What is the difference between agonists and antagonists in drug-receptor interaction?
What is the difference between agonists and antagonists in drug-receptor interaction?
- Agonists produce a response, while antagonists block the actions of agonists (correct)
- Agonists block the actions of antagonists
- Antagonists produce a response
- There is no difference
What are some characteristics of drugs?
What are some characteristics of drugs?
- They should be toxic and harmful to normal physiological activities
- They should only be applied where not needed
- They should have maximal side effects
- They should have minimal side effects and no toxicity or harm to normal physiological activities (correct)
Study Notes
Protein targets for drug binding include physiological receptors, enzymes, ion channels, carriers, and structural proteins. Examples of drugs targeting these include sulfonylurea for ion channels, Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor for carriers, and vincristine for structural proteins. Drug-receptor interaction involves affinity and efficacy, with agonists producing a response and antagonists blocking the actions of agonists. Characteristics of drugs include minimal side effects, no toxicity or harm to normal physiological activities, and being able to apply only where needed. Common side effects of aspirin, antibiotics, and antidepressants include upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and allergic reactions.
