Study Notes
Antagonism Types
- Competitive antagonism occurs when an antagonist binds to the same site as the endogenous ligand.
- Non-competitive antagonism engages at a site other than the receptor binding site.
- Chemical antagonism inactivates an agonist via a complex formation.
Agonist Types
- Partial agonists produce a lower response than full agonists, activating the receptor to a lesser extent.
- The two major receptor states suggested in partial agonism theory are active and inactive, illuminating how partial agonists function.
Drug Measurement Terms
- Effective Dose (ED50) describes the dose of a drug that causes a given effect in 50% of the population.
- Frequency distribution details drug responses in a population based on varying individual sensitivities.
- Potency measures how much of a drug is required to produce a specific effect.
- Efficacy indicates the maximum effect a drug can achieve.
Potency and Efficacy Calculations
- Potency in dose-response relationships can be calculated using the dose that produces a specific effect.
- Efficacy in dose-response relationships is derived from the maximum observable biological effect.
Receptor Interactions
- Inverse agonists bind to receptors and reduce the proportion in an active conformation.
- Biased agonists selectively activate certain signaling pathways over others.
Classical Definitions
- An agonist is defined as a compound that activates a receptor to produce a biological response.
- An antagonist prevents receptor activation and subsequent biological response.
Complex Interactions
- Some receptor interactions, such as allosteric modulators, do not strictly fit the definitions of classic agonists and antagonists.
Dose-Response Relationship
- Dose-response curves provide essential parameters, including ED50, potency, and efficacy, illustrating the connection between drug concentration and biological response.
- The relationship between ED50 values and drug potency indicates that lower ED50 values correlate with higher potency.
Curve Characteristics
- Sigmoidal dose-response curves typically illustrate the dose's effect intensity, showcasing the gradual increase in response at varying concentrations.
