25
Where are the cyp450 isoenzymes located?
The SER of lungs liver GIT and kidney
26
What are the 3 isoenzymes of CYP 450?

27
What is the substrate, inhibitors and inducers of CYP1A
Substrate: Theophylline Inhibitors: Macrolides and fluoroquinolone Inducers: aromatic hydrocarbons
28
What is the substrate, inducer and inhibitor of cyp2D6
Substrate: Codeine and metaprolol Inhibitors: haloperidol and quinidine
29
What is the substrate, inducer and inhibitor of CYP3A4
Substrate: a wide range Inducer: general cyp450 inducers Inhibitor: Azoles, macrolides, acute alcohol intake, cimetidine
30
What are the general inducers of cyp450 enzyme?
- phenobarbital - phenotoyin - chronic alcoholism - carbamazepine - rifampin - St. John wort Sir Rifampin Can’t Come to our Private Property
31
What drug inhibits the cyp450 enzyme generally?
- azoles - acute alcoholism - macrolides - cimetidine - cranberry juice - sodium valproate - omeprazole - ciprofloxacin - allopurinol - ritunavir - amiodarone - SSRI
32
——- is an autoinducer of CYP450 such that whatever it does affects itself.
Carbamazepine
33
Drugs that cause drug induced SLE
- INH - Hydralazine - Statins - Procainamide - Phenytoin - Penicillamine - Quinidine NHIS PQ
34
What drugs increase the first pass effect?
``` Lidocaine: anti arrhythmic Propanol: beta blocker Verapamil: Ca blocker Aspirin: NSAIDS Testosterone Corticosteroids ``` (Very Poor Little CAT)
35
What is the most common form of elimination?
- 1st Order
36
What are drugs that take part in the zero order elimination process?
High doses of - Ethanol - phenytoin - Salicylates (Aspirin) PEA shaped like a O(Zero)
37
Clearance =
Rate of drug elimination/Plasma concentration Or Volume of distribution (Vd) X elimination constant ( Ke)
38
Clearance formula in renal
Clearance = Free form x GFR
39
Distinguish between the half life for zero order and first order
Half life is constant for First order elimination but it is not fixed for zero order elimination.
40
What is the mathematical calculation of half life?
T1/2 = 0.7 x Vd/CL
41
CSS is dependent on T1/2 True/false
True
42
Difference between the mathematical steady state and clinical state
Mathematical steady state takes >7 t1/2 while clinical steady state takes >4 t1/2
43
What is the formula of Css?
Css= Ro/CLt Ro: the rate of infusion (does not change the time needed to reach CSS but it changes the concentration. CLt: total clearance
44
What is the mathematical calculation of Ro
Ro = Pc X CLt Plasma concentration of the drug
45
So is dosing rate same as rate of infusion ?
Yes
46
What is the mathematical definition of maintenance dose
MD = Dosing rate X Dosing interval Ro X DI Or Cp X Cl X ^ /F Pie(^) is dosing interval
47
What is the calculation of loading dose?
LD = Vd X Css Note if BV is less than 1 you should double the loading dose. From FA—> LD = Cp X Vd / F(bioavailability)
48
What are the characteristics of a drug receptor complex
- Antagonism - Agonists - Efficacy - Potency
49
What are the characteristics of a graded dose-response curve
- Affinity - potency - Efficacy - Antagonism
50
Affinity is
The ability to bind to the receptor Closer to the y axis is more affinity
51
Potency is
How much drug is required to produce a response Determined by the affinity and the two drugs must have same efficacy Represented by the. X-value
52
Efficacy is
Maximum response provided by a drug More efficient is the drug with the highest reached by the curve on y-axis Increased y-value = increased Vmax
53
In The presence of Agonist partial agonist acts as ?
A nonCompetitive antagonist as the efficacy is decreased but with independent potency decrease
54
On the dose-response curves, competitive antagonists move agonist to where
A parallel shift to the right It also decreases its potency
55
Most antagonist are?
Competitive
56
On the dose-response curves, non-competitive antagonists move agonist to where
A non-parallel shift to the right It decreases both just efficiency and potency stays the same
57
How many are the non-competitive drugs and what are they?
SPOD - succinylcholine CoA: nicotinic receptor - phenoxybenzamine: alpha receptors - organo phosphorus compound: AchE - Diazoxide:Alpha receptors
58
What is pharmacological antagonism
An agonist and an antagonist competing for a single receptor and producing opposing effects
59
Explain physiological antagonism
An agonist and an antagonist acting on different receptors but producing different opposing effects
60
What is chemical antagonism?
The binding of a drug to another that the formation of complex between the effector drug and another compound reverses the action.
61
What is the effective dose?
The amount of drug required to produce a response in 50% of test individuals
62
What is a median toxic dose TD50
The amount of drug required to produce a toxic effect in 50% of test individuals
63
What is a median lethal dose (LD50)
The amount of drug required to kill 50% of test individuals.
64
What is therapeutic index
The relative safety of a drug TI= LD/ED OR TI= TD/ED
65
Drugs with very low therapeutic index
- lithium - Warfarin - theophylline - digoxin - anti epileptic drugs Warning these drugs are lethal
66
What are the phases of drug testing
1- is it safe (safety and dosage on healthy humans) 2- does it work (efficacy and effectiveness) 3- is it better (safety, side effects,effectiveness) 4- can it stay (long term pros and cons post approval surveillance ) FDA approval occurs after phase 3
67
What is the Micheal is menten kinetics?
It is Vi/o = [Vmax (S)] / [Km + (S)]
68
In renal and liver dx ——- dose is decreased and _______ dose is unchanged
Maintenance dose Loading dose
69
Time to reach steady state depends on _____
T1/2 half life And it is independent on dose and dosing frequency
70
An increase in dose of drug leads to a ____ in the concentration of Cs
Increase
71
More Pka mean
More basic
72
Less Pka mean
More acidic
73
Examples of competitive antagonist
Diazepam (agonist) + Flimazenil (antagonist) on GABA receptor
74
Examples of non competitive antagonist
Norepinephrine (agonist) + phenoxybenzamine (antagonist) on alpha receptors
75
Examples of partial competitive inhibitors
Morphine (full agonist) + buprenorphine (partial agonist) at opioid receptors
76
Example of an addictive drug effect
Aspirin and acetaminophen
77
Give an example of a permissive drug effect modification
Cortisol required for corticosteroids responsiveness
78
An example of synergistic drug effect
Clopidogrel with Aspirin
79
An example of potentiation drug effect modification
Carbidopa with no other therapeutic effect that to block the peripheral conversion of levodopa
80
An example of antagonism drug effect
Ethanol antidote for methanol poisoning
81
Drugs that exhibit tachyphylactic drug effect
``` Hydralazine Niacin Nitrate Phenylephrine LSD MDMA ```
