Agonist/receptor theories

Categorising drug action in terms of receptors is a central theme of pharmacology; the study of the
interactions between drugs and receptors at a molecular or biochemical level is known as
pharmacodynamics

1905 - Langley introduced the idea of ‘receptive substance’ – the part of a cell with which hormones
and transmitters interact



Lock and key hypothesis

1926 – Clark proposed that there is a reversible monomolecular reaction between acetylcholine and
its receptive substance; the receptive substance (receptor) only accounts for a small part of the cell

Receptor occupancy is related to drug concentration; response is related to drug concentration;
response is related to receptor occupancy; agonist + receptor = agonist-receptor complex/response



A + R -> AR

At equilibrium: from basic kinetic theory; agonist-receptor complex
concentration is proportional to [A] and [R]

The rate at which the AR complexes dissociate is proportional to the concentration of AR; in 3, the
constant is the dissociation constant, KA

KA = dissociation (equilibrium) constant for agonist A; Kaff = affinity constant for agonist A

Referring to the equation KA= [A][R]/ [AR]; high affinity=low KA and low affinity= high KA



Determining relationship of receptor occupancy (y) to [A], KA at equilibrium




If y = proportion of receptors occupied (where 1
= all possible receptors bound i.e., maximum
binding), binding as fraction of maximum binding

When y = 0.5 then KA = [A]



In a drug binding curve

When we express the concentration of agonist against occupancy, i.e., the
fraction of receptors that are bound (y), at y = 0.5, we can determine the KA

Relate the binding (occupancy/y) to the
response (EA/EM); response = binding

,y = proportion of receptors occupied by A

KA = dissociation constant for agonist A

[A] = concentration of A



Partial agonists

Drugs that bind receptors but inefficiently, therefore incapable of
giving maximal response (thus acts as an antagonist)

Ariens theory – response = α y; α = intrinsic activity; therefore,
response is equal to the intrinsic activity of a drug multiplied by y

At half maximal occupancy, a partial agonist yields a smaller response
because it has a smaller intrinsic activity



Model for efficacy

Many full agonists could elicit maximal responses at very low
occupancies – concept of receptor reserve; response does not
relate directly to receptor occupancy (can be expressed in
terms of efficacy – describes the strength of a single drug
receptor complex in evoking a response)

, Competitive antagonism

Agonist potency, pD2

Expressed like the pH system



Agonist + agonist synergy

Convergent signalling – different receptors; effect is
more than adding effects of 1 and 2




Additive effect

Common receptor




Full agonist + partial agonist – partial antagonism

Partial agonist A2 cannot reach maximal effect




Competitive antagonism

A + R -> AR – response; B + R -> BR – no response

Competitive antagonists can be quantitively understood by the amount of extra agonist we need to in
the presence of the antagonist, to restore the response (normally 50% of the maximal response);
calculate the dose ratio

, How to plot the slope of a graph where the intercept = 0

Straight line indicates parallelism – increasing
concentrations of B causes parallel shifts to the
right of the dose response

In log terms –

<- graph where y=mx

In a graph where the y intercept is not 0 –> y = mx + b




Antagonist occupancy (z)

Agonist occupancy = y



When DR = 10 then z = 0.9

Therefore when 1/10 of receptors are free, require 10x more A
