Study Notes

Drug Effects & Drug Interactions

Lecture focused on pharmacological properties and drug effects.
Topics include: action, when effects are measured, dosage, and route of administration.
Dose-response curve describes relationship between drug dose and effect.
Shows desired effect, side-effects, and lethal doses.
ED50 is the dose required for 50% of the population to respond.
LD50 is the dose required for 50% of the population to show a lethal effect.
A biphasic curve refers to curves where the effect changes direction, as seen with the effect of alcohol.
Non-Specific drug effects are: not specific to the drug’s action, organismic effects, environmental effects.

Organismic Effects

Age, weight, biological rhythms, physiological state, genetics, and expectations can influence drug effects.

Environmental Effects

Setting of drug use (e.g., alcohol use in a social setting)
Placebo effect - an inert treatment that can trigger a response.
Nocebo effect - negative expectations can induce symptoms or illness.
Placebo effect vs. nocebo effect.

Drug interactions

Additive effect - combined effect equals the sum of individual effects.
Synergistic effect - combined effect is greater than the sum.
Antagonism - combined effect less than the sum (e.g., drugs offset each other)

Tolerance

Increased drug amounts to achieve same effect.
Different types of tolerance: functional, metabolic, protracted, acute, behavioral, cross-tolerance.

CNS Stimulants

Cocaine, Crack (free base or hydrochloride), Amphetamines, Methylphenidate, Methamphetamine.
Subcategories include synthetics, pharmaceuticals, and illicit manufacturing.
Methylxanthines: caffeine (coffee), theophylline (tea), theobromide (chocolate).

CNS Drug Effects

The primary effect is sympathomimetic (similar to amphetamines).
Local anesthetic effects can occur when the drug interacts with peripheral neurons.
Impacts of use on mood, fatigue, sociability and more.

Cocaine

An alkaloid from the Erythroxylon coca plant- indigenous to Western South America.
Used in religious, social, and traditional contexts.
Produces both a stimulating and anesthetic effect on the body.
Cocaine production is discussed (paste extraction and HCL powder).

Cocaine Pharmacodynamics

Indirect agonist for dopamine (high affinity), norepinephrine (high affinity), and serotonin (modest affinity).
Blocks monoamine re-uptake and increases glutamate.
Impacts (moderate dose): alleviation of fatigue; increased resistance to boredom; anorectic effect; elevated mood.
Impacts (high dose): altered time perception; increased vigilance; psychomotor stimulation.

Cocaine Withdrawal

Symptoms that occur when stopping cocaine use: vivid or unpleasant dreams; depression; intense cravings; stimulant psychosis.

Amphetamines

Synthetic analog of ephedrine
Effects include increased alertness, energy, focus, thirst suppression, and "rush."
Long term effects - tolerance, psychological effects/dependence.

Methamphetamine

Derivation from amphetamines.
Effects: dental problems, malnutrition, skin infections; heart failure, psychosis.

Opiates

Analgesics (pain reducing) and sedatives.
History: Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, Middle East.
Includes morphine, codeine, meperidine, Methadone, Talwin, Fentanyl, Heroin, Percodan, Vicodin, Darvon.
Pharmacokinetics: discussion of administration, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
Heroin rapidly converts to Morphine in the brain.
Key difference between Morphine and heroin, regarding lipid solubility and brain penetration.

Endorphins

Neuropeptides that function as neurotransmitters.
Interact with opioid receptors (mu, kappa, and delta).
Process pain stimuli (natural pain killers).
Two classes of endorphins: endorphins, Enkephalins, and Dynorphins.
These are natural chemicals that bind to the opioid receptors in the brain.

Opiate Effects

Analgesia, respiratory depression, excitement.
GI tract impairment, and euphoria.
Tolerance: functional tolerance, down-regulation of endorphin/receptor system, and induction of drug metabolizing enzymes in the liver.

Cannabis

History: Medicinal, recreational, and cultural use.
Key chemical - Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD).
Forms include: smoked, chewed, eaten, vaped, and topical use.
Absorption is rapid via lungs (if smoked), slow otherwise.
Effects and duration of effects.

Alcohol

Originated from the fermentations of grain, honey or fruit
Warnings regarding alcohol and harmful use through the ages.
Historical use in different communities.
DSM-5 criteria, including impaired control, social impairment, risky use, and pharmacological criteria.
Biological causal factors, psychological vulnerabilities and social influences on drug use.
Tolerance, physiological dependence or addiction.

Family

Family defined by a variety of factors (structure, function, relations).
