Starting flash cards
Class A G protein receptors
rhodopsin family
-bind amine neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, purines
Class B protein receptors
secretin/glucagon family
-peptide hormone (glucagon, calcitonin)
Class C protein receptors
metabotropic gluatamate receptor
-glutamate
-GABA
-Ca 2+
Ion channel types
cys loop
lonotropic
P2X
Ca2+ release type
kD definition
conc of ligand needed to bind half available receptors
Selectivity vs specificity
selectivity in when it will bind many receptors
specificity is when it only binds one ever
EC50>=Kd50
partial agonist (even when fully bound 100% effect isn’t reached)
Spare receptors
when a drug is very effective and doesn’t need all the receptor it can bind to get 100% tissue response
Metrics of polarity
-Log P (low = hydrophilic)
-Polar surface are (High=hydrophilic)
Parenteral admin
avoids stomach and liver
enteral admin
undergoes FPM
Ficks law
the greater the concentration difference the faster diffusion
Fg
fraction escaping the gut
Fh
fraction escaping liver
Eh
hepatic extraction raito (1-Fh)
