Questions and Answers

Which of the following is NOT a protein target for drug binding?

Ion channels

Hormones (correct)

Structural proteins

Enzymes

What is the difference between agonists and antagonists in drug-receptor interaction?

Agonists block the actions of antagonists

There is no difference

Antagonists produce a response

Agonists produce a response, while antagonists block the actions of agonists (correct)

What are some characteristics of drugs?

They should only be applied where not needed

They should have maximal side effects

They should be toxic and harmful to normal physiological activities

They should have minimal side effects and no toxicity or harm to normal physiological activities (correct)

Study Notes

Protein targets for drug binding include physiological receptors, enzymes, ion channels, carriers, and structural proteins. Examples of drugs targeting these include sulfonylurea for ion channels, Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor for carriers, and vincristine for structural proteins. Drug-receptor interaction involves affinity and efficacy, with agonists producing a response and antagonists blocking the actions of agonists. Characteristics of drugs include minimal side effects, no toxicity or harm to normal physiological activities, and being able to apply only where needed. Common side effects of aspirin, antibiotics, and antidepressants include upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and allergic reactions.
