drug response - ANS-the intensity of the drug response is directly related to the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
concentration of the drug at the SITE OF ACTION
j j j j j j j j j
Goal is to: j j
- maximize the beneficial effects- concentration high enough for desired response
j j j j j j j j j j
- minimize harm- avoid to high a concentration
j j j j j j j
Three phases of drug action - ANS-1. pharmaceutic phase (dissolution)
j j j j j j j j j
2. pharmacokinetic phase (drug moving through the body)
j j j j j j j
3. pharmacodynamic phase (what the drug does to the body)
j j j j j j j j j
1. pharmaceutic phase - ANS-the drug goes into solution
j j j j j j j j
- Dissolution: the process by which a drug goes into solution and becomes available for
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
absorption
j
- must be dissolved before it can be absorbed
j j j j j j j j
- most absorption takes place in the small intestine
j j j j j j j j
2. pharmacokinetic phase: four processes - ANS-"what the BODY does to the drug"
j j j j j j j j j j j j
- absorption
j
- distribution
j
- metabolism/ biotransformation
j j
- exertion
j
pharmacokinetic phase: Absorption - ANS-(small intestine) the movement of a drug from its
j j j j j j j j j j j j
site of administration into the blood
j j j j j j
pharmacokinetic phase: Distribution - ANS-drug moves from blood --> cell membrane
j j j j j j j j j j
pharmacokinetic phase: Metabolism/biotransformation - ANS-lipid soluble metabolite
j j j j j j
(liver) --> a water soluble metabolite
j j j j j j
, pharmacokinetic phase: Excretion - ANS-water soluble metabolite (kidneys) j j j j j j j
liver - ANS-breaks down the drug
j j j j j
kidneys - ANS-excretes the drug j j j j
Pharmacokinetic phase movement process - ANS-orally --> stomach --> SI --> j j j j j j j j j j
bloodstream --> site of action --> liver (broken down) --> kidneys (excreted)
j j j j j j j j j j j j
IV --> bloodstream --> cite of action --> liver --> kidneys
j j j j j j j j j j
drugs crossing the cell membranes phospholipid cell layer - ANS--drugs must be LIPID
j j j j j j j j j j j j
SOLUBLE in order to pass through the membrane
j j j j j j j j
- WATER SOLUBLE drugs penetrate the cell membrane through channels and pores
j j j j j j j j j j j
Absorption j
1. direct penetration of the membranes
j j j j j
2. channels and pores
j j j
3. transport systems - ANS-the movement of a drug from its site of administration to the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
blood
j
How do drugs cross membranes?
j j j j
1. Direct penetration of the membranes - ANS-- use by MOST drugs
j j j j j j j j j j j
- most drugs to large to pass thru channels and pores
j j j j j j j j j j
- most drugs lack transport systems
j j j j j
- drugs must be lipid soluble to be able to penetrate cellular membranes = lipophilic drugs
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
2. channels and pores - ANS-only very small ions such as potassium and sodium can pass
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
through cell membranes
j j j
3. transport systems - ANS-- are carriers that can move drugs from one side of the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
membrane to the other
j j j j j
- are selective
j j
Movement of drugs across membranes - ANS--drugs must cross membranes (pass
j j j j j j j j j j
through cells) to enter the blood from their site of administration
j j j j j j j j j j j j
- drugs must then leave the blood (vascular systems) to get to their SITE OF ACTION
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
- drugs must then cross membranes again to be metabolized and excreted
j j j j j j j j j j j
pharmacokinetic phase: Absorption - ANS-process that occurs between the time a drug j j j j j j j j j j j
enters the body and the time it enters the bloodstream to be circulated
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
