"The time it takes the body to remove (i.e. ""clear"") 1/2 of the total amt of a drug distributed throughout the body tissues (i.e. Volume of Distribution, Vd)
How is half-life calculated?
T1/2 = Vd/Cl x 0.7

T1/2 = "half-life"
Vd = Volume of Distribution
Cl = Clearance
0.7 = Constant

b. If 50% of a drug remains in the body, how many half-lifes have occurred?
c. If 87.5% of a drug remains in the body, how many half-lifes have occurred?
d. If 50% of the drug is eliminated from the body, how many half-lifes hae occured?
e. If 75% of the drug is eliminated from the body, how many half-lifes have occured?
f. If 90% of the drug is eliminated from the body, how many half-lifes have occured?"
a. < 1 half-life
b. 1 half-life
c. <1 half-life
d. 1 half-life
e. 2 half-lifes
f. 3.3 half lifes

Memorize
Remaining: T1/2 = 3.3-->10% remaining
Eliminated: T1/2 = 3.3--> 90% eliminated
What is loading dose?
Initial dose given in order to quickly reach "target" drug level in the body
What is the Maintenance Dose?
"The amt of drug administered to ""replace"" the amt of drug that is ""lost"" (i.e. eliminated/cleared), thereby maintiaining ""target"" drug levels in the body
What is the "target drug level" in the blood called?
"Css = Plasma concentration of the drug at steady state (i.e. when maintenance dose = elimination)
What are two extreme examples?"
Vd (Volume of distribution) = Volume of body tissues that are holding the drug administered

Total Blood Volume ~ 5L (hydrophilic drug with low Vd)
Total Body Water ~ 40L (lipophilid drug with high Vd)
What is bioavailability?
"Bioavaliability, f, is the amount actually absorbed and bioavailable (i.e. in the proper usable form or metabolite)
What must be considered in order to determine the Loading Dose?
You have to consider three things:
1. Desired Css
2. f--> is RARELY 100%, so LD must be increased to reach the desired Css
3. Vd--> some amount of the drug usually gets distributed somewhere in the body other than in the blood circulation, therefore, LD will have to be increased to reach the desired Css.
How is Loading Dose calculated?
"LD = (Css x Vd) / f
How is Maintenance Dose calculated?
"MD = (Css x Cl) / f
How is Volume of Distribution calculated?
"Vd = Amount of drug administered / Css @ t = 0
(requires extrapolation; t = time)
How is Clearance calculated?
Cl = Amount eliminated / Css

Response: y-axis
Potency: x-axis (indirectly)
Efficacy: y-axis (indirectly)
On a dose-response curve, a drug with increased potency is shifted which direction (right, left, up, or down)?
Left (inversely related to dosage/x-axis)
On a dose-response curve, a drug with increased efficacy is shifted which direction (right, left, up, or down)?
Up (directly related to response/y-axis)
What is a competitive antagonist?
A drug that fights for the SAME RECEPTOR SITE as another substance
What is a noncompetive antagonist?
"A drug that binds a receptor REGULATORY SITE (i.e. allosteric site) & decreases the affinity of the RECEPTOR SITE for another substance
What direction does a competitive antagonist shift the efficacy curve (right, left, up, or down)?
It doesn't: efficacy (Vmax) is not affected
However, potency is decreased (Km is increased) and therefore the POTENCY curve is shifted to the right.
What direction does a noncompetitive antagonist shift the potency curve (right, left, up, or down)?
"It doesn't: potency (Km) is not affected (the drug is just as potent as before, but some receptors are turned off)
However, efficacy (Vmax) is decreased and therefore the EFFICACY curve is shifted downward.
In general, what direction will competitive and noncompetitive antagonists shift the dose-response curve?
*The same direction we read: DOWN & to the RIGHT!
Noncompetitive affects Y-axis: Downward shift
Competitive affects X-axis: Right shift (*CXR)
