What are the most susceptible organs to direct toxicity?
Liver Kidneys Lungs
What bloodwork is done in detection of Liver Damage?
AST: Aspartate Transaminase
ALT: Alanine Transaminase
Bilirubin
Albumin (DECREASE if damaged)
High likelihood of damage due to functionality. Receives 25% of the cardiac output.
Kidney
What bloodwork is done in detection of Kidney Damage?
BUN: Blood Urea Nitrogen
Creatinine
What are the five types of Lung damage?
Irritation, Allergic Response, Cell Damage, Fibrosis, Pulmonary Cancer
What decreases if a Lung is damaged?
FEV Forced Expiratory Vital Capacity
When is teratogenesis most susceptible to gross anatomical abnormalities?
During Organogenesis (18-55 days)
Drug interacts directly with DNA, DNA damage, Base substitutions, additions or deletions.
Mutagenesis
Chromosomal damage
Clastogenesis
Acquisition or loss of complete chromosomes
Aneugenesis
What are the 3 phases of drug activity?
Pharmaceutic, Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic
Occurs after the drug is given and involves disintegration and dissolution of the dosage form. Affected by the form of the drug and the route of administration.
Pharmaceutic Phase
What happens to the drug as it moves through the body.
Pharmacokinetic phase
What does ADME stand for in the Pharmacokinetic phase?
Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion
What factors impact Absorption?
Drug Ionization, Lipid Solubility, Presence or Absence in the Stomach, Drug Formulation, Circulation/Route of Administration
What is the order of fastest to slowest absorption of drug types?
Lipid soluble non ionized liquids, Water soluble ionized liquids, Suspension solutions, Powders, Capsules, Tablets, Coated Tablets, Enteric Coated Tablets
What are the major sites of absorption?
GI tract, Lungs, Skin
What are the Parenteral sites of Absorption?
Intravenous, Intramuscular, Subcutaneous, Intraperitoneal
What is the major route of absorption and mostly PASSIVE diffusion?
GI tract
What have a Large surface area and ample blood supply and absorption occurs by passive diffusion here.
Lungs
The epidermis is packed with what?
Keratin
The % of a dose that reaches the bloodstream is referred to as the _____ of the drug. Typically _____ of oral medications reach blood.
BIOAVAILABILITY; 20-40%
How much Drug reaches Organs/Area of the body depends on what four things?
Plasma protein binding, Blood Flow, Presence of specific Tissue Barriers, Selective Distribution
Only UNBOUND (Free) drug molecules can exert a pharmacological effect!!!!
