Lec2 Flashcards
chemical that affects function of living organism
drug
specialized macromolc concerned in chemical signaling
receptor
diff bn agonist and antagonist
agonist bind receptor, generate effect like endogenous ligand
antagonist (pharmacologic) bind receptor & prevent binding and effect of agonist
most drugs were what type of molc
small organic
3 large molcs
peptides
polypeptides
proteins
use of nucleic acids as drugs to treat diseases
gene therapy
who coined the magic bullet concept for synthesis of antibacterials (kill bacteria w/o harming body itself by hitting a specific target)
ehrlich
who introduced concept of receptive substance (somethign that reacts when you introduce the drug)
langley
first scientist who quantified drug-induced biological responses & thought of pharm as a chemistry
clark
what are the 4 physiological receptors
LGIC
GPCRs
growth factor/ cytokine receptors (kinase-linked)
intracellular hormone receptors (nuclear)
diff bn pharmacologic and physiologic antagonist
pharm - binds receptor, prevents binding and the effect of endogenous ligand
ex. block Na channels –> inhibit AP
physio - an agonist inhibits effect of another by interacting w receptors that make opposite effect
ex. activate Cl channels –> harder for neurons to reach threshold to get AP
bind receptor at site other than that of endogenous ling and potentiate or inhibit the effect of the ligand
allosteric modulator
physiological receptors have agonists that make what type of change
electrical or biochemical change aka 2ns messenger
ligands include
NT
hormones
growth factors
order the physiological receptors from fastest to slowest (include times)
LGIC (msec)
GPCR (sec)
kinase-linked (hours)
hormone or nuclear (hours)
diff bn specificity and selectivity
specificity- ability to make effects by a single mechanism of action by intxtn w single target type
selectivity- ability to make a single effect (1 drug –> 1 effect)
t/f a drug can be selective but not specific
f: a drug can be specific but not selective
bc target may be present in many tissues
which ions have high conc inside? outside?
inside cell - K is high
outside cell - Na, Ca, Cl is high
cys-loop LGIC superfam includes
glycine
GABAA
5-HT3
nACH (nicotinic)
cys-loop LGIC mediate what type of chemical transmission
fast
first LGIC ever identified
nACH
where do nACH mediate synaptic transmission
at neuromuscular junctions
