INBDE - Pharm - Pharmacokinetics and
Pharmacodynamics Study Guide
pharmacodynamics - Answer what the drug does to the body



almost all drug targets are - Answer proteins



agonist - Answer mimics the effects of an endogenous agonist molecule



full vs partial agonist - Answer full - can produce 100% of the desired effect

partial - can't "



antagonist (two types) - Answer competitive - competes for the same binding site

noncompetitive - binds to a different non overlapping binding site but still prevents binding



inverse agonist - Answer inhibits the basal activity of a receptor in the absence of the normal
agonist



(binds to a special kind of receptor that is active at rest in order to inhibit its basal activity)



Type I dose response curve - Answer x axis - dose

y-axis - response



usually logarithmic, can be hyperbolic



intrinsic activity / emax of a drug - Answer full agonist - 1

partial agonist - 0 to 1

antagonist - 0

inverse agonist - negative number



efficacy - Answer effect of a drug as a function of binding



affinity - Answer attractiveness of a drug to its receptor



the lower the dissociation constant the _____ the affinity - Answer higher

, potency - Answer power of a drug at a specific concentration



usually measured by the effective concentration of the drug leading to half its maximal effect
(EC50)



competitive antagonist shifts agonist curve - Answer right



noncompetitive antagonist shifts the agonist curve - Answer downq



type II dose response curve - Answer x axis - dose

y axis - number of subjects responding to a drug



for a type II dose response curve what different curves can you measure - Answer therapeutic,
toxic, lethal



ED50 - Answer 50 percent experience effective treatment



TD50 - Answer 50 percent have toxic side effects



LD50 - Answer 50 percent have died



therapeutic index - Answer animal studies: LD50/ED50

human studeis: TD50/ED50



larger therapeutic index - safer drug



additive effect - Answer combining drugs combines their individual degrees of effect



antagonistic effect - Answer combining drugs causes a lesser effect than one drug alone



types of antagonistic effects - Answer chemical - drug binds another drug

receptor - competition for a receptor between two drugs

pharmacokinetic - one drug affects the PK of another

physiologic - two drugs produce opposing effects on the same tissue
