Slow metabolisers
(UGTs),
Sulfonyl transferases (SULTs),
Thiopurine methyltransferases (TPMTs).
N-acetyltransferase genes, NAT1 and NAT2.
There are at least 3 major slow acetylator
NAT2 alleles, 2 of which are common in
Caucasians and one in Mongoloids.

and thioguanine hematopoietic toxicity

located to human chromosome 6 and several mutant alleles
Pharmacodynamics
Study of the biochemical and physiologic
Effect of Disease on PD
Up regulation of receptors
Down regulation of receptors
Decreased number of drug receptors
Drug Actions
Most drugs bind to cellular receptors
Initiate biochemical reactions
Pharmacological effect is due to the alteration
of an intrinsic physiologic process and not the
creation of a new process
Drug Receptors
Agonist
Drugs which alter the physiology of a cell by
Partial agonist
A drug which does not produce maximal effect
even when all of the receptors are occupied
Drug Receptors
Antagonists
Inhibit or block responses caused by agonists
Competitive antagonist
Competes with an agonist for receptors
High doses of an agonist can generally
overcome antagonist
Drug Receptors
Noncompetitive antagonist
Binds to a site other than the agonist-binding
domain
Induces a conformation change in the receptor
such that the agonist no longer recognizes
the agonist binding site.
High doses of an agonist do not overcome the
antagonist in this situation
Drug Receptors
Irreversible Antagonist
Bind permanently to the receptor binding site
therefore they can not be overcome with
agonist
