Term

T/F

Drugs give us the ability to modulate and create new functions

Definition

False

we can only modulate NOT create

Term
An immune cell is an example of ______ in that it secretes something which binds to its own receptor
Definition
autocrine cell
Term
A cell that releases histamines is an example of ______ in that what it secretes binds to a receptor in the immediate vacinity
Definition
Paracrine cell
Term
Endocrine cells require its secretory portions to be ____
Definition
transfered faw away
Term
_____is an example of how platelets aggregate together. (One cell has a tethered ligand)
Definition
Cell to Cell communication
Term

Which type of signal would generate a fast response?

a) endocrine

b)paracrine

c) synapse

d)autocrine

Definition

Paracrine

short loop synapses

autocrine

Term
Transduction is signaling from _____to_____
Definition
outside the cell to inside the cell
Term
What characteristics must a molecule have to be a ligand for an intracellular receptor?
Definition
Lipophilic
Term
How do hydrophilic molecules get their signals inside the cell?
Definition
through surface cell receptors
Term

___ receptors can detach and transport molecules

___ receptors move partially through the membrane

___receptors may act as 2nd messengers

Definition

Peripheral

Integral

Transmembrane

 

See pg 6

Term

T/F

Drugs that are similar in structure may bind to receptors

Definition
TRUE
Term

T/F

Antagonist occupy the receptor and decreases its response

Definition
FALSE
get NO response
Term

T/F

There are drugs that can bind to many different receptors

Definition

TRUE

ex Dopamine and Norepi

Term

T/F

all drugs that have therapuetic activity must bind

Definition

TRUE

they must bind but not necessarily give a response

Term

[image]

 

Which has the greatest affinity?

Definition

The first line (-8)

(it takes the smallest [agonist] to give a response)

Term

[image]

 

Which line is the partial agonist?

Definition

The second line (-7)

 

It does not give a maximum response aka doesnt reach 100%

Term

[image]

 

What would an antagonist look like on this graph?

Definition
A straight horizontal line at 0 meaning no response
Term

[image]

Which line is the full agonist?

Definition

The 1st (-8) and 3rd (-5) lines

(they reach maximum response)

Term

A partial agonist has____affinity and ____intrinsic activity

 

Definition

Full affinity and partial intrsinsic activity

(will bind to receptor bu intiate <100% response)

Term
An Antagonist has___affinity and ___intrinsic activity
Definition

full affinity and NO intrinsic activity

(will bind but no response)

Term

Explain Inverse Agonism in terms of the ligangs

(Clue: Basal activity)

Definition

When no ligand is bound there is basal activity

when an INVERSE AGONIST binds there is <basal activity

When a FULL AGONIST binds the response is >basal activity

Term

T/F

alpha 2 receptors can exhibit inverse agonism

Definition

TRUE

there is always some degree of contraction in our blood vessels (basal activity). We have ligands that can decrease or increase this contraction once bound

Term

α or β

Increases force of contraction of heart

Constricts blood vessels

Dilates blood vessels

Increase Rate of contraction of heart

Definition

Increases force of contraction of heart-β

Constricts blood vessels-α

Dilates blood vessels-α

Increase Rate of contraction of heart-β

Term

What is the result?

Administer Phenylephrine (α agonist)

Definition
Increase in BP
Term

What is the result?

Administer Epinephrine (α and β agonist)

Definition
Increased BP and Inc rate and force of contraction
Term

What is the result?

Administer Isoproterenol (β agonist)

Definition
Increase force of contraction and rate
Term

What is the effect?

Administer Phentolamine (α antagonist)

Definition

No effect on its own so will see relatively no change in BP

It only PREVENTS agonist activity

Term

What is the result?

 

Epi (α & β agonist)  first then Propanolol (β antagonist)

Definition

Increased BP, force and rate of contraction

(antagonist will only work is it is administered first)
