    Study Notes

    Drug Binding and Action

    • Affinity refers to a drug's ability to bind to a receptor, which is crucial for its function.
    • Intrinsic activity indicates a drug's capability to produce a biological effect once it binds to a receptor.

    Drug Classification Based on Intrinsic Activity

    • Agonist: Drugs that bind to receptors and activate them, producing a maximum response (+1).
    • Partial Agonist: Drugs that bind to receptors and activate them but produce a less than maximum response (between 0 and +1).
    • Inverse Agonist: Drugs that bind to receptors and induce an opposite effect compared to agonists (-ve).
    • Antagonist: Drugs that do not activate receptors but block or interfere with the action of agonists, having no intrinsic activity themselves (0).

    Summary of Intrinsic Activities

    • Maximum intrinsic activity (Agonist): Full response achieved when binding.
    • Submaximum intrinsic activity (Partial Agonist): Weaker response compared to full agonists.
    • Opposite action (Inverse Agonist): Reverses the effects of agonists.
    • No intrinsic action (Antagonist): Prevents receptor activation without direct activation.
