38
Q

R-OH + R –> R-O-R’

A

conjugation

39
Q

contains furanocoumarins which inhibit a P450 enzyme, increases levels of lipitor in bloodstream | can also block transporters in intestine which are responsible for uptake (allegra)

A

grapefruit juice

40
Q

urination, sweat, exhalation, liver–bile

A

excretion

41
Q

bifunctional role of receptor, one “thing” for which atropine and pilocarpine are competing in salivary glands (DATE, PERSON, THEORY NAME)

A

john langley (1878)- receptor theory

42
Q

coined the term “receptor,” lock and key metaphor (person and dates)

A

Paul Ehrlich (1854 - 1915)

43
Q

molecules that bind receptors

A

ligands

44
Q

cause a positive response (biological), can initiate second messenger response

A

agonist

45
Q

binds with high affinity, but doesn’t have biological effect (nothing turned on in cell), no second messenger pathway, blocks normal chemical binding, blocked cellular activity

A

antagonist

46
Q

one example antagonist can be used for response

A

narcan for heroin overdose

47
Q

Gs

A

stimulates adenylyl cyclase - takes ATP and forms cAMP, alters PKA, catalytic subunits run free and phosphorylate downstream targets

48
Q

Gi

A

inhibits adenylyl cyclase

49
Q

Gq

A

stimulates PLC - DAG–>PL(K?)C

50
Q

Go

A

couples directly to ion channels

51
Q

how many transmembrane domains do G protein receptors have?

A

7

52
Q

nicotine is agonist for this type of channel

A

ligand-gated ion channel

53
Q

transporter: just takes one

A

transporter: uses ATP

A

ATP-driven transporter

57
Q

proteins which interact with DNA following binding of a ligand (e.g. estrogen)

A

Transcriptional activator

58
Q

receptor where each monomer has half of the receptor sites, presence of ligand bring 2 monomers together, they phosphorylate each other, then phosphorylates downstream intracellular target

A

Tyrosine Kinase Receptor

binding assay demonstration

A

once receptors are filled, more drugs wont bind

regions responsible for making associations with drug - influences affinity

A

binding domain

74
Q

region that interacts with drug that “turns on” receptor (conformational change)

A

activation domain

75
Q

____ is a measure of how well a drug binds; ____ is a measure of how well a drug can produce desired effect

A

affinity, efficacy

76
Q

dose response curves can tell you response to drug, but neither ___ or ____ specifically

A

affinity, efficacy

77
Q

concentration of drug at which 50% of population exhibits a response after a certain period

A

EC50, lower EC50 is a better drug

78
Q

receptor expression, ligand affinity, and intrinsic efficacy, all constitute:

A

drug effectiveness

79
Q

receptor expression is not ___ within population, or even within people

A

constant

80
Q

with sudden high concentrations of agonist, receptor becomes phosphorylated, inactivated, and internalized/sequestered

A

desensitization

81
Q

with chronic levels of agonist, receptors become phosphorylated multiple times, inactivated, and internalized, having been tagged for degradation, B- arrestin involved

A

downregulation

82
Q

administration of 2nd drug to allow re-sensitization of 1st drug’s receptors

A

drug vacation

83
Q

drug binding and biological response are ___ correlated

A

directly

84
Q

Therapeutic index

A

TD50/ED50 (2 is not safe drug, doubling dose causes side effects in 1/2 of population

85
Q

Therapeutic window

A

TD50 - ED50

86

3 categories of neurotransmitters of ANS

A

ACH, catecholamines (NE and E), and indolamines (serotonin)
