Pharmacodynamics is the study of how drugs act on the body and their mechanisms of action. It includes the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs. A key concept is that drugs can act as agonists, partial agonists, antagonists, or inverse agonists depending on if they mimic endogenous compounds and what receptor states they stabilize. The potency and efficacy of a drug depends on its affinity for and ability to activate receptors. Factors like tolerance, resensitization, and downregulation also impact a drug's effects over time. Understanding pharmacodynamics is important for determining dosages, maximizing therapeutic effects, and minimizing adverse reactions.
The document discusses pharmacodynamics, which is the study of how drugs act on the body and their mechanisms of action. It explains that most drugs act by interacting with macromolecules in the body, often proteins that normally serve as receptors for endogenous ligands. Drugs that mimic the effects of endogenous ligands are called agonists, while those that block or reduce their action are called antagonists. The specificity and effects of a drug depend on factors like its affinity for receptors and the expression of those receptors in different tissues. A drug's action is characterized by its binding to receptors and the response generated, and its potency, efficacy and affinity determine its occupational capacity of receptors.
This document provides an overview of pharmacology concepts related to receptors and drug action. It defines key terms like agonists, antagonists, efficacy, and potency. It describes the four major families of pharmacologic receptors - ligand-gated ion channels, G protein-coupled receptors, enzyme-linked receptors, and intracellular receptors. Within each family it provides examples of receptors, the mechanism of drug action, and representative drugs. The document also distinguishes between different types of agonists, antagonists, and mechanisms of drug-receptor interactions.
Here are the matches between the pharmacologic terms and their definitions:
1. Efficacy - C) This is the maximal response obtainable by a drug treatment
2. Potency - E) This is the amount of drug required to produce a desired effect
3. Tolerance - A) Decreased response to the same dose of the drug.
4. Therapeutic index - D) This is the ratio of the toxic dose to the therapeutic dose
5. Intolerance - B) When the antagonist is suddenly withdrawn, severe reaction occurs in the form of rebound or withdrawal effects
Pharmacodynamics is the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and their mechanisms of action. Pharmacodynamics is often referred to as “what the drug does to the body”.
In order to exert their effects, drugs usually interact in a structurally specific way with a protein receptor or act on physiological processes within the body. This activates a secondary messenger system that produces a physiological effect. Drugs do not create new action but they can only modify (alter) the functions of cells or tissues in body. The drug–receptor complex initiates alterations in biochemical and/or molecular activity of a cell by a process called signal transduction.
The document discusses drug receptors and how drugs act in the body. It provides information on:
- Receptors are molecules that drugs bind to, initiating their effects. The binding is determined by the drug's chemical structure.
- Agonists activate or enhance cellular activity by binding to receptors. Antagonists bind but do not activate the receptor, instead blocking agonists from binding.
- Affinity is a drug's tightness of binding, while intrinsic activity is its ability to produce an effect once bound. These factors determine a drug's effects.
Receptors are cellular components that drugs bind to in order to produce their pharmacological effects. The ability of a drug to bind is determined by its chemical structure interacting with complementary surfaces on the receptor. When an agonist binds to a receptor, it activates or enhances the cell's activity by triggering biochemical events. Antagonists also bind receptors but do not activate the cell's activity; they prevent agonists from binding. The affinity and intrinsic activity of a drug determine which effects it produces.
The document discusses various aspects of pharmacodynamics, which is the study of how drugs act on the body. It describes different mechanisms of drug action including stimulation, depression, irritation, replacement, cytotoxic action, physical action, chemical action, action through enzymes, and action through receptors. It also discusses concepts like dose-response relationship, drug potency and efficacy, therapeutic index, drug combination effects like synergism and antagonism, and factors that can modify drug action.

Comparison of reversible and irreversible antagonists (Dose-response.pptxAbdalrahmanyousefSal
This document compares reversible (competitive) and irreversible (non-competitive) antagonists and their effects on dose-response curves. It discusses that competitive antagonists reduce potency by lowering the affinity for receptors but do not change maximum efficacy. In contrast, non-competitive antagonists reduce both potency and maximum efficacy by interacting with receptors in a different area than the active site. The document also introduces concepts like ED50, TD50, LD50, efficacy, potency, agonists, partial agonists, and spare receptors.
Pharmacodynamics is the study of how drugs act on the body and their mechanisms of action. It involves drug-receptor interactions and explains the relation between drug effects. Pharmacodynamics provides a basis for rational drug use and design. Drugs can act through stimulation, depression, irritation, replacement or cytotoxic effects on cells. Their main targets are receptors, ion channels, enzymes, and transporter proteins. Understanding drug-receptor interactions is important for explaining drug effects and determining their potency and efficacy. Drug interactions can enhance or reduce the effects of drugs and should be considered when administering multiple medications.
Pharmacodynamics is the study of how drugs act on the body and their biochemical and physiological effects. Drugs can act through receptor-mediated or non-receptor mediated pathways. There are four main types of receptor families: ligand-gated ion channels, G-protein coupled receptors, enzymatic receptors, and nuclear receptors. Receptor-mediated actions involve drug-receptor binding which can have varying effects depending on the drug's efficacy and potency. Non-receptor mediated actions do not involve receptors and can include chemical or physical effects. Tolerance to drugs can develop with repeated use through mechanisms such as receptor regulation.
1. There are several types of drug receptors that mediate the effects of drugs, including ion channel-linked receptors, G-protein-linked receptors, enzyme-linked receptors, and intracellular receptors.
2. Drugs interact with specific receptors through precise physiochemical and spatial interactions, and this binding can lead to responses by activating ion channels, enzymes, or other intracellular signaling pathways.
3. The interaction between a drug and its receptor is described using principles from enzyme kinetics, with terms like efficacy, potency, affinity, agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists. Competitive and non-competitive antagonism can alter the response to receptor activation.
1. Pharmacodynamics is the study of how drugs act on the body, including their mechanisms of action.
2. Drugs primarily act by interacting with proteins like receptors, ion channels, enzymes, and transporters. They can also act physically or chemically.
3. Drugs can have stimulatory, depressant, replacement, or cytotoxic effects by interacting with enzymes, receptors, or through physical/chemical actions. The most common mechanism is receptor interaction.

Pharmacokinetics (from Ancient Greek pharmakon "drug" and kinetikos "moving, putting in motion"; see chemical kinetics), sometimes abbreviated as PK, is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to determine the fate of substances administered to a living organism. The substances of interest include any chemical xenobiotic such as: pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, food additives, cosmetics, etc. It attempts to analyze chemical metabolism and to discover the fate of a chemical from the moment that it is administered up to the point at which it is completely eliminated from the body. Pharmacokinetics is the study of how an organism affects a drug, whereas pharmacodynamics (PD) is the study of how the drug affects the organism. Both together influence dosing, benefit, and adverse effects, as seen in PK/PD models.

THIS PPT INCLUDE PHARMACODYNAMICS AND THIS PPT IS VERY USEFUL FOR (MBBS,BDS ) STUDENTS ,POSTGRADUATE STUDENT (MD,MDS,Phd) STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND PHARMACODYNAMICS.
This document discusses pharmacodynamics and the mechanisms of drug action. It describes how drugs can stimulate, depress, or replace cellular activity. Drugs act through physical, chemical, or irritating effects. Most drugs produce their effects by combining with enzymes, cell membranes, or other functional components. This results in initial drug action and subsequent biochemical and physiological drug effects. Drugs can interact with receptors, ion channels, enzymes, or carrier molecules within cells. Receptor binding forms drug-receptor complexes that trigger biological responses. Affinity, intrinsic activity, agonists, antagonists, and partial agonists are discussed in relation to receptor binding and response.
Dr. Haji Bahadar discusses pharmacodynamics, which is the biochemical interaction of drugs with the body that produces pharmacological effects. There are two main types of interactions: receptor-mediated and non-receptor mediated. Receptor-mediated interactions involve drugs binding to receptors on cells to initiate a response, while non-receptor mediated interactions occur through processes like osmosis, adsorption, chemical reactions, and enzyme inhibition. The document provides detailed explanations and examples of both types of pharmacodynamic interactions.
Receptor theory is the application of receptor models to explain drug behaviour, receptor theory and its principles of action, receptor theory of drug action
The document discusses drug pharmacodynamics and mechanisms of action. It describes two main types of mechanisms - receptor-mediated and non-receptor mechanisms. Receptor-mediated mechanisms involve drug-receptor interactions that can result in various effects depending on whether the drug is an agonist, antagonist, partial agonist, or inverse agonist. Non-receptor mechanisms involve direct physical or chemical reactions between the drug and other molecules in the body. The document also discusses receptor types, models of drug-receptor interactions, factors that influence drug response, and potential adverse effects of drug interactions and reactions.
Pharmacodynamics describes how drugs act on the body through their interactions with biomolecules like enzymes, ion channels, transporters, and receptors. Drugs can stimulate or depress biological processes through these interactions. The magnitude of a drug's effect depends on its concentration in the body. Drugs typically either increase or decrease the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions through competitive or non-competitive inhibition. Dose-response relationships describe how the dose of a drug relates to its plasma concentration and resulting pharmacological response in a graded or quantal manner. The potency, efficacy, and therapeutic index of drugs can be determined from these relationships. When multiple drugs are administered together, their effects may be independent, synergistic, additive,

Dental materials - properties of dental materialSafuraIjaz2
This document discusses rheology, the study of flow of matter, which is important in dentistry as many dental materials are liquids or flow over time. It defines viscosity as the resistance of a fluid to flow and how it is measured. Dental materials are classified as Newtonian, pseudoplastic, or dilatant based on how their viscosity changes with increasing shear rate. Some materials like plaster of Paris and resin cements are thixotropic, where viscosity decreases under constant shear and increases when at rest. Structural relaxation is a rheological phenomenon where solids slowly deform through stress relaxation as atoms rearrange or through creep/flow under constant load near melting points.
The document discusses dental anatomy and development. It defines key terms like occlusion, mastication, dentition, and describes the primary and permanent dentition. It outlines the dental formula and eruption sequences. It also describes tooth structures like the enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum and periodontal ligament. It defines anatomical landmarks like cusps, ridges, depressions, and root structures. Tooth development and anomalies in number, size, shape and calcification are also discussed.
There are several subtypes of ameloblastoma including common, unicystic, and peripheral ameloblastomas. Common ameloblastomas typically occur in people aged 20-40 and present as slow-growing lesions in the mandible that cause bone expansion. Unicystic ameloblastomas usually affect younger people aged 16-20 and present as well-defined radiolucencies associated with impacted mandibular third molars. Peripheral ameloblastomas present as nodules in older adults aged 23-82 in the gingiva of the mandible or maxilla. Histologically, the subtypes can be distinguished based on epithelial patterns and features. Treatment involves surgical excision of the lesion and surrounding

The chapter will likely examine the different types of teeth and their functions as well as how their shapes are adapted for various purposes.
This document provides an overview of cementum, including its physical characteristics, composition, functions, classification, locations, abnormalities, and more. Cementum is the avascular, mineralized tissue covering tooth roots. It is composed of cells, collagen fibers, and hydroxyapatite crystals. Cementum functions to provide anchorage for fibers attaching teeth to bone and aids in adaptation and repair. It can be classified based on presence of cells, fiber origin, location, and matrix composition. Abnormalities include aplasia, hypoplasia, and hypercementosis.
Cementum is a hard, avascular connective tissue that covers tooth roots. It begins at the cervical portion of the tooth and extends to the apex. Cementum provides the medium for collagen fibers to attach the tooth to surrounding structures. It is composed mainly of inorganic hydroxyapatite and organic collagen. Cementum forms through a process called cementogenesis, where mesenchymal cells differentiate into cementoblasts that synthesize cementum. Cementum is classified based on formation timing, presence of cells, and origin of collagen fibers, with the primary types being acellular intrinsic fiber cementum and cellular extrinsic fiber cementum.
The document discusses several oral conditions including cleft lip, cleft palate, macroglossia, amyloidosis, black hairy tongue, torus palatinus, and torus mandibularis. Cleft lip and cleft palate are classified in different severities. Macroglossia and amyloidosis present enlarged tongue issues while black hairy tongue and torus palatinus/mandibularis involve abnormal tongue and hard palate/jaw bone growths.
Local anesthetics work by blocking sodium channels, preventing the transmission of electrical signals in nerves. They are commonly used for minor surgical procedures and can be administered via different routes. The most commonly used local anesthetics are amide and ester derivatives that exist in both ionized and non-ionized forms, with the non-ionized forms able to more readily cross cell membranes and the ionized forms being the active blocking entities inside axons. Toxicity can occur if local anesthetic blood levels become too high, potentially causing CNS or cardiovascular effects like seizures or arrhythmias. Treatment of local anesthetic toxicity focuses on supportive measures.
This document describes and compares the anatomical features of the maxillary and mandibular molars. It outlines their eruption times, root development stages, occlusal surface geometries, root morphologies, contact areas, outlines, grooves and pits. The maxillary and mandibular first molars have similar features, such as trapezoidal buccal and lingual aspects, trifurcated roots, and 4 major cusps. Differences between the molars include their occlusion patterns, number of roots and cusps, and root fusion tendencies over time. Common anatomical variations are also listed.
The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord and coordinates all body functions. The PNS connects the CNS to the limbs and organs through nerves and ganglia. Neurons are the basic cells of the nervous system and transmit electrochemical signals through axons and dendrites to control sensation, movement, and organ function. Glial cells support and protect neurons. The spinal cord has gray matter containing neuron cell bodies surrounded by white matter of myelinated axons.

core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
5. Therapeutic Index
Is the ratio of the LD50 to ED50
Represent an estimate of the safety of a drug.

8. Efficacy describes ability of drug-bound receptor to produce a
response.
Potency is the amount of drug needed to produce a certain response.
Affinity describes strength of drug binding with receptor.
Intrinsic activity – capacity to induce a functional change in the
receptor.
11. Receptors
A receptor is that component (macromolecule) of a cell (on or inside the
cell) that interacts with the drug, and this interaction leads to a chain of
events that alter the activity of the cell.
Important: Drug binds to the receptors to illicit a biological response
(toxic/therapeutic).
Effectors
Effectors are molecules that act in response to the drug (or more
precisely, the drug-receptor complex) and participate in the
aforementioned chain of intracellular events leading to the drug’s effects.
17. Upregulation
Upregulation (i.e., increase in the number) of receptors occurs when
the activity of the receptor is lower than usual (e.g., due to long-term
administration of an antagonist). For example, administration of beta-
blockers upregulates β adrenoreceptors. Thus, if β-blockers are
abruptly stopped, it can cause rebound hypertension because of the
sudden stimulation of a large number of β adrenoreceptors.
18. • Chronic decrease in the concentration of hormone and in response the
target cell increase the no of receptor to and normalize/regularize the
normal physiological activities.
• Hypersensitivity
• Why? To cause effective stimulation
• Two method
• 1 activate inactivated receptor
• 2. Over production of receptors via message to nucleus
19. Downregulation
Downregulation (i.e., decrease in number) is the inverse of upregulation.
It occurs due to repeated or long-term administration of an agonist. Along
with downregulation, desensitization of the receptor to the drug may also
occur. This is a physicochemical alteration in the receptor which makes it
unresponsive to the drug; this is also called tachyphylaxis and is seen
in chronic drug use, for example.
Important: The process is useful in the prevention of cell damage due to the
high concentration of an agonist.
20. • Chronic increase in the concentration of hormone and the target cell
decrease the receptors to and normalize/regularize the physiological
activities.
• Hyposensitivity ( sensitivity to ligand is decreased)
• Why? To stop over stimulation

23. Agonists
• Drugs that bind to physiological receptors and mimic the regulatory
effects of the endogenous signaling compounds are termed agonists.
• If the drug binds to the same recognition site as the endogenous
agonist (the primary or orthosteric site on the receptor) the drug is
said to be a primary agonist.
• Allosteric agonists bind to a different region on the receptor referred
to as an allosteric site.
24. Antagonist
• Drugs that block or reduce the action of an agonist are termed
antagonists.
• Antagonism most commonly results from competition with an
agonist for the same or overlapping site on the receptor (a syntopic
interaction)
• Physical antagonist binds to the drug and prevents its absorption like
charcoal binds to alkaloids and prevents their absorption.
• Chemical antagonist combines with a substance chemically like
chelating agents binds with the metals.
• Physiological antagonist produces an action opposite to a substance but
by binding to the different receptors e.g. adrenaline is a physiological
antagonist of histamine because adrenaline causes bronchodilatation by
binding to β2 receptors, which is opposite to bronchoconstriction caused
by histamine through H1 receptors.
• Pharmacological antagonists produce no effect , shows no intrinsic
activity.
25. • Partial agonists -Agents that are only partly as effective as
agonists regardless of the concentration employed.
• Inverse agonists -Many receptors exhibit some constitutive
activity in the absence of a regulatory ligand; drugs that stabilize
such receptors in an inactive conformation are termed inverse
agonists (produce effect opposite to that of agonist).
26. POTENCY
The amount of the drug needed to produce a given
effect.
potency is determined by the affinity of the receptor
for the drug.
The dose causing 50% from the maximal effect (EC50)
can be obtained from graded dose-response curve.
In quantal dose response curve, ED50, TD50 and LD50
are potency variables.
27. Repeated administration of a drug results in diminished
effect “Tolerance”.
Tachyphylaxis: is a type of tolerance which occurs very
rapidly.
Desensitization: decreased response to the agonist after its
repeated injection in small doses.
May be due to
1- Masking or internalization of the receptors.
2- Loss of receptors (down regulation)- decreased synthesis or
increased destruction.
3- Exhaustion of mediators (depletion of catecholamine).
Editor's Notes
The anti-obesity drugs rimonabant and taranabant are inverse agonists at the cannabinoid CB1 receptor and though they produced significant weight loss, both were withdrawn owing to a high incidence of depression and anxiety, which are believed to relate to the inhibition of the constitutive activity of the cannabinoid receptor.
