True receptors elicit a response when?
When bound by an agonist
What happens when a drug binds to a nonregulatory molecules
There is no response
Covalent >Ionic> Hydrogen> hydrophobic> Van der Waals
Bond strength from strongest to weakest
Weak bonds have more selective or less selective binding?
More selective binding
Strong bonds will bind to receptor tightly or loosely?
What effect will this have?
Very tightly
Longer lasting effects
Why is drug shape important
Proper binding with receptor
Look at slide 11-13
Chirality
What are the ligand gated ion channels?
Nicotinic ACh
Glutamate
GABA
Where are nicotinic ACh receptors found?
Neuromuscular junction
Autonomic ganglia
CNS
What opens the nicotinic ACh receptors
Binding of 2 ACh molecules
