Hydrogen Bond
|
Hydrogen atoms bound to nitrogen or oxygen become more positively polarized, allowing them to bond to more negatively polarized atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur
2nd strongest bond |
|
Covalent Bonds
|
Two bonding atoms share electrons
Strongest bond |
|
Ionic Bond
|
Atoms with an excess of electrons (imparting an overall negative charge on the atom) are attracted to atoms with a deficiency of electrons (imparting an overall positive charge on the atom)
3rd strongest bond |
|
Van der Waals
|
Shifting electron density in areas of a molecule, or in a molecule as a whole, results in the generation of transient positive or negative charges - these areas interact with transient areas of opposite charge on another molecules
Weakest bond |
|
Pharmacodynamics
|
What the drug does to the body
|
|
Pharmacokinetics
|
what the body does to the drug (bioequivalence)
|
|
Efficacy
|
The Emax = maximal response produced by the drug
|
|
Potency
|
EC50 = the concentration at which the drug elicits 50% of its maximal response
|
|
Hydrophilic
|
*Water-loving/water-soluble
*Polar, usually ionized *Renal excretion *Requires transport mechanism to cross cell membranes & BBB *Forms H+ bonds |
|
Hydrophobic
|
*Lipophilic
*Fat-loving/water insoluble *Passively diffuses across cell membranes and BBB * Non-polar, usually not ionized |
|
Full Agonists
|
*Maximum response/cellular effect
*Causes maximal change in cellular activity of target *Stabilizes DR* |
|
Partial Agonist
|
*Partial response
*Activates receptor without maximal efficacy *Stabilizes DR and DR* |
|
Inverse Agonist
|
*Inactivates free active receptors
*Stabilizes DR in the case of R* |
|
Competitive Antagonists
|
*Reduces potency but not efficacy
*Reversible binding blocks agonist at active site * Stabilizes DR, prevents DR* |
|
Noncompetitive Antagonists
|
*Irreversible binding blocks agonist at active or allosteric site
*Reduces efficacy * Stabilizes DR, prevents DR* |
|

|
|
LD50
Lethal Dose |
50% have lethal effects
|
|
TI
Therapeutic Index |
TD50/ED50
High TI = good = optimal Low TI = small window = hard to manage |
|
pKa
|
pH at which 50% of the drug is ionized
|
|
Pharmacokinetics: Absorption
|
GI Tract/Parenteral/Skin/Membranes
How quickly can it leave GI tract Bioavailability reaches & how much gets |
|
Pharmacokinetics: Distribution
|
Blood/Target Tissue
Vd effected: drugs with a low volume of distribution may be highly protein bound |
|
Pharmacokinetics: Metabolism
|
Liver/Tissue/Blood/CYP450 enzymes
Affected by substrate, inhibitor, inducer |
|
Pharmacokinetics: Excretion/Elimination
|
Kidney/lungs/fecal
|
|
Low Vd
|
Retained in Vascular compartment
|
|
High Vd
|
Highly distributed into non-vascular compartments
|
|
Vd
|
= Dose/[drug] plasma
volume of fluid required to contain the total amount of drug absorbed in the body at uniform concentrations equal to that in the plasma steady state |
|
Pharmacokinetics
|
True:
*Nonionized, lipophilic drugs favored for oral absorption *Weak acids are best absorbed in the stomach *Weak bases are best absorbed by the small intestine |
|
Protein Binding
|
*Drugs must be free (non-protein bound) in order to reach its site of action and be metabolized and eliminated
*Drugs with a LOW Vd may be highly protein bound and more likely to remain in the plasma compartment |
|
Metabolism: Phase 1
CYP450 Induction |
Increase transcription with translation
