Concept of Receptor
Some drugs do not require a receptor for their effect:
e.g.
antacid: - changes pH of stomach
aspirin: - forms covalent bond with enzyme
kaolin: - adsorbs toxin in the gastrointestinal tract
Concept of Receptor
Many drugs work by first binding to a receptorā€¦.

Drug Molecules
Langley 1878:
ā€˜Drug binds to a receptive substance on the cellā€™
(drugs must first bind to a receptor to produce their
action)

Pharmacodynamics for Medical Students Part 1/3 by Dr. WIlliam K Lim

Editor's Notes

  1. 2013 contd good feedback as lecturer, mention during lect which curve get which data, in revision class show all wrong interpretation cos cannot get Kd from response curve etc. Made EOB SEQ on which drug higher affinity from this curve (its response curve) and which more potent/effic- 121 students- max 15 marks, 7 got either 1 or 0 mark. Only 4 (3.3% of students) got 12 marks or more (able to say this curve cannot get affinity info: Yap Wen Nee, viviene jane, dylan harry, chai chang xian. Ave mark 5.4 (fail) 2013 45 min. no interaction, just give analogies- affinity for food, students bump into chairs, sit and stand. One asked is dose response related to michaelis menten enzyme kinetics- reaction rate v increases with substrate conc. Max is vmax, and substate conc for half Vmax is Km. http://medicaltextbooksrevealed.s3.amazonaws.com/files/11189-53.pdf ā€˜The same mathematical relationships that define how a drug (ligand) interacts with a receptor to elicit or diminish a biological response also governs the ways in which substrates (ligands) interact with enzymes to generate metabolic end products. In fact, the terms KD and Emax (ceiling effect) can easily be redefined as Km and Vmax, which you recall from Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics.ā€™ ā€˜Dose ā€“ response curves and enzyme kinetics. These are the same. The familiar dose-response curves are based on the Michaelis ā€“ Menten model of enzyme substrate interactionā€™. http://www.frca.co.uk/article.aspx?articleid=101185. a dose response curve can obey first order Hill equation (Hill coefficient = 1) A first-order Hill function (means no cooperativity- binding of ligands are independent of each otherā€™s binding) is sometimes called a Michaelis-Menten function). ā€˜The fact that dose-response curves varied so much made pharmacology different from biochemistry. The concentration of a drug which produced a half-maximum response from a tissue, EC50, was not constant: with powerful agonists a maximum response was produced from the activation of only a small proportion of receptors.ā€˜http://www.pa2online.org/articles/?volume=1&issue=2. ā€˜So the dissociation constant is a measure of the affinity of the drug for its receptor, just like the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) is a measure of the affinity of a substrate for its enzyme. At equilibrium, the reaction can also be expressed by this equation which takes the same form as the Michaelis-Menten equation. ā€˜Drug concentration- effect relationship can be described by: 1) Michaelis-Menten equation for enzyme-substrate reactionā€™. So far can say if based on single site and no cooperative binding then dose response curve is similar to michelis menten where velocity become effect and EC50 is Km. End lect can use class name list to read out names of 4 students to ask them define at next class what is potency, efficacy, agonist and antag. A receptor can be any cellular macromolecule to which a drug binds to initiate its effect. Cellular proteins that are receptors for endogenous regulatory ligands (hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters) are the most important drug receptors. Other receptors include enzymes (e.g., acetylcholinesterase), transport proteins (e.g., Na+,K+-ATPase), structural proteins (e.g., tubulin), and nucleic acids. When the relationship between receptor occupancy and response is linear, KD = EC50. If there is amplification between receptor occupancy and effect, such as if the receptor has catalytic activity when the receptor ligand is bound, then the EC50 lies to the left of the KD. 2012 50 min. student ask can binding curve also do semi log, and is binding curve same shape as response curve.- yes binding curve in log appear in lecture 2, will inform students there. In 3rd lect can give eg of real binding and response curve from journals, see same shape. 2011 had question why log scale is 1,10,100, 1000 ā€“ does log make scale increase very fast (aside from initial one to 3 is sparser and 3 to 10 is compressed)? (yes it increase exponential not arithmetical) And we say is log scale but never need to get antilog, just read off, though axis is officially log? (yes cos never took log, just plot on a scale with different intervals) From the questions in ā€˜what else I want to knowā€™ slips, some wonder how the binding/response expt is done so I put the binding expt pictorial in formative assessment 2010 45 min. supported by hard copy notes. if at end want to emphasise the impt of differentiate binding and effect curve then before show summary, show the diagram of drugs near the receptor with effect- put a dividing line and say again there are 2 different expt, 2 different part of the process, and first thing when see graph is ask what curve, then can know what info can get. Then I got 4 students to each read up on potency, effic, agonist and antag. Concept of receptor and how to analyse D-R binding How the drug at site of action produces an effect: receptor bind, quantitative analysis for comparing different drugs
  2. Concept of receptor and how to analyse D-R binding Note kinetic still occur after work at site, but it does mean dynamic cannot occur until drug arrive at site of action How the drug at site of action produces an effect: receptor bind, quantitative analysis for comparing different drugs
  3. Take a drug not just to metab and excrete it but cos you want it to act on body.
  4. Take a drug not just to metab and excrete it but cos you want it to act on body.
  5. Inhib cyclooxegenase which convert AA to PG, TX and Prostacyclin
  6. Before showing the main types of receptor, would be clearer to explain that in general drug bind receptor which then activate downstream signals to amplify and generate the effect.
  7. Before showing the main types of receptor, would be clearer to explain that in general drug bind receptor which then activate downstream signals to amplify and generate the effect. Not just stand at door, come in, start the action
  8. Receptors are types of doors, once activated, action starts receptor for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) ā€“ receptor tyr kinase ifn= interferon receptor- class II cytokine receptor family. The Janus (JAK) family tyrosine kinases Tyk2 and Jak1 are constitutively associated with the IFNAR1 and IFNAR2c receptor subunits, respectively. Ligand binding results in the phosphorylation and activation of Tyk2 and Jak1 Tnf receptor- TNF is a cytokine which may induce either cell proliferation or apoptosis. TNF binds TNF Receptors (TNFRs), which are members of a superfamily of proteins known as Death Receptors, resulting in receptor aggregation and recruitment of adapters (i.e., TRAF [TNF Receptor-Associated Factor] proteins) TNFR complex formation activates Caspase 8, the SAP Kinase pathway (dependent on recruitment of Daxx), and the NFĪŗB pathway (which controls apoptosis versus proliferation).
  9. Nicotinic cholinergic receptor - Composed of 5 peptide subunits: 2Ī±, 1Ī², 1Ī³, 1Ī“ Receptor on muscle fibre eg respiratory muscles- how does it contract. Nerve release NT bind to receptor.
  10. The two binding sites for AcCho are nonidentical and can be distinguished by differential binding of some competitive antagonists. In particular, d-tubocurarine (TC) binds with dissociation constants that differ by -100-fold
  11. May need show more cascade and recoupling, else some wonder what is G doing

  14. Affinity is bind with tenacity
  15. Like all stand and move, but eyes close, move quietly so have random collisions.
  16. randomly meet at party but after talk, can dissociate and meet others
  17. there are some binding and others unbinding- so arrow in 2 direction, at equib, rate is equal. at any moment, some (not all) are bound At first more DR formed. Later, more DR dissociate. At equib, rate is same. Rate of nos sitting down is same as nos standing up from sitting. Illus; 10am shopping centre open and number of people inside increases. Till 11am there is 100 inside though 30 enter from 11-12 yet only 100 total inside- cos 30 also leave- equib. But no matter how many inside (30, 50 then 100, majority are at one shop, the most popular one (MPH book, Guess jeans, CD,DVD, Nike shoes) then customer has highest affinity for that store. Lower affinity for other store and no affinity for certain store. Collide = all move blindfold and no noise Case of where nos of people of shopping centre the same though new one go in, cos some go out, and more will be at fav store- higher affinity

  35. Kd = EC50 if there is 1:1 relationship bet binding and effect. Usually: full effect with less than full binding- effect is left shifted. or ED50 Notice Y axis is effect, not binding. Can be any effect measured eg heartbeat, muscle contraction, speed of running, cellular: release of calcium, etc

  40. In clinical use of drug we donā€™t give patient one range, only one dose. We give range in pharmacol expt to see the property of the drug. If give more drug will not increase response cos every system has a max, like you cannot increase HR to 1 million beat per min, and cannot make car go faster when at max speed by putting more petrol (need to change engine). Does not mean higher affinity drug give more response- affinity is binding, response is how you change shape of receptor after bind. Kd = EC50 if there is 1:1 relationship bet binding and effect. Usually: full effect with less than full binding- effect is left shifted. or ED50 Notice Y axis is effect, not binding. Can be any effect measured eg heartbeat, muscle contraction, speed of running, cellular: release of calcium, etc
  41. Kd = EC50 if there is 1:1 relationship bet binding and effect. Usually: full effect with less than full binding- effect is left shifted. Most-seen graph in pharmacology? (DE or dose response curve). Can you tell the Kd ? No!! or ED50 Notice Y axis is effect, not binding. Can be any effect measured eg heartbeat, muscle contraction, speed of running, cellular: release of calcium, etc Now effect- not binding (lab science)- in ward interested in effect, so from here canā€™t tell Kd or affinity.

I like to call dose
  45. Most useful graph to compare different drugs. Most impt graph type in pharmacology. Dose is on log scale. Just plot on this scale give you log value, no need take log and antilog. Scale is log: see the exponential increase. Name of shape: sigmoidal not rect hyperbola
