INTRO TO PHARMACOLOGY (1) Flashcards
study of substances that interact with living systems through chemical processes, especially by binding to regulatory molecules and activating or inhibiting normal body processes
Pharmacology
General Areas of Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacotherapeutics, Toxicology
describes the adverse effects of therapeutic agents on the human body
Toxicology
describes the clinical applications, C/Is & drug interactions useful for the diagnosis, prevention & treatment of disease
Pharmacotherapeutics
prescribed chemically defined substances with such success that professional enemies had him prosecuted as a poisoner
Theophrastus von Hohenheim
first attempted to consider the theoretical background of pharmacology
Claudius Galen
began to question doctrines handed down from antiquity, demanding knowledge of the active ingredient(s) in prescribed remedies, while rejecting the irrational concoctions and mixtures of medieval medicine
Theophrastus von Hohenheim
whole name of theophrastus von hohenheim
Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim (PTABH)
first to verify by animal experimentation assertions about pharmacological or toxicological actions
Johann Jakob Wepfer
study of the effects and MOAs of drugs
Pharmacodynamics
together with the internist, Bernhard Naunyn, founded the first journal of pharmacology, which has since been published without interruption
Oswald Schmiedeberg
founded the first institute of pharmacology at the University of Dorpat (Estonia) in 1847, ushering in pharmacology as an independent scientific discipline
Rudolf Buccheim
FAther of Anesthesiology
Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim
Father of American Pharmacology
John J. Abel
first formalized receptor theory in the early 1920s by applying the Law of Mass Action to drug-receptor interactions
Alexander J. Clark
selective toxicity
P. Ehrlich
Father of modern pharmacology
Oswald Schmiedeberg
“The empiricists say that all is found by experience. We, however, maintain that it is found in part by experience, in part by theory. Neither experience nor theory alone is apt to discover all.”
Claudius Galen
“The science of medicines is a theoretical, i.e., explanatory, one. It is to provide us with knowledge by which our judgment about the utility of medicines can be validated at the bedside.”
Rudolf Buccheim
“I pondered at length. Finally I resolved to clarify the matter by experiments.”
Johann Jakob Wepfer
“If you want to explain any poison properly, what then isn‘t a poison? All things
are poison, nothing is without poison; the dose alone causes a thing not to be poison.”
Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim
he strove to explain the chemical properties of drugs
Rudolf Buccheim
Effects of drug are brought about by what?
Drug-receptor interaction
ability to bind to a receptor
Affinity
ability to generate a series of biochemical events leading to an effect
Intrinsic Activity
combining of a drug molecule with the receptor for which it has affinity,
Drug-receptor interaction
drugs initiation of a pharmacologic response by its___
intrinsic activity
Serves as the ligand
drug
serves as the substrate
receptor
pharmacological action is not directly dependent on chemical
structure
Structural Nonspecific Drugs
pharmacological action results primarily from their chemical
structure
Structural Specific Drugs
Examples of SND
NO and Halothane
Examples of SSD
Antibiotics, sulfonamides
component of a cell or organism that interacts with a drug and initiates the chain of events leading to the drug’s observed effects
receptor
4 theories of Drugreceptor
- Hypothesis of Clark
- Hypothesis of Ariëns and Stephenson
- Hypothesis of Paton
- Lock and Key Hypothesis
T/F Receptors are usually protein or proteinaceous materials
True
aka Rate Theory
Hypothesis of Paton
effectiveness lasts as long as the receptor is occupied
Hypothesis of Ariens and Stephenson/ occupation Theory
Only dependent on the afifnity
Hypothesis of Clark
Hypothesis of Ariens and Stephenson is aka
Occupation Theory
drug molecule must fit into a receptor like a key fits into a lock
Lock and Key Hypothesis
effectiveness does not depend upon actual occupation of the receptor, but upon obtaining the proper stimulus only
Rate Theory/ Hypothesis of PAthon
depends on the affinity and intrinsic activity of the drug
Occupation Theory/H of Ariens and Stephenson
Types of receptors
TIGOK
- Transmembrane ion channels
- Intracellular hormone receptors
- G protein-linked transmembrane receptors
- Other mechanisms
- Kinase-linked transmembrane receptors
open & close to allow the selective transport of ions across membranes
Transmembrane ion channels
two types of Transmembrane ion channels
Ligand and Voltage gated
GABA receptor is what kind of TIC
Ligand Gated
signal transducer that conveys information from the receptor to the second messenger systems
G-protein system
structures related to g protein-linked receptors
- amino terminal
- heptahelical polypeptide
chain - carboxyl terminal
- G-protein
- second messenger systems
T/F g-protein system consists of 4 different subunits namely alpha beta gamma and sigma
F. first three lang ang true
activates phospholipase C
Gq
activates adenylyl cyclase
Gs
Inhibits adenylyl cyclase
Gi
synthesized from guanosine triphosphate (GTP) by guanylyl cyclase
cGMP
types of second messenger systems
Cyclic nucleotide system and Phosphatidylinositol system
T/F cAMP is synthesized from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by guanylyl cyclase
False. Adenylyl cyclase dapat
T/F only DAG is synthesized from phosphatidylinositol 4,5- bisphosphate (PIP2) by phospholipase C
F. Both IP3 and DAG
meaning of IP3
inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate
inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol are both synthesized from ________ by __________
phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (IP2); phospholipase C
kinase linked receptors are polypeptides consisting of
extracellular hormone-
binding domain and cytoplasmic enzyme domain
give examples of kinase-linked receptors
- insulin
- epidermal growth factor (EGF)
- platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
- atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
- transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)
types of cytoplasmic enzyme domain
- tyrosine kinase

Classifications of Drug Action
