The Receptor Concept
The Nature of Drug Receptors
Drug Parameters: Affinity and Efficacy
The Langmuir Isotherm equation
Opioid receptor
Insulin receptor
Transmembrane receptor
Occupation theoryDrug effect is directly proportional to number of receptors occupied Drug effect ceases as drug-receptor complex dissociateAriens & Stephenson theory introduced terms of "affinity" & "efficacy" Affinity: ability of the drug to combine with receptor to create drug-receptor complex Efficacy: ability of the drug-receptor complex to initiate a responseAffinity “drug-receptor interaction” is governed by the law of mass action.In this theoryAgonist: drug with high affinity & high intrinsic activity Partial agonist: drug with high affinity & low intrinsic activityAntagonist: drug with high affinity & low intrinsic activityRate theoryThe activation of receptors is directly proportional to the total number of encounters of the drug with its receptors per unit time Pharmacological activity is directly proportional to the rate of dissociation & association not number of receptors occupiedAgonist: drug with fast association & fast dissociation Partial agonist: drug with intermediate association & intermediate dissociation Antagonist: drug with fast association & slow dissociationInduced fit theoryAs the drug approaches the receptor the receptors alters the conformation of its binding site to produce drug—receptor complex
From the Greek αγωνιστής (agōnistēs), contestant; champion; rival < αγων (agōn), contest, combat; exertion, struggle < αγω (agō), I lead, lead towards, conduct; drive
An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and triggers a response. Whereas an agonist causes an action, an antagonist blocks the action of the agonist and an inverse agonist causes an action opposite to that of the agonist.

Agonists
Partial Agonist
AntagonistAntagonists bind to receptors but do not activate them. This results in receptor blockage, inhibiting the binding of other agonists.
Inverse Agonist
Partial agonists do not activate receptors thoroughly, causing responses which are partial compared to those of full agonists
Full agonists are able to activate the receptor and result in a maximal biological response.
Inverse agonists reduce the activity of receptors by inhibiting their constitutive activity.
