16
Q

major drug binding plasma proteins

A

-albumin
-a1-acid glycoprotein
-lipoproteins

17
Q

albumin

A

-most abundant plasma protein (50%)
-produced in liver
-binds fatty acids, hormones, and weakly acidic drugs

18
Q

albumin function

A

-maintain oncotic pressure of blood

19
Q

albumin serum levels

A

decreased in liver and kidney disease

20
Q

a1-acid glycoprotein (AAG)

A

-aka orosomucoid
-produced in liver
-binds weakly basic drugs (3’ or 4’ amines)

21
Q

a1-acid serum levels

A

-increase during acute phase reaction (inflammation and. burns)
-DECREASED in liver and kidney disease

22
Q

Lipoproteins

A

-lipophilic protein or complex of protiens and lipids
-HDL, LDL
-binds hydrophobic drugs
-altered in heart disease state

23
Q

Free drug Hypothesis

A

-only free drugs:

-exit capillaries
-cross membrane via diffusion
-bind transporters

24
Q

Plasma protein-binding

A

is reversible

25
Q

Free drug concentration

A

-same on both sides of membrane at equilibrium

26
Q

Plasma

A

-liquid component of blood where blood cells are suspended (yellow)
-makes up 55% blood volume
-contains fibrinogen, globulins, albumin

27
Q

Serum

A

-blood allowed to coagulate, clot, and settle at bottom of tube
-supernatant fluid
-devoid of blood cells, fibrins, and clotting factors
-contains plasma proteins

28
Q

Unbound fraction (fu)

A

Free drug concentration (Cu)/Total drug concentration (C)

29
Q

Ultrafiltration

A

-allow only free drug to be filtered
-allow estimate of unbound fraction

30
Q

Determinants of Vd

A

-increase when fu increases
-decrease when FuT increases

31
Q

Ionized compounds show poorer membrane permeability than un-ionized compounds

A

TRUE

32
Q

Lipophilic compounds tend to show greater membrane permeability

A

TRUE

33
Q

Lipophilic compounds tend to show permeability rate-limited distribution

A

-FALSE
-PERFUSION rate-limited

34
Q

Decreased plasma protein binding of high protein-bound drugs will likely increase Vd

A

TRUE

35
Q

Vd is expected to be small for a drug that exhibits strong binding to tissue components

A

FALSE
-it will be large

36
Q

fut

A

-unbound drug fraction in tissues
-Vd will be smaller for more unbound franstion
