This document discusses cellular signalling and molecular mechanisms of drug action. It describes the different types of cell signalling including extracellular signals like hormones and intracellular signals like calcium and cyclic nucleotides. It also explains different receptor types like G-protein coupled receptors and ligand-gated ion channels. Additionally, it covers molecular mechanisms of drug action like receptor occupancy models and transducer mechanisms. Finally, it discusses ion channels involved in cellular signalling like sodium, calcium and potassium channels as well as their pharmacological modulation.
2. CELLULAR SIGNALLING
What is cell signalling
Cell signalling within, between & among the cell & their classification
A. EXTRACELLULAR- protein, peptides, AA, hormones, PG, Steroids, etc
1) Intracrine – signal produced & stayed in target cell itself
2) Autocrine – target cell, are secreted and effects on target cell via receptor
3) Paracrine - target cell in viscinity,,,eg Neurotransmitter
Local chemical mediators- GF, PG
4) Endocrine- duct, hormone,distant cell-- insulin, thyroxine, adrenaline
5) Juxtracrine- signal targets adjascent cell
6) Gaseous- NO, CO
7) Neuronal- synapses
3.
4. B. INTRACELLULAR
• Ca2+ : ions
• DG, ceramide : lipid derivatives
• IP3 : carbohydrate derivatives
• cAMP cGMP : nucleotides
• Ras, JAK, Raf : proteins
SECOND MESSENGER
Ca2+,DAG, Ceramide, IP3, cAMP, cGMP
THIRD MESSENGER- transmit signal from outside to inside or
inside to outside of nucleus/ DNA binding protein
5. MOLECULAR MECHANISM OF DRUG ACTION
RECEPTOR OCCUPANCY :-
The receptor concept
Nature of drug receptor interaction
1.Receptor occupancy model-
Law of mass action
More receptor occupied more
effect at equilibrium
6. 2.two state receptor model- inactive and active
3.ternary complex model- ligand,receptors and G-protein
4. competitive inhibitory model.
7. TRANSDUCER MECHANISM
What are receptors ?
Able to recognize and bind to corresponding ligand molecules, become
activated, and transduce signal to next signaling molecules.
Glycoprotein / lippoprotein
1. G-Protein coupled receptors
2. ligand gated Ion channel receptors
3. Enzyme linked receptor
4. Nuclear/Steroidal receptor
