The Importance of Drug receptor is when we add Drug + Receptor we form this Pharmaceutical - Response which causes the drug to stay or metabolize in a finite or fix period of time which causes to avoid or lower the adverse effect of the drug.

The effect of a drug that is an agonist is to do what?
An agonist stimulates the receptor, whereas an antagonist blocks a receptor.
The target substance of a drug is called?
A receptor.
How would you change the pA2 for a drug-receptor pair?
The only way to change the pA2 would be to alter the nature of the receptor, because the pA2 is essentially a measurement of the affinity of the antagonist drug for the receptor. So, in order to change this value, one would need to change the receptor in a way that changes the binding affinity of the drug.
Is the theory that a drug attaches itself to speacialized cells the receptor site theory?
Receptor Site Theory
Which drug binds to the same receptor sites as the endorphins?
Heroin
What are the non specific drug effect?
Hase not specific receptor
What are the Antagonist in pharmacology?
Drug having defenite affinity to bind the receptor but, does not activate it (no intracelluler changes occur after drug receptor complex is formed), thus the receptor in other word is being blocked, and the the respective pharmacological response which was supposed to be occured by the binding of the agonist, does not occur.
Beta -2 receptor blockers belong to which drug classification?
Bronchodlator.
What is pseudo receptor?
A pesudoreceptor is a molecular binding pocket, and is one of the key structures in improving drug screening. This is made possible by a combination of ligand matching and receptor mapping which allows an entrance for the modeling that drug-screening projects require.
The effect of a drug that is an agonist is to?
An agonist binds to a receptor and stimulates it (turns it on). An antagonist binds to a receptor and blocks it from being activated by other molecules (turns it off).
which drug classification does a medication with a -sartan suffix belong?
Angiotensin ll receptor antagonist
Atropine is which type of drug?
Atropine is generally considered to be a cholinergic muscarinic receptor antagonist.
