Pharmacology
2 divisions
pharmacokinetics
Pharmacodynamics
How drug is transported in and out of the body
absorbtion
distribution
biotransformation
elimination
pharmacokinetics
Effects of the drug when they reach their target tissues
Pharmacodynamics
requires energy to move a substance
active transport
requires a carrier protien to transport large molecules
Facilitated Diffusion
Movement of substance are of higher concentration to area of lower concentration
diffusion
fluid like water area are of higher concentration to area of lower concentration
osmosis
movement from high pressure to a lower pressure
Filtration
How the drug finds its way to desired tissue
absorption
must get into blood stream first
absorption
amount of drug that is still active after it reaches its target tissue
Bioavailibilty
HOw drug is distributed throughout the body
distribution
distributed through the circulatory system
distribution
dependent on binding in the blood stream
albumin in the blood
big blood protein
distribution
tight junction between capillary and endothelial cells prevent this?
prevent distribution
Breakdown of drugs
Biotransformation
transform drug into a more or less active metabolite
Biotransformation
make drug more water or less lipid soluble to facilitate elimination
Biotransormation
First pass through the liver may partially or completely inactivate many drugs
"first-pass effect"
extreted through urine, feces or expiration
