Pharmacokinetics Flashcards
pharmokinectic
component of drug actions, the dynamic factors that contribute to bioavailability
bioavailability
amount of drug in the blood that is free to bind at target sites
Factors that constitute the components of pharmacokinetic drug action
1.) Routes of administration
2.) Absorption and distribution
3.) Binding
4.) Inactivation
5.) Excretion
enteral
drugs via oral , goes to the stomach
parental
no oral administration, indirectly to the muscle
absorption
the movement of the drug from the site of administration to the blood circulation
intranasal administration
the drug moves very rapidly across a single epithelial cell layer into the bloodstream, avoiding first-pass liver metabolism and producing higher bioavailability than if given orally.
the most important factor in determining plasma drug levels is
the rate of passage through cell membranes
drug depots (silent receptors )
binding at inactive sites where no biological effect is initiated
includes plasma proteins, muscle, and fat
drugs are eliminated via BLANk and metabolites are excreted
biotransformation
2 types of biotransformation
type I = changes involve nonsynthetic modification of the drug molecule by oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis
type II= modification are synthetic reaction that require the combination of the drug with some small molecule
factors that influence the rate of biotransformation
enzyme induction
enzyme inhibition
drug competition
