Distribution of drug in the human body depends on its
- Dissociation constant
- Type of dosage form in which it dispensed
- Route of drug administration
- All of these
Correct Answer

A. All of these

Explanation

The distribution of a drug in the human body depends on various factors, including its dissociation constant, the type of dosage form in which it is dispensed, and the route of drug administration. The dissociation constant determines the extent to which the drug will dissociate into its active form in the body. The type of dosage form affects the rate and extent of drug release, absorption, and distribution. The route of drug administration determines how the drug enters the body and reaches its target site. Therefore, all of these factors play a role in the distribution of a drug in the human body.

Uitraviolet-Visible spectroscopy is a type of:
- Emission spectroscopy
- Absorption spectroscopy
- Vibrational spectroscopy
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. Absorption spectroscopy

Explanation

UV-Visible spectroscopy is a type of absorption spectroscopy. In this technique, the sample absorbs UV or visible light, causing electronic transitions in the molecules. The absorbed light energy is then used to determine the concentration of the sample or to identify the presence of certain compounds. Emission spectroscopy, on the other hand, involves the emission of light by excited atoms or molecules, while vibrational spectroscopy focuses on the study of molecular vibrations. Therefore, the correct answer is absorption spectroscopy.

Which of the following group is electron-withdrawing & meta director?
- -CN
- -CF3
- -SO3H
- All of the above
Correct Answer

A. All of the above

Explanation

All of the given groups, CN, CF3, and SO3H, are electron-withdrawing and meta directors. Electron-withdrawing groups have a strong ability to withdraw electron density from the benzene ring, making it more electron deficient. This results in a decrease in the electron density at the ortho and para positions and an increase in the electron density at the meta position. Therefore, these groups are considered meta directors as they direct incoming groups to the meta position in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.

Correct Answer

A. Nuclear receptors

Explanation

Corticosteroids act on nuclear receptors. Nuclear receptors are a type of receptor found inside the cell, specifically in the cell nucleus. When corticosteroids bind to these receptors, they can regulate gene expression and affect various cellular processes. This interaction with nuclear receptors allows corticosteroids to exert their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.

Danckwert's model proposed for the dissolution of the solid dosage form in a physiological fluid is based on which theory?
- Film theory
- Surface Renewal Theory
- Double barrier
- Limited solvation theory
Correct Answer

A. Surface Renewal Theory

Explanation

Danckwert's model proposed for the dissolution of the solid dosage form in a physiological fluid is based on the Surface Renewal Theory. This theory suggests that the rate of dissolution is determined by the renewal of the liquid at the solid-liquid interface. According to this theory, the dissolution process occurs when fresh solvent molecules come into contact with the solid surface, leading to the dissolution of the solid. The Surface Renewal Theory is widely used in pharmaceutical research to understand and predict the dissolution behavior of solid dosage forms in physiological fluids.

"Frontal headache" is a side effect of which NSAID?
- Aspirin
- Indomethacin
- Analgin
- Phenylbutazone
Correct Answer

A. Indomethacin

Explanation

Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is known to cause frontal headaches as a side effect. This medication works by reducing inflammation and pain in the body, but it can also lead to headaches as a result of its effects on blood vessels in the brain. Therefore, if someone experiences a frontal headache while taking an NSAID, such as Indomethacin, it could be attributed to this specific medication.

‎106 mg of compound A (dissolved in 100 ml ethanol) in a 1 cm long cell has a lambda max 295 nm and absorbance is 0.28. then the value of A^1%_{1 cm} is...?
- 2.64
- 264
- 190
- 640
Correct Answer

A. 2.64

Explanation

The value of A1%1 cm is a measure of the absorbance of a 1% solution of the compound in a 1 cm long cell. In this case, the absorbance of the compound A at its lambda max of 295 nm is given as 0.28. Therefore, the value of A1%1 cm can be calculated by multiplying the absorbance by 100, since 1% is equivalent to 100 times the concentration. Thus, A1%1 cm = 0.28 * 100 = 28. Dividing this value by 10, since the cell length is 1 cm, gives us the final answer of 2.64.

Which one of the following adverse effects of the drugs is very common among persons having similar genetic make-up?
- Intolerance
- Photosensitivity
- Idiosyncrasy
- Mutagenicity
Correct Answer

A. Idiosyncrasy

Explanation

Idiosyncrasy is the correct answer because it refers to an adverse reaction to a drug that is unique to an individual due to their genetic make-up. It is very common among persons who have similar genetic make-up, as they may share the same genetic variations that make them susceptible to the adverse reaction. Intolerance, photosensitivity, and mutagenicity are not specifically related to genetic make-up and may have other causes.

pH of 0.02 normal Hydrochloric acid will be
- Less than 1
- Between 1-2
- Between 2-3
- Greater than 3
Correct Answer

A. Between 1-2

Explanation

A pH value indicates the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. A pH less than 7 is considered acidic. Since hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, it completely ionizes in water to form hydrogen ions (H+). A normal solution is one that contains 1 equivalent weight of a solute per liter of solution. Therefore, a 0.02 normal hydrochloric acid solution will have a high concentration of hydrogen ions, resulting in a pH value between 1-2, indicating a strong acidity.

For Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) if the pH of the environment is less than its pKa, according to HENDERSON-HESSELBACH EQUATION
- Cojugate base (anion)CH3COO- will predominate
- Acidic (neutral) form CH3COOH will predominate
- Both species will be in equal proportioons
- Can't be infferred from given information
Correct Answer

A. Cojugate base (anion)CH3COO- will predominate

Explanation

According to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, if the pH of the environment is less than the pKa of acetic acid (CH3COOH), the conjugate base (anion) CH3COO- will predominate. This is because at a lower pH, there is an excess of H+ ions in the environment, which will cause the acetic acid to donate a proton and form the conjugate base. Therefore, the concentration of the conjugate base will be higher compared to the acidic (neutral) form of acetic acid.

P-nitroanoline has pKb of 13.0... p-methoxyaniline has pKb of 8.7.... Aniline has pKb of 9.38...... Which of the following statement is true with respect to Basicity?
- P-nitroanoline is less basic due electron release & p-methoxyaniline is more basic due to electron withdrawal
- P-nitroanoline is less basic due electron withdrawal & p-methoxyaniline is more basic due to electron release
- P-nitroanoline is more basic due electron withdrawal & p-methoxyaniline is less basic due to electron release
- Electron release & withdrawal does not affect basicity
Correct Answer

A. P-nitroanoline is less basic due electron withdrawal & p-methoxyaniline is more basic due to electron release

Explanation

The basicity of a compound is determined by its ability to donate a lone pair of electrons. Electron release from a substituent increases the electron density on the nitrogen atom, making it more basic. In the case of p-nitroaniline, the nitro group withdraws electron density from the nitrogen atom, reducing its basicity. On the other hand, p-methoxyaniline has a methoxy group that donates electron density to the nitrogen atom, increasing its basicity. Therefore, p-nitroaniline is less basic due to electron withdrawal, and p-methoxyaniline is more basic due to electron release.

Which of the following drug reduces the positive free water clearance, but does not affect the negative free water clearance?
- Furosemide
- Hydrochlorthiazide
- Spironolactone
- Acetazolamide
Correct Answer

A. Hydrochlorthiazide

Explanation

Hydrochlorthiazide is the correct answer because it is a diuretic that reduces positive free water clearance. It works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidneys, leading to increased excretion of water and electrolytes. Unlike Furosemide, Spironolactone, and Acetazolamide, Hydrochlorthiazide does not affect the negative free water clearance, which means it does not cause excessive loss of free water without electrolytes.
