Molecular pharmacology :
 Molecular pharmacology is concerned with studies of
basic mechanisms of drug actions on biological
systems.
 The idea that drugs act upon specific sites (receptive
substance) began with John New Port Langley (18521926) of Cambridge.
 However the word ‘receptor’ is given by Paul Ehrlich
(1854- 19 15).
 The receptor concept which forms a key note in the
development of molecular pharmacology became
firmly established by the quantitative work of Alfred
Joseph Clark (1885-1941), a professor of
pharmacology at Kings College London.
Receptor (key element)
 In addition to its usefulness for explaining
biology, the receptor concept has important
practical consequence for


The development of drugs
Arriving at therapeutic decisions in clinical
practice.
Receptors:
 Largely determine the quantitative relations
between dose or concentration of drug and
pharmacologic effects
 Are responsible for selectivity of drug action
 Mediate the actions of pharmacologic
antagonists
Macromolecular nature of drug receptors
 Regulatory proteins
 Enzymes
 Transport proteins
 Structural proteins

The dose-response relationship (from C.D. Klaassen, Casarett and Doull’s Toxicology, 5th ed., New York: McGraw-Hill, 1996).
Relation between drug
dose & clinical response
Drugs are described based on the
magnitude of two properties:
1. Affinity for the receptor. Affinity is related to
potency.
2. Efficacy once bound to the receptor.
Efficacy refers to the maximal effect the drug
can elicit.
Agonists and Antagonists
 AGONIST - Has affinity for receptor and efficacy.
 ANTAGONIST - Has affinity but no efficacy.
 Competitive Antagonist

Noncompetitive Antagonist
 Partial Agonist or Partial Antagonist –
 Has affinity but lower efficacy than full agonist.

Inverse agonist
Inverse agonist can exist where an appreciable level of
activation may exist even when no ligand is present
For example: receptors for benzodiazepines, cannabinoids
and dopamine
Under such condition it may be possible for a ligand to
reduce the level of activation. such drugs are known as
inverse agonist

Inverse agonist has
more affinity to receptor
Partial agonist has a little

more affinity for receptor in R’
equilibrium toward more
states than R state and makes
LR and make negative

response than resting
state.
Possible mechanism for the partial agonist phenomenon.
