drug design 2 Flashcards
what is lead optimisation
aims to mamimize the interaction of a drug with its rarget binding site in order to improve activity, electivity and to minimize side affects
what does structure based drug design
uses X-ray crystallogrpahy and computer based molecularmodelling to study its binding
how can drug optimaistion be achieved
- variation of sbsituents
-exentision of structure by isosceles and biosteres - simplification of the structure
what si the pharmacetical phase
disintergration and dissolution, determiens amount of drug avalible for absorption
what is the pharamkinetic phase
ADME, deternmines amount of drug avalaible for action
What is the pharamcodynamic phase
interactions with the tissue, dtermines indcution of therpuetic effect, what the drug does to the body
what are examples of enteral routes of administartion
- oral
-retal
-vaginal
what is parental routes of admistration
- intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous
if it is oral what do you want the drug to be
inactive so its activited, if its active liver would inactivate
why should you only take one therapy at a time sometimes
the p450 are all occupied
what are dosage form
- lquid formualtuoin
- semisolid formulations
- solid formulations
what is the objective of pharmakinics
optimisation of avalibilty
what factors influecne how drug reaches its target
- hydrophilic/ hydrophobic character (want slighlty more hydrophobic)
- ionisatiobn
- size
chemical and metabolic properties
what are the partition steps drugs will go through
- elave aqueous extracellualr fluid
- passing through lipid membrane
- entering aqueous enviroments before reaching receptor
which enzyme normally breaks down drugs
P450
what are the problems relating to metabolsim
- metabolites have different properties to og drug
- loss of activity
- more toxic
- activity of enzyme varies
what is a pharmacophore
minium structural requirements to have biological activity
what is the role of structure-activity relationship in drug design
changing things like functional groups
what is a drug receprtor
Specialised target macromolecule presnet on the cell surface or intracellularly that binds and mediates is pharmacological action
what are the drug targets
- enzymes
- receptors
- carrier proteins
-structural prtoeins - nucleic acid
- lipids
- carbohydrates
what are agnosists
mimic the chemical messsenger
