Term
whats the difference between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Definition
pharmacokinetics is the body's effect on the drug

pharmacodynamics is the drugs effect on the body
Term
what is a chiral carbon
Definition
a carbon with 4 different substituents
Term
the subtypes of a chiral carbon are
Definition
1. levorotatory enationmer
2. dextrorotatory enatiomer
Term
rate of passive diffusion is determined by what two factors of drugs
Definition
1. lipid solubility
2. concentration gradient
Term
primary mechanism of transport in placenta is by
Definition
simple diffusion
Term
is fetal pH or maternal pH more acidic
Definition
fetal circulation is more acidic
Term
the two primary plasma proteins are
Definition
1. albumin #1
2. alpha 1 - acid glycoprotein
Term
the greater the protein binding then the greater or lesser the lipid solubility??
Definition
greater lipid solubility
Term
Three populations of patients that have decrease plasma proteins
Definition
1. elderly
2. liver disease
3. renal disease
Term
what type of kinetics is the removal of a constant fraction in a period of time
Definition
first order kinetics
Term
what type of kinetics is the removal of a drug at a constant rate per unit of time
Definition
zero-order kinetics
Term
drug elminiation is considered complete after how many half lifes
Definition
4-5 elimination half lives
Term
Describe the tri-exponential decay curve
Definition
Describes the distribution and elminiation phases of any drug in the boyd. Three phases, pi, alpha and beta. Pi and alpha represent the distribution phase. Pi is distribution immediately to the vessel rich groups, then alpha is distribution to non-vessel rich group. Beta is the elminitaion phase.
Term
generally a lipophillic drug will have more or less VOD
Definition
MORE! b/c lots go into lipid containing tissues and therefore larger vod.
