Drug reactions to correctly prescribed medications kill how many in US/year?
100K
6th most common cause of death
Prescription errors kill how many in US/yr
1.5 million
Concerns with Herbal Meds
Contaminents
Components that interact with other drugs
Do drugs create physiologic effects?
No, they modulate them.
All drugs require?
A receptor
Drugs are ligands for the receptors
Describe types of drug receptors
Physiologic receptors (ones acted on by hormones, neurotransmitters, etc)

Non-physiologic: enzymes, structural proteins, transport protein, nucleic acids
Receptor specificity
Ligand

Process initiated by ligand binding
Agonist
Ligands that interact with a receptor and initiate a response
Antagonists
Occupy a receptor site but either do not initiate a response or inhibit the normal response
GR
Steriod receptor in nuclear receptor superfamily
GC hormones (and similar substances) are agonists that result in nuclear translocation of GR and transcriptional activation of hormone sensitive genes
Physioogic drug receptor mechanisms
5
1. Transactivation (steriod receptor)
2. Ligand binding activates enzymatic intracellular domain (kinase)
3. Ligand binding activates coupled intracellular partner's enzymatic activity
4. Ligand binding opens ionic channel
Drug receptor chemical interactions

Decrease w/ distance (VDW to 7th power)

Covalent interactions -- some antagonists with irreversible effect

Drugs are not usually charged
Drug-receptor association and dissociation
Better the pocket fit the more stable the complex

[drug]
[receptor]
drug-receptor affinity
Magnitude of response is a fnc of
Number of drug-receptor complexes
Dose-response concept
Degree of response is a fnc of the amount of drug administered to organism
Quantal dose response curve
All or none phenomenon
S-shaped curve for cumulative, gaussian distribution for incremental

Response in % linear vs log of dose

Give information about the population--not individual
ED-50
Dose at which 50% of population responds
LD-50
Dose at which 50% of the population treated dies
Probit
Plotting dose-response data on a straight line
Easier to see ED50 and LD50
Grade or continual dose response curves
Individual response to increases doses of drug
Typically results in a sigmoidal log-linear
Only informs about individual, although shapes of the curves are usually the same (receptor interactions)
Primary effect
desired affect of therapeutic value
Side effects or undesired effects
non-target effects, not necessarily bad
Toxic effects
always bad
Components of dose
Amount
Duration and frequency
Chemical form
Physical Form
Route
Relationships between therapeutic and toxic effects of drugs
1. Single receptor, signal effector pathway leading to desired and undesired effects (difficult to separate)
2. Single receptor, multiple effector pathways (block toxic pathway downstream)
3. Two receptors (block toxic pathway or design new drug that is more specific)
OTC efficacy requirements
Dose must be effective in 99% of people with no harm
Degree of safety of a drug is determined by?
Separation between therapeutic and toxic effects

Ideally max effective dose would be lower than beginning of lethal curve
Therapeutic index (TI)
LD50/ED50
Should be greater than 1, bigger is better, ideally greater than 10

Does not tell you if the curves overlap
