Exam 1 - 1st half Flashcards
Pharmacokinetics
what the body does to the drug
absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion
Pharmacodynamics
what the drug does to the body
Properties of drugs
drug size
shape (stereochemistry)
reactivity
hydrophobicity
greater hydrophobicity means ____ ability to cross biological membranes

4 types of drug-receptor interactions
- g protein couple receptors (main one)
- ion channels
- transmembrane with cytosolic domains
- intracellular receptors
g- protein coupled receptors act in ____ time
seconds to minutes
examples of second messengers (2 of them)
cAMP
Ca2+ phosphoionisitide signaling
ion channels act in ___ times
miliseconds (QUICK)
3 KINDS of ion channels
ligand gated
voltage gated
second-messanger regulated
ligand gated channels transmit signal across plasma membrane by _______ transmembrane conductance and changing ____ potential
ligand gated channels transmit signal across plasma membrane by increasing transmembrane conductance and changing membrane potential
example of ligand-gated channels
nicotinic ACh receptor
transmembrane receptors with cytosolic enzymatic domains (5 kinds)
- receptor tyrosine kinase (insulin)
- receptor tyrosine phosphatases (immunosuppression)
- tyrosine kinase -associated
- Ser/Thr kinases (cell growth)
- guanylyl cyclases (smallest family)
intracellular receptors (3 kinds)
- enzymes
- transcription factors
- structural proteins
actions of drugs NOT mediated by receptors (3 kinds)
- antiacids
- agents that affect osmolarity
- chelatic agents
greater potency the drug means the concentration needed for the response is
smaller
what value does potency get associated with?
EC50
the lower the EC50 the _____ the drug
more potent
the higher the EC50 the ____ the drug
less potent
Emax is known as
the maximum response
partial agonists are ____ potent than standard agonsits
LESS
antagonist is an agent that binds to a receptor but cannot produce the conformational change necessary to
trigger the downstream events
competitive antagonists bind ____ to the receptor
REVERSIBLY
With competitive antagonism what kind of shift in the curve do you see?
a shift to the right
