Pharmacodynamics• Detailed mechanism of action by which
drugs produce drug produce their biochemical and physiological effect
• Dose response relationship; relationship between drug concentration and magnitude of drug effect
• Provides scientific basis for the selection and use of drugs to counteract specific pathophysiologic mechanisms in particular disease

Nature of drug receptors
• Drugs produce their effects by interacting of receptors
• Most ligands bind to protein receptors, which are embedded in the membrane
• Some agents act directly to on DNA or membrane lipids
3
Types of Drug Receptors Examples of Drugs that Bind Receptor
Hormone and Neurotransmitter Receptors
Adrenergic receptors Epinephrine and propranolol
Histamine receptors Cimetidine and diphenhydramine
5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptors Insulin receptors
Tegaserod, ondansetron, and sumatriptan Insulin
Muscarinic receptors Atropine and bethanechol
Nicotinic receptors Tubocurarine
Opioid receptors Morphine and codeine
Steroid receptors Cortisol, estradiol, and tamoxifen
Enzymes
Carbonic anhydrase Acetazolamide
Cholinesterase Donepezil and physostigmine
Cyclooxygenase Aspirin and celecoxib
DNA polymerase Acyclovir and zidovudine
DNA topoisomerase Ciprofloxacin
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease Indinavir
Monoamine oxidase Phenelzine
Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase Digoxin
Xanthine oxidase Allopurinol
Membrane transport proteins
Ion channels Lidocaine, quinidine, and verapamil
Ion transporters Furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide

Types of drug receptors• G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR)
– Guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein)• Extracellular/transmembrane domain binds to ligand
• Intracellular domain binds to effector molecules (G protein)
5
Types of drug receptors • G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR)
– Guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein)
• Enzymes– Competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors
• Membrane transport proteins– Ligand and voltage-gated ion channels
– Neurotransmitter transporters
• Membrane lipids and phospholipids– Anesthetics and alcohol
• Steroid hormone receptors– Intracellular proteins, translocate to nucleus
6
A small # of drugs produce their physiological effect without interacting with receptors. Examples:
Drugs that bind to enzymes interfere with the normal activity of the enzyme in one of 2 ways
Competitive-
Non-competitive-
Drugs can also bind to membrane transport proteins (competitively and non-competitively) and inhibit their function.
Some drugs can also bind to membrane lipids and DNA in order to produce their action.
7
Drug receptor interactions are very specific. They form ionic, hydrophobic and H-bonds with their receptor. The receptor binding site recognizes the 3-D shape of their ligands.
L-isoproterenol binds to a -adrenergic receptor with higher affinity than its mirror image D-isoproterenol.
8
The non-covalent interactions are reversible as a result drugs dissociate from their receptors as their concentration in the plasma decreases.
Affinity- is the tendency of a drug to combine with its receptor
[D] + [R] [D-R] Effect
Law of mass action: the # of R occupied by D depends on the [D]
And the K D - the ratio of drug receptor dissociation k2 and association k1 rate
K D= k2/ k1
The lower the K D higher the affinity. This occurs if the association rate constant k1 >> (much greater than) k2 .
k1
k2

KD= the concentration of drug required to saturate 50% of the receptors
Most effective drugs have KDs in the micromolar (10-6) to nanomolar (10-9) range.
Signal transduction: the process where the binding of a drug to its receptor initiates a cascade of biochemical events that result in the physiological effect.
Membrane receptors are coupled to with a G-protein, an ion channel or an enzyme
For example G proteins:
10
Gs = Stimulatory; increase adenylate cyclase (AC) activityGi = Inhibitory ; decrease AC activity Gq= activate phospholipase C >> formation of Inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol from (DAG) from membrane phospholipids
11
Efficacy or Intrinsic activity- the ability of a drug to initiate a cellular effect
Agonist- drug has both receptor affinity and intrinsic activity
Antagonist- drug has receptor affinity only.
12
3 Types of Agonists
Full- max physiological response
Partial- sub maximal physiological response
In the presence of a full agonist a partial agonist behaves like an antagonist.
Inverse agonist- decreases the rate of signal transduction
Antagonists bind to receptor binding-site and prevent the action of agonists and inverse agonists.

Practice Questions
• Which of the following drug is more effective if they are administered with the same dose? Why?
• Drug A with KD = 3x10-10
• Drug B with KD = 2x10-5
• Drug A, because it has a lower KD
14
• How does a Gq increase IP3? How does IP3 function in the cells
• Activates phospholipase C
• IP3 releases calcium from intracellular storage sites and augment calcium-induced processes such as muscle contraction
