Question
Determine the CORRECT terms used in drug-receptor interactions with the appropriate responses. A. Difference in intrinsic abilities of two drugs bound to the same receptor to elicit an the effect is the Relative Potency. TRUE/FALSE B. Relative Affinity shows the relative position of drugs along the dose-response curve axis. TRUE/FALSE C. The comparison of the amount that causes therapeutic effect to the amount that causes toxicity is the Therapeutic Index. TRUE/FALSE D. Relative Efficacy determines the concentration of drug required to produce a certain degree of rightward shift in the presence of its antagonist. TRUE/FALSE E. Therapeutic Window is used to define limits of drug concentrations that provide therapeutic efficacy with minimal toxicity. TRUE/FALSE
Solution
A. FALSE. The difference in intrinsic abilities of two drugs bound to the same receptor to elicit an effect is known as Relative Efficacy, not Relative Potency.
B. FALSE. Relative Affinity refers to the strength of attraction or binding between a drug and its receptor, not the position of drugs along the dose-response curve axis.
C. TRUE. The Therapeutic Index is indeed a comparison of the amount of a therapeutic agent that causes the therapeutic effect to the amount that causes toxicity.
D. FALSE. The term that determines the concentration of drug required to produce a certain degree of rightward shift in the presence of its antagonist is known as the Dose Ratio, not Relative Efficacy.
E. TRUE. The Therapeutic Window is used to define limits of drug concentrations that provide therapeutic efficacy with minimal toxicity.
