Hydrogen Bond
Hydrogen atoms bound to nitrogen or oxygen become more positively polarized, allowing them to bond to more negatively polarized atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur

2nd strongest bond
Covalent Bonds
Two bonding atoms share electrons

Strongest bond
Ionic Bond
Atoms with an excess of electrons (imparting an overall negative charge on the atom) are attracted to atoms with a deficiency of electrons (imparting an overall positive charge on the atom)

3rd strongest bond
Van der Waals
Shifting electron density in areas of a molecule, or in a molecule as a whole, results in the generation of transient positive or negative charges - these areas interact with transient areas of opposite charge on another molecules

Weakest bond
Pharmacodynamics
What the drug does to the body
Pharmacokinetics
what the body does to the drug (bioequivalence)
Efficacy
The Emax = maximal response produced by the drug
Potency
EC50 = the concentration at which the drug elicits 50% of its maximal response
Hydrophilic
*Water-loving/water-soluble
*Polar, usually ionized
*Renal excretion
*Requires transport mechanism to cross cell membranes & BBB
*Forms H+ bonds
Hydrophobic
*Lipophilic
*Fat-loving/water insoluble
*Passively diffuses across cell membranes and BBB
* Non-polar, usually not ionized
Full Agonists
*Maximum response/cellular effect
*Causes maximal change in cellular activity of target
*Stabilizes DR*
Partial Agonist
*Partial response
*Activates receptor without maximal efficacy
*Stabilizes DR and DR*
Inverse Agonist
*Inactivates free active receptors
*Stabilizes DR in the case of R*
Competitive Antagonists
*Reduces potency but not efficacy
*Reversible binding blocks agonist at active site
* Stabilizes DR, prevents DR*
Noncompetitive Antagonists
*Irreversible binding blocks agonist at active or allosteric site
*Reduces efficacy
* Stabilizes DR, prevents DR*
ED50

Therapeutic Effect
50% patients have therapeutic effect
TD50

Toxic Dose
50% have toxicity (side effects)
LD50

Lethal Dose
50% have lethal effects
TI

Therapeutic Index
TD50/ED50

High TI = good = optimal
Low TI = small window = hard to manage
pKa
pH at which 50% of the drug is ionized
Pharmacokinetics: Absorption
GI Tract/Parenteral/Skin/Membranes

How quickly can it leave GI tract
Bioavailability reaches & how much gets
Pharmacokinetics: Distribution
Blood/Target Tissue

Vd effected: drugs with a low volume of distribution may be highly protein bound
Pharmacokinetics: Metabolism
Liver/Tissue/Blood/CYP450 enzymes

Affected by substrate, inhibitor, inducer
Pharmacokinetics: Excretion/Elimination
Kidney/lungs/fecal
Low Vd
Retained in Vascular compartment
High Vd
Highly distributed into non-vascular compartments
Vd
= Dose/[drug] plasma

volume of fluid required to contain the total amount of drug absorbed in the body at uniform concentrations equal to that in the plasma steady state
Pharmacokinetics
True:
*Nonionized, lipophilic drugs favored for oral absorption
*Weak acids are best absorbed in the stomach
*Weak bases are best absorbed by the small intestine
Protein Binding
*Drugs must be free (non-protein bound) in order to reach its site of action and be metabolized and eliminated
*Drugs with a LOW Vd may be highly protein bound and more likely to remain in the plasma compartment
Metabolism: Phase 1

CYP450 Induction
Increase transcription with translation
Decrease degradation
Induction by another drug or autoinduction
Metabolism: Phase 1

CYP450 Inhibition
Incidental or deliberate
Competitive inhibition
Irreversible inhibition
Drug Toxcities
Intended Tissue - have an intended receptor ("On-Target" adverse effects) and an unintended receptor ("Off-Target" adverse effects)

Unintended Tissue - also have an intended receptor ("On-Target" adverse effects) and an unintended receptor ("Off-Target" adverse effects)
