Term
Bioavailability
Definition
The rate and extent at which an active drug is absorbed from the product and become available at the site of drug action.
- measure blood urine concentration
- Assumes drug at site of action = drug in the blood
Term
Absolute Bioavailability
Definition
(F) fraction of dose reaching systemic circulation: 0-1.
Measure blood concentration / time
Term
Bioequivalence
Definition
Compare formulations Cmax, Tmax, Auc
Cmax: maximum concentration
Tmax: time of Cmax
AUC (area under curve)
Term
Bioequivalent
Definition
Active ingredients of two products are the same, and rate and extent are the same
Term
Therapeutic Equivalence
Definition
Two drugs are administered similarly w/ same effect.
- Bioequivalent should be equal to therapeutic effect
Term
Relative Bioavailability
Definition
Comparing bioavailabilities
* 90% confidence interval
* 0.8-1.25 at 0.05 level of significance
Term
Pharmacokinetics: .
Definition
the measurement and analysis of an organism's time-dependent course of a pharmaceutical as it passes through the different fluids, tissues, and excreta of the body using compartmental or non-compartmental mathematical models
Term
Pharmacodynamics:
Definition
the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and the mechanisms of their actions, including the correlation of their actions and effects with their chemical structure
Term
Pharmacogenetics
Definition
The study of how the actions of and reactions to drugs, cary with the patients' genes
Term
Proteomics
Definition
the analysis of the expression, localization, functions, and interactions of the proteins produced by the genes of an organism
Term
Informatics
Definition
computerized automated delivery and manipulation of information to and by users of computer systems
Term
Therapeutic window
Definition
Area between MEC : minimum effective concentration and MTC: maximum toxic concentration.
Term
Factors affecting therapeutic window
Definition
patient compliance, pathophysiology, age, deit, drug interactions, physiology: gender/pregnancy
Term
Therarpy of Parkinson's Disease
Definition
Dopamine generating cells of substantia nigra, symptoms: shaking, rigidity, slow movement.
Tablet therapy: initially sinemet 25/100 q6-8 hours
- sinement ER doesed in three divided doses daily
* Duopa enteral supsension
- levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel delivered continuously via percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy tube
Term
Overton's rule of membrane permeability
Definition
entry of any molecule into a cell is the result of its "selective solubility" in the cell's boundary, and the more soluble in lipids the molecule is, the greater its permeability.
Term
P-Glycoprotein
Definition
primary active transporter
Extensively distributed and expressed in the intestinal epithelium, hepatocytes, renal proximal tubular cells, adrenal gland and capillary endothelail cells comprising the blood-brain and blood testis barrier.
- implicated in multi-drug resistance
- an efflux transporter, moving substrates from cytosol into extracellular region
Term
Cystic fibrosis
Definition
cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, 1480 amino acids.
- chloride and thiocyanate transport
Term
PepT1 intestinal peptide transporter
Definition
Reabsorption and uptake from GI lumen into enterocytes
Term
Antiport
Definition
e.g. sodium-calcium exchanger
Term
Symport
Definition
e.g. glucose transporter SGLT1, moves one glucose in with two sodium ions
Term
ADME
Definition
Absorption, Distriubution, Metabolism, Excretion
Term
Distribution
Definition
movement throughout the body
- blood perfusion, membrane permeability, tissue binding, partitioning
- Dispostion distribution and elimination
- Elimination: chemical transformation and/or physical removal of a drug
Term
Volume of distribution
Definition
Vd = total amount of drug in the body / drug blood plasma concentration
Term
Metabolism
Definition
Lipophilic drugs are more efficiently deposited in cells and tissues, are readily reabsorbed across renal tubular cells, tend to be highly bound to plasma proteins
- mteabolites tned to be more polar, more hydrophilic, more readily exreted by the kindeys and liver
Term
Phase I metabolism
Definition
cytochrome P450 microsomal enzymes, smooth endoplasmic reticulum of liver. Oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis. HOR
Term
PHase II metabolism
Definition
conjugation generally increases hydrophilicity for excretion by kidney or bile. Methylation sulphation, acetylation, glucuronidation
MAGS
Term
Phase III metabolism
Definition
Transporters: liver, intestine, kidney, brain
P-gp, mutlidrug resistance protein, OAT2
Term
First pass metabolism
Definition
After a drug is swallowed, it is absorbed by the digestive system and enters the hepatic portal system. It is carried through the portal vein into the liver before it reaches the rest of the body. The liver metabolizes many drugs, sometimes to such an extent that only a small amount of active drug emerges from the liver to the rest of the circulatory system. This greatly reduces the bioavailability of the drug.
Term
Enzyme induction -- inhibition
Definition
Enzyme induction is a process in which a molecule (e.g. a drug) induces (i.e. intiates or enhances) the expression of an enzyme.
Inhibition: inhibition of enzyme expression by another molecule, inteference at the enzyme-level, basically with enzyme function.
Term
HAART
Definition
Highly Active Anti-retroviral therapy, regimens to improve bioavailability of other drugs.
- Includes ritonavir an HIV protease inhibitor
Term
Excretion
Definition
Routes: urine, breath, feces, bile, milk, perspiration, saliva, tears and hair
- kidney most important organ
- feces: usually involve orally ingested unabsorbed drugs or metabolites excreted in the bile that are not reabsorbed from the intestinal tract
- pulmonary excretion is important as it pertains to the elimination of anesthetic gases and vapors as well as alcohol
Term
Low bioavailability causes
Definition
First-pass effect, drug chemical properties ( low water solubility, pka), insufficient time in GI tract , competing reactions, enzyme induction or inhibition, patient age, concomitant diseases
Term
Packaging Functions
Definition
Product ID and info, protection, convenience and compliance, containment during storage, attractive appearance.
Term
Container-closure system
Definition
sum of packaging components that together contain and protect the dosage form.
Primary: may be in contact with dosage form
Secondary: is not and will not be in direct contact with the dosage form
Term
Plastic Packaging Materials
Definition
Advantages: light weight, reduced volume, no corrosion, good resistance to mold/bacteria, gnearlly inert (caution with solvents), good impact strength, wide design and decorative possibilities, wide range of manufacturing processes
* Disadvantages: gas permeability, stress cracking, leaching, heat sensitive
Term
EPO & Leaching
Definition
1998, EPO from outside us, Polysorbate 80 and uncoated rubber stoppers or prefilled syringes. Protein denaturation.
Term
Barrier films
Definition
Protective properties change b/c thickness decreases. Good seal = 3mm from the edge of the blister cavity to the nearest edge or perforation is recommended
** Cold form foil is an extreme barrier for products that are moisture or light sensitive
Term
