General Pharmacodynamics
- 2. 1. PHARMACO- DYNAMICS OF DRUGS − DEFINITION
- 3. Pharmacodynamics: (1) How the drugs act on the body? (2) The mechanism of action of drug and its effects.
- 4. The mechanism of action represents the interaction between drug molecules and biological structures of the organism.
- 5. Sponsored Medical Lecture Notes – All Subjects USMLE Exam (America) – Practice
- 6. The effect represents the final results from the drug action. The effect can be observed and measured, but not the action.

- 10. Specific action It is connected with interaction of the drug with specific site(s) on the cell membrane or inside the cell.
- 11. 3. MOLECULAR ASPECTS OF SPECIFIC DRUG ACTION How drugs act?
- 12. Main specific targets for drug actions are: DNA microbial organelles target macroproteins
- 13. Alkylating agents bind covalently to sites within the DNA such as N7 of guanine and block DNA-replication. DNA

- 17. are the regulatory macroproteins – sensitive elements in the system of chemical commu- nications that coordinates the function of the different cells in the body. A. Receptors
- 18. Receptors bind to •Endogenous ligands (such as): - neurotransmitters (mediators) - hormones - autacoids (tissue mediators) - grouth factors - inhibitory factors, etc. •Exogenous ligands: - many (but not all) drugs - some other xenobiotics
- 19. Partial Agonist (unfull antagonist) The main receptor ligands are • agonists − activate the receptors • antagonists − block the receptors (Full) (Full)
- 20. The interaction between the ligand and the receptor does not involve covalent bonds but weaker, reversible forces, such as: •Ionic bonding •Hydrogen bonding •Hydrophobic bonding •Van der Waals forces.
- 21. The receptors have a three-dimensional organization in space and require the different aspects of a ligand to be pre- sented in the correct 3-D configuration (like fitting a hand into the glove).
- 22. The numbers of receptors may be altered during chronic drug treatment, with either an increase in receptor numbers (up-regulation) or a decrease (down-regulation). The therapeutic effect of β-blockers develops slowly. This is probably related to adaptive regulation of receptor numbers.
- 23. There are pre- and postsynaptic receptors. Presynaptic receptors may inhibit or increase transmitter release (feedback mechanism: +/-)

- 25. There are 4 main types of recep- tors, according to their molecu- lar structure and the nature of receptor-effector linkage. The location of type 1, 2 and 3 receptors is on (into) the cell membranes; type 4 − into the cell nucleus.
- 26. Ionotropic receptors (ligand-gated ion channel receptors) •These receptors are involved mainly in fast synaptic transmission. •They are proteins containing several transmembrane segments arranged around a central channel. •Ligand binding and channel opening occur on a millisecond time-scale.

- 31. G-protein-coupled receptors All comprise 7 membrane-spanning segments. One of the intracellular loops is larger than the others and interacts with G-protein.
- 32. •The G-protein is a membrane protein comprising 3 subunits (α, β, γ). The alpha-subunit possessing GTP-activity. •When the agonists occupy a receptor, the alpha-subunit dissociates and is then free to activate a target (effector): - enzyme (AC, GC, PLC) - Ca2+ ion channels
- 33. • AC (adenylate cyclase) catalyses formation on the intracellular messenger (cAMP). • cAMP activates various protein kinases (PKA and others) which control cell function in many different ways by causing phos- phorylation of various enzymes, carriers and other proteins.

- 39. • PLC (phospholipase C) catalyses the formation of two intracellular messen- gers − InsP3 and DAG, from memb- rane phospholipids. • InsP3 (inositol-triphosphate) increases free cytosolic calcium by releasing Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum. • Free calcium initiates contractions, se- cretion, membrane hyperpolarization • DAG activates protein kinase C (PKC).

- 48. a) Cytoplasmic receptors: Steroid hormones, Calcitriol Steroide hormone diffuse into the cell. When activated, the receptors translocate to the nucleus where they can upregulate gene transcription by action on specific DNA response elements and recruiting co-activator proteins.

- 56. Most drug produce graded dose-related effects, which can be plotted as a dose response curve. Such curves are often hyperbolic (a), but they can be conveniently plotted on semi-logarithmic paper to give sigmoidal shape (b).
- 57. Plotted dose- response curves: (a) arith- metically (b) semi- logarith- mically Sigmoidal shape (b) Hyperbolic shape (a)
- 58. The method of plotting dose-response curves facilitates quantitative analysis of: full agonists, which produce graded responses up to maximum value; antagonists, which produce no response on their own but antagonize the response to an agonist; partial agonists, which produce some response but to a lower maximum than that of a full agonist and antagonize its effect.
- 59. •The affinity of a drug is its ability to bind to the receptor. •The intrinsic activity of a drug is its ability after binding to the receptor to produce effect. •The efficacy of a drug is its ability to produce maximal response. •The selectivity of a drug is the extent to which it acts preferentially on particular receptor types.
