chapter2 pharmacodynamics Flashcards
Receptor function
- Determinants quanti relation2. Regulatory proteins3. Therapeutic and toxic effects
Emax
Maximal response produced by a drug
Ec50
50% maximal effect
Bmax
Total concentration receptor site. (ie. Sites bound to the drug infinitely high conc of free drug)
Kd
(Equilibrium dissociation constant)Conc free drug at which half maximal binding.⬇️ Kd : binding affinity is high⬆️ Kd : binding affinity is low
Coupling
Transduction process that links drug occupancy of receptors and pharmacologic respnse
Spare receptors
Possible to elicit MAXIMAL biological response at conc of agonist that doesnt result in occupancy of full complement of available receptorsEc50< Kd
Example spare receptors
Irreversible antagonist
90% quasi-irreversible antagonist
B- adrenoceptors
Types of antagonist
- Chemical 2. Functional3. Competitive A. Eq B. Nonequilibrium4. Noncompetitive
Antagonist property
+ affinity- efficacy
Other type of antagonism
PhysiologicalChemicalPharmacokinetic
Pharmacokinetic antagonist
One drug accelerates/ eliminates other drug
2 properties agonist
AffinityEfficacy
Comparative term for distinguishing which agonist has a higher affinity for given receptor
Potency
Response to low doses op a drug usually ⬆️ in direct proportion to dose
Dose-resp rel
Interaction of two agonist that act independently but cause opposite effects
FUNCTIONAL ANTAGONISM
Example func anatagonist
ACTHEPINEPHRINE
Eq competitive
Band is loose
