Test 2 Flashcards
Agonist
Mimics Physiological ligand
Antagonist
Binds to part of the receptor and inhibits ligand binding.
Agonist differ in…
Affinity (1/Kd), efficacy, and or potency.
Partial agonist
Has affinity for receptor but only elicits partial response.
Surmountable antagonism
Comp inhibition reduces receptor sensitivity to agonist but does not diminish max function.
Biased agonist
Works same as agonist but only elicits a certain part of the signal transduction
Constitutive activity
Tone made by spontaneous change or receptor from rested to active states without agonist.
Inverse agonist
Lowers the constitutive activity
When high spare receptor
Graph looks like competitive inhibition, Affinity shifts right first, then later Efficacy falls when used and we see it is irreversible.
Functional groups control…
solubility, route of administration, binding, mode of action, metabolism, duration, and adverse effects.
FG electronic effect
Measures ability to donate or pull away electrons. Effected by resonance and inductive effect.
Inductive effect
How easily an atom or FG can attract electrons from other groups. Leads to H bonding.
Oxygen
Is EWG except when by resonance capable group like phenyl ring
Electron donating groups
Push electrons towards more electronegative atom. FGs with lone pairs can do this
Electron withdrawing groups
Most important in medchem. CF3 is most powerful EWG. Acids good EWG.
FG ionization…
increases hydrophilicity
An acid…
Proton donor. More pos hydrogen = more acidic
A Base…
Proton acceptor. More electron density, more basic
Aldehyde
Will not be in drug molecules because it forms covalent bonds with nuleophiles
Carboxylic acids
Good at ionizing. Will react with bases to make salts with high water solubility. EWG make them more acidic. EDG Destabilize and reduce it.
Esters
Only H bond accept
Amides
Cannot H bond accept because lone pair is in resonance with carbonyl.
Amines
Hydrogen bond donors and acceptors. When rpotonated cannot HBA. Can HBD stronger.
Ketones
Participate in hydrongen, DD and DI binding. Mostly H bonding.
Alchols
Inter/intramolecular H bonding. Bond to H2O. Terminal OH on long C chain less soluble.
Phenols
Weak organic acids
halogenated hydrocarbond
Major use is in anesthetics.
Aromatic hydocarbond
E clouds above and below ring. Van der waals and Pi Pi stacking. Aromatic rings flat and can fit where cyclohexane rings cannot.
