Lecture 1 - Intro Flashcards
Potential for drug-receptor binding.
Affinity
Binding site w/ biological effect.
Receptor
Capacity to produce a biological effect.
Intrinsic activity
Having intrinsic activity and affinity.
Agonist
Affinity without intrinsic activity.
Antagonist
A stereospecific phenomenon whereby a bound ligand influences specificity of a second site
Allostery
Efficacy
[affinity] x [intrinsic activity]
‘effective’ concentration in 50% of subjects
EC50
‘effective’ dose in 50% of subjects
ED50
‘inhibitory’ concentration in 50% of subjects
IC50
Result in chronic antagonism.
hypersensitivity
minimum amount of drug producing maximum therapeutic effect
maximum dose
Low intrinsic activity with potency and affinity within therapeutic range.
partial agonist
Drug –> Body
Pharmacodynamics
Body –> Drug (ADME)
Pharmacokinetics
Drug –> Disease
Pharmacotherapeutics
Science of drug dosing
Posology
response to a give dose
Potency
Loss of pharmacological effect.
Resistance
Ability to produce a desired effect versus adverse effect.
Selectivity
