1. HOW DO DRUGS WORK BY INHIBITING ENZYMES?
KEY CONCEPTS:
• Enzymes catalyze the biosynthesis of products from substrates.
• Some drugs bind to enzymes and inhibit enzymatic activity.
• Loss of product due to enzyme inhibition mediates the
effects of enzyme inhibitors.
2. HOW DO DRUGS WORK BY BLOCKING ION CHANNELS?
KEY CONCEPTS:
• Ion channels allow ions to transverse the cell membrane
through a pore and down an electrochemical gradient.
• Some drugs bind to ion channels and physically
block the pore or cause an allosteric change
that closes the pore.
• Changes in the intracellular concentration of ions mediates
the effects of inhibitors of ion channels.

KEY CONCEPTS:

solutes across the cell membrane.

the effects of inhibitors of transporters.

TRANSDUCTION PROTEINS?
KEY CONCEPTS:

augment the signal transduction pathway and this
mediates the effects of the drug.

11. HOW DO DRUGS WORK BY ACTIVATING
CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS?
Footnote:
Most agonists attach to binding site on receptor for endogenous
agonist and trigger a response.
However, agonists may bind to remote site on receptor and cause
allosteric effects that increase the ability of an endogenous
agonist to bind to or activate the receptor.
12. HOW DO DRUGS WORK BY ACTIVATING CELL
SURFACE RECEPTORS?
KEY CONCEPTS:
• Cell surface receptors exist to transmit chemical signals from
the outside to the inside of the cell.
• Some drugs bind to cell surface receptors and trigger a response.
• Drugs in this group are called receptor agonists.
• Some drug agonists are actually the endogenous chemical signal,
whereas other drug agonists mimic endogenous chemical signals.
13. ARE DRUGS THAT ACTIVATE
CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS
CLINICALLY USEFUL?
Some important examples:
•Alpha1-Adrenoceptor Agonists for nasal congestion
(oxymetazoline [Afrin®]; phenylephrine [Neosynephrine®])
• Opioid Receptor Agonists for analgesia
(morphine; meperidine [Demerol®])
14. HOW DO DRUGS WORK BY ACTIVATING
NUCLEAR RECEPTORS?
Footnote:
Most agonists attach to binding site on receptor for endogenous
agonist and trigger a response.
However, agonists may bind to remote site on receptor and cause
allosteric effects that increase the ability of an endogenous
agonist to bind to or activate the receptor.
15. HOW DO DRUGS WORK BY ACTIVATING
NUCLEAR RECEPTORS?
KEY CONCEPTS:
• Nuclear receptors exist to mediate the effects of intracellular,
endogenous chemicals on gene expression.
• Some drugs bind to nuclear receptors and trigger a response.
• Drugs in this group are called receptor agonists.
• Some drug agonists are actually an endogenous chemical,
whereas other drug agonists mimic an endogenous chemical.
16. ARE DRUGS THAT ACTIVATE
NUCLEAR RECEPTORS

Some important examples:

replacement therapy in postmenopausal
women (conjugated equine estrogens [Premarin®])

19. HOW DO DRUGS WORK BY ACTIVATING ENZYMES?
KEY CONCEPTS:
• Enzymes catalyze the biosynthesis of products from substrates.
• Some drugs bind to enzymes and increase their enzymatic activity.
