4. Introduction to Drug Action Drug action refers to the biochemical and physiological effects that a substance exerts on the body or specific targets within the body . A term used to describe how a drug or other substance produces an effect in the body. For example, a drug's mechanism of action could be how it affects a specific target in a cell, such as an enzyme, or a cell function, such as cell growth.

8. Agonists and Antagonist Confidence-building strategies

9. Agonists: Definition : Agonists are substances that bind to and activate a receptor, mimicking the action of endogenous substances. In cosmetics, agonists are used to enhance specific biological processes in the skin or hair. Mechanism of Action: Agonists bind to receptors on target cells, triggering a cellular response. This could involve stimulating collagen production, enhancing hydration, or promoting skin renewal.

10. Agonists: Examples in Cosmetic Formulations: Hyaluronic Acid: Acts as an agonist by binding to receptors involved in skin hydration, plumping up the skin. Retinoids (e.g., Retinol): Agonists for retinoid receptors, promoting cell turnover and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Peptides: Act as agonists for collagen receptors, stimulating collagen synthesis and improving skin elasticity.

11. Antagonists Definition : Antagonists are substances that bind to a receptor but do not activate it, thereby blocking the receptor from being activated by other substances. In cosmetics, antagonists are used to inhibit specific biological processes. Mechanism of Action: Antagonists competitively bind to receptors, preventing agonists or endogenous substances from binding and triggering a cellular response. This can be used to block unwanted biological effects.

12. Antagonists Examples of Antagonists in Cosmetic Formulations: Tyrosinase Inhibitors: Definition: Tyrosinase is an enzyme involved in melanin production. Tyrosinase inhibitors block this enzyme, reducing melanin synthesis and thereby lightening skin pigmentation. Example: Hydroquinone is a well-known tyrosinase inhibitor used in skin lightening products to treat hyper pigmentation.

13. Antagonists Muscle Relaxants: Definition: Muscle relaxants in cosmetics temporarily inhibit muscle contraction, reducing the appearance of wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Example: Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a muscle relaxant antagonist used in cosmetic injections to smooth wrinkles on the face.

14. Antagonists Androgen Receptor Antagonists: Definition: Androgen receptors play a role in sebum production. Antagonists of these receptors reduce sebum production, helping to manage oily skin. Example: Spironolactone is sometimes used in topical formulations as an androgen receptor antagonist to control acne and oily skin. Histamine Receptor Antagonists: Definition: Histamine receptors are involved in inflammatory responses and can contribute to skin redness and irritation. Antagonists of these receptors help reduce these symptoms. Example: Diphenhydramine and other antihistamines can be used in cosmetic formulations to alleviate skin irritation and allergic reactions.

15. Antagonists UV Radiation Absorbers: Definition: UV radiation absorbers are substances that absorb or scatter UV light, preventing it from reaching and damaging skin cells. Example: Chemical sunscreen agents like avobenzone and oxybenzone act as antagonists by absorbing UV radiation, protecting the skin from sunburn and premature aging. Enzyme Inhibitors: Definition: Enzyme inhibitors block specific enzymes involved in biochemical pathways that lead to unwanted skin conditions. Example: Lipase inhibitors can be used in cosmetics to reduce fat breakdown in adipocytes, potentially aiding in cellulite reduction.

16. General Mechanism of Drug Action Receptor Theory

17. Receptor Theory Definition: The receptor theory of drug action explains how drugs interact with specific receptors on cells to produce their effects.

18. Receptor Theory Binding and activation Intracellular signaling pathways Impact on cellular function

19. Receptor Theory Binding of drug to receptor sites on cells Activation or inhibition of cellular processes Example: sunscreen agents binding to UV receptors to block damage

20. Receptor Theory Receptor Binding and Activation Process : Step 1: Binding: Drug molecules (agonists or antagonists) bind to specific receptors on cell surfaces or within cells. Step 2: Activation: Binding induces a conformational change in the receptor, leading to activation. Example: Cosmetic Example: Peptides in anti-aging creams bind to cell surface receptors involved in collagen synthesis. This binding activates signaling pathways that increase collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.

21. Receptor Theory Intracellular Signaling Pathways Signaling Pathway Components: Second Messengers: Small molecules like cAMP, IP3, or calcium ions that transmit signals from receptors to effector proteins. Kinases: Enzymes that phosphorylate target proteins, regulating their activity and gene expression. Transcription Factors: Proteins that control the transcription of specific genes, influencing cellular responses over time. Example: Cosmetic Example: Retinoids activate nuclear receptors in skin cells, leading to the transcription of genes involved in cell turnover and collagen production. This results in improved skin texture and reduced fine lines.

22. Receptor Theory Impact on Cellular Function Cellular Responses: Gene Expression: Drugs can alter gene expression patterns, leading to the synthesis of proteins that affect cell function and structure. Metabolic Pathways: Activation of receptors may influence metabolic processes such as lipid metabolism or cellular energy production. Ion Channel Activity: Some drugs modulate ion channel activity, affecting membrane potential and cellular excitability. Example: Cosmetic Example: Hyaluronic acid binds to receptors on skin cells, enhancing water retention and hydrating the skin. This improves skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
