|
Definition of Passive Diffusion |
Random movement of drug from an area of high concentration to area of low concentration |
|
Definition of Facilitated Diffusion |
Movement of molecules through membrane using a carrier protein and no energy is expended |
|
Definition of Active transport |
movement of molecules across membrane from low to high concentration using a carrier protein where ATP is expended from |
|
Chemical alteration of drug molecules into metabolites by body cells or metabolism of drug |
Biotransformation |
|
Primary site of biotransformation in the body |
Liver |
|
Detoxifying enzyme found in hepatocytes |
Cytochrome P450 |
|
4 main pathways by which drugs undergo biotransformation |
1. Oxidation- loss electrons 2. Reduction- gain electrons 3. Hydrolysis - water molecules cause drug split 4. Conjugation -make drug more soluble add glucaronic acid |
|
Tendency of a drug to move from area of high concentration to area of low means it is following the.. |
Concentration gradient |
|
Water loving drugs |
Hydrophilic (usually ionized) |
|
Fat loving drugs |
Lipophilic ( non ionized) |
|
Defintion ofIonized vs. nonionized |
Charged vs. uncharged |
|
When a drug molecule changes from ionized to nonionized form as it moves to another part of the body it is called.. |
Ion trapping |
|
What happens when acidic drugs are in an alkaline environment? vs. What happens when acid drugs are in an acid environment? |
They become ionized/charged/hydrophilic They become nonionized/uncharged/lipophilic |
|
When drugs that pass through the intestinal lumen to the liver via the portal vein are then metabolized and excreted thereby reducing he amount of active drug in the system. This is called what? |
First Pass Effect |
|
Ratio of ionized drug to nonionized drug symbol |
pKa |
|
Gill cells surround the capillaries of the brain and spinal cord so there are no fenestrations. Only the most lipophilic drug can enter this defense system called what? |
The blood-brain barrier |
|
Areas of the body with similar defense to the blood brain barrier (3) |
1. Prostate gland 2. Globe of the eye 3. Some extent the placenta |
|
Type of dog breed that is an exception to the blood-brain barrier |
Collie and collie types "white feet don't treat" |
|
Drug that binds to a cell receptor and cause actoion are called? |
Agonist |
|
Drugs that inhibit or block the response of a cell to its receptor are called? |
Antagonists |
|
Competes with agonist for same receptor site can be overcome with a high does of an antagonist. This action is called? |
Competitive antagonisms reversible |
|
Acts as a roadblock to receptor site because it binds to a site different from the agonist and mechanically changes the agonists receptor. This action is called what? |
Non-competitive antagonism irreversible |
|
has some effect on the agonist at lesser degree |
partial agonist/antagonist |
|
The strength of binding between a receptor and a drug |
Affinity |
|
Drug dose that produces desired effect with minimal or no signs of toxicity |
Therapeutic index (LD/ED) LD-lethal dose ED-effective dose |
|
Point ay which drug accumulation and elimination are equal |
Steady state |
|
Why would an oral deworming drug be hydrophilic? |
Because the need to stay in the gut to work and no be absorbed by the lumen |
|
Definition of pinocytosis / phagocytosis |
cell drinking / cell eating |
|
If you want a drug to be absorbed in the GI tract it needs to be what? |
Lipophilic (PO drugs usually lipophilic) |
