DRUG ANTAGONISM DR. SHABANA ALI
DRUG ANTAGONISM One drug or inhibits action of anotherdrug Types of Antagonism • Physical antagonism • Chemical antagonism • Physiological/functional antagonism • Pharmacological antagonism
A) Physical Antagonism • Based on physical property of drugs, e.g. charcoal (adsorb alkaloid) in alkaloidal poisoning B) Chemical Antagonism • Chemical reaction between two drugs • e.g., NaHCO3 HCl
C) Physiological/Functional Antagonism Opposite effects of two drugs on same function • Two drugs act on two diff. types of receptors & antagonize action of each other, e.g. histamine & adrenaline (adrenaline for treatment of anaphylactic shock); Ad & insulin on blood sugar level
D) Pharmacological Antagonism • Opposite effect of two drugs binding to same receptors • Receptor antagonism is specific,e.g. atropine spam of intestine by acetylcholine not by Hist.or 5-HT Types Competitive Non-competitive Equilibrium Non-equilibrium (Reversible) (Irreversible)
i) Competitive Antagonism (equilibrium or reversible) Competition between agonist & antagonist for specific site or receptor • Action of agonist is blocked if conc. of antagonist is • Antagonism can be overcome (surmount) by conc. of agonist Cont.
Agonist can produce max.response in higher conc. • Competitive antagonist shifts log Dose-response curve of agonist to right • EC50 of agonist in presence of antagonist, e.g., Ach & atropine; Ad & Prop.; Morphine & naloxone
II) Non-Equilibrium(irreversible) Antagonist • Antagonist binds to receptor with covalent bond • Irreversible blocking • Antagonist shifts DRC to right+ max. response, e.g. adrenaline & phenoxybenzamine
iii) Non-competitive (non-surmountable Antagonist • Antagonist binds to another site of receptor • DRC is flattened + max. response is • e.g., verapamil (noradrenaline)
