DSA 1 Flashcards
What is pharmacodynamics?
How the drug affects the body MOA, type of receptor it binds to, and dose-response curves
What is pharmacokinetics
How the body affects the drug; ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination)
Receptor + drug => activates receptor => initiates biochemical effects => cause drug effects Receptors have a _______ role.
regulatory
Inert binding site is?
where a drug binds, however it does not change fx.
Ligand is a?
hormone or a drug that binds to a receptor.
If a drug-receptor bind covalently, the interaction is ______.
Irreversible
If a drug-receptor binds non-covalently, the interaction is ________.
Reversible
If a drug-receptor bind covalently, removal of the drug or re-activation of the receptor requires what?
REmake a receptor or remove the drug using an enzyme
Most drugs bind to receptors ______
NON-covalently
List non-covalent interactions from strongest => weakest.
- Ionic: [position ion] + [negative ion] - Hydrogen bonds: - Hydrophobic interactions: hydrophobic regions of drug + receptor interact.
What 3 factors describe how well a drug and receptor interact?
- Affinity 2. Selectivity 3. Intrinsic activity
What is affinity?
how well a drug binds to a receptor
High affinity: _____ interaction and ____ drug is needed to create a response.
good LESS
Low affinity: ____ interaction and ___ drug is needed to make a response.
BAD MORE
What is KD?
KD (Equilibrium dissociation constant) is the concentration of the drug where 50% of the receptors are occupied.
What is the relationship between affinity and KD?
High affinity = lower KD Lower affinity= higher KD because we need more the drug to occupy 50% of the receptors
Selectivity of a drug is? What determines a drugs selectivity
Selectivity is the degree to which a drug acts on a given site relative to other site (within a range) It is determined by the drugs affinity at different binding sites.
What is a intrinsic activity?
The ability for the drug to produce a physiological response when it binds to a receptor
Which have intrinsic activity; agonist or ANT?
Agonists: not ANT
What happens when a AGO binds to receptor
=> stabilizes it in active confirmation => cause a physiological response
ANT do not have physiological response. What do they do then?
They do not change the function but they bind => if ago is present, prevent the activation.
what do ANT do when an AGO is NOT present?
no effect
Full AGO: _____ activate receptors, produce a ______ effect when bound to all receptors and have _____ intrinsic activity.
Fully; max; max
Partial AGO ______ activate receptors, produce a ______ effect when bound to all receptors and intrinsic efficacy _________.
partially sub-max IA will depend on the drug but it is always sub-max
A partial AGO will have _____ affinity for both Ri and Ra forms
intermediate
What do inverse AGO do?
Has the opposite effect of a full/partial AGO; decrease receptor signaling, decrease response, its IA will inhibit the function of the receptor
ANT has _____ affinity for both Ri (inactive receptor that produces no effect) and Ra (active receptor that can activate downstream mechanisms that produces a small observable effect, even in the absence of ligands) and have ____ level of constitutive activity.
equal; same
___________ is have action at the same reeptor as endogenous ligands or AGO drugs ______ occurs when a chemical ANT prevents drug from binding
Pharmacologic ANT Chemical ANT
Inverse AGO have a higher affinity for the ____ form
Ri
What are the types of pharmacologic ANT?
- Competitive ANT 2. Non-competitive ANT; includes both irreversible ANT and allosteric ANT.
_________ irreversibly (covalently) and block where AGO bind.
Irreversible ANT
________ bind to ANOTHER site than the AGO site to prevent or reduce the AGO from binding or activation of the receptor.
Allosteric ANT
Competitive ANT: higher concentrations of the AGO are required to displace the ANT and cause an effect (shifts to the ____)
right
EC50 is what?
concentration of a drug that gives HALF of the max response.
