Sample text

Structure of a typical G protein–coupled receptor Intracellular C-term IL1 IL2 IL3 (GPCR). All GPCRs consist of a long polypeptide chain of amino acids threaded through the cell membrane with seven transmembrane (TM) domains. These TM domains are arranged in α-helices composed of hydrophobic residues. The N-terminal of the receptor protein is outside the cell and the C-terminal is on the inside. Three extracellular loops (EL) and three intracellular loops (IL) are formed by this configuration. The protein in the cell membrane forms a circle with TM1 and TM7 in close proximity but is shown here in a two-dimensional view for clarity.

3-6). An example of an all-or-none effect is sleep or not-asleep when a sedative-hypnotic agent is given. With quantal dose-response curves, the ED50 is the dose that produces the observed effect in 50% of the experimental subjects. Quantal relationships can be defined for both toxic and therapeutic drug effects to allow calculation of the therapeutic index (TI) and the certain safety factor (CSF) of a drug. The TI and CSF are based on the difference between the toxic dose and the therapeutic dose in a population of subjects.

Steroid Membrane Transport Proteins Ligand-gated ion channels Diazepam and ondansetron Voltage-gated ion channels Lidocaine and verapamil Ion transporters Furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide Neurotransmitter transporters Fluoxetine and cocaine Other Macromolecules Membrane lipids Alcohol and amphotericin B Nucleic acids Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin The tendency of a drug to combine with its receptor is called affinity, which is a measure of the strength of the drug-receptor complex. According to the law of mass action, the number of receptors (R) occupied by a drug depends on the drug concentration (D) and the drug-receptor association and dissociation rate constants (k1 and k2): hormones diffuse through the cell membrane and bind to steroid receptors in the cytoplasm.
