Pharmacokinetics/dynamics Flashcards
small hydrophobic molecules diffuse across plasma membranes
Co2, O2
specific protein that is the site of binding
receptor
a compound that is specific for reach receptor and activates it
ligand
molecules neutral in charge
non-polar
molecule with partial negative and positive charge
polar
strongest bond strength
covalent
weakest bond strength
van der waals
receptor most prevalent in the body
G-protein
name the four receptor types
ion channel, g-protein, intrinsic enzyme, intracellular
ligand-gated ion channel examples
nicotinic, glutamate, GABA-A, glycine
play an important role in muscle contraction and propagation of action potential
voltage-gated
contains the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits
g-protein
second messenger actions are
tissue specific
long term treatment with agonist leads to
desensetization
long term treatment with antagonist leads to
hypersensitization
located in the CNS and peripheral tissues, and responsible for fight or flight response
adrenergic receptors
located in vascular smooth muscle and post-synaptic CNS
alpha 1
both pre and post synaptic, in pancreatic islet cells, platelets, and nerve terminals
alpha 2
post synaptic activation of alpha 2 receptors leads to
vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation
pre synaptic alpha 2 receptors
inhibit norepi release
activation of this receptor increases cAMP
beta
increases cAMP leading to vasodilation
