Published 09/03/2024 {{c1::Intrinsic activity }} of a drug is the ability of a drug to activate a receptor. 
Published 09/03/2024 intrinsic activity is a measure of {{c1::effectiveness}} of a drug. it is not the same as {{c1:: drug affinity}}
Published 09/03/2024 what types of effects can a drug have on its targets 
Published 09/03/2024 anatgonist can be either {{c1::competitive }} or {{c1::noncompetitive}}
Published 09/03/2024 while {{c1::competitive}} agonists can be overcome by adding more substrate to a reaction  (decrease potency) , {{c1::non-competitive}}…

Published 09/03/2024 some drugs are non-selective and do not need a {{c1::receptor}} because they act through x3 {{c2::ionic, osmotic, or local physical/chemical interacti…
Published 09/03/2024 a {{c1::blocker}} is any drug given that prevents a natural agonist from working optimally
Published 09/03/2024 full agonists bind to a receptor and produce {{c1::the max possible response (IA=1)}}. ex. {{c2::epinephrine, morphine}}
Published 09/03/2024 a partial agonist binds to a receptor but {{c1::does not fully activate the receptor (0<IA<1)}}. ex. {{c2::pindolol}}
Published 09/03/2024 an {{c1::antagonist}} drug binds to a receptor but does not activate it and therefore blocks the action of agaonist by occupying the receptor (IA=0). …
Published 09/03/2024 an {{c1::inverse agonist}} binds to a receptor and decreases its activity. (IA = -1). ex. {{c2::diphenhydramine}}
Published 09/03/2024 Competitive antagonists can be overcome by {{c1::increasing}} ligand concentration but it also leads to {{c2::decreased}} potency.
Published 09/03/2024 Non-competitive antagonist leads to {{c1::decreased}} efficacy and {{c2::cannot be overcome}} because they are not fighting for the same binding spot&…
