True False

there must be a complimentary fit between the ____ and the _____

t/f only one drug molecule can occupy a receptor at one time
True False

what are the four chemical bonds

what are the most common types of bonds between drugs and receptors?

which chemical bonds are weak and easily reversed?

t/f hydrogen bonds are generally stronger than ionic bonds
True False

what is the strongest type of bond?

what is a dental example of a covalent bond?

what kind of chemical bond is described as contributing to mutual attraction between molecules

drug molecules move in constant ______ motion, _____ then _____ the bond, then _____ again according to the ______ of the molecule and ______ from other drug molecules

the most common type of chemical bond between a drug molecule and receptor is?

when a drug molecule moves so close to its receptor that the attractive force between them becomes great enough to overcome the random motion of a drug molecule, the drug binds to the receptor, what is the phenomenon?

the affinity of a drug for a particular receptor and the type of binding that occurs is related to the drugs what?

can two drugs occupy one receptor at one time?

t/f drugs with good affinity have greater potency
True False

good affinity is directly related to what?

how is affinity expressed?

what is the dissociation constant of affinity?

what are drugs that have direct stimulatory effects on receptors called?

a _____ agonist produces a significant physiologic response when only a relatively small number of receptors are occupid

the ability of an agonist to interact with a receptor and initiate a response is the function of what?

when a small dose of a drug (_____) produces a desired effect the drug has good _______ and good _____ _____

a ______ agonist must be bond to many more receptors to produce the same effect as a _____ agonist

a _____ agonist has lower affinity and or lower intrinsic activity than a ____ agonist

a ______ agonist has affinity for the receptor but very low intrinsic activity

what kind of agonist will never produce the same effect as other agonists even with all receptors occupied?

the _____ and the _____ ______ of an agonist determine efficacy of a drug

what is the maximum response produced by a drug

additional doses would produce no further beneficial effect, what is this concept?

as with affinity of a drug for a particular receptor the efficacy of a drug is also related to what?

what is the lowest dose of a drug that will produce a measurable response called?

what is defined as the relative pharmacologic activity of a dose of a compound compared with a dose of a differenct agent producing the same effect

what is used to compare effect of two drugs

______ is related to the affinity of a drug to its receptor whereas ________ is related to the intrinsic activity of that drug once a drug receptor complex is formed

potency is related to the _______ of a drug to its receptor whereas efficacy is related to the ____ _____ of that drug once a drug receptor complex is formed

the term that describes the maximum response produced by a drug is?
