Q

Pharmacokinestics is broken down farther into

A

two basic ways that drugs are metabolized through biotransformers

24
Q

pharmacokinestics phases

A

phase 1

phase 2

25
Q

phase 1 metabolism

A

attach a polar group onto the compound to make it more soluble; usually a hydroxylation step

26
Q

phase 2 metabolism

A

attach a sugar/acetyl group to detoxify the drug and make it easier to excrete

27
Q

Frameshift –>

A

alter reading frame –> NO ACTIVITY

28
Q

splicing–>

A

skip exons and/or alter reading frame–> no activity

29
Q

missense –>

A

alter protein function–> usually REDUCED ACTIVITY

30
Q

copy number alleles –>

A

increased gene copy alleles –> INCREASED (ULTRAFAST)

31
Q

based on the combinations (since individuals have 2 alleles in their genotypes), have 3 major phenotypes

A
  1. normal
  2. poor (includes null alleles)
  3. ultrarapid/ultrafast
32
Q

A single 8 oz glass of grapefruit juice can inhibit _______ activity for 24-48 hours.

A

CYP3A

(largely through intestinal inhibition of CYP3A).

33
Q

drinking grapefruit juice while taking felodipine for hypertension can lead to ________

A

significant hypotension due to potentiation of the felodipine effect since CYP3A activity is reduced and metabolism/elimination of felodipine is similarly slowed.

34
Q

Dosage of the immunosuppressive drug _______ (used in kidney transplants for instance) must be reduced by _____% to avoid toxicity when the _________ is added to treat a fungal infection.

A

cyclosporine

75%

antifungal ketoconazole

35
Q

Mechanism- ketoconazole temporarily inhibits _____ metabolism which leads to raised levels of _______ which can be neprotoxic.

A

CYP3A

cyclosporine

36
Q

Renal transplant patient who is exposed to tuberculosis and requires________:

A

rifampin prophylaxis:

37
Q

the dose of cyclosporine must be ______ since rifampin is a _____ inducer and leads to more ______.

A

increased

CYP3

rapid metabolism and elimination of cyclosporine.

If you fail to take this into account, the cyclosporine levels will decrease and organ rejection will become a problem.

Q

mechanism of G6PD drugs

A
