the study of the interactions between a drug and organism
pharmacology
the study of how a drug affects the
organism
Pharmacodynamics
the study of how the organism affects the
drug
Pharmacokinetics
3 Receptor subtypes
- Enzymes
- Ion Channels
- Membrane receptors
How do drugs bind to their receptors? (4)
- Electrostatic interactions (intermolecular forces)
- Hydrophobic interactions
- Covalent bonds
- Stereospecific interactions (enantiomers)
What is drug affinity?
how well the drug binds to the receptor
What is drug efficacy?
how well the drug produces its desired effect
What is drug potency?
comparison of the relative affinity of competing drugs
Bioavailability
how much of the administered drug is actually
absorbed. (typically used for oral administration)
8 Factors affecting bioavailability include:
*Molecular weight of the drug
* Drug formulation
* Drug stability (especially pH sensitivity)
* First pass metabolism (typically in the liver)
* Blood flow
* Gastric emptying (food slows this process)
* Intestinal motility
* Drug interactions
Distribution is affected by (6)
*Blood
* Total body water
* Extracellular fluids
* Lymphatic fluids
* Cerebrospinal fluids
* Protein-binding
Main routes for excretion (4)
- Kidneys (majority of drugs)
- Feces (unabsorbed drug or metabolites from bile)
- Lungs (inhaled anesthetic drugs)
- Sweat (not very common)
What does Lipinski Rule of 5 predict?
Used as a tool to measure a NCE’s potential bioavailability
What is the max number of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors for Lipinski Rule of 5?
10
What are typical hydrogen bond donors?
Thiols*, Amines and alcohols
What are typical hydrogen bond acceptors?
N,O
What is the max molecular weight for Lipinski Rule of 5?
< 500 g/mol
What is the calculated partition coefficient? What should it be for Lipinski Rule?
ratio solubility of water vs oil
< 5
How many rules can be violated to predict a NCE is non-orally available?
more than one
Functional groups that have been linked to increased toxicity
Thiopenes
Aromatic anilines
Nitroaromatics
Aliphatic halides
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
T/F: Low MW drugs with high cLogP can easily cross membranes
False; low cLogP
What is cLogP?
calculated partition coefficient
T/F: Potential drug compounds must have either hydrophilic and lipophilic groups
False; must have a mixture
Drug efficacy is directly related to the _______ of the drug at the site of action
concentration
