Basic Principles of Pharmacology Pamela Flood
This chapter combines Dr. Stoelting’s elegant description of pharmacology with a mathematical approach first presented by Dr. Shafer1 in 1997, and most recently in Miller’s Anesthesia textbook.2,3 The combination of approaches sets a foundation for the pharmacology presented in the subsequent chapters. It also explains the fundamental principles of drug behavior and drug interaction that govern our daily practice of anesthesia.

The simple view of receptor activation also explains the action of antagonist. In this case, the antagonist (red) binds to the receptor, but the binding does not cause activation. However, the binding of the antagonist blocks the agonist from binding, and thus blocks agonist drug effect. If the binding is reversible, this is competitive antagonism. If it is not reversible, then it is noncompetitive antagonism.

The concentration versus EEG response relationship for four benzodiazepine ligands: midazolam (full agonist), bretazenil (partial agonist), flumazenil (competitive antagonist), and RO 19-4063 (inverse agonist). (From Shafer S. Principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. In: Longnecker DE, Tinker JH, Morgan GE, eds. Principles and Practice of Anesthesiology. 2nd ed. St. Louis, MO: Mosby-Year Book; 1997:1159, based on Mandema JW, Kuck MT, Danhof M. In vivo modeling of the pharmacodynamic interaction between benzodiazepines which differ in intrinsic efficacy.

The interaction of a receptor with an agonist may be portrayed as a binary bound versus unbound receptor. The unbound receptor is portrayed as inactive. When the receptor is bound to the agonist ligand, it becomes the activated, R*, and mediates the drug effect. This view is too simplistic, but it permits understanding of basic agonist behavior.

Receptors have multiple states, and they switch spontaneously between them. In this case, the receptor has just two states. It spends 80% of the time in the inactive state and 20% of the time in the active state in the absence of any ligand.

The action of agonists (A), partial agonists (B), antagonists (C), and inverse agonists (D) can be interpreted as changing the balance between the active and inactive forms of the receptor. In this case, in the absence of agonist, the receptor is in the activated state 20% of the time. This percentage changes based on nature of the ligand bound to the receptor.

The relationship between drug rate of metabolism can be computed as the rate of liver blood flow times the difference between the inflowing and outflowing drug concentrations. This is a common approach to analyzing metabolism or tissue uptake across an organ in massbalance pharmacokinetic studies. (From Shafer S, Flood P, Schwinn D. Basic principles of pharmacology.

The relationship between concentration, here shown as a fraction of the Michaelis constant (Km), and drug metabolism, here shown as a fraction of the maximum rate (Vm). Metabolism increases proportionally with concentration as long as the outflow concentration is less than half Km, which corresponds to a metabolic rate that is roughly one-third of the maximal rate. Metabolism is proportional to concentration, meaning that clearance is constant, for typical doses of all intravenous drugs used in anesthesia. (From Shafer S, Flood P, Schwinn D.

The volume of the central compartment of fentanyl is 13 L. The volume of distribution at steady state is 360 L. For a target concentration of 2 !g/L (dotted line), the dose calculated on V1, 26 !g, results in a substantial undershoot. The dose calculated using Vdss, 720 !g, produces a profound overshoot. Only a dose based on Vdpeak effect, 150 !g, produces the desired concentration in the effect site. The black lines show plasma concentration over time. Red lines show effect site concentration over time.

Propofol slide ruler to calculate maintenance infusion rate, based on the patient’s weight and the time since the start of the infusion, as proposed by Bruhn and colleagues (Adapted from Bruhn J, Bouillon TW, Ropcke H, et al. A manual slide rule for target-controlled infusion of propofol: development and evaluation. Anesth Analg. 2003;96:142–147.). To make use of the calculator, make a photocopy and cut in to top (body weight), middle (time since start of infusion/propofol target concentration), and bottom (infusion rate propofol 1%) sections—calculation requires sliding the middle piece in relationship to the top and bottom segments, which are fixed.
