    Study Notes

    • Pharmacokinetics is not related to the ability of a substance to bind to a specific receptor.

    Pharmacodynamics

    • The term used to describe the ability of a substance to bind to a specific receptor is affinity.

    Agonists

    • Substances that have the same effect on the receptor as the endogenous ligand are called agonists.

    Drug Transport Mechanisms

    • Passive diffusion refers to the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of energy.

    Metabolism

    • Biotransformation refers to the process by which the body converts a substance into a more water-soluble form, typically for excretion.
