Q

Glomerular Filtration

A

20% of renal plasma flow is filtered thru glomerular capillaries (GFR=120mL/min and declines due to aging or disease)
- Only small and free drugs can pass thru glomerular capillaries into the filtrate
-altered plasma protein binding can influence filtration

Q

[2]Passive reabsorption

A
  • most filtrate returns to circulation through peritubular capillaries (1% becomes urine)
  • Water reabsorption → drug concentration ↑ in the filtrate
    • passive diffusion - small, lipophilic and unionised drugs
  • transporter-mediated (e.g., PEPT2 and peptide-like drugs)
  • urine pH affects drug ionisation and reabsorption

Q

Peritubular capillaries

A

Peritubular capillaries are tiny blood vessels in your kidneys. They filter waste from your blood so the waste can leave your body through urine (pee). Peritubular capillaries also reabsorb nutrients your body needs to work properly, such as minerals.

Q

Salicylate overdose facts

A
  • Aspirin or methyl salicylic acid (e.g., infant teething gels)
  • i.v. sodium bicarbonate (an alkalinising agent) injected intravenously.
  • ↑ urine pH
  • ↑ salicylic acid ionisation
  • ↓ reabsorption of salicylate

Q

Salicylate overdose explain

Study These Flashcards
A

Sodium bicarbonate (administered intravenously) increases the pH of the blood. By raising the blood pH, sodium bicarbonate facilitates the ionisation of salicylic acid, converting it into a less toxic form, salicylate ions.

By increasing urine pH, sodium bicarbonate facilitates the conversion of salicylic acid into its ionized form, which is more readily excreted in urine.

24
Q

Only what type of molecules can cross cell membranes (Ion ro Union)

25
Active tubular secretion
Peritubular capillaries→ the tubular lumen - occurs predominantly in proximal tubules - mediated by transporters
26
Basolateral membrane and its transporters
the cell membrane which is oriented away from the lumen of the tubule Solute carrier (SLC) transporters liver-specific OATP1B1/1B3 - uptake of drugs and metabolites into hepatocytes
27
Apical membrane and its transporters
cell membrane which is oriented towards the lumen ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters efflux transporters - eliminate large and polar molecules into bile
28
Lumen
The lumen is the space within the body's tracts, tubes, cavities, and cells
29
solute carrier (SLC) transporters
- SLC22A6 - OAT1 (organic anion transporter 1) - SLC22A8 - OAT3 (organic anion transporter 3)
30
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters
- ABCB1 - MDR1 (multidrug resistance protein 1) or P-gp (P-glycoprotein) - ABCC2 - MRP2 (multidrug resistance-associated protein 2) - ABCG2- BCRP (breast cancer resistance protein)
31
MDR1
- large lipophilic cationic compounds - neutral compounds multidrug resistance protein 1
32
Transporter-mediated active secretion (basolateral membrane)
OAT1 and OAT3 * overlapping substrate specificity
33
Transporter-mediated active secretion (OAT1/3-mediated drug excretion)
e.g., cephalexin (a drug of the cephalosporin class) - mostly excreted unchanged via urine - glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion - drug-drug interaction: probenecid* (an OAT1/OAT3 inhibitor; pharmacokinetic enhancer) co-administration - Cmax - AUC
34
Hepatobiliary excretion
hepatocytes produce and secrete bile - stored in the gallbladder - drained into bile duct then duodenum drug excreted into bile - glucuronides are concentrated in bile
35
drug metabolising enzymes produce ___ ____
conjugated metabolites
36
Basolateral membrane transporters:
e.g., liver-specific OATP1B1/1B3 - uptake of drugs and metabolites into hepatocytes
37
Apical membrane transporters:
efflux transporters - eliminate large and polar molecules into bile
38
Enterohepatic recirculation
Lipophilic drugs (e.g., morphine*) undergo absorption ↓ hepatic metabolism ↓ conjugates excreted into bile ↓ glucuronides in the GI tract [hydrolysed by ß-glucuronidase (expressed by GI bacteria)] ↓ generate unconjugated drug ↓ Back to Lipophilic drugs (e.g., morphine*) undergo absorption
39
Enterohepatic recirculation Morphine
hydrolysed by ß-glucuronidase (expressed by GI bacteria) ↓ Morphine back to parent drug ↓ reabsorbed to systemic circulation ↓ Prolonged effects of morphine and long half-life
40
Breast milk as a minor route of drug excretion
Most drugs enter breast milk via passive diffusion - can be important for lipophilic and basic drugs (breast milk is slightly acidic) [Slides]
41
Individual variation in drug response definition
individual variation in drug response refers to differences in response between individuals to the same dose of a drug
42
Individual variation in drug response: intrinsic factors
genetics, age, sex, disease status or physiological conditions such as pregnancy
43
Individual variation in drug response: extrinsic factors
concomitant medications, diet and exposure to chemicals and other environmental causes
44
single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
- e.g., drug metabolising enzymes - common and clinically important - CYP SNPs -CYP2D6 is most polymorphic
45
Drug clearance definition
Drug clearance refers to the efficiency of drug elimination, defined as the ratio of the elimination rate (e.g., mg∙h-1) to the concentration of drug in plasma (e.g., mg∙L-1)
46
Drug clearance
- the volume of plasma that would be completely cleared of drug per unit time (e.g., L∙h-1) - total body clearance = hepatic clearance + renal clearance + clearance by other routes OR - clearance by a specific organ; renal clearance = glomerular filtration + active secretion - reabsorption
47
fe- the fraction of administered drug excreted ____ in the urine
unchanged
48
Drug clearence dose adjustment due to impaired renal or hepatic functions
- renal impairment - eGFR - hepatic impairment - Child-Pugh score
49
Hepatic clearance influence fe
low fe lots of hepatic metabolism and metabolites are excretede
50
renal clearance influence fe
high fe little or no hepatic metabolism and the parent drug is eexcreted
51
Determine total body clearance
Slides
52
Drug bioavailability definition
Drug bioavailability (F) is the fraction of administered dose of the parent drug that reaches the systemic circulation
53
If a drug is administered intravenously what is the bioavailability of the drug in a fraction or %
1 or 100%
54
Drug bioavailability
- intravenously administered drug bypasses absorption and first-pass metabolism - F = ? - drug administered by other routes - F is between 0 (or 0%) and 1 (or 100%)
55
Drug bioavailability Equations on slides
Drug elimination last slide
56
Probenecid
* (an OAT1/OAT3 inhibitor; pharmacokinetic enhancer) co-administration. Will increase: - Cmax - AUC
