intro L1-8 Flashcards
pharmacodynamics
effect of drug on body
pharmacokinetics
effect of body on drug
pharmacokinetics factors
adsorption
distribution
metabolism
excretion
antihistimine action
cross blood-brain barrier into CNS, antagonizing H1 receptors and blocking histimine
antihistimine class
reversible competitive inhibitors, therefore can be overridden
drug-interaction factors
shape
charge distribution
hydrophobicity
ionisation of drug
conformation of target
stereochemistry of drug molecule
drug action targets
receptors
ion channels
enzymes
carrier molecules
drugs acting via physico-chemical properties
antacids
laxatives
antidotes
agonist
drug mimicking endogenous chemical messengers, eliciting a cellular response
antagonist
drug blocking chemical messengers
NSAID’s
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Benzodiazepine action
bind to GABAa at B-2 binding site
signal receptor transduction
receptor binds agonist
altered physical/ biochemical properties of receptor
4 drug-responding receptor types
ligand-gated ion
G-protein coupled
enzyme-linked
intracellular
nicotinic ACh receptors
at skeletal muscle
antagonists used as muscle relaxants
heterotrimeric G-proteins
coupled to effectors producing 2nd messengers
Gi
inhibits adenlyl cyclase
Gq
activates phospholipase C
Gs
activates adenlyl cyclase
kinase-linked receptor
ligand-binding extracellular domain attached to intracellular by single span membrane helix
ligand binding> dimerisation> auto-phosphorylation
insulin receptorq
tyrosine kinase activity in beta sub unit increase> autophosphorylating and promoting other kinase phosphorylation
action of nuclear intracellular receptor
enters nucleus and binds to receptor for txn
CLASS II
e.g. heterodimers and lipid ligands
CLASS I intracellular receptors
in cytoplasm
e.g. homodimers and endocrine
graded dose-response curve
response of a particular system
quantal dose-response curve
drug dose for a specified response
functions of dose-response curve
allow estimation of Emax/ EC50
efficacy/ potency determination
affinity
strength w which agonist/ drug binds to receptor
tendency of ligand to form stable complex w receptor
K1
rate of receptor against association
K-1
rate of AR complex dissociation
affinity formula
K1/K-1
association rate/ complex dissociation rate
Bmax
max number of binding sites
Kd
equilibrium dissociation constant
concentration of ligand when 50% of receptors occupied
(lower=higher affin)
Kd functions
receptor identification
quantitative comparison of drug affinity
affinity factors
no./nature of bonds
level of fit
Kd
potency
amount of drug required to
produce given effect
potency factors
affinity
efficacy
receptor density
affinity of stimulus-response mechanisms used
when is Kd = EC50
if occupation and bio effect is linear
receptor property meaning only fractional occupancy is required for max effect
receptors can amplify signal duration and intensity
efficacy
ability of an agonist to activate a receptor
efficacy determination
max effect agonist can produce regardless of dose
nature of receptor-effector system
full agonist
high efficacy
max response w partial occupancy
partial agonist
max response not available even with full occupancy
inverse agonist
higher affinity for AR state than AR*
positive allosteric modulators
not active alone
high affin/ efficacy of endogenous agonist
negative allosteric modulators
not active alone
low affin/ efficacy of endogenous agonist
receptor desensitization
effect reduction with continual/ repeated administration
factors of receptor desensitization
conformational changes in receptor
receptor internalization
mediator depletion
altered drug metabolism
other physio responses
types of antagonist
chemical
physiological
pharmacological
chemical antagonist
binding of 2 agents rendering inactivity of drug
cholating agent
physiological antagonist
2 agents with opposite effects cancelling each other out
pharmacological antagonist
