Class Flashcards
Receptor
Regulatory role-interact with drug and initiates drug effects
Inert binding site
Drug binds without changing any function of receptor
Ligand
Binds to receptor
Covalent bond of ligand and receptor
Irreversible
Need to resynthesize
Non covalent ligand receptor binding
Reversible
Most
List types of bonds strongest to weakest (non covalent)
Ionic, hydrogen, hydrophobic interaction, van der waals
What are van der walls
Weak electrostatic interactions involving dipole moments within functional groups
Dose response curve
Drug and its effects
Linear?
Log of dose response curve
Drug dose log x
Y drug effect
Hyperbolic
Concentration effect curve log vs response
Sigmoidal curve
Emax
Max effect
ED50
Dose that produces 50% of its maximal effect
Graded response
How much
Magnitude of response varies continuously
Mean value within a population or subject
Quintal response
Yes or no
Binary response
Is there a response, if so how many
Need predefined response
Examine frequency of a large population
Quantal non cumulative dose response curve
Number or % of individuals responding at a certain dose of a drug and only at that dose
Cumulative quantal dose response curve
Number or % of individuals responding at a certain dose of a drug and at all doses lower than that dose
what kind of graph do you get TI from
Cumulative dose response curve
TI
TD50/ED50
Therapeutic window
Range at which safe and effective
What determines the binding and nteraction of drugs with their receptors
Size shape charge
High affinity
Less drug needed to produce a response
Low affinity
More drug needed to produce a responses
Kd
Parameter describing affinity
Equilibrium dissociation constant
What is the Kd
Drug concentration at which 50% of the drug receptor binding sites are occupied by the drug
