and the drug is free when it is not bound to plasma proteins
first order elimination is described as what?
a constant percentage eliminatedover a unit of time
zero order elimination is described as what?
a constant amount eliminated over a unit of time
with an arithemetic scale, if the elimination is a straight line it is ___
zero order
with a log scale, if the elimination is a straight line it is ____
first order
what is faster, first or zero order?
first
for most drugs, the elimination phase is ____ except for some drugs such as ____ which is zero order
first order
ethanol
the half life of a zero order processes depends on
the drug level at the given time and is NOT constant
drug elimination, since it is essential a first order process can be defined for a given drug by its
half-life
the minimum effective drug level to the toxic drug level is known as the
"therapeutic window"
Because of first order drug elimination, doubling the dose of a drug
doesn't always double the benefit or effect
if the daily dose replaces an identical amount of drug lost through metabolism or excretion each day, the average daily blood concentration and the resulting effect will be constant
steady-state blood levels
the amount in=the amount out and occurs when someone is taking a chronic dose
states that it takes about four to five half-lives for the average blood concentration and related intensity of response to reach a steady level
plateau principle
5 organs of biotransformation
liver
lung
kidney
blood
intestine
during chronic drug administration at a fixed dose and dosing interval, the mean steady state level reached is primarily determined by
drug dose
during chronic drug administration at a fixed dose and dosing interval, the time until a steady state is reached is primarily determined by
drug half-life
during chronic drug administration at a fixed dose and dosing interval, the difference between peak and trough levels is primarily determined by
dosing interval
T/F: if a drug is more lipid soluble,the likelihood of it crossing the blood brain barrier increases
