What is What is Pharmacology?Pharmacology?

Pharmacology can be defined as the study of the manner in which

the functions of the living systemsfunctions of the living systems is affected by chemical agentchemical agent

Drug acts at receptor

Drug or Drug or LigandLigand

Receptor

Ligand can either stimulate or block

receptor

• Stimulate … “Agonist”

• Block … “Antagonist”

12

KA = drug concentration which have 5 0 % occupancy at equilibrium

KA indicates Affinity; ความชอบจับของยากับ receptors

50 % occupancy

50 % occupancy

High KA ; Low Affinity

Low KA ; High Affinity

MODEL

Theoretical relationship between occupancy and ligand Theoretical relationship between occupancy and ligand concentrationconcentration

KA indicate affinity

KA = drug concentration which have 50% occupancy at

equilibrium

14

Concentration Effect CurveConcentration Effect Curve• Concentration effect curve is not equal is not equal to occupancy concentr

ation curve

• Can not indicate the affinity … response is not related to response is not related to affinityaffinity

16

Agonists VS AntagonistsAgonists VS Antagonists

Agonists

• Bind receptor Physiological response

• Maximal response “ Full agonist”

• Submaximal response“ Partial agonist”

Drugs act at receptor (one type of drug target)

LigandLigand = Agents that bind to = Agents that bind to receptorreceptor

19

Antagonist Antagonist

• Bind receptor No physiological response

• Block receptor

• Prevent endogenous ligand or agonist binding

Agonist has both “Affinity & Effica Agonist has both “Affinity & Efficacy”cy”

Antagonist has only “Affinity” Antagonist has only “Affinity”Agonist + Antagonist Pharmacolog

Drug antagonism

• Pharmacologic antagonism

• Physiologic antagonism

• Chemical antagonism

Enhancement of drug Enhancement of drug effecteffect

Additive effect 1+1 = 2

Paracetamol + Ibuprofen

Synergism 1+1 > 2

Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim

Potentiation 0+1 > 1

Penicillin + Probenecid

Dose response curve

• Quantal response = All or none response

• Count the number of subjects who response

• Median lethal dose = LD
