Definition of Pharmacology, Drugs
Pharm: the science of drugs, prep, uses, effects

Drugs: any chemical agent that has an effect of processes associtated with life
Receptor Characteristics
1. Must be biologically important-proteins
2.Structural feature which permit drug specificity
3. Drug binding site and biologically active site(can be same, often seperate)
Molecules capable of serving as receptors
1.Enzymes: complex, impt, catalytic site
2. Membrane Proteins: most important, EC triggers something intracellularly
3. Nucleic Acids: can be targets, set up rxn cascades
4. Polysaccharrides: On cell membrane, involved in cell interactions
Major classes of signal transduction receptors(all membrane bound except intracellular receptors), examples and structures
1. Ligand Gated-5 polypeptides with alpha helices in MB EX: Nicotinic Receptor
AcH binds Receptor(2 of them)-->opens channel, Na rushes in-->contraction

2. G-protein-linked Receptor-MB bound 7 polypeptides, Ex. Epinephrine, Rhodopsin, cascade of intracellular events

3. Catalytic Receptor: single polypeptide, drug binding site and catalytis site. Ex. Oncogenes, come in pairs

4. Intracellular- binds LIPID soluble drugs. EX: Steroid Receptors-steroid binds receptor which migrates to nucleus and binds dna-->alters transcription
Factors which affect Drug Binding Forces
1. bond envergy
2. bond number
3. attractive distance
4. Bond requirements
Bond Force Types:
1. Covalent-Very strong hence not used in drugs much. Ex. Asprin

2. Ionic Bond-medium strength, varies with distance of bond(squared). 1st type of attraction, non specific

3. Hydrogen-weak, short distance but can have multiple bonds and provides some specificity(FOHN). Because multiple can be strong

4. Cationic pi bond-+ chaged molecule with ammonium group interacts with benzene ring's e- cloud. similar to ionic but weaker(like hydrogen)

5. Van der Waals-weakest and short distance but provides most specificity. Molecular match can lead to collective strength in bonds

6. Hydrophobic: helps stabilize bonds. Attraction of H20 to itself forces drug to receptor site
Cooperation of binding forces example:
Epinephrine and B-adrenergic R

B-adrenergic R: 7-G protein linked

Initial attraction: aspartic acid is negative charge on receptor, attracts + charge group of epi

Orientation: hydroxyl groups on benzene of epi form H-bonds with serine resides(receptors)

Strengthening: Vdw-->binding

binding-->g protein cascade-->heart beat stronger
Consequences of Drug Binding
1. Conformational Induction-changes confirmation of receptor to either bind or not bind drug
Ex. Allosteric inhibition(epi) or activation

2. Conformational selection- Receptor exists in 2 phases, passive or active. Drug binding to each phase further stabilizes the phase. Ex. indirect allosteric,

Active-drug binds active Rs-->shifts eq so, body makes more active Rs
Inactive-drugs binds inactive Rs, shifts eq so active Rs become inactive

3. Effector site blocking actions-drug competes with substrate at catalytis site, either does the same thing as substrate or
blocks its activity.
Ex. Carbonic anhydrase: forms CO2, H2O which causes altitiude sickness, inhibit/prevent sickness by blocking catalytic site
Conformational Diagram Constants
Kia- Eq between active/inactive R

Kdi-Eq b/w Ri + D/ RiD

Kda- eq b/w Ra + D / RaD

KDia- eq b/w RaD/ RiD
if R preferentially binds Ra how does the Eq shift in conformational selection?
Ri --> Ra
Structure Activity Relationships:
-Small changes in molecular structure can cause large change in drug action

-because Rs are so conserved and similar in structure. Modding drug leads to new binding to new receptor. Ex. prozine, antihistamine-->schizo
Dose-Response Relationships Goal
dose to effective yet not enough to be toxic
Dose-Response Relationships: Occupational Theory
Single drug binds to a single receptor to give singular effect

Michaelis Mention Equation:

D+R <-> DR <-> effect
K1= binding
K2=dissociation
Kd= K2/K1 = dosage of drug(D) as which Contraction is 50%

Effect = Max effect x D/ Kd + D

Drug dose = X axis

Contraction percentage = Y-axis
Potency
Amount of drug needed to attain a desired effect.

More Potency = less drug, lower dissociation constant=likes to bind to R
Efficacy
Max effect one can achieve with a given amount of drug
Graph of Contraction vs. log dose:
Threshold dose
Ceiling effect
Linear component
threshold: below which there is no effect

ceiling effect: beyond which you get no effect

Linear component-therapeutic range, constant predictor of effect/dose
Agonist
Any drug that creates a change +/-

Relative Effect = a x D / Kd + D
Effect = e x Rt(receptors) x D / Kd + D


Full: produce ceiling effects, maximum effectiveness but K3(intrinsic activity) may differ(potency). Max intrinisc activity(a =1) but may differ in affinity

Partial: produce submaximal effects regardless of amt of drug given. Less intrinsic activity(0<a<1), may also differ in potency as well as affinitiy
A vs. B
C vs. D
AB vs. CD
AB: Potency
CD: Potency, Efficacy and intrinsic activity

ABvsCD:potency, efficacy, intrinsic activity
Antagonists Definition
Block action of other drugs, only observed in presence of agnost

Ex. Atropene blocks action of ACH
Antagonists Types Classic
competitive, decrease agonist potency
-->need more drug to overcome anatgonist but can still achieve max efficacy
Antagonists Types Partial
act like competitve antagonist with full agonist, partial can block full agonist as it occupies receptors in the same system
Competitve Antagnoists
shifts curve to right
1. Agonist has less affinity for R due to competition by other drug
2. Intrinsic activity unchanged-can achieve max effect with more agonist
3. increase competitve antagonist-->curve keeps shifting to right
Noncompetitive Antagonist
Curve shifts to right, shortens, maximum effect reduced, pushes curve down
1. Small Potency change
2. Changes intrinsic activity
3. Reduces effect but dose for 1/2(KD) stays the same

-->same as reducing number of receptors

similar to if you removed some receptors from the system, binds to site other than the one used by the agonist cuasing a chang ein conformation preventing binding

adding more agonist does not overcome, does NOT change binidng affinity or Potency
Allosteric Modulators
1. Alter Kd -->competitve antagonist

Look like competitive antagonist but are limited in how much they can shift to the right

2. Alter intrinsic efficacy-->noncompetitive

BUT reversible, true noncomp. is not reversible

-can do both, as well as INCREASE agonist binding/efficacy
Failure of Occupation Theory
1. 1 drug reversible binds single R
F: Asprin binds irreversbly, nictoinic R needs 2 ach to bind

2. Drug binding indp. of other drug recep interactions-usually true but not always

3. All receptors are identical and equally accesible-rarely true

F: 1. beta R different in each person
2. Desensitization; R lose ability to bind well due to conformaitonal changes
3. some Rs maybe be covered by proteins, lipids etc.

4. Only small portion of drug is bound-true almost always

5. Response is proportional to receptor binding and is time independent-false time dependent

F: 1. Receptor access-bodies have redundancy. don't need to stim all receptors to get max effect
Spare Receptor theory
1. More Rs available than needed to make max response

2. Agonist only has to bind portion of Rs for full effect(10%)

3.Competitve antagonist must block large fraction of Rs to have strong effect.(acetylzolamide needs to be 99.85 blocked to get 1/2 block of carbonic anhydrase activity)

4. Non-competitive antagonist may look like competitive antagonist

-dependent on effect. For example if agonist only needs 10% to for full effect, and a non-competitive antagonist binds 50% of them, you can still get max effect by simply adding more agonist

Explains why this may look like a compettive antag at first-->no way to tell b/w non-comp/comp unless given full information. If effect can be overcome assume competitive unless curve changes.
Stimulus Coupling System
F(tissue coupling) x e x Rt / Kd + D

efficient: don't need lots of ions to get effect

inefficient: need lots of ions to get effect
Explain
High efficient- dont need much to create effect thus not as many receptors needed to get max response-->all 3 drugs look like full agonist

linear coupling-increase in stim directly proportional to increase in response seen(occupation theory)

Inefficient-needs high stimulus for max response.

A-potency drops, but can still produce max response

B-decrease from original stimulus

c-cannot produce any response as stimulus is sub-threshold, looks like a comp. antagonist as it competes for the R

Drug can be agonist/antagonist depending on system
graph of what?
spare receptors and noncompetitive antgonism
Inverse Agonist
block effect of agonish and has opposite effect of agonist

most of the time Rs inactive w/o presence of ligand-->may be more inverse agonist that we know
Antagonist + agonist(full/partial)
Antagonist blocks effect of agonist, Ra/Ri increases
Agonist + Partial Agonist
Low-increase total effect
high-competes for receptor sites, reducing total effect of full agonist
Ex. narcotic analgesia
small-analgesia, large - partial agonist blocks effects of full agonist
Antagonist alone
-Fixes Ra/Ri ratio, block activity of both agonist and inverse agonist
Anatgonist + inverse against
Antagonist blocks effect of inverse agonist, Ri increase relative to Ra

Ri increases relative to Ra thus see an effect of absence of agonist and effect of no R

ex. valium
Receptor Indepedent drug rxns
chemically reactive agents

physically active drugs

Counterfeit biocehmical consituents
chemically reactive agents

Still have potency/dose issues!
-no receptor
ex: disinfectants, alkylating anticancer drugs

physically active: colligative properties, physical presence occupies a space not dependent on chemical properties

Ex. Mannitol-changes in oncotic pressure in blood cause stuff to re-enter blood steam, draws fluid from brain cells removing excess waste
H2O2-bubbles remove debris and killing chemically

Counterfeit biochemical constiutents

-5 bromouracil-looks like thymidine when incorporated into DNA, weakens or kills cells.
