A
- adamantanes
- look like a little hat
- contain NH3+ Cl-
19
Q
inhibitors of neuraminidase (antiviral agent)
A
- zanamivir
- tamiflu
- both transition state inhibitors
20
Q
antidiabetic agents
A
- insulinotropic agents
- insulin-sensitising agents
21
Q
insulinotropic agents
A
- sulfonylureas
- act by closing membrane bound ATP sensitive potassium channels
22
Q
SAR of sulfonylureas
A
- Sulfur atom double bonded to two oxygens
23
Q
insulin-sensitising agents
A
- biguanides
- thiazolidinediones
24
Q
SAR of biguanides
A
- has a double bonded NH side chain
25
common features in thiazolidinedione agonists
- pentagon structure with NH and S and two double bonded oxygens
- PPARy agonists
- treat diabetes by lowering serum glucose without increasing insulin secretion
26
PPARy
- nuclear receptor
- regulates fatty acid storage and glucose metabolism
27
alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
- numerous benzene rings attached to each other with lots of phenol groups
- delays digestion of dietary carbohydrate in the form of starch and sucrose into monosaccharides
- delaying absorption lowers blood glucose
28
classes of antineoplastics (anti-tumor)
- alkylating agents
- antimetabolites (acting on enzymes
- inhibitors of signaling pathways
- antimitotics
- topoisomerase II inhibitors
29
central nervous system agents
opioids
30
SAR of opioids
- 3 benzene rings
- alkene or 6-hydroy groups not essential
- phenol group is important
- tertiary amine is important
31
point to consider with opioids
analgesic activity not only related to presence of important function groups, but to their relative position with respect to each other
32
psychoactive drugs (hypnotics)
- benzodiazepines
- enhance effect of GABA at GABAa receptor, resulting in sedative, hypnotic, anxilytic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant properties
33
SAR of benzodiazepines
- benzene ring and 7-member diazepine ring
- activity decreased with substitutions on nitrogen larger than methyl
- activity decreased by substituents at benzene ring positions other that C7
- activity increased by electron withdrawing groups on C7
34
another psychoactive drug (hypnotics)
- barbiturates
35
SAR of barbiturates
- benzene ring with nitrogen substitutions in meta-substitution
- double bonded oxygens in ortho position
- hypnotic activity increases with lipid solubility until number of C atoms at both C-5 substituents is between 6 and 10
- unsaturated alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl derivatives more hypnotic than saturated analogues
- polar substituents at position 5 decreases lipid solubility and potency
- replacement of oxygen at C-2 by sulfur results in faster onset but shorter duration of activity
36
drugs of alzheimers
- neostigmine
- donepezil
- rivastigmine
- galantamine
37
SAR of alzheimer's drugs
- benzene ring attached to ester group
- ester attached to Me2N
38
SAR of drugs for parkinson's disease
- based on L-DOPA, the precursor to dopamine, NA and A
- single benzene ring with two phenol groups at the meta and para positions
- R in dopamine = Me2NH2
- R in NA = CH(OH)CH2NH2
- R in A = CH(OH)CH2NHCH3
39
respiratory agents
- based on ephedrine
- salbutamol and salmeterol
40
SAR of respiratory agents
- N-alkyl substitution increases potency for beta-adrenergic receptor
- phenol group important
- alpha-methyl substitution increases potency for alpha-adrenergic receptor
- salbutamol has a hydroxymethylene group on meta position
- salmeterol is simply a longer molecule
41
why does salmeterol have a long duration of action compared to salbutamol?
because it is more lipophilic, so it can cross the BBB more easily
