RECEPTOR:
• Any target molecule
with which a drug
molecule has to combine
in order to elicit its
specific effect
• A major group of drug
receptors consists of
proteins that normally
serve as receptors for
endogenous regulatory
ligands.
Type 1: ligand-gated
ion channels
Type 2: G-protein-
coupled receptors
Type 3: receptor
kinases
Type 4: nuclear
receptors

• Humans express over 800 GPCRs that make up the third largest
family of genes in humans.
• Majority of these are involved in sensory perception and the
remaining receptors regulate various physiological functions
including nerve activity, tension of smooth muscle, metabolism,
rate and force of cardiac contraction, and the glandular secretion.
• GPCRs are the targets for many drugs; perhaps half of all non-
antibiotic prescription drugs act at these receptors.

G protein gated Ion Channels
• G-protein-coupled receptors
can control ion channel
function directly.
(A) Typically, the activated
effector protein begins a
signaling cascade which
leads to the eventual
opening of the ion channel.
(B) The GTP-bound α-subunit in
some cases can directly
activate the ion channel.
(C) In other cases, the activated
βγ-complex of the G protein
may interact with the ion
channel.

Often, the effect of a drug gradually diminishes when
it is given continuously or repeatedly
• change in receptors
• translocation of receptors
• exhaustion of mediators
• increased metabolic degradation of the drug
• physiological adaptation
• active extrusion of drug from cells
Rang et al: Rang & Dale’s Pharmacology 7e
Recent advances
Orphan GPCRs
• 200 or so known GPCRs whose endogenous ligands and
functions are not known
• Attempts have been made to deorphanise these
receptors
• Evidence that some recently deorphanised GPCRs, such
as orexin receptor, may dimerise or associate with more
classical GPCRs
British Journal of Pharmacology (2008) 153 S339–S346
GPCR mutations, disease and
novel drug discovery
• Loss of function mutations in GPCRs involved in the control of
endocrine systems
• Gain of function mutations in GPCRs also cause disease
• Mutations in GPCRs could be responsible for variations in drug
sensitivities among different populations

Editor's Notes

  • #16 βγ-mediated effects occur at higher levels of receptor occupancy than α-mediated effects otherwise the action of it is same to alpha
  • #19 These varied effects are, however, all brought about by a common mechanism, namely the activation of protein kinases by cAMP. Protein kinases regulate the function of many different cellular proteins by controlling protein phosphorylation
  • #23 An intracellular enzyme play an imp. Role in signal transduction participate in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphonate(PIP2) and lipid signaling in a calcium dependent manner.
