Pharmacodynamics
What a drug does once it reaches its target: how tightly it binds, whether it activates, blocks or tunes a receptor, how it raises neurotransmitter indirectly, and how dose-response curves describe potency, efficacy and safety.
- Por qué importa
- Every drug in the course is described by a mechanism of action. Agonist, antagonist, modulator, reuptake inhibitor, enzyme inhibitor and releaser are the vocabulary for everything that follows.
- Podrás
- Name a drug's mechanism of action, predict what happens when it's combined with another drug or stopped suddenly, and read potency, efficacy and safety off a dose-response curve.
How drugs bind: affinity, shape and binding site
Explains what a drug physically does at its target: how tightly it binds (affinity), why its shape matters, where on the receptor it binds, and how long it stays.
