Drug Targets Pharmacology: Receptors, Ion Channels, Enzymes and Carrier Molecules All Explained

In this video, we take a detailed look at the different types of drug targets that are essential for the action of drugs in the body. We start with receptors, which are proteins that bind to specific molecules, such as hormones and neurotransmitters, and trigger a cellular response. We also explore G protein-coupled receptors and intracellular receptors. Next, we discuss ion channels, which are proteins that allow ions such as calcium and potassium to flow in and out of cells, and are targeted by drugs such as painkillers and anti-seizure medication. We also cover enzymes, which catalyze chemical reactions in the body and are often targeted by drugs such as antibiotics and anti-cancer drugs. Lastly, we delve into carriers, which are proteins that transport molecules such as glucose and amino acids across cell membranes and are targeted by drugs such as antidepressants. Throughout the video, we provide examples of drugs that target each type of drug target and explain how they work. Whether you're a student of pharmacology or a healthcare professional, this video is a must-watch to gain a deeper understanding of how drugs interact with the body.
