  1. 1Protein binding is the [blank_start]reversible[blank_end] interaction of a drug with proteins in the [blank_start]plasma[blank_end]. Almost all drugs are bound to plasma [blank_start]proteins[blank_end] to some extent. Only the [blank_start]unbound[blank_end] drug is available to interact with receptors or can be [blank_start]eliminated[blank_end]. The rates of drug binding are very [blank_start]rapid[blank_end] (milliseconds).
    1. Areversible
    2. Bplasma
    3. Cproteins
    4. Dunbound
    5. Eeliminated
    6. Frapid
  2. 2Which of these is not a drug binding protein?
    1. AAlbumin
    2. BSpecific protein types (e.g. thyroxine binding globulin etc)
    3. CLipoproteins
    4. D1-acid-glycoprotein
    5. EErythrocytes
  3. 3Choose the incorrect statement about albumin.
    1. AGenerally basic drugs bind more readily to albumin.
    2. BThere are two main binding sites on albumin (sites I and II)
    3. CType I substrates include warfarin, sulphonamides, NSAIDs, valproate
    4. DType II substrates include penicillins and benzodiazepines
    5. EEach albumin molecule has at least 6 distinct binding sites for drugs and endogenous compounds
  4. 4Binding to α1-acid-glycoprotein is quantitatively less important, the concentrations are typically [blank_start]1/100th[blank_end] that of albumin. This is a [blank_start]reactive[blank_end] protein that may increase several fold in the presence of acute [blank_start]inflammatory[blank_end] conditions. It mostly binds [blank_start]basic[blank_end] drugs (e.g. lignocaine).
    1. A1/100th
    2. Breactive
    3. Cinflammatory
    4. Dbasic
    5. E1/10th
    6. Facidic
  5. 5Irreversible binding is less common and results in inactivation of the drug, e.g. cisplatin.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  6. 6For a few drugs the clinically used doses may be sufficiently large to [blank_start]saturate[blank_end] the protein binding sites for the drug, e.g [blank_start]valproate[blank_end], some [blank_start]beta-lactam[blank_end] antibiotics, and corticosteroids. Therefore the [blank_start]free[blank_end] (unbound) concentration for these drug may be much [blank_start]greater[blank_end] than expected.
    1. Asaturate
    2. Bvalproate
    3. Cbeta-lactam
    4. Dfree
    5. Egreater
  7. 7The free fraction is the [blank_start]free concentration[blank_end] of a drug divided by the [blank_start]total concentration[blank_end] of the drug(free and protein bound combined). Altered protein binding (which may be from [blank_start]decreased[blank_end] number of binding sites; e.g. due to aging, or decreased apparent [blank_start]binding affinity[blank_end]) is clinically irrelevant in [blank_start]most[blank_end] cases. This is because reduced protein binding causes:
    - [blank_start]increased[blank_end] free fraction
    - [blank_start]unchanged[blank_end] free concentration
    - [blank_start]reduced[blank_end] total concentration
    And the free concentration is the value of importance.


    1. Afree concentration
    2. Btotal concentration
    3. Cdecreased
    4. Dbinding affinity
    5. Emost
    6. Fincreased
    7. Gunchanged
    8. Hreduced
