Abstract
The fundamental assumption of pharmacology is that a relationship exists between a drug’s effect and its concentration. Pharmacodynamics is the study of the physiological and molecular effects that drugs exert on their recipients and the relationship between plasma drug concentration and drug effect. The therapeutic and adverse effects of drugs result from their interaction with the recipient’s molecular components, which cause biochemical and physiological changes in the recipient that are characterized as a drug’s response. An individual’s response to a given drug depends on a complex interplay between environmental and genetic factors.<p></p> Individual variability and genetic polymorphism may result in altered drug efficacy, an increased susceptibility to adverse drug reactions, or protection from adverse drug reactions. Pharmacodynamic pharmacogenomics is the study of altered response to drugs associated with genetic polymorphisms of genes encoding for drug targets and associated modifiers or key proteins. To highlight the growing importance of pharmacodynamic factors in pharmacogenomic-directed therapeutics, examples are given of the genetic variability of drug targets leading to altered drug response.
