Study Notes
Enzymes and Metabolism
- CYP 2C19 is the mitochondrial enzyme involved in the metabolism of clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitors.
- A drug's extent of ionization depends on its pKa and the pH of the solution it is dissolved in.
Drug-Protein Binding
- Acidic drugs bind to albumin in plasma.
- Basic drugs bind to alpha-1 acid glycoprotein in plasma.
- Drugs with higher affinity for a plasma protein can displace other drugs from the same protein.
Bioavailability
- Bioavailability is the percentage of a drug detected in the systemic circulation after its administration.
- Volume of plasma completely cleared of a specific compound per unit time is a measure of kidney function.
Volume of Distribution
- Volume of distribution (Vd) is the ratio of the dose administered IV to the plasma concentration.
Redistribution Phenomenon
- Redistribution phenomenon is seen in Thiopentone.
Conjugation Reactions
- Sulphonamide is conjugated with Acetylation.
- Oxidation is a nonsynthetic phase I reaction for drug detoxification.
Cytochrome P450 Enzymes
- CYP3A4 is the cytochrome P450 enzyme most commonly involved in drug metabolism.
- Ketoconazole is an enzyme inhibitor.
- Rifampicin is an enzyme inducer.
Drug Metabolism
- Grapefruit juice is an enzyme inhibitor.
- Phenobarbitone and Phenytoin are microsomal enzyme inducers.
- Valproate is not an enzyme inducer.
Pharmacodynamics
- Efficacy of a drug refers to the maximum response it can produce.
- Inverse agonist is a drug that binds to a receptor and causes an action opposite to that of an agonist.
Pharmacogenomics
- Pharmacogenomics is the study of how variations in the human genome affect the response to medications.
Dose-Response Curve
- A graded DRC shows the variation in sensitivity of response to increasing doses of a drug in different individuals.
- In competitive inhibition, Km increases, and Vmax remains unchanged.
- In non-competitive inhibition, Vmax decreases, and Km remains unchanged.
