Term
Define and describe on graph:

Potency
----------------------
Efficacy
Definition
1) the size of the dose nec to produce a certain effect
often defined by ED(50) - the EFFECTIVE DOSE tat results in 50% maximal effect

***Potency is the first slope to rise off the graph
-----------------------------------
the maximal effect obtained by the drug

HIGHEST value on graph
Term
If a graph has A rise at a lover dose, but B rise higher, describe the EFFICACY and POTENCY
Definition
A has greater potency, but B has greater EFFICACY
Term
What is importaint to remember when looking @ a graph:
X = DOSE
Y = Responce
Definition
that we can judge POTENCY (fist to arrise at lower dose)

BUT

CANNOT judge Efficacy
here, the "efficacy" refers to percentage of individuals who respond to drug

K(1) K(2)

What is another term for k(2)?
Definition
Efficacy
Term

Definition
ePINEPHRINE AND bETA ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR
Term
Trace the pathway of Epinephrine binding
Definition
Epi binds Beta Adrenergic Receptor
G protein
Adenylyl Cyclase
CAMP (Cyclic Amp)

CAMP activates PHOSPHORELATION OF PROTEiNS

Thesphosphorelates quiescent calcium channel, allowing membrane depolarization

Therefore, more Ca enters cell, and SARCOMERE sees more Ca --> GREATER CONTRATION of heart musc
Term
Full agonists and partial agonists differ in ____
Definition
efficacy

They may or may NOT differ in potency
Term
______ is a drug that produces a ceiling effect NOT exceeded by other similar drugs
Definition
FULL AGONIST

drugs whose maximal effects are less, regardless of dose, are called partial agonists
Term
Functional drug interactions with at TWO STATE RECEPTOR (active and inactive state):

1) NO preference for states
2) Extreme preference for active state
3)relative preference for active states
4)preference for INACTIVE STATE
Definition
1)Inactive compound (often a functional antagonist)
2) Full Agonist
3)Partial Agonist
4) Inverse Agonist (Functionally significant only if the receptor has INHERENT ACTIVITY)
Term
T/F - Do drugs create denovo physiological effects?
Definition
NO -- they merely modify underlying processes
Term

MAJOR RECEPTOR FAMILIES:

 

1 Cholinergic nicotinic receptors and GABA

2 A and B Adenergic Receptors

3 Insulin Recetor

4 Steroid Recptor

Term
T/F: A competitive ANTAGONIST increases the ED(50)
Definition
True! in the presence of a compet. antagonist, a higher conc of drug is req to elicit a given responce.
Term
Variation in the sensitivity of a pop of individuals to increasing doses of a drug is best dtrmined by :
Definition
Quantal dose-response curves:
Term
____ = a measure of a drugs safety

A large value indicates that these is a wide margin between doses that are effective and doses that are toxic.
Definition
therapeutic index
Term
what is the significance of SPARE RECEPTORS?
Definition
More receptors are present that are required for maximal resp.

This decreases the conc of agonist req for full effect

a single drug receptor interaction results in many cellular response elements being activated


***Noncompetitive antagoinsists can behaive like competative antagoinists with spare receptors
Term
name a competitive antagoinist for epinephrine
Definition
propranolol
Term
____ can be overcome by increasing the agonist

while

_____ ALWAYS decreases the maximal resp.
Definition
Competitive antagonist

Nonocompetative antagoinist
Term
give an example of IRREVERSIBLE BINDING of a competitive antagonist

explain mech
Definition
Aspirin inhib of cyclo-oxygenase

blocks formation of PROSTOGLANDIN from Arach Acid

Req new synth of protein to overcome

Imp for using aspirin to prevent MI
Term
t/f:
Noncomp. antagonists can behaive like comp. antag with spare receptors
Definition
TRUE
Term
Formula for therapeutic index:
Definition
lethal dose 50 / effective dose 50

higher number = safer
Term
In a dose percentage curve, EFFICACY ______
Definition
is replaced by the maximum percent of patients responding to the drug
Term
Potency is DETERMINED in part by ______
Definition
the affinity of the receptor for the drug
Term
formula for therapeutic index:
Definition
LD(50) / ED (50)
Term
List three drug mechanisms not involving a drug receptor

MANNITOL - increases osmolarity of body fluids

Nucleotide analogs that are inc. into DNA
Term
_____ = special class of proteins whose role is to receive signals from other cells or to sense the outside environment of the cell
Definition
physiological receptor
Term
List 3 edx of PANCRINE hormones
Definition

Angiotensin II

 

Somatostatin

 

Prostoglandin

Term
** this mechanism has an extracellular Receptor with Intracellular Enzymatic Activity.

It has IMMEDIATE response time, but longer term effects
Definition
Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

common mech of hormones that reg growth and differentiation.
Term

difference between:

***********************

Nicotinic   and     Muscarinic

Definition

* Muscarinic receptors are o found at the:

 

  post-ganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system, and o on many neurons in the brain (e.g. the ventral tegmental area).

Glands. Bladder.  Ciliary Muscle (relax)

 

G Protein

 

muscarine (a toxin produced by certain mushrooms) is an agonist. o atropine is an antagonist (hence its use in acetylcholinesterase poisoning)


==================================

 

 

* Nicotinic receptors are o found at the neuromuscular junctions of cardiac and smooth muscle as well as on o

 

-the post-ganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system.

 

 

 Ion Channel activated

 

-nicotine is an agonist (hence the name) 

-curare is an antagonist (hence its ability to paralyze skeletal muscles)

 

Term
Talk about inactivation of Norepinephrine, once released from synaptic vesicles by depolarization of an action potential:

2 PARTS***

MAO in mitochondria and COMT (in Cytoplasm) have MINOR roles in inactivation of NE

an Active TP system rapidly reuptakes Norepi back into the nerve terminal
**major mech for the inactivation of norepi transmitter takes place at adrenergic neuroeffector unctions
Term
talk @ MAO and COMT's role in NOREPI in nerve terminals
Definition
MAO - Mitochondria
***Norepi that leaks out of vesicle is inactivated by MAO***
COMT - Cytoplasm of effector cells, liver, and kidney

Both have minor role in inactivating NE release from nerve ending by exocytosis

ACH release at the neuroeffector junction is inactivated primarily by:
Definition
degredation of ACH

Acetylcholinesterase cleaves ACH to choline and acetate in synaptic cleft

Term

Muscarinic Receptor :

 

?Where?

Describe the subtypes:

Definition
M1,3,5 are cellular EXCITATION M2,4 INHIBIT EXCITATION Post gang parasympathetic
Term

What is ACH affect on heart and BV if injected? ** what drug inhibits this affect on BV?**

 

 

 

** what is another drug that counteracts the Nicotinic effects of poison gas?**

Definition

Leads to a temporary DECREASE in heart rate and stroke volume, Mimics the VAGAL STIMULATION which uses ach Also causes VASODIALATION, lowering BP this is caused by inc. in intracell CA+

 

**ATROPINE blocks muscarinic receptors**

Counteracts the effect of deficient ACH Cholinesterase, which result in an increase of ACH in nerve terminals, leading to too much muscarinic (Parasympathetic) activation

 

 

 

Pralidoxine --

Helps at NICOTINIC SITES

 

Promotes reactivation of ACH cholinesterase that has been phosphorylated-- 

Helps alieviate nueromusc junct

--must be administered soon after poisoning!!!!
