what reflects enzyme affinity?
|
Km = [S] when V = 1/2 Vmax
(lower the Km, higher the affinity) |
|
plot of 1/[S] (x-axis) vs 1/V (y-axis):
-y-intercept? -x-intercept? -slope? |
y-intercept = 1/Vmax (larger --> smaller Vmax)
x-intercept = -1/K slope = Km / Vmax *note: x = 0 represents [substrate] = infinity (x = -1/[S]); |
|
enzyme kinetic graph (y = 1/V; x = -1/[S]) - an enzyme has a higher affinity, which intercept is changed how?
|
x-intercept is more negative (lower Km, higher affinity)
|
|
enzyme kinetic graph (y = 1/V; x = -1/[S]) - an enzyme has a higher Vmax, which intercept is changed how?
|
y-intercept is smaller (higher Vmax)
|
|
enzyme kinetic graph (y = 1/V; x = -1/[S]) - a competitive inhibitor is introduced, what changes how?
|
slope inceases (Vmax/Km)
Vmax unchanged - Y intercept Km increases (less affinity) - X intercept decreases |
|
enzyme kinetic graph (y = 1/V; x = -1/[S]) - a noncompetitive inhibitor is introduced, what changes how?
|
slope increases (Vmax/Km)
Km is unchanged (same affinity) - X intercept Vmax decreases - y-intercept increases |
|
what is the effect on potency and efficacy of competitive inhibitors? noncompetitive?
|
competitive inhibitors - decrease potency (amount of drug needed for given effect; directly proportional to affinity)
noncompetitive inhibitors - decrease efficacy (max effect drug can produce) |
|
what are high efficacy drugs?
|
efficacy = max effect drug can have
analgesics antibiotics antihistamines decongestants |
|
what are high potency drugs?
|
potency = amount of drug needed for given effect; directly proportional to affinity
chemotherapeutics antihypertensives antilipids |
|
what is Vd? what dz processes can change a drugs Vd?
|
Vd = total amount of drug in body / plasma drug concentration
drugs that bind plasma protein can have Vd altered by liver & kidney dz (decreased protein --> increased Vd); may be decreased by dehydration Low Vd (4-8L) - distributed in blood Medium Vd - in extracellular space/body water High Vd - in all tissues, lipophilic |
|
how to calculate clearance?
|
CL = rate elimination / plasma concentration = Vd x Ke (elimination constant) = 0.7*Vd / t-half
**t-half is a property only 1st order elimation has |
|
how to calculate t-half life? how many half lives to reach steady state?
|
t-half is a property of 1st order kinetics
t-half = 0.7*Vd / CL (clearance) 4-5 half lives to reach a steady state |
|
how to calculate loading dose? maintenance dose?
|
Loading dose = Cp x Vd / F (bioavailability fraction)
Maintenance dose = Cp x CL / F |
|
what drugs are eliminated by Zero order elimination?
|
PEA (round shaped, like 0)
Phenytoin Ethanol Aspirin (at high/toxic concentrations) |
|
how to tx overdose of weak acids? weak bases?
|
weak acids - trapped when H+ dissociates so tx w/HCO3-
weak bases - trapped when it accepts an H+, so tx w/ammonium chloride |
|
common weak acid overdoses? tx?
|
phenobarbital
methotrexate aspirin tx w/bicarb --> alkalinize to trap the weak acid in the urine |
|
common weak base overdoses? tx?
|
amphetamines
tx w/ammonium chloride --> acidify to trap in urine |
|
phase I vs phase II metabolism?
|
phase I --> slightly polar, water souble metabolites (often still active)
(reduction, oxidation, hydrolysis) phase II = conjugation --> yields very polar, inactive metabolites (renally excreted) (Glucuronidation, Acetylation, Sulfation) |
|
do geriatric patients lose phase I or phase II metabolism first?
|
phase I
|
|
which phase (I or II) of metabolism yields renally excreted products? which yields still active products?
|
phase II - renally excreted
phase I - still active |
|
cytochrome P450 catalyzes which phase (I or II) of drug metabolism?
|
phase I (reduction, oxidation, hydrolysis)
|
|
how is therapeutic index calculated? are higher or lower values safer?
|
TI = LD50 / ED50 (MEDIAN lethal & effective doses)
higher TI are safer **make note, uses median, NOT mean |
|
Sulfa drugs
-reaction? -mneumonic & drugs |
reaction: fever, UTI, pruritic rash, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, urtiaria
sx range from milde to life-threatening Popular FACTSSS Probenecid (gout) Furosemide Azetazolamide Celecoxib Thiazides Sulfonamide antibiotics Sulfasalazine (IBS, rheum arth) Sulfonylureas (diabetic drug) |
