Term
What are the steps of G-protein coupled receptor(GPCR) desensitization? |
|
Definition
1)Phosphorylation 2)internalization 3)downregulation(degradation) |
|
|
Term
Describe the phosphorylation step of GPCR desensitization. |
|
Definition
GPCR's are phosphorylated by kinases which causes it to uncouple
happens within seconds |
|
|
Term
Describe the internalization step of GPCR desensitization. |
|
Definition
phosphorylated GPCR's form clusters with clathrin-coated pits which then causes it to internalize by endocytosis
after this happens it is called an early endosome
happens within minutes |
|
|
Term
Describe the downregulation(degradation) step of GPCR desensitization. |
|
Definition
chronic treatment can cause the GPCR to go from early endosome to late endosome and the lysosome for destruction |
|
|
Term
What is the alternate pathway to downregulation if chronic treatment does not occur? |
|
Definition
dephosphorylation and return of the GPCR to surface |
|
|
Term
What is heterologous desensitization? |
|
Definition
cross tolerance
slow to develop |
|
|
Term
What kinds of drugs are associated with tolerance and receptor desensitization? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
psychological dependence
either to create euphoria or stop diseuphoria |
|
|
Term
What is the reward and reinforcement pathway? |
|
Definition
mesolimbic dopaminergic reward pathway |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
physiological dependence
physical symptoms
associated with withdrawal syndrome |
|
|
Term
What are the 6 approaches to drug discovery? |
|
Definition
1)identify new drug target 2)rational drug design 3)Chemical modification of a known molecule 4)screen for biological activity 5)biotechnology and recombinant DNA 6)drug combinations |
|
|
Term
What are the 2 methods for further development of leads? |
|
Definition
compound based approach
target based approach |
|
|
Term
What is the compound based approach to further development? |
|
Definition
looking at a compound to see what it can affect |
|
|
Term
What is the target based approach to further development? |
|
Definition
identifying a target and trying to develop a compound to affect that target |
|
|
Term
Differentiate the three compound based methods for further development. Naturally occurring, synthetic, and metabolites. |
|
Definition
naturally occurring- isolate from natural product
synthetic- structure analyzing
metabolites- from other currently existing drugs |
|
|
Term
Differentiate the methods of target based approach for further development. Systemic and screening |
|
Definition
systemic is trying to understand the mechanism of action synthesizing compounds to work with it while screening is just testing a bunch of chemicals to see how they affect it |
|
|
Term
What is combinatorial chemistry? |
|
Definition
using a small number of precursors to make a lot of derivatives |
|
|
Term
What is High-throughput screening? |
|
Definition
using robotics to rapidly screen chemicals for their biological activity |
|
|
Term
What are the ideal properties of drugs? |
|
Definition
efficacy selectivity efficient delivery good ADME no side effects good physiochemical parameters |
|
|
Term
How long to get a drug to market? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Out of the 100 drugs that enter phase 1 trials how many make it to the market in phase 4? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
What are preclinical studies used to characterize? |
|
Definition
chemical(synthesis, isomers, etc) and biochemical(toxicity) properties |
|
|
Term
What is an investigational new drug (IND) application? |
|
Definition
the application to the FDA to start clinical trials |
|
|
Term
Describe phase 1 clinical trials |
|
Definition
safety 20-100 people (usually healthy) takes up to one year |
|
|
Term
Describe phase 2 clinical trials |
|
Definition
efficacy hundreds of people with condition single blind up to 2 years |
|
|
Term
Describe phase 3 clinical trials |
|
Definition
thousands of individuals with condition double blind up to 4 years |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
postmarketing surveillance |
|
|
Term
What is a new drug application(NDA)? |
|
Definition
a reports thousands of pages that is submitted to FDA in order to be approved to market the drug. |
|
|
Term
Which drugs can get to the market faster priority or accelerated? |
|
Definition
accelerated aka fast-track drugs(life threatening diseases)
priority are just special need if shortage of other agents to treat the disease |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
drugs only helping 200,000 people or less.
GOV gives incentives to make them |
|
|
Term

ANDA abbreviated new drug application |
|
|
Term
Whats the risk when doctors prescribe meds for off label use? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Whats the issue with dietary substances concerning the FDA? |
|
Definition
FDA doesnt have to evaluate efficacy only safety and health claims |
|
|
Term
What does CDER do for the FDA? |
|
Definition
oversees development, postmarket, and quality throughout life cycle |
|
|
Term
Should you give morphine more or less frequently to newborns? |
|
Definition
less because morphine is hydrophilic and newborns have higher body water percent than adults thus the drugs stays in the body longer |
|
|
Term
Should you give fentanyl more or less frequently to newborns? |
|
Definition
more since it is hydrophobic and distributes less in the newborn and is eliminated quicker |
|
|
Term
A week after birth to 2 years old what is a childs pH in the stomach? |
|
Definition
7
this means acid liable drugs (penicillin) have way higher bioavailability in kids |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
decreased so drug effect takes longer
slow till 6-8 months |
|
|
Term
Is GFR reduced or increased in children? |
|
Definition
reduced so drugs extensively eliminated through kidneys remain in body longer |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
decreased and it fluctuates non linearly with age |
|
