Ester
Valency
Number of bonds in uncharged state
Order of bond strength
Ionic (electron transfer)
Covalent (share electron)
Hydrogen
Dipole-dipole
Van der Waal
Polar molecule
Electron pulled more towards one atom. Electrons in upper right hand corner of table are more electronegative.
Determinants of onset of action
- Lipid solubility
- pKa
- Protein binding
Kd =
k1 (proton donor) /
k2 (proton acceptor)
Acids ionise _____ pKa
Above
Bases ionise _____ pKa
Below
pH =
-log10[H]
OR
pKa + log [HCO3]/[CO2]*
*pCO2x0.03
pKa of thio (weak acid)
7.6
pKa of propofol (weak acid)
11
pKa of ketamine (weak base)
7.5
Non specific drug actions (4)
Chelation - suggamadex
Charge neutralisation - gaviscon
Adsorption - charcoal
Osmotic - mannitol
G alpha effects
Acts on adenyl cyclase function
G beta effects
G gamma effects
Acts on pre (Ca2+) and post synaptic (K) membrane
GPCR antagonists
Atropine, clopidogrel
GPCR agonists
Morphine
Types of receptor (4)
- GPCR
- Ion - charged particles pass down electrochemical gradient
- Voltage gated - Na/K/Ca - depolarisation causes conformational change to open channel
- Ligand gated - ion and metabotropic
2 types of ligand gated channel
- Ionotropic (ms) - 5HT3, GABA, ACh
- Metabotropic (mins) - GPCR
Tolerance definition
Require larger dose for same effect
Tachyphylaxis definition
Rapid diminishing response with repeat administration
Law of mass action
Rate of reaction proportional to concentration of reacting components
Kd = equation
[D][R] / [DR]
Ka =
1 / Kd
Kd definition
Drug concentration where half receptors occupied
ED50 definition
Median effective dose
Dose which produces max effect in 50% population
EC50 definition
Concentration which produces 50% of maximum response
Components of dose occupancy graph
X axis concentration
Y axis occupancy
Potency increases towards left of graph
Affinity definition
How well drug binds
Potency definition

Which kind of antagonism can be overcome by increasing agonist concentration
Competitive
Partial agonists can act the same as _______
Competitive antagonists
Describe the graph of agonist in presence of competitive antagonist or partial agonist
Drug conc (x axis)
Response to Emax (y axis)
Curve reaches same Emax but requires higher drug conc
Potency decreases
EC50 the same
