Set 1 Flashcards
pharmacology def
science of interactions of chemical compounds with biological systems
pharmacodynamics def
the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and mechanisms of their actions, including the correlation of their actions and effects with their chemical structure
pharmacokinetics def
the study of the absorption, distribution, biotransformation, and elimination of xenobiotics
nature of the drugs is defined by
actions (agonist or antagonist)
T/F the drug receptor is the cornerstone of pharmacology
True
What interacts with the receptor to stimulate a biological response
agonist
what are the most basic pharmacodynamic principles
D+R-DR-Effect
D+R-DRcomplex-effector mol-effect
D+R-DRcomplex-couple mol-effector mol-effect
what is the first step of the pharmacodynamic principles
drugs bind
what kinds of interactions do drugs have
orthosteric-agonists and allosteric-PAM/NAM
T/F there is only 1 orthosteric site but many allosteric sites
true
on a graph
full agonist-highest line
partial agonist-middle line
antagonist- straight xaxis line
inverse agonist-below xaxis line
T/F inhibitors of metabolism or reuptake of endogenous ligands have drug like responses
true
to produce the characteristic effects of the drug being used what does the drug do
the drug must achieve adequate concentration at its site of action
T/F drugs have one effect
FALSE drugs will have many effects
high affinity causes the drugs to bind ___ and leave __
fast, slow
low affinity causes the drugs to bind ___ and leave __
slow, fast
acute effects
are fine
