1.3 - Drug-Response Relationship Flashcards
Graded - Dose Response Relationship
- Plot
- Parameters
- Applications
Degree of Response vs. Dose or Log Dose
Plot
Parameters
- Efficacy
- Ceiling Dose
- Potency
- Slope
The maximum achievable repsonse
Efficacy (E)
The smallest dose that produces the maximum response
Ceiling Dose (Dc)
Dose required to achieve 50% of the maximum response (⬇️ value = ⬆️ potency)
Potency
Degree of change in response with a change in dose
Slope
– Drastic
– Start low, go slow
Steep
Can be adjusted
Not Steep
Applications
- Efficacy vs Potency
- Full Agonist, Partial Agonist & Inverse Agonist
- Competitive Antagonism
- Non-Competitive Antagonism
