how would you want to mix a weak base in order to increase its water solubility?

A

mix the weak base with an acid to make it more ionized.

53
Q

in relation to a weak base, is solubility and pH directly proportional or inversely proportional?

A

inversely proportional. To increase solubility you decrease pH and vice versa.

54
Q

why is it important to have a drug stored in its ionized form?

A

to not cause precipitation

55
Q

mix with opposite means what?

A

if you have a weak acid or base you want to mix it for storage with the opposite pH solution in order to create a more ionic solution and have it be water soluble and not form a precipitate.

56
Q

tell me the four points of Le Chatelier’s Principle?

A

a. When a system in a state of dynamic equilibrium is disturbed, it will react to re-establish the equilibrium condition.
b. Nature likes being in an equilibrium state (homeostasis)
c. Changing reaction conditions (concentrations, temperature, etc.) moves the system away from being at equilibrium.

non-ionized or lipid-soluble form of barbiturate. This from can cross the cell membrane and readily absorb.

71
Q

What is Barb-

A

ionized or water-soluble form of barbiturate. This form cannot cross the cell membrane and not readily absorb.

72
Q

what denotes ionization?

A

a charge, thus if any letter or word has a charge associated then it is ionized.

73
Q

What happens when a patient has acidosis and takes a weak acid barbiturate such as thiopental?

A

Weak acid mixed with acidic solution means more non-ionized drug to absorb into lipid bi-layers thus more drug absorbed (non-ionized portion) throughout.

74
Q

weak acid drug mixed with acidic solution, which way will the reaction shift?

A

shift backwards forming more non-ionizing form.

75
Q

acid + acid =?

A

Non-ionized

76
Q

weak acids (thiopental) and other barbiturates partially dissociate to give off H+ (proton doner), what does that do the overall pH?

A

decreases the pH

77
Q

what happens when a patient has alkalosis and takes a weak acid drug?

A

the weak acid becomes more ionized (decreasing H+, and thus increasing the pH)

78
Q

if a weak acid drug is mixed with a patients alkalotic pH which way will the reaction shift?

What is it?

A

LAH+

85
Q

If a patient has acidosis and you give them a LA what will occur?

A

weak base becomes more ionized when the patient has acidosis (increased H+, decreased pH)

86
Q

a reaction that shifts forward forms more what? ionized or non ionized form?

A

more ionized form

87
Q

if you mix an acid with a base then which way will the reaction shift? (this is the case with LA and an acidic patient)

A

shift forward

88
Q

what form is not absorbed by the cells, ionized or non ionized?

A

ionized form is not absorbed through the lipid bilayer.

89
Q

patient has alkalosis and you give them a LA , what happens?

A

weak base becomes more non - ionized

90
Q

which way will the reaction shift if you give a LA to an alkalotic patient?

A

the reaction will shift backwards.

91
Q

what form of a drug will absorb rapidly?

A

non-ionized

92
Q

Tell me what pH solution you would mix with a LA in order to have it absorb rapidly inside the body?

A

A basic solution, high pH

93
Q

when pH = pKa how much of the drug is ionized and non ionized?

A

50/50

94
Q

if thiopental with a pH of 7.6 is mixed with a pH of 7.4 then what will occur to the ionized and non ionized portion?

A

more of the drug will become non-ionized and less of the drug will be ionized.
this is because you are mixing a weak acid with a slightly acidic solution, acid + acid = more non-ionized drug form.

95
Q

what form of a drug do you want in the body in order to absorb? Is this what you want in a bag during storage? why?

A

in the body you want non-ionized so the drug can pass through lipid bilayer of the cell.
In a storage bac you want ionized form of a drug so that precipitate is not formed when mixed with water.

96
Q

Why do you not want the non-ionized form of a drug during storage?

A

when the non-ionized form is dissolved in water a precipitate will form.

97
Q

what form of the drug do you want it to be in during storage?

A

IONIZED- WATER SOLUBLE

98
Q

Induction of thiopental (weak acid) be faster if the patient is acidotic or alkalotic?

A

It will be faster if the patient is acidotic.

weak acid with acid = more non ionized form thus it can cross into the cell and work quicker. cross BBB

99
Q

Should you mix thiopental with acidic (low pH) solution?

A

No, Thipental a weak acid should be mixed with a basic solution for storage, this stops precipitate from forming.

100
Q

Why is thiopental is mixed and stored in a solution with pH = 10-11?

A

To increase the ionized form of the drug and prevent a precipitate from forming.

101
Q

you store drug forms in the same or opposite pH?

A

store in OPPOSITE

102
Q

What happens when lidocaine is injected into the body at pH=7.4?

A

Lidocaine is a weak base with a pH of 7.7, thus if injected into a solution that is 7.4 (acidic) more ionized form will be present thus less of the drug will cross the lipid bi-layers and less absorbed readily.

103
Q

what does ionized or non ionized form have to do with a fetus?

A

non ionized portions of drugs can be transferred across the placenta to fetus.

104
Q

mom pH vs fetal pH?

A

mom typically 7.4 and fetus is typically 7.2

105
Q

Tell me what fetal ion trapping is?

A

When a drug enters mom’s blood stream and is or becomes non-ionized it can then cross into the fetus via the placenta. Once with the fetus who is more acidic than mom the drug form will change to ionized and then can not cross back out of the placenta, thus “fetal ion trapping.” the more acidic the fetus the more ion trapping the more circulation of the drug and the more fetal toxicity.

106
Q

LA and fetal ion trapping?

A

LA 7.7, mom 7.4, fetus 7.2

thus whatever portion left in mom that is non ionized can still cross to the fetus (about 24%) and then become trapped and cause drug toxicity.

107
Q

ionized or non ionized drug is excreted in the urine?

A

typically ionized is trapped and can not be reabsorbed back into the blood and is then excreted in the urine (ion trapping)

108
Q

ionized or non ionized, which are freely filtered?

A

BOTH

109
Q

If you have an overdose of a weak acid what would you give to someone to try and make them urinate it out?

A

something to make their urine basic, to trap the acid drug.

treat overdose of acidic drug with Sodium bicarbonate

110
Q

what is urine alkalization or acidification?

A

treating someone with an overdose of an acid or basic drug form with the opposite pH in order to have them urinate the drug out.

111
Q

examples of weak acids that trap in basic envioroments?

A

phenobarbital, methotrexate, TCAs, aspirin

112
Q

what would you give to someone to treat an overdose with a basic drug?

A

give them an acidic med to acidify the urine

treat OD with ammonium chloride (NH4CL)

113
Q

Example of a weak base drug overdosed on commonly?

A

amphetamines

114
Q

the trapped portion of the chemical equation is?

A

the drug portion that has a charge, bc a charge denotes ionization and thus excretion.

115
Q

is lipid soluble or nonlipid soluble drug reabsorbed by the kidney tubules?

A

lipid soluble is reabsorbed and to be lipid soluble you must be non ionized.

116
Q

Aspirin is a weak acid or base?

A

weak acid

117
Q

what form of an acid can back diffuse from urine to blood?

A

HA form bc that is the non ionized form.

118
Q

what would you alkalinize the urine with?

A

NAHCO3

119
Q

if the urine was alkaline (you gave sodium bicarb) with an aspirin OD, what form of the acid would then predominate and what does that then cause?

A

the ionized (A-) would predominate, there would be less back diffusion, more trapping and more excretion of the drug in urine.

120
Q

What would happen if you acidify the urine of someone who has an aspirin OD?

A

The urine would be more acidic, HA form predominates, there is more back diffusion and less excretion of the weak acid.

121
Q

if someone OD with amphetamine what would you use to treat?

A

Ammonium chloride - NH4Cl would acidify the urine.

122
Q

Morphine is a weak base, how would you treat an OD in relation to excretion?

A

give something to acidify the urine (create more ionized form of the morphine), thus give ammonium chloride.

123
Q

If a patient has cirrhosis they can not metabolize base thus what levels increase?

A

NH3 levels increase

124
Q

where is NH3 absorbed and what does it cause?

A

absorbed in the gut and can cause toxicity

125
Q

How would you treat a patient who has elevated NH3 levels? and why does this work?

A

give lactulose, it will convert into lactic acid.
acid + base = ionized form NH4+
the ionized form is traped and excreted from the gut.
