Mechanisms of Drug Action
• Action via non receptor
• Example: Antasida, normal saline for resuscitation, drug used for
constipation (stimulate water secretion)
• Action via receptor
• Ligand-Gated Ion Channels
• G-Protein Coupled Receptor
• Kinase-Linked Receptor
• Intracellular Receptor
Drug–Receptor Interaction
• The effects of most drugs result
from their interaction with
macromolecular components of
the organism (receptor).
• These interactions alter the
function of the pertinent
component and thereby initiate
the biochemical and
physiological changes that are
characteristic of the response to
the drug.

6. Inhibition
7. Direct chemical interaction
8. Competition at the site of action
Potentiation
• Potentiation can be additive or synergistic
and refers to an increase in the effect of
one drug as a result of a second drug or
nutrient.
• The increased pain relief experienced when
acetaminophen is combined with a
narcotic (Vicodin®, Lortabs®) illustrates a
positive example of this effect.
• Adding bananas, potatoes, and other foods
rich in potassium to the diet at the same
time a patient is taking a prescribed
potassium supplement (e.g., Kaon-Cl®)
would cause an additive food–nutrient
effect with a therapeutic purpose.
Inhibition
• Inhibition refers to the decrease of
effect when two substances have
opposite effects on a process.
• The decreased anticoagulant effect of
warfarin (Coumadin®) seen when
vitamin K intake is increased is a
negative example of this type of
interaction.
• Caffeine, a nonnutritive food
constituent, may oppose the
pharmacological effect of tranquilizers
Direct chemical interaction
• An example of a direct chemical interaction is the reaction
between dextrose and amino acids in parenteral nutrition. This
is the same reaction seen when meats are cooked and is known
as the Maillard reaction. The substrates involved tend to reduce
sugars and amino acids, and these factors limit the storage time
for parenteral nutrition solutions. The reaction results in a
darkening of the solution.
Competition at the site of action
• An example of competition at the site of action is best
illustrated by the effect of naloxone (Narcan®) on narcotics.
• Naloxone reverses the effects of narcotics at a receptor site.
This can be useful after surgery to reverse the effects of
intraoperative narcotics. Naloxone is also useful in the
treatment of narcotic overdoses.
