Agonist
binds receptor and actively changes concentration of intracellular receptors
Antagonist
bind receptor and passively change concentration of intracellular messengers.
passive because they can block the ongoing stimulation of a receptor by another compound.
Ligand-gated ion channel
agonist opens aqueous ion channel
ex- GABA mediated Cl- channel
voltage-sensitive ion channel
membrane depolarization opens aqueous ion channel
ex- Na+ channels in heart and neurons
GPCR
receptors linked to G-proteins that activate or inhibit enzymes or ion channels when activated
increased Na+ conductance
rapid depolarization
increased K+ conductance
hyperpolarizes membrane
therefore, decreased K+ conductance decreases membrane potential difference, easier to fire AP
increased Cl- conductance
hyperpolarizes membrane
Increased Ca++ conductance
slow depolarization
nicotinic receptor
responds to ACh, opens Na+ channel
N1 receptor
responds to ACh at sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia
increases Na+ conductance- depolarization
N2 receptor
responds to ACh at NMJ
increases Na+ conductance- depolarization
Inhibitory amino acids
increase Cl- conductance, hyperpolarize cell
GABA
glycine
GABA-a receptor stimulation enhanced by
benzos, barbiturates, volatile anesthetic gases, propofol, ethanol
even greater increase in Cl- conductance
Excitatory amino acids
increase Na/Ca conductance, depolarize cell
glutamate
aspartate
Serotonin increases...
Na+ conductance via 5-HT3 receptor
adrendoreceptors
alpha 1 & 2, beta 1 & 2
GPCR
serotonin receptors
5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT4
GPCR
Muscarinic cholinergic receptors
M1, M2, M3, M4
GPCR
GPCR other than adrenoreceptors, serotonin receptors, and muscarinic chonlinergic
GABA-b, V1 & V2, H1 & H2, ACPD gluatmate receptors
GABA-a receptor increases Cl- ion conductance, GABA-b is a GPCR
B-adrenoreceptors
activates G protein -- activates adenyl cylcase -- cAMP- cAMP dependent kinases
cAMP is degraded by
PDEase -- 5'AMP, inhibited by
theophylline, caffeine, papverine
Many GPCRs active....
IP3-DAG to cause smooth muscle contraction and glandular secretion
lipid-soluble compounds can...
freely cross cell membrane, effects are slow because they usually alter transcription, examples:
estrogen, adnrogens, thyroxine
Phospholipase C
releases IP3 & DAG from PIP-2.
IP3 releases Ca from SR
DAG activates phosphokinase C's
Phospholipase A2
releases arachidonic acid from cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid esters
In general, drugs...
alter the rate of ongoing biochemical processes in the body
increased membrane potential difference...
cell is hyperpolarized
decreased membrane potential differnce
cell is depolarized (not necessarily at threshold)
ions that can depolarize cells
Na+, Ca ++
Na is faster than Ca
increased cAMP causes...
signal amplification
albuterol
b-2 receptor selective agonist, bronchodilation. Works in a few minutes.
Affinity
ability of a drug to form a stable complex with a receptor

1/Kd
Small Kd=high affinity
Large Kd=low affinity
Intrinsic activity
biological effectiveness of a drug receptor concept
Competitive antagonism
slope of dose response curve stays the same, requires more agonist to get the same response
Noncompetitive antagonism
slope and maximum effect decreases
bind covalently, so receptor is permanently blocked
partial agonist as an antagonist
decreases response if a full agonist is around because partial agonist occupies receptor and cannot elicit full response
Tolerance, dose-response curve
Curve shifts to the right
pharmacokinetic tolerance
when one drug induces the metabolism of another drug
pharmacodynamic tolerance
when the tissue response decreases
EtOH can cause pharmacodynamic tolerance
cross-tolerance
tolerance to one drug from prior exposure that results in tolerance in another drug
ex- heavy drinker responds less to benzos
receptor upregulation
too little signal from: denervation, receptor blockade, decreased neurotransmitter release
Efficacy
maximal clinical effect on dose-response curve
more efficacious=greater clinical effect
Potency
the dose of drug required to achieve a certain clinical effect

smaller the effective dose, the more potent
when potency increases, dose-response curve shifts to the left
therapeutic index
LD50/ED50
Cpo= (Xo x F)/Vd
Estimated plasma concentration of a dose (Xo) at time zero
Vd = (Xo x F) / Cpo
Volume of distribution can be determined if you know the dose, bioavailability, and plasma concentration
Vd
Volume of distribution (L)
elimination rate constant, k
k=0.7 / t1/2
Clearance
Cl= rate out / Cp
rate out =
Cu X Uvol/t
Rule of 4's
It takes 4 half lives for a drug to reach steady-state concentration
Steady State
rate in = rate out
Rate in for IV dose
Xo / t
Rate in for po dose
(Xo x F) / t
Pulse pressure
SBP-DBP, the pressure created by one beat
Windkessel function
stretching of large arteries during systole, return to normal during diastole
TPR determined by
arterioles (4th/5th order)
LV- End Diastolic Volume determined by
blood volume
blood distribution
venous capacitance
atrial contractility
Major determinant of stroke volume
Venous Return
Frank-Starling Law
The heart pumps what it gets, venous return is the most important determinant of stroke volume
Cardiac output is primarily determined by
Stroke Volume (mostly depends on venous return!)
Afterload
arterial impedence, TPR, DBP
Carotid Baroreflex
when BP decreases, CBR causes an increase in sympathetics and decrease in vagal activity
increased heart rate and pressure
Carotid Baroreflex, pressure increase
decrease in efferent sympathetics, increase in vagal efferent activity
decreased heart rate and pressure
Carotid Baroreflex mediated tachycardia
drop in pressure results in tachycardia because CBR stimulates sympathetic efferents and decreases vagal efferents
Decreased stimulation of B-1 in heart....
decreases HR, CO falls
but not by much! HR is not a major determinant of CO
Decreased stimulation of A-1 in resistance arterioles...
passive vasodilation, decrease in DBP
Decreased stimulation of A-1 in veins causes
passive vasodilation which reduces venous return and therefore cardiac output because the veins can hold more volume

decrease in atrial contractility
slight decrease in ventricular contractility
Stimulating A-2 receptors in the RVLM...
