Question
Answer
pharmacodynamics   actions of drug on body; receptors are inactive until ligand (proteins, DNA, enzymes) binds; high and selective affinity needed  
🗑
more pharmacodynamics   drug + receptor --> drug-receptor complex -->effect  
🗑
4 types of receptors   ligand gated ion channels; g-protein coupled receptors; enzyme linked; intracellular  
🗑
Ligand-gated ion channels   change in concentration of some types of ions; ex: cholinergic nicotinic receptors  
🗑
G protein coupled receptors   spans membranes 7X, binds GDP or GTP-large protein family; ex: alpha and beta adrenoreceptors; protein phosphorylation  
🗑
Enzyme-lined receptors   ex: insulin receptors; protein and receptor phosphorylation  
🗑
Intracellular receptors   Ex: steroid receptors; altered gene expression  
🗑
Effectors   molecules that translate the drug-receptor interaction into a change in cellular activity; enzymes (adenylyl cyclase, PLC) or the receptor itself  
🗑
Second messengers   cAMP (protein phosphorylation); IP3 (regulates Ca2+ concentration); DAG (regulates Ca & activates PKC); they work once they are phosphorilated  
🗑
Gs proteins   stimulates adenylyl cyclase & Ca channels  
🗑
Gp proteins   activates phospholipase & signals transduction pathways  
🗑
Gi proteins   inhibitory; inactivates adenylyl cyclase  
🗑
Drug-receptor binding   measures the fraction of receptors bound against drug concentration; affinity of drug (Kd) & number of receptors in system (B max)  
🗑
Dose-response relationship   measures drug response against increasing concentrations of drug; efficacy (E max), potency (EC50), median effective dose (ED 50), and median lethal dose (LD 50)  
🗑
Occupancy theory   the study of pharmacodynamics is based on the concept of drug-receptor binding  
🗑
Potency   amount of drug needed to produce given effect; compare the dose that causes 50% of max effect (EC 50)-the lower the EC 50 the more potent the drug  
🗑
Efficacy   max effect of a drug; depends on number of drug receptor complexes formed  
🗑
Antagonists   favor inactive formation when bound; competitive-irreversibly bound, affects POTENCY, not efficacy; noncompetitive-binds to an allosteric site-reduces EFFICACY, not potency  
🗑
Quantal dose-response curve   demonstrates average effect of a drug as a function of its concentration in a population of individuals; ED50, TD50, LD50  
🗑
Therpeutic Index   safety of the drug; = TD50/ED50; the narrower the distance between 2 curves, the smaller the therapeutic window  
🗑
Effectiveness of drug therapy factors   concentration of drug, metabolic rate, frequency of dosing, food-drug interactions, drug-drug interactions, absorption rate, genetics, excretion rate, half-life of drug, changing medical conditions  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
