Antagonist
Prevents Binding by other molecules on a receptor.
Competitive Antagonists
AKA: reversable
Surmountable, Both Antagonist and agonist bind to site receptor and compete
Irreversible Antagonist
AKA: Non-competitive
Drug binds to the receptor and stays bounds.
High Affinity
Agonist
Drugs bind to and activate the receptor
Partial Agonists
Blocks the agonist binding site with less response than a full agonist. *Hovers Over Sight*
Reversible Antagonists
Readily Dissociate for receptor
Chemical Antagonists
**Ionically Binds**
Pharmacological Antagonist
Same action as an Agonist
Physiologic Antagonist
Opposite effect of the agonist
Agonist
Bind, directly or indirectly bring about the effect
Affinity
How well binds to the receptor
Efficacy
How well it causes a response
Full Agonists
Produces a full response at full receptor occupancy
Partial Agonists
Lower responses at full receptor occupancy
Adverse Drug Reactions
Harmful or unintended response
Calcium Channel Blocker
Ca2+ Blocking
Cytokins
Receptor for many polypeptide growth factors
Potency
The amount of drug needed to produce an effect.
Evaluated with Strength and Effectivness
Solubility of Water
More Charged = More water soluble = Directly Proportional
Solubility of Lipids
More Charged = Less Lipid soluble = Inversely proportional
Aqueous Diffusion
Higher to Lower concentration = Fick's Law
Lipid Diffusion
Fick's Law =MOST IMPORTANT LIMITING FACTOR FOR DRUG PERMEATION IS THE LIPID BARRIERS
Osmosis
Water through semi-permeable membrane...Fick's Law
Lipophilicity
Ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids and NON-Polar solvents
Therapeutic Index
Lethal Dose (LD50) / Effective Dose (ED50)

High value is better than low
Toxicology
Undesirable effects of chemical on living systems
Forensics
Application of basic sciences to solve crimes
Pharmacology
Study of substances that interact with living systems through chemical processes
Pharmacodynamics
Effect of DRUG on the BODY
Pharmacokinetics
Effect of BODY on the DRUG
Bioavailability
Fraction of unchanged drug reaching the systemic circulation following administration
Maximum Effect
(EMAX) Efficacy of a drug is the maximum effect achievable
Delayed Effect
Changes in drug effect often delayed in relation to changes in the plasma
Cumulative Effects
Drug effects may be related to cumulative action

IE: Chemotherapy
Immediate Effects
Drug effects are DIRECTLY related to plasma concentration
Receptor
Specific component of a cell that interacts with a drug and initiates a chain of events
GABA Receptor
The Chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS
Orphan Receptors
Special Drug research done to create drugs that can bind to these. Have unknown ligands
Half Life
Time required to change the amount of drug in the body by one-half
Absorption
Determined by site of administration and drug formulation
Zero Order Absorption
Rate of absorption is INDEPENDENT of drug remaining in gut
First Order Absorption
Rate is PROPORTIONAL to amount of drug in gut
Volume of Distribution
Amount/Concentration
Metabolism
Common Sense??
Based on a number of factors
Elimination
Clearance

= Rate of Elimination / Drug concentration
Two major sites of drug elimination
Renal and Hepatic
Steady State elimination
Rate of Drug Administration = Rate of Elimination
First Order Elimination
Rate of drug eliminated is DIRECTLY proportional to concentration of the drug
Capacity Limited Elimination
Once saturation has occurred, the rate of elimination fails to increase with increased drug amount.
What Quantifies Drug Safety?
The Therapeutic Index
Protonation
Combining with a proton
Effective Dose
ED50

50% of population manifests given effect
Toxic Dose
TD50

50% of population manifests given toxic effect
Lethal Dose
LD50

Dose which kills 50% of subjects
Biotransformation
Occurs between absorption and elimination

Phase I and Phase II
Phase I of Biotransformation
Makes a drug more polar
Phase II of Biotransformation
Makes a drug even more polar than Phase I or "Highly Polar"
Quantal Dose Response
Shows Population response to different doses of a drug

ED50 is used
All-or-None Effect
Used in Sleep Medications

-Either you fall asleep or you do not.
Clearance is the most important factor to...?
Determining Drug Concentration
Which route of administration has the most rapid onset?
Intravenous
Which route of administration is most convenient?
Oral
Which route is very slow, but used for its lack of first pass effect?
Trans-dermal
Drug Trial Phase 1
Small Number of HEALTHY people.
IS IT SAFE?
Drug Trial Phase 2
Modest number of SICK people.
DOES IT WORK ON PATIENTS?
Drug Trials Phase 3
Larger group of SICK people.

DOES IT WORK IN A DOUBLE BLIND?
Drug Trials Phase 4
Post Marketing Surveillance

Does not really ever end unless the drug is pulled from the market etc.
Acute Toxicity
1 Dose, 2 Species
Rather Quickly
Subacute Toxicity
3 Doses, 2 species,
4 Weeks to 3 months
Chronic Toxicity
6 Months or longer
-Rodent and non rodent species
Carcinogenic Potential
When drug is intended for prolonged use. 2 years, 2 species
Mutagenic Potential
Effects on genetic Stability
Investigative Toxicology
Determins sequence of mechanisms of toxic action
Creatine Clearance
Quantitative Indicator of Renal Function
FDA
Grants Approval for marketing of new drugs
IND
Key Words = Filed with FDA once a drug is Ready to be studied in humans
NDA
Key Words = Phase 3 is successful....Submitted to request permission to market
ANDA
Key Words = GENERIC APPROVAL
