  3. Molecular pharmacology : • Molecular pharmacology is concerned with studies of basic mechanisms of drug actions on biological systems. • The idea that drugs act upon specific sites (receptive substance) began with John New Port Langley (1852-1926) of Cambridge. • However the word ‘receptor’ is given by Paul Ehrlich (1854- 19 15). • The receptor concept which forms a key note in the development of molecular pharmacology became firmly established by the quantitative work of Alfred Joseph Clark (1885-1941), a professor of pharmacology at Kings College London.

  4. Receptor (key element) • In addition to its usefulness for explaining biology, the receptor concept has important practical consequence for • The development of drugs • Arriving at therapeutic decisions in clinical practice.

  5. Receptors: • Largely determine the quantitative relations between dose or concentration of drug and pharmacologic effects • Are responsible for selectivity of drug action • Mediate the actions of pharmacologic antagonists

  6. Macromolecular nature of drug receptors • Regulatory proteins • Enzymes • Transport proteins • Structural proteins

  7. Quantitative aspects of drug-receptor interaction

  8. Drug-Receptor Interactions Obey the Law Of Mass Action At equilibrium By law of mass action: Therefore:

  9. Total number of receptors: Rt = [R] + [DR] [R] = Rt – [DR] After rearrangement:

  10. When [D] = KD [DR] RT = 0.5 1.00 0.75 [DR]/Rt 0.50 0.25 0.00 0 5 10 15 20 [D] KD

  11. Receptor Binding % Bound KD Concentration of Ligand The dose-response relationship (from C.D. Klaassen, Casarett and Doull’s Toxicology, 5th ed., New York: McGraw-Hill, 1996).

  12. Relation between drug dose & clinical response

  13. Drugs are described based on the magnitude of two properties: • Affinity for the receptor. Affinity is related to potency. • Efficacy once bound to the receptor. Efficacy refers to the maximal effect the drug can elicit.

  14. Agonists and Antagonists • AGONIST - Has affinity for receptor and efficacy. • ANTAGONIST - Has affinity but no efficacy. • Competitive Antagonist • Noncompetitive Antagonist • Partial Agonist or Partial Antagonist – • Has affinity but lower efficacy than full agonist.

  15. Receptor ligand types

  16. Full Agonists (i.e., equal efficacies) that Differ In Potency: A B C % Max Response Compare the EC50s Drug Concentration (log scale)

  17. A B C % Max response Log Drug Concentration Agonists That Differ in Efficacy

  18. Full and partial agonist occupancy and response relationship 100 Response (full agonist) Occupancy (both) Response(%) 50 Response (partial Agonist) 0.0 1.0 0.01 0.1 10.0 Concentration (umol/l)

  19. Inverse agonist Inverse agonist can exist where an appreciable level of activation may exist even when no ligand is present For example: receptors for benzodiazepines, cannabinoids and dopamine Under such condition it may be possible for a ligand to reduce the level of activation. such drugs are known as inverse agonist

  20. Competitive Antagonism Shifts The Agonist D-R Curve (Potency) AG + ANT AG alone % Max Response EC50 EC50 Drug Concentration (log scale)

  21. AG alone AG + NC ANT AG + higher dose NC ANT % Max response Log Drug Concentration Noncompetitive Antagonism Decreases Agonist Efficacy

  22. Spare receptor Receptors are said to be ‘spare’ for a given pharmacological response when the maximal response can be elicited by an agonist at a concentration that not result in occupancy of the full complement of available receptors Emax Agonist alone Agonist with noncompetitive antagonist in presence of spare receptor Agonist with noncompetitive antagonist in absence of spare receptor Respones(%) Log Concentration

  23. Agonist like to bind to receptor in R’ state and shifts the equilibrium toward more LR’ and makes effect Antagonist like to bind to receptor in R and R” state without any preference and makes no shifts in net equilibrium R R’ L L Effect No effect LR’ LR Inverse agonist has more affinity to receptor in R state and shifts the equilibrium toward more LR and make negative response than resting state. Partial agonist has a little more affinity for receptor in R’ states than R state and makes partial effect Possible mechanism for the partial agonist phenomenon.

  24. Desensitization and Tachyphylaxis • Changes in receptor • Loss of receptor • Exhaustion of mediators • Increased metabolic degradation • Physiological adaptation • Active extrusion of drug from cells • Desensitization • Tolerance • Refractoriness • Drug resistance How?

  25. Drug Antagonism Propranolol & norepinephrine Pharmacologic Dimercaprol & heavy metals Chemical Pharmacokinetic Phenobarbital & warfarine Physiologic Epinephrine & histamine
