binding of one drug to another forming insuoluve complex whichc annot be absorbed

49
Q

an example of chelation

A

tetracycline binding to calcium/iron so no longer as effectiv

50
Q

another was drugs can interact

compete for renal tubular transporter
therefore reducing excretion

kinetic
body on drug

52
Q

synergism and antagonism

A

work togerther same affect e.g. apsirin and clopi
therefore increased bleeding risk
vs antagonsm e.g. vitamin K and warfarin -opposing effects

53
Q

what can occur at a receptor

A

interacton at a receptor leading to allosteric modulation
drug bindign at a site on a receptor
different to alloteric which changes shape and activity

54

Q

what is 10mg diazepam equaivelent to

A

1mg lorazepam

58
Q

how is the ga ba receptor activated

A

alpha and beta subunits proteins form the bindign site for GABA

activation occurs when conformational change to the central pore
chloride ions enter the neuron and cause hyperpolarisation to neuron

59

what is Daridorexant

A

Daridorexant is an orexin OX1- and OX2-receptor antagonist that blocks the action of orexin neuropeptides, thereby decreasing wakefulness.

74
Q

e first SSRI to be developed

A

75
Q

what is allosteric modulation

A

Allosteric modulation involves a drug binding to a site on a receptor that is different from the active site (allosteric site). This binding can change the receptor’s shape and activity, either enhancing (positive allosteric modulation) or inhibiting (negative allosteric modulation) the effect of the primary ligand.
P

76
Q

what are positive allosteric modulation

A

positive allosteric modulators (PAMs): These enhance the effects of the primary ligand. For example, benzodiazepines act as PAMs at the GABA-A receptor, increasing the effect of the neurotransmitter GABA and resulting in sedative and anxiolytic effects.

77
Q

what are negative allosteric

A

Negative allosteric modulators (NAMs): These inhibit the effects of the primary ligand. For example, some experimental drugs that act as NAMs at the mGluR5 receptor are being studied for the treatment of disorders like anxiety and depression by dampening overactive glutamatergic signalling.
