Active site

● The specific area of the enzyme that binds the substrate and transforms it.
● It represents a small portion of the enzyme surface.
● It is a 3 dimensional entity containing amino acids residues from different
parts of the enzyme molecule.

Theories of drug activity


Once a drug molecule attaches to the receptor site it may either initiate a
response or prevent a response from occurring. This is similar to the lock and
key theory of enzyme action. Only ligands that fulfill all criteria for fitting into
the receptor can produce an effect. Some ligands can fit into the receptor site
but not perfectly and so will not produce a response. By doing this these
ligands prevent the original ligand from binding to the receptor and producing
a response.
Eg: To prevent the constriction of airway smooth muscles in asthmatic conditions
one can administer drugs that prevent the actions of the signaling molecules
causing muscle contraction.

Occupancy Theory
● This theory was Proposed by Clarke. It considers receptor-ligand interaction to be a
bimolecular interaction in which the receptor-ligand complex is responsible for the
biological effect. Clarke assumed that the effect of drugs were proportional to the
fraction of receptors occupied by the drug. For a maximum effect of the drug it has to
occupy all receptors. According to this theory the drug(A) interacts in a reversible way
with the receptor (R) and the formed complex (AR) gives rise to the effect.
● A+R ↔ AR → Effect
The rate of association =k1 [A][R]
The rate of dissociation =k2 [AR] within a certain period of time the same number of
molecules A will bind to and dissociate from the receptor.
At equilibrium the dissociation constant K=k1/k2=[A][R]/[AR]

Rate theory
● This theory was Proposed by Paton and Rang in 1965.The most important
factor in determining drug action is the rate at which drug-receptor
combination takes place. Paton proposed that the stimulus was produced
only when the ligand first occupied the receptor site. Stimulation does not
continue even though the site was still occupied. This is because the receptor
undergoes a second conformational change, which results in its inactivation.
As long as the ligand is bound to the receptor, the receptor is unable to
produce a further stimulus. As soon as the ligand disengages from the
receptor it returns to its original conformation. As a result, further stimulation
of the receptor can now occur.

Induced fit theory

● After combination the substrate induces a change in conformation of the


enzyme leading to an enzymatically active orientation of groups. The induced
fit is brought about by the intermolecular binding interactions that can take
place between the drug and the binding site. This is similar to enzyme
substrate binding but in this case no catalysed reaction follows binding.

Structure–activity relationship (SAR)
● Based on the observation that compounds with similar structures to a pharmacologically active drug
are often themselves biologically active. A study of the SAR of a lead compound may be used to
determine the parts of its structure that are responsible for its biological activity. This information
may be used to develop a new drug that has increased activity by selecting the structure with the
optimum activity, a different activity from an existing drug and fewer unwanted side effects. SAR
studies are carried out by making minor changes to the structure of a lead to produce analogues
and assessing its effect on biological activity.
● These changes may be classified as changing: the size and shape of the carbon skeleton; the
nature and degree of substitution; and the stereochemistry of the lead .The selection of the changes
required to produce analogues of a lead is made by considering the activities of compounds with
similar structures and also the possible chemistry and biochemistry of the intended analogue.
Changing the structure of the lead compound could result in an analogue that is too big to fit its
intended target site.
