An analog is a compound that has a similar structure to another compound, usually a drug, but may have slightly different properties. An agonist is a molecule that binds to a receptor and activates it to produce a biological response. In pharmacology, an analog may act as an agonist or antagonist at a receptor, depending on its specific interaction with the receptor.
