Questions and Answers
- 1.
In a _______________, all drug administration occurs directly into the central compartment and distribution of drug is instantaneous throughout the volume.
- A.
One compartment model
- B.
Multiple compartment model
Correct Answer
A. One compartment modelExplanation
In a one compartment model, all drug administration occurs directly into the central compartment and distribution of the drug is instantaneous throughout the volume. This means that there is only one compartment or space in the body where the drug is distributed, and it is assumed that the drug is evenly distributed throughout this compartment. This simplifies the pharmacokinetic analysis and calculations, as there is no need to account for multiple compartments or complex distribution processes.Rate this question:

Clearance from this compartment in a one compartment model is a _____-order process: the amount of drug eliminated per unit of time depends on the amount (concentration) of drug in the body compartment.
- A.
Second
- B.
First
- C.
Zero
Correct Answer
B. FirstExplanation
In a one compartment model, the clearance from the compartment is a first-order process. This means that the rate at which the drug is eliminated from the body depends on the concentration of the drug in the compartment. As the concentration decreases, the elimination rate also decreases. This is characteristic of a first-order process, where the elimination rate is proportional to the drug concentration.Rate this question:

After drugs are distributed, they are: 1.Redistributed (away from or towards)the tissues 2.Eliminated through Metabolism(aka biotransformation) and elimination
- A.
Towards;metabolism, elimination
- B.
Away from;elimination, metabolism
- C.
Away from ;metabolism, elimination
- D.
Away from;metabolism, absorption
Correct Answer
C. Away from ;metabolism, eliminationExplanation
After drugs are distributed, they are eliminated through metabolism and elimination. This means that the drugs undergo biotransformation in the body and are then eliminated from the body. They are not redistributed back to the tissues or absorbed further into the body. Instead, they are broken down and eliminated through processes such as urine or feces.Rate this question:

A drug that makes an inactive drug active is called a _______
- A.
Activator
- B.
Prodrome
- C.
Prodrug
- D.
Proformer
Correct Answer
C. ProdrugExplanation
A drug that makes an inactive drug active is called a prodrug. Prodrugs are biologically inactive compounds that are converted into an active form within the body. This conversion can occur through various mechanisms such as enzymatic reactions or chemical transformations. The purpose of using prodrugs is to enhance the drug's therapeutic effects, improve its stability, or reduce its side effects. By converting an inactive drug into an active form, prodrugs can increase the drug's bioavailability and improve its pharmacokinetic properties.Rate this question:

- D.
Make a drug toxic
Correct Answer
B. Make a toxic drug non-toxicExplanation
Metabolism is the process by which the body breaks down substances, such as drugs, and transforms them into different forms. One of the effects of metabolism is the conversion of inactive drugs into active forms, which can then exert their intended effects in the body. Another effect is the detoxification of toxic drugs, which involves converting them into non-toxic forms that can be easily eliminated from the body. However, the given answer states that metabolism does not make a toxic drug non-toxic, which contradicts the known effects of metabolism. Therefore, the given answer is incorrect.Rate this question:

What type of drug metabolism is important for activation or break down of a drug, and will help determine the dosage you'll give the patient?
- A.
Second-pass metabolism
- B.
First-pass metabolism
- C.
Zero-order metabolism
- D.
First-order metabolism
Correct Answer
B. First-pass metabolismExplanation
First-pass metabolism is the type of drug metabolism that is important for the activation or breakdown of a drug. It occurs when a drug is metabolized in the liver before it enters the systemic circulation. This process can greatly affect the bioavailability and effectiveness of a drug, as well as determine the dosage that should be given to a patient. Therefore, understanding first-pass metabolism is crucial in determining the appropriate dosage for a patient.Rate this question:

Following Phase I metabolism, a drug is MOST often:
- A.
Activated
- B.
Inactivated
- C.
Unchanged
- D.
Changed
Correct Answer
B. InactivatedExplanation
After Phase I metabolism, a drug is most often inactivated. Phase I metabolism involves oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis reactions, which introduce or expose functional groups on the drug molecule. These reactions typically increase the polarity of the drug, making it more water-soluble and easier to eliminate from the body. Inactivation of the drug occurs when these reactions render the drug less pharmacologically active or completely inactive. Therefore, it is common for drugs to undergo inactivation during Phase I metabolism.Rate this question:
-
- 10.
A conjugated drug is usually:
- A.
Inactive
- B.
Active
Correct Answer
A. InactiveExplanation
A conjugated drug is usually inactive. Conjugation refers to the process of attaching a molecule or group to a drug molecule, which can alter its properties. In the case of conjugated drugs, the attached molecule or group typically reduces the drug's activity or renders it inactive altogether. This modification is often done to improve the drug's stability, increase its solubility, or enhance its targeting to specific cells or tissues. Therefore, a conjugated drug is generally not active on its own.Rate this question:

What event (according to her notes) will NOT happen to a drug after Phase I metabolism?
- A.
Oxidation
- B.
Hydrolysis
- C.
Reduction
- D.
Protonation
Correct Answer
D. ProtonationExplanation
After Phase I metabolism, a drug undergoes various chemical reactions that modify its structure. Oxidation, hydrolysis, and reduction are common events that can occur during Phase I metabolism. However, protonation is not a typical event in Phase I metabolism. Protonation refers to the addition of a proton to a molecule, which typically occurs during Phase II metabolism. Therefore, according to the notes, protonation is the event that will NOT happen to a drug after Phase I metabolism.Rate this question:

-
- 13.
True or false: Phase I and Phase II drug metabolism both make hydrophobic drugs more polar to promote their elimination.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Phase I and Phase II drug metabolism both involve processes that aim to make hydrophobic drugs more polar. Phase I reactions, such as oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis, introduce or expose functional groups that increase the polarity of the drug. Phase II reactions, such as glucuronidation, sulfation, and methylation, further increase the polarity by conjugating the drug with highly polar molecules. These modifications enhance the solubility of the drug, facilitating its elimination from the body through urine or bile. Therefore, both Phase I and Phase II drug metabolism contribute to the conversion of hydrophobic drugs into more polar forms for efficient elimination.Rate this question:
-
- 14.
Phase I reactions generally add a___________ on the drug to slightly increase water solubility.
- A.
Hydroxyl group
- B.
Amine group
- C.
Large polar group
Correct Answer
A. Hydroxyl groupExplanation
Phase I reactions generally add a hydroxyl group on the drug to slightly increase water solubility. This is because the addition of a hydroxyl group (-OH) increases the polarity of the molecule, making it more soluble in water. This increased solubility allows the drug to be more easily transported and eliminated from the body. Additionally, the hydroxyl group can also serve as a site for further metabolism or conjugation reactions in Phase II metabolism.Rate this question:
-
- 15.
Phase II reactions generally add ___________ to the hydroxyl group on the drug to greatly increase water solubility.
- A.
A large polar group
- B.
Another hydroxyl group
- C.
An amine group
- D.
A fat soluble group
Correct Answer
A. A large polar groupExplanation
Phase II reactions generally add a large polar group to the hydroxyl group on the drug to greatly increase water solubility. This is because adding a large polar group, such as a sulfate or glucuronide, increases the polarity of the drug molecule, making it more soluble in water. Increased water solubility is important for the elimination of drugs from the body, as they can be easily excreted through urine or bile. Adding another hydroxyl group, an amine group, or a fat soluble group would not have the same effect on water solubility.Rate this question:

The consequence of Phase I reaction is a _______ in the drug's activity.
- A.
Increase
- B.
Inactivation
- C.
Decrease
- D.
Change
Correct Answer
D. ChangeExplanation
The consequence of Phase I reaction is a change in the drug's activity. Phase I reactions involve the modification of the drug's structure, such as oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis. These modifications can alter the drug's pharmacological properties, including its potency, efficacy, and toxicity. Therefore, the drug's activity is likely to be different after undergoing Phase I metabolism.Rate this question:

The consequence of Phase II reaction is _______ in the drug's elimination.
- A.
A decrease
- B.
An increase
- C.
A change
- D.
No effect
Correct Answer
B. An increaseExplanation
During Phase II reactions, drugs are metabolized by enzymes in the liver, which often leads to the addition of certain molecules, such as glucuronic acid or sulfate. This process increases the drug's polarity and makes it more water-soluble, facilitating its elimination from the body. Therefore, the consequence of Phase II reaction is an increase in the drug's elimination.Rate this question:

Inducers of CYPs cause ___________in drug metabolism.
- A.
An increase
- B.
A decrease
- C.
No effect
Correct Answer
A. An increaseExplanation
Inducers of CYPs (cytochrome P450 enzymes) increase the activity of these enzymes, leading to an increase in drug metabolism. This means that drugs are broken down more quickly in the body, resulting in a decrease in their effectiveness and potentially requiring higher doses for the desired therapeutic effect. Inducers can include certain medications, herbal supplements, and environmental factors, and their impact on drug metabolism should be considered when prescribing or adjusting medication regimens.Rate this question:

- A.
First order kinetics
- B.
Zero order kinetics
- C.
Second order kinetics
- D.
I still have to write my PD write up! >:0
Correct Answer
A. First order kineticsExplanation
The rate of drug metabolism and elimination is directly proportional to the concentration of free drug, known as first order kinetics. This means that as the concentration of free drug increases, the rate of metabolism and elimination also increases. In first order kinetics, the rate of elimination is dependent on the concentration of the drug, leading to an exponential decrease in drug concentration over time. This type of kinetics is commonly observed for drugs that are metabolized by enzymes in the body.Rate this question:

- A.
Aspirin
- B.
Phenytoin
- C.
Ethanol
- D.
Timbits!
- E.
All of the above, minus Timbits!
Correct Answer
E. All of the above, minus Timbits!Explanation
The correct answer is "All of the above, minus Timbits!" because aspirin, phenytoin, and ethanol are all examples of drugs that exhibit zero order kinetics. Zero order kinetics means that the rate of drug elimination remains constant regardless of the drug concentration in the body. This is in contrast to first order kinetics, where the rate of elimination is proportional to the drug concentration. Timbits is not a drug and therefore not relevant to the question.Rate this question:
