Q

simple columnar epithelia

Study These Flashcards
A

usually in GI tract

23
Q

translational epithelia

Study These Flashcards
A

-several layers with dif shapes
-usually need to stretch

24
Q

Stratified squamous epithelia

Study These Flashcards
A

-multiple layers of squamous cells that cover wear and tear areas like skin

25
Endothelial cells
line inside surfaces of body cavities, blood vessels, lymph -simple squamous
26
Cell membrane
-semi-permeable -lipid composition is POLARIZED, and intracellular membrane lipids different from extracellular
27
Cholesterol in membranes
-provides fluidity at low levels -too much can cause phase transition
28
atherosclerosis
hardening of membrane from liquid to crystalline state because of cholesterol in the vascular system
29
Permeability coefficient: used in membrane and cell-based assays
Papp = (dQ/dt) / A*Co*60 cmsec^(-1) dQ/dt= amt of compund appearing on receiver side as function of time A=surface area of filter support Co=initial concentratioin of compound apllied to donor side 1/Papp = (1/PM)+(1/PABLFC)
30
PAMPA sandwich system for permeability assays
-donor and acceptor plates (sandwich) -acceptor wells (pH buffer + surfactant) -donor wells (pH buffer + sample) -membrane sandwiched between acceptor and donor well (plates)
31
Lipid composition
-vary according to organ -high in blood brain barrier -changes influence absorption and function of cells
32
Transport mechanisms
-passive (non-saturable) -carrier-mediated (saturable)
33
Passive (non-saturable) transport
-paracellular -transcellular =through and between cells -Fick's first Law idk prob doesnt matter
34
carrier-mediated (saturable)
-active (energy dependent) -facilitated diffusion (energy independent)
35
paracellular transport
-hydrophobicity -size and shape -pKa
36
transcellular transport
-lipophilicity (hydrophobicity)(H bond potential) -size and shape -pKa
37
Typical Permeability Assays
-PAMPA: passive, during exploratory -Caco-2: passive, active, paracellular, during development -both: mech info, during discovery and pre development
38
Caco-2 vs PAMPA permeability graph
y=x -slope=passive diffusion -top left half is ABSORPTIVE influx/uptake and/or paracellular transport -bottom right half is SECRETORY and efflux transport, metabolism
39
Permeability deviations
-some hindered due to drug resistance/secretory transporters (efflux) -some enhanced by absorptive influx permeability
40
Drug Transporters
-membrane bound proteins -move molecules across membranes -determinant of tissue and cellular distribution of drugs -variations in transporter activity can affect drug response
41
Nutrient and Xenobiotic transporter types
-SLC -ABC
42
Nutrient and Xenobiotic transporters nomenclature
transporter type; family number; species variant ex: PepT1 --> SLC 15 A1 *no spaces just wanted to show breakdown
43
Solute carrier (SLC)
-43 subfamilies ->300 identified -generally infux or secretory efflux transporters -PepT1, OATs, OATPs
44
ATP-binding Cassette (ABC)
-7 subfamilies -50 members -generally efflux-multidrug resistant transporters -P-glycoprotein, MRPs
45
Absorption routes of permeability
A. Influx transporter mediated (through) B. passive transcellular (through) C. passive transcellular and efflux (through then out) D. Passive paracellular (between) E. metabolism (inside) F. Efflux of metabolites (out)
46
Influx transporters
substrates INTO cells
47
Efflux transporters
substrates OUT of cells
48
Absorptive transporters
substrates into blood circulation
49
Secretory transporters
substrates from blood into bile, urine, GI lumen
50
Permeability barrier
Pbarrier = Ppara + Ppassive transport + P active1transport + P activeNtransport -efflux and metabolism give negative values
51
Passive Paracellular Permeation (Ppara)
-linear increase in permebility with increasing concentration -adjuvants can open tight junctions and increase transport
52
Passive transcellular permeation
-permeability increase with concentration increase -dissolution/solubility limited with high lipophilicity
53
Facilitated/Active transcellular permeation
-affinity (KM), capacity (Vmax) -concentration dependent saturation -expression level (constitutive, induced) -function (interactions, inhibition) -excipients can limit effects of efflux by Pgp or BCRP
