-The study of the mechanism of action (MOA) of drugs in the body
-Relationship between drug concentration and effect on the body
Term
Pharmacokinetics
Definition
-Study of drug actions as it moves through the body
-How body effects the drug
Term
Definition of Drug
Definition
Any substance that brings about a change in biologic function through its chemical action
Term
Definition of Receptor
Definition
-The component of a cell or organism that interacts with a drug
-Initiates the chain of biochemical events leading to the drug’s observed effect
Term
Ligand
Definition
Molecule that binds to a receptor
Ex= hormone, neurotransmitter, drug, messenger molecule
Term
Difference between a hormone and xenobiotic
Definition
-Hormone: Drug that is synthesized within the body
-Xenobiotic: Drug that is made of chemicals outside of the body
Term

Term
Difference btw full and partial agonist
Definition
-Full:Produces a full response at full receptor occupancy
-Partial Agonist: Binds to the receptor and activates the receptor but with less response than a full agonist

(Response will not equal the max response of a full agonist regardless of concentration)
Term

Term
Difference between reversible and irreversible antagonists
Definition
-Reversible antagonists:
readily dissociate from their receptor
-Irreversible antagonists: form a permanent, irreversible (or nearly irreversible) chemical bond with their receptor
Term
Competitive v. Non-competitive Antagonists
Definition
-Competitive Antagonist (reversible)
Concentration of agonists to antagonists determines the effect
Increasing the amount of agonist can reverse the effect of the antagonist and vice versa

-Non-Competitive Antagonist (irreversible) Binds to the receptor with such strong affinity that the receptor is no longer available to bind with an agonist regardless of the concentration
The receptor must be regenerated before an agonist effect can occur
