Study Notes
Pharmacodynamics (PD)
- Pharmacodynamics (PD) refers to how a drug affects the body.
- Key components of PD include receptor-ligand theory, agonism/antagonism, signaling mechanisms, receptor regulation, and dose-response relationships.
- Drug Target: The primary macromolecule in the body that a drug binds to, causing a biological response.
- Major drug targets are proteins: receptors, enzymes, ion channels, and transporters.
- Affinity: The strength of the bond between a drug and its target.
- Enzymes: Proteins that catalyze reactions by lowering activation energy, enabling specific substrates to convert into products.
- Typical effects of enzymes: E + S ⇌ ES → P (E = enzyme; S = substrate; P = product)
- Physiological Receptors: Transmembrane proteins capable of transmitting a signal involved in cellular processes (signal transduction).
