drug correct answers substance intended for use in the Dx, cure, mitigation, Tx, or prevention of
disease; substance other than food intended to affect the structure and function of the body
hydrophilic (lipophobic) correct answers most drugs solubility
non-ionized
lipid soluble correct answers 2 qualities of protonated acid
ionized
water soluble correct answers 2 qualities of protonated base
ionized
water soluble correct answers 2 qualities of non-protonated acid
non-ionized
lipid soluble correct answers 2 qualities of non-protonated base
acid correct answers molecule that donates H+ ion when put into solution
rapidly dissociates (favored to right) correct answers reaction of very strong acid in solution
base correct answers combines w/ H+ when put into solution
accepts almost all of H+ ion (favored to right) correct answers reaction of strong base in a
solution
water soluble correct answers solubility of acid drug predominantly charged/ionized
fat soluble correct answers solubility of base drug predominantly charged/ionized
polar correct answers synonymous w/ charged and water soluble
soluble correct answers able to dissolve/pass through solvent (either H2O or lipid bilayer)
whether it is an acid or base
pH of solution correct answers 2 factors that determine whether drug is ionized or non-ionized
Law of Mass Action correct answers rate of reaction is proportional to concentration of reactants
ionized, water soluble correct answers acid drug in high pH solution
non-ionized, lipid soluble correct answers base drug in low pH solution
, pKa correct answers pH where 50% of drug is ionized (water soluble) and 50% is non-ionized
(lipid soluble); pH drug sees as "neutral" and will give up and accept H+ at equal rate
buffer correct answers compound that mitigates changes in pH when added as a weak acid or
base to solution
pKa
pH correct answers 2 factors needed to predict form of drug that predominates
left correct answers direction of reaction when pH < pKa
ionized correct answers water soluble (unable to cross plasma membrane)
non-ionized correct answers lipid soluble (able to cross plasma membrane)
Acidic environment drives reaction to the Left and makes Acid Non-ionized (base ionized)

BRAIN correct answers mnemonic to use for acid drug w/ pKa 4 and pH 8
phenytoin (Dilantin) correct answers example of weak acid drug absorbed in GIT (pKa > pH)
ion trapping correct answers occurs when a drug molecule changes from ionized to nonionized
form as it moves from one body compartment to another and is unable to diffuse back
aspirin correct answers drug example of ion trapping in the plasma
upper GIT (acidic) correct answers where acidic drugs tend to be absorbed
antacids or H2 antagonists correct answers drug classes that will slow absorption of acidic drugs
