Agonists and Antagonists. An agonist is a drug that binds to receptors and thereby alters (stabilizes) the proportion of receptors that are in the active conformation, resulting in a biologic response. A full agonist results in a maximal response by occupying all or a fraction of receptors.t considers both drug action, which refers to the initial consequence of a drug-receptor interaction, and drug effect, which refers to the subsequent effects. The drug action of digoxin, for example, is inhibition of membrane Na + /K + -ATPase; the drug effect is augmentation of cardiac contractility.
Efficacy spectrum of receptor ligands. An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological 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.nverse agonists exert the opposite pharmacological effect of a receptor agonist, not merely an absence of the agonist effect as seen with antagonist. An example is the cannabinoid inverse agonist rimonabant. A co-agonist works with other co-agonists to produce the desired effect together.
