Frage 4
Frage
What is an advantage of the parenteral route of administration?
Frage 5
Frage
What is an advantage of percutaneous administration of drugs?
Frage 6
Frage
Repeated doses of general anaesthetic such as thiopental can cause a fatal dose because of accumulation, or "tissue binding" in adipose tissue.
Frage 7
Frage
1st pass metabolism describes what phenomenon?
Antworten
-
When the concentration of a drug available to the systemic circulation (it's bioavailability) is significantly reduced because it is metabolised by the liver before it reaches the systemic circulation.
-
When the concentration of a drug available to the systemic circulation (it's bioavailability) is significantly increased because it is metabolised by the liver before it reaches the systemic circulation.
Frage 8
Frage
1st pass metabolism can be useful for activating pre-cursor drugs such as L-dopa into dopamine.

Antworten
-
Drug absorption = Drug elimination
-
Drug absorption > Drug elimination
-
Drug absorption < Drug elimination
Frage 10

What is the plasma half life of a drug?
Frage 11
Frage
What is meant by the hydrophobic effect?
Antworten
-
Amino acids with non-polar (hydrophobic) groups arrange themselves on the inside of a protein and vice versa.
-

Frage 12
Frage
Haemoglobin in sickle cell is dysfunctional as a result of an incorrect hydrophobic effect.

Frage 18
Frage
With a pKa value of 9.7, and the equation NH3+ -> NH2 + H+ , at pH 9 what species will dominate?
Frage 19
Frage
What graph correctly depicts the dose response curve?
Frage 20
Frage
Response is proportional to occupancy
Frage 21
Frage
The maximum response cannot be attained when a competitive reversible antagonist is present.
Frage 22
Frage
In the presence of a competitive reversible antagonist, how is the dose response curve shifted?
Frage 23
Frage
An irreversible antagonist means that the maximum response can never be reached.
Frage 24
Frage
How is the dose response curve shifted in the presence of an irreversible antagonist?
Frage 25
Frage
Irreversible antagonists cause a decrease in the maximal response when spare receptors are not present.
Frage 26
Frage
Prolonged exposure to a drug reduces the bodies response to it.
Frage 27
Frage
Without spare receptors, non-competitive antagonists can reduce the maximal response (Emax).
Frage 28
Frage
When a non-competitive antagonist is used in the presence of spare receptors, the dose response curve shifts left.
Frage 29
Frage
Non-competitive antagonists do not compete for the agonist binding site.
Frage 30
Frage
Irreversible antagonists reduce the number of available receptors.
Frage 31
Frage
The dose response curve of an irreversible agonist is shifted down because the maximal response is decreased.
Frage 32
Frage
Select common ways that cells regulate their functions via receptors
Frage 33
Frage
An integral tyrosine kinase can be activated and then phosphorylates a target molecule such as an enzyme.
Frage 34
Frage
Lipophobic molecules can cross the PM and NM and bind to steroid receptors e.g. to boost transcription.
Frage 35
Frage
G-protein coupled receptors have ATPase activity that turns their activity off.
Frage 36
Frage
Cytokine receptors activate JAK that can phosphorylate targets and lead to signal pathways.
