Document Summary

Pharmacology: study of interaction between chemicals and living systems (drug action and fate in the body: pharmacodynamics: what the drug do to the body. Study of effects and mechanisms of therapeutic and toxic action of a drug: pharmacokinetics: what the body does to the drug. Absorption: movement of the drug from its site of administration into the bloodstream. Distribution - spreading of the drug throughout the body once absorbed. Metabolism - transformation of the drug to more hydrophilic metabolites (primarily in the liver) Excretion - removal of drug from the body (primarily in urine and feces) Be absorbed, distributed, reach its target site, and be eliminated. Must be soluble in bodily fluids and able to cross biological membranes. Drug efflux pumps: many cells have defense mechanisms to pump out foreign molecules (drugs, toxins, p-glycoprotein is a type of pump that can export a wide variety of structurally different drugs out of cells. Uses atp to export drug from cell.
