  • both transition state inhibitors
20
Q

A
  • insulinotropic agents
  • insulin-sensitising agents
21
Q

insulinotropic agents

A
  • sulfonylureas
  • act by closing membrane bound ATP sensitive potassium channels
22
Q

SAR of sulfonylureas

A
  • Sulfur atom double bonded to two oxygens
23
Q

insulin-sensitising agents

A
  • biguanides
  • thiazolidinediones
24
Q

SAR of biguanides

A
  • has a double bonded NH side chain
25
Q

common features in thiazolidinedione agonists

A
  • pentagon structure with NH and S and two double bonded oxygens
  • PPARy agonists
  • treat diabetes by lowering serum glucose without increasing insulin secretion
26
Q

PPARy

A
  • nuclear receptor
  • regulates fatty acid storage and glucose metabolism
27
Q

alpha-glucosidase inhibitors

A
  • numerous benzene rings attached to each other with lots of phenol groups
  • delays digestion of dietary carbohydrate in the form of starch and sucrose into monosaccharides
  • delaying absorption lowers blood glucose
28
Q

classes of antineoplastics (anti-tumor)

A
  • alkylating agents
  • antimetabolites (acting on enzymes
  • inhibitors of signaling pathways
  • antimitotics
  • topoisomerase II inhibitors
29
Q

central nervous system agents

A

opioids

30
Q

SAR of opioids

A
  • 3 benzene rings
  • alkene or 6-hydroy groups not essential
  • phenol group is important
  • tertiary amine is important
31
Q

point to consider with opioids

A

analgesic activity not only related to presence of important function groups, but to their relative position with respect to each other

32
Q

psychoactive drugs (hypnotics)

A
  • benzodiazepines
  • enhance effect of GABA at GABAa receptor, resulting in sedative, hypnotic, anxilytic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant properties
33
Q

SAR of benzodiazepines

A
  • benzene ring and 7-member diazepine ring
  • activity decreased with substitutions on nitrogen larger than methyl
  • activity decreased by substituents at benzene ring positions other that C7
  • activity increased by electron withdrawing groups on C7
34
Q

another psychoactive drug (hypnotics)

A
  • barbiturates
35
Q

SAR of barbiturates

A
  • benzene ring with nitrogen substitutions in meta-substitution
  • double bonded oxygens in ortho position
  • hypnotic activity increases with lipid solubility until number of C atoms at both C-5 substituents is between 6 and 10
  • unsaturated alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl derivatives more hypnotic than saturated analogues
  • polar substituents at position 5 decreases lipid solubility and potency
  • replacement of oxygen at C-2 by sulfur results in faster onset but shorter duration of activity

Q

40
Q

SAR of respiratory agents

A
  • N-alkyl substitution increases potency for beta-adrenergic receptor
  • phenol group important
  • alpha-methyl substitution increases potency for alpha-adrenergic receptor
  • salbutamol has a hydroxymethylene group on meta position
  • salmeterol is simply a longer molecule
41
Q

why does salmeterol have a long duration of action compared to salbutamol?

A

because it is more lipophilic, so it can cross the BBB more easily
