Cards

Term
Pharmacokinetics
Definition
the time-course of drugs in the tissues of the body; "drug deposition" and absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination; what the body does to the drug
Term
pharmadocynamics
Definition
drug concentration and pharmacologic response; what the drug does to the body
Term
therapeutic range
Definition
established from studies in GROUPS of patients; "average" values; guide to therapy; some patients abive and some below but it is the range which most patients are going to respond
Term
what is ADME?
Definition
absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion
Term
factors that influence oral drug absorption
Definition
molecular size, degree of ionization, and relative lipid solubility; if entry is indirect the drug formulation can influence the rate and extent of absorption
Term
bioavailability; determined by
Definition
quantify the rate and extent of drug absorption; is determined by absorption and degree of presystemic extraction
Term
relative bioavailability
Definition
comparing its rate and extent to that of another accepted orally administered standard.
Term
absolute bioavailability
Definition
comparison is made to the same drug administered intravenously
Term
"F"
Definition
ratio of the bioavailability of an oral dosage to the IV dosage; percentage of unchanged drug that reaches the systemic circulation
Term
physical properties that effect distribution
Definition
molecular weight, lipid solubility, pKa, and protein binding
Term
which organs receive drugs first?
Definition
highly perfused organs like the heart, liver, kidney and brain
Term
what is the apparent volume of distribution
Definition
extent of drug distribution; relates the total amount of drun in the body to the resulting plasma concentration; is an imaginary space; measured in liters and standardized to body weight (L/kg)
Term
apparent volume of lipid soluble vs insoluble
Definition
lipid soluble= distribution volumes that exceed body water and insoluble= smller
Term
why would apparent volume of distribution correspond to plasma or blood volume?
Definition
implies that tissue uptake and tissue storage is not extensive.
Term
"weak acids" bind to

drugs that compete for binding to a protein
Term
if drug A is 40% bound and experiences a 20% reduction, the unboudn fraction increases by ____% up to _____%
Definition
Term
biotransformation
Definition
any alteration of a drug by the body that results in the formation of a metabolite
Term
"first pass" metabolism
Definition
throguh the liver the first time and most, if not all, of the drug is megabolized; this reduces the bioavailability of the drug; doesn't take place with IV drugs

Term
what routes bypass the liver?
Definition
IV, siblingual, 50% of rectal
Term
extent of "first pass" metabolism is determined by
Definition
amount of drug degradation in the GI as well as the amount of metabolism in the liver
Term
functions of biotransformation
Definition
to convert a lipid soluble drug into a more water-soluble compound to be extracted; to turn in inactive drug that is ingested into an active drug
Term
ex if inactive drugs
Definition
cortisone, prednisone azathioprine and fosphenytoin
Term
phase I reactions
Definition
within the ER and expose a funcitonal group on the parent drug; becomes inactive or less active

phase II reactions
Definition
within the cytosol; conjugation reactions; involve covalent linkage of functional groups; may undergo phase I first or simply undergo phase II
Term
ex of phase I reactions

N and O-dealkylation, aliphatic and aromatic hydroxylation, N and S oxidation and deamination
Term
ex or phase II reactions
Definition
glucuronidation, sulfation and acetylation
Term
describe hepatic enzyme induction
Definition
de novo synthesis of cytochrome P450 enzyme; substances induce these enzymes to increase the metabolic degradation of other drugs; ex: phenobarbital, rifampin and carbamzepine
Term
hepatic enzyme inhibition
Definition
competition between two rugs for the same metabolic pathway; slows the rate of drug metabolism; ex: azole antifungals and macrolide antibiotics
Term
zero order elimination
Definition
constant amount of drug is eliminated; clearance pathways have become saturation; arithemetic scale; "non-linear kinetic" ex: ethanol; independent of concentration of drug; half-life varies; clearance not constant
Term
first order elimination
Definition
constant fraction of drug is eliminated; proportional to the drug concentration; logarithmic scalse as a straight line "linear kinetics"; constant half-life
Term
Michaelis-Menten elimination
Definition
rate of drug elimination is dependent upon the concentration of drug present; upper portion curve decays in a convex fashion (zero order) and lower portion is a straight line (first order); ex: phenytoin; clearance is not constant; half life is not constant
Term
biliary excretion
Definition
some drugs are secreted directly into the canaliculi via an energy-dependent and carrier-specific process; may undergo enzyme deconjugation and reabsorbed or may be excreted without further reabsorption
Term
drugs that are excreted by biliary clearance as intact drug or metabolite
Definition
digoxin, estradiol, lovastatin fluvastatin spironalactone testosterone doxorubicin and vincristine
Term
drugs excreted by clearance and subsequently reabsorbed
Definition
digitoxin, impipramine indomethacin, morphine, and pregnenolone
Term
three pathways in the kidney of drugs
Definition
glomerular filtration, active tubular secretion and passive tubular reabsorption
Term
glomerular filtration
Definition
passively filtered across (protein bound is not filtered); creatinine clearance is used as an indicator and as the basis for determining the need for dosage adjustments
Term
tubular secretion
Definition
distinct nonselective active secretion exist in the proximal tubule; acidic= furosemide, penicillis, salicylates; basic= amiloride, morphine, quinidine and amphetamine
Term
tubular reabsorption
Definition
passive reabsorption of filtered and/or secreted drugs dictated by lipid solubility, degree of ionization adn drug concentration gradients; this reduces the amount of drug excreted
Term
clearance
Definition
the elmination of drug from the body from liver, kidney and others; rate at which drug is elminated from its unique volume of distribution and its units are volume per unit time
Term
equation for clearance

half-life
Definition
the amount of time that is required for the concentration of drug in the plasma to fall by 50%; influences the frequency with which you administer drugs
Term
steady state
Definition
rate of drug entering the systemic circulation equals the rate of drug elimination so the amount of drug in the body remains constant
Term
steady state for first-orer elimination
Definition
steady state conditions are achieved after approximately 5 half lives; and have life is the ONLY factor whch influences when steady state is achieved;
Term
what is a loading dose?
Definition
administered to rapidly achieve concentrations that approximate those which will eventually exist at steady state
Term
accumulation
Definition
when a drug is administered repeatedly, drug accumulation occurs unless the time exceeds the half-life; rising serum concentrations

Term
Profile 2
Definition
multiple IV bolus; drug accumulation depicted as rising drug oncentrations with each succeeding dose becuase the previous dose has not been eliminated; concentration peads after 4-5 half lives raching a "steady state"; fluctuates between max (CPss max) and min (CPss min)
Term
Profile 3
Definition
constant IV infusion; CPss average is reached at the same rate as multiple IV bolus profile' CPss average is related to the ratio of infusion rate to clearanc; 50% raise in drug during the infusion and is identical to the half-life defining the 50% decrease in concentration after te infusion is stopped; CPss is almost completely ttained after 4-5 half lifes; CPss averagei is independent of the infusion rate and is only related to the half life
Term
Profile 4
Definition
bolus X constant infusion; the observed drug concentration is the sum of each concentration profile contributed by the IV bolus and the infusion; the declining concentration profile from the bolus is offset by the rising concentration profile form the infusion, resulting in maintenance of a constant concentration at CPss max; the half-life applies to the drug concentration disappearance curve following the cessation of the infusion

LD = (deltaC x Vd) / (F x S)
-F is the fraction of the drug dose systemically available; F=1 for IV administered drugs
