Exam 1: Pharmacodynamics Flashcards
The study of the effects of drugs and their mechanism of action in the body
Pharmacodynamics
Describes what the animal does to the dug
Pharmacokinetics
Describes that the drug does to the animal
Pharmacocynamics
What are the 3 effects that drugs have after administration
- Targets for drug action
- Drug-receptor interactions
- Quantification of drug response
T/F Physical interactions of drugs cause non specific effects
T
What are the two forms of biological interaction of drugs?
- Non receptors
2. Receptors
What are the 3 criteria of non receptor biological interactions
- Voltage gated ion channels
- Enzymes
- Carrier proteins
What are the 4 types of Receptors for biological interactions of drugs
- Ionotropic
- GPCR
- Kinase-coupled
- Nuclear receptors
WHat are 3 examples of Physical interaction of drugs?
- Osmotic diuretics
- Antacids that act by direct neutralization of acid in the GIT
- Radioactive Iodine
How do drugs Target ion channels in non receptor interactions?
Physically obstructing of ion channels and modulation of opening and closing channels
How do drugs effect enzymes in non receptor interactions?
compete for binding to enzymes
Small polar molecules cannot cross the memb. and thus require _____
carrier proteins
How do drugs effect carier proteins in non receptor interactions
Alter the proteins and remove molecules from their site of action ending their effects
Groups of 4-5 proteins embedded in the cell memb. forming a pore
Ligand gated ion channels
What is another term for Ligand gated ion channels
Ionotropic
What happens when a drug binds to an ionotropic channel?
prevents ions such as Ca and Na from passing through
Receptor that transduces an extracellular signal to an intracellular one
GPCR
What is another name for GCPR?
7TM or Metabotropic
Which type of receptor is used for fast neurotransmission?
Ligand gated ion channels (ionotropic)
Which type of receptor is used for slow secretory and smooth muscle functions
GCPR (metabotropic)
What are the 3 G alpha subunits of GPCRs?
- Gas
- Gai
- Gaq
WHich G subunit of GPCR is inhibitory
Gai
Which G subunit of GPCR is stimulatory
Gas
Which G subunit of GPCR is coupled to PLC
Gaq
Describe the Gs protein receptor coupled pathway
Couples to adenylate cyclase causing and inc in cAMP, which phosphorylates cellular constituents
Describe the Gi protein receptor coupled pathway.
Couples negatively to adenylate cyclase causing an dec in cAMP which closes Ca and K channels
