Pharmacodynamics Flashcards
drug targets that are proteins
- receptors
- ion channels
- enzymes
- carriers
ion channels
- when activated will open and form pores in cells and allow ions in and out
- blockers
- modulators
blockers
- permeation blocked
modulators
- increased or decreases opening probability
enzymes
- inhibitors
- false substrate
- pro-drug
inhibitors
- normal reaction inhibited
false substrate
- abnormal metabolite produced
pro-drug
- active drug produced
carriers
- molecules that transport molecules from one side of a membrane to another
- normal transport
- inhibitor
agonist drugs
- mimic the effects of the endogenous agonists
antagonist drugs
- block the effects of endogenous agonists
Kd
- the concentration of the drug at which 50% of receptors are occupied
- direct reflection of the affinity of the drug for the receptor
low Kd means
- greater affinity
all reactions between agonist and receptor
- reversible
dependence of agonist binding to receptors
- concentration dependent
Hill Langmiur equation
Y = [D]
Kd + [D}
[D] = dose of drug Kd = dissociation constant
the lower the Kd
- the more potent the drug
- further to the left
efficacy
- how much effect the drug can produce
- looking for 100% therapeutic effect
what determines potency
- how tightly the drug binds to the receptor
what determines effectiveness
- what that drug does to the receptor after it is bound to it
which y axis tells you the Kd
- has to say receptor occupancy
relationship between receptor occupancy and therapeutic effect
- no relationship
- possible to achieve a full therapeutic effect while only occupying a certain percent of receptors
signal amplification
- maximal cellular response at less-than-maximal receptor occupancy
receptor reserve
- receptors that are available for agonist binding but are not necessary for maximal effect
competitive antagonist
- binds for same binding site as the endogenous agonist
non-competitive agonist
- endogenous agonist and antagonist bind at different sites
- can be reversible or irreversible
how competitive agonist affects dose curve
- decrease in potency
- Kd shifts right
- need more substrate to outcompete the antagonist
how non-competitive agonist affects dose curve
- decrease in efficacy
- you have knocked out receptors so you can’t get the same effect
