  7. Pharmacodynamics

  8. Drugs: • Chemical agents that interact with components of a biological system to alter the organism’s function. Examples of such components, sites of drug action, are enzymes, ion channels, neurotransmitter transport systems, nucleic acids and receptors. Many drugs act by mimicking or inhibiting the interactions of endogenous mediators with their receptors

  9. Receptors: • Regulatory proteins that interact with drugs or hormones and initiate a cellular response • Ion channels • G-protein coupled receptors • Receptor-enzymes • Cytosolic-nuclear receptors • Act as transducer proteins • Receptor-effector signal transduction • Post-receptor signal transduction provides for amplification of the signal

  10. Ligand-gated Ion Channels

  11. G-protein coupled receptors α β γ

  12. G-protein coupled receptors α β γ Membrane

  14. Receptor-enzyme Binding site Catalytic site

  15. Cytosolic-Nuclear receptors

  16. Classical Receptor Occupancy Theory Ka L+R LRStimulus Response Kd L: Ligand (Drug) R: Receptor LR: Ligand-Receptor Complex Ka: Association rate constant Stimulus: initial effect of drug on receptor

  17. Properties of drugs • Affinity: The chemical forces that cause the drug to associate with the receptor. • Efficacy: The extent of functional change imparted to a receptor upon binding of a drug.

  18. Properties of a biological system • Potency: Dose of drug necessary to produce a specified effect. • Dependent upon receptor density, efficiency of the stimulus-response mechanism, affinity and efficacy. • Magnitude of effect: Asymptotic maximal response • Solely dependent upon intrinsic efficacy. • Also called efficacy.

  19. Determinants of Response • Intrinsic Efficacy (ε): Power of a drug to induce a response. • Number of receptors in the target tissue.

  20. Spare receptors • Some tissues have more receptors than are necessary to produce a maximal response. • Dependent on tissue, measure of response and intrinsic efficacy of the drug.

  21. Active vs Inactive states • Active states initiate cell signaling. • For any cell, there is an equilibrium between active an inactive states. The inactive state usually predominates. • Each state has its own affinity.

  22. Classification of a drug based on drug-receptor interactions: • Agonist: Drug that binds to receptors and initiates a cellular response; has affinity and efficacy. Agonists promote the active state. • Antagonist: drug that binds to receptors but cannot initiate a cellular response, but prevent agonists from producing a response; affinity, but no efficacy. Antagonists maintain the active-inactive equilibrium.

  23. cont. • Partial agonists: Drug that, no matter how high the dose, cannot produce a full response. • Inverse agonist: Drug that binds to a receptor to produce an effect opposite that of an agonist. Stabilizes receptors in the inactive state.

  24. Graded dose-response curves • Individual responses to varying doses • Concepts to remember: • Threshold: Dose that produces a just-noticeable effect. • ED50: Dose that produces a 50% of maximum response. • Ceiling: Lowest dose that produces a maximal effect.

  35. Full vs Partial agonists % Effect Dose

  36. Full vs Partial agonists • These terms are tissue dependent on • Receptor density • Cell signaling apparatus • Other receptors that are present • Drug history • Partial agonists have both agonist and antagonist properties.

  41. Relative Efficacy

  42. Antagonists • Competitive: Antagonist binds to same site as agonist in a reversible manner. • Noncompetitive: Antagonist binds to the same site as agonist irreversibly. • Allosteric: Antagonist and agonist bind to different site on same receptor • Physiologic: Two drugs have opposite effects through differing mechanisms

  43. = Agonist = Antagonist

  44. = Agonist = Antagonist

  45. = Agonist = Antagonist

  46. = Agonist = Antagonist

  47. = Agonist = Antagonist

  48. = Agonist = Antagonist
