Objectives:

• Identify different targets of drug

• Differentiate between their patterns

• Elaborate on drug binding to
receptors
What is Pharmacodynamics?
Study of biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and
their mechanism of action.

Mechanism

Ion Channel
1- STRUCTRAL:
Tubulin: is target for drugs such as anticancer drugs and anti gout
drugs. Tubulin is required for microtubules formation
(cytoskeleton). Carrier molecule
target for :
Vincristine : Anticancer drug that kills cancerous cells by
inhibiting microtubule formation and cell division.
Colchicine : Anti gout drug binds to tubulin and inhibit Enzyme
microtubule formation preventing neutrophil motility and
decreasing inflammation
2- REGULATORY: 1-ENZYMES:
The drug competes with the natural substrate for the enzyme.
E.g. Anticholinesterases inhibit acetyl cholinesterase thus producing cholinomimetic action.

A- Reversible: Neostigmine reversibly B- Irreversible: Organophosphates


competes with ACH for acetyl irreversibly competes with ACH for acetyl
cholinesterase at motor end plate cholinesterase.
(Effect lasts forever)
(neuromuscular junction). (Effect lasts for
short duration of time)

2-ION CHANNEL:
• Responsible for influx or out-flux of ions through cell membranes.
• They are activated by alteration in action potential.
• Drugs bind to alter channel function (opening or blockade) E.g.:

A-Local Anesthetics: B-Sulfonylurea drugs (Antidiabetic drug):


block sodium Na# influx through Block potassium K # channel in pancreatic
# #
Na channel in nerve fibers. (Na channel beta cells, resulting in depolarization and
Blockers) opening of calcium channels and insulin
secretion.
3-CARRIER MOLECULES:
Responsible for transport of ions and small organic molecules between intracellular
compartments, through cell membranes or in extracellular fluids. The drug binds to such
molecules altering their transport ability.

SUMMARY
Drug mechanism of action
antiacids Neutralization of gastric acidity
Neostigmine (cholinesterase inhibitor) competes with ACh for acetyl cholinesterase
enzyme at motor end plate (neuromuscular
junction).
Sulphunylurea (anti diabetic) block K+ outflux via the K channels in pancreatic
beta cells resulting in opening of calcium channels
and insulin secretion.
Digoxine ( drug of heart failure) blocks Na efflux via Na pump
Cocaine blocks transport or reuptake of catecholamines
(dopamine) at synaptic cleft
vincristine Anticancer agent
colchicine Drug for gout treatment
Atropine (anticholinergic) a drug that combines with a receptor without
producing responses. It blocks the action of the
agonist
Propranolol (Beta blocker) a partial agonist, produces less decrease in heart
rate than pure antagonists
