drug
any substance intended for human exposure capable of producing a change in a living system
Modern Definition of Pharmacology
the study of the interactions between drugs and living systems
Paracelsus
Grandfather of pharmacology
1540
concept- body is made up of chemicals, pathology is a result of chemical imbalance, use chemicals to treat
Felix Fontana
1790
chemicals have an active principle and act on a specific site
Friedrich Serturner
1806
isolates morphine- first active principle
C. Bernard
1850-1855
found specific site using curarine in frogs
Oswald Schmiedeberg
father of pharmacology
1870
magnitude and duration of a drugs action is dependent upon the dynamic equilibrium between the ability if the drug to reach its site of action and the ability of the body to remove it
John Abel
started ASPET and JPET
action
the result of combining of molecules of substance with molecules of living system
effect
the consequences at higher levels of integration of a drugs action
occupancy theory
Langley, Clark, and Gaddum
the magnitude of effect is directly proportional to the percent of total receptors occupied by that drug at that time
Rate theory
Paton
not only the quantity of receptors occupied but the rate at which they are being occupied that determines effect
Induced Fit theory
the amount of effect observed depends on the amount of conformational twisting of the receptor when it is occupied by the drug
agonist
a substance that combines with a receptor and produces an effect that we have designated in advance
antagonist
combines with a receptor and produces no effect itself, but blocks the effect of the agonist
affinity
how well is it attracted to receptor; a measure of action
intrinsic activity/efficacy
once bound how much effect is produced; a measure of effect
homergic
2 substances that produce same effect
heterergic
2 substances that produce different effects
addition
homergic, same MOA, effect seen is that expected by adding together individual effect of drugs
summation
same as addition but different or unknown MOA
potentiation
homergic, different MOA, effect is greater than expected by adding individual effects
synergism
one drug that does not produce an effect itself enhances the effect of a different drug, heterergic
competitive antagonism
drug 2 blocks effect of drug 1 by competing for receptor; can be overcome by increasing concentration of drug 1
non competitive antagonism
drug 2 permanently binds blocking drug 1 can only be overcome by getting more receptors
pharmacologic antagonism
at molecular level; competitive and non-competitive antagonism
physiologic antagonism
antagonism at level of effect
G-alpha S
beta-1 & beta-2
G-alpha I
muscarinic type 2
GABA type B
alpha-2
opioid
IP3 & DAG stimulators
alpha-1
muscarinic type 1
serotonin type 1
