Pharmacology lecture 3

?
What does a graded dose response relationship show?
A response of a particular system
1 of 14
What does a quantal dose response relationship show?
The drug dose required to produce a specified response determined in each member of a population
2 of 14
What does a dose-response curve allow you to estimate?
1) Emax 2) Concentration or dose required to produce 50% of maximal response - EC50
3 of 14
What does a dose-response curve allow you to determine? And define them.
1) Efficacy - ability to produce a desired response 2) Potency - amount required to produce a max effect
4 of 14
Kd = (definition)
concentration of ligand at which 50% of available receptors are occupied(equilibrium dissociation constant)
5 of 14
Kd = (formula)
Kd = K-1/K1
6 of 14
Affinity = (formula)
Affinity = K1/K-1
7 of 14
A LOWER Kd indicates....
a tighter ligand-receptor interaction (HIGHER AFFINITY)
8 of 14
A LOWER EC50 value....
the GREATER the POTENCY
9 of 14
FULL agonist
High efficacy - produce MAX response while occupy small % of receptors
10 of 14
PARTIAL agonist
Low efficacy - unable to produce a max response even when occupying all available receptors
11 of 14
Tachyphylaxis
Desensitisation of receptors
12 of 14
What do positive allosteric modulators do?
Not active alone but INCREASE affinity and/or efficacy of endogenous agonist
13 of 14
What do negative allosteric modulators do?
Not active alone but DECREASE affinity and/or efficacy of endogenous agonists
