Drug action and introduction to structure-activity relationships

?
how are functional groups formed
clusters of atoms within a molecule form this
1 of 24
examples of things a drug can bond to in its environment
water, drug target, biological membrane
2 of 24
what is the principle of complentarity
that adenine will only ever bond to thymine and guanine to adenine
3 of 24
what do functional groups need for complementarity
an appropriate reactivity and arrangement of atoms in space
4 of 24
what does acetylcolinesterase do
hydrolyses acetylcholine
5 of 24
how many spatial coordinates are needed to map an atom

Stimulates sympathetic nervous system, Causes vasoconstriction
7 of 24
what type of protein does adrenaline act on
g-protein coupled receptor
8 of 24
what functional groups are involved in D-(-)-adrenaline
amino, catechol ring and side chain hydroxyl
9 of 24

12 of 24
define pressor
constricting blood vessels to increase blood pressure
13 of 24
is L-(+)-adrenaline a strong or weak pressor
weak pressor
14 of 24
what do many target molecules react to
more than 1 structure of drug
15 of 24
what can be understood if properties of the drugs are understood
pharmacological behaviour of the drug and better rational choices in therapy
16 of 24
what is the function of etoposide
blocks Topoisomerase II
17 of 24
side effects of etoposide
can cause hypersensitivity
18 of 24
function of doxorubicin
inhibits topoisomerase II, binds to DNA-enzyme complex, DNA is cut and inhibits resealing
19 of 24
what is α- and β- tubulin
proteins which are the main consituent of microtubules
20 of 24
what does vincristine bind to
α- and β- tubulin
21 of 24
what is an antimitotic
halt cell division by inhibiting polymerization
