Lecture 6

1.
What is ADME?
"Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion"
2.
What is the difference between A and D?
"A is bloodstream, D is target"
3.
What is IDE?
"Input, distribution, elimination"
4.
What is elimination?
Metabolism and excretion
5.
What is ADME for?
Determining concentration of drug in the body
6.
What is the largest reason for clinical failure of pre 2000 drugs?
ADME processes
7.
What is the largest reason for clinical failure of drugs today?
Efficacy
8.
What is the process of drugs entering the body called?
Dosage
9.
What is the process of drugs entering the blood stream called?
Absorption
10.
What factors effect distribution?
"Binding to plasma proteins, binding and storage in tissues"
11.
What are the main modes of metabolism?
Plasma -> metabolism -> metabolites -> plasma
12.
What do the ADME processes determine?
Concentration
13.
What are properties that influence ADME?
"Solubility, lipophilicity, ionisation"
14.
What determines susceptibility to metabolism?
Chemical structure
15.
What is the main organ involved with absorption?
GI tract
16.
What is the main organ involved with metabolism?
Liver
17.
What are the main organs associated with excretion?
"Lungs, kidneys"
18.
19.
What must exist in order for passive diffusion to take place?
"Concentration gradient, drug must be lipophilic, uncharged, small"
20.
Where does passive diffusion take place?
GI tract esp. small intestine
21.
What is the pathway for passive diffusion in GI tract?
Gut lumen -> cells lining lumen -> blood stream
22.
What is Fick's rate of diffusion determined by?
"Concentration, area membrane, membrane thickness, permeability constant"
23.
What is the ionising effect?
When a low pH environment provides H+ to drug (acidic drug goes from ion to molecule or basic drug goes from molecule to +ion)
24.
What environment is conducive to absorption of basic drugs?
Higher pH as less ionisation (less +ions)
25.
What environment is conducive to absoption of acidic drugs?
Low pH as there will be fewer ionised (+ion) acidic drugs
26.
Why is less ionisation conducive for diffusion?
Molecule is uncharged
27.
What pKa is required for acids to be nonisised?
High (acidic)
28.
What pKa is required for bases to be nonionised?
Low (basic)
29.
What are some proteins that transport drugs through facilitated diffusion?
SLC transporters
30.
"Which is faster, passive or facilitated diffusion?"
Facilitated unless saturated
31.
What can slow facilitated diffusion?
Competitor ligands
32.
What is an example of active transport?
"ATP binding cassette (ABC transporter), GFs, hormones, LDL, cytokines"
33.
What is an example of endocytosis?
Drugs with molecular weight <1000
34.
35.
Where does filtration occur?
"Blood capillaries, glomerular capillaries, in the liver"
