Discuss Michaelis-Menten kinetics:
Discuss the Lineweaver-Burk plot:
Discuss enzyme inhibition:
Overall summary of enzyme kinetics
What is bioavailability?

IV vs. oral--
Fraction of administered drug that reaches systemic circulation unchanged.

For an IV dose, F = 100%.

Orally: F typically <100% to incomplete absorption and first-pass metabolism.
Discuss volume of distribution:
what can alter Vd?
Discuss half life:
Discuss drug clearance:
what can impair it?
Discuss drug dosage calculations:
in renal and liver disease?
Discuss zero-order drug elimination:
Discuss first-order drug elimination:
Discuss urine pH and drug elimination:
weak acids--
weak bases--
Discuss phase I and phase II drug metabolism:
considerations in geriatric patients?
What is efficacy?

What is potency?

give examples of classes with high efficacy/potency
Efficacy: Maximal effect a drug can produce. High-efficacy drug classes are analgesic (pain) medications, antibiotics, antihistamines, and decongestants. Partial agonists have less efficacy than full agonists.

Potency: Amount of drug needed for a given effect. Higher potency means higher affinity for receptor. Highly potent drug classes include chemotherapeutic (cancer) drugs, antihypertensive (blood pressure) drugs, and antilipid (cholesterol) drugs.
Discuss receptor binding in the context of competitive agonists, noncompetitive agonists, and partial agonists:
What is the therapeutic index?
What is the therapeutic window?
Measure of clinical drug safety. Range of minimum effective close to minimum toxic dose.
Diagram summary of CNS/PNS, with neurotransmitters and receptors:
Discuss kinds of ACh receptors:
Nicotinic ACh receptors are ligand-gated Na+/K+ channels; there are NN (found in autonomic ganglia) and NM (found in neuromuscular junction) subtypes.

Muscarinic ACh receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors that act through 2nd messengers; 5 subtypes: M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5.

Cholinomimetic agents:
List 4 direct agonists:
and their clinical applications:
and their actions:
Cholinomimetic agents:
List 5 Indirect agonists (anticholinesterases):
and their clinical applications:
and their actions:
Discuss Cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning:
Often due to organophosphates, such as parathion, that irreversibly inhibit AChE.

Causes Diarrhea, Urination, Miosis, Bronchospasm, Bradycardia, Excitation of skeletal muscle and CNS, Lacrimation, Sweating, and Salivation.


Antidote: atropine + pralidoxime (regenerates active AChE).

*DUMBBELSS.

Organophosphates are components of insecticides; poisoning usually seen in farmers.
