Expert Solution & Answer

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The inflammation of singuliar blocks by blocking leukotriene’s receptors.

Introduction:

Type 1 hypersensitivity can cause immune response to the exposure of antigens. When IgE antibodies bind to the receptors on mast cells, then they will bind to the antigen. It causes degranulation of mast cells and the release of granules like histamine and leukotrienes. It leads to inflammation and breathing difficulties. This is blocked by giving singuliar drug.

Answer to Problem 1R

Correct answer:

A mast cell is given in this figure. An antihistamine is added to the mast cell; it blocks the inflammation.

Leukotrienes attach to the receptors of mast cells; they cause inflammation. When a leukotriene receptor is blocked by singuliar, it stops inflammation. Mast cells play a role in autoimmune disorders. Singuliar (Montelukost) relieve the symptoms of hay fever, asthma, inflammation, and redness in skin. Singuliar mimics as leukotriene receptors.

Conclusion

Anaphylactic hypersensitivity mast cell releases histamine, leukotriene, and other mediators when it binds to the antigen and IgE antibody. When leukotriene receptors are blocked by singuliar, an allergic response does not occur.

1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data  (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data  (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data  (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip  (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip    MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate.

2. Drug quantification from plasma is commonly performed by using techniques such as HPLC or LC/MS. However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0  Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present.  Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…
