Vmax is dependant on...
enzyme concentration
increase Km = _ affinity
decreased
volume of distribution
relates the amount of drug in the body to amount of drug in plasma.

amt of drug in body/plasma drug [ ]
Low Vd
distributes in blood
high Vd
distribute in all tissues
clearance
UxV / Px

Ux = urine concentration of drug x
V = urine flow rate (usu 1mL/min)
Px = plasma concentration of drug x
A drug infused at a constant rate takes how many half-lives to reach steady state?
4-5
Zero order elimination
rate of elimination is constant regardless of plasma concentration

constant AMOUNT of drug is eliminated per unit time
Zero-order drug examples
Phenytoin
Ethanol
Aspirinl

(a PEA is round, like the # zero)
First order elimination
Constant fraction of drug is eliminated per unit time.
OD on aspirin, phenobarbital or methotrexate. How would you alter urine pH to help?
These are weak acids that are trapped in alkaline environment

Alkalinize urine with bicarbonate, silly!
OD on amphetamines, how would you alter the urine to help?
amphatamines = weak base
Acidify the urine with ammonium chloride.
Efficacy defined:
maximal effect a drug can produce
Potency
amount of drug needed for a given effect
Competitive antagonist
shifts dose response curve to the RIGHT (dec potency, no change on efficacy)

ex: diazepam and flumazinil on GABA-receptor
Noncompetitive antagonist
Shifts dose response curve LEFT (dec efficacy)

ex: NE and phenoxybenzamine on alpha-R
Partial agonist
Reduced maximal effect (dec efficacy).

ex: morphine and buprenorphine at opioid mu receptor
Therapeutic index
TI = LD50 / ED50
