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.
In general, regardless of the neurotransmitter in question, and its mechanism of action, an agonist is an agent that increases the said neurotransmitter's activity. Examples of antagonists is a class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics.They act as dopamine antagonists which block excessive action of dopamine typically found in schizophrenia, amphetamine psychosis, etc. serotonin IS an agonist.I am not a biochemical expert.hat i have read is that for serotonin it is called antagonist and dompamine agonist. Some drugs that are often used in these regards are requip permax mirapex parlode dostinex neupro apolum sifrol, i dont' think those are SSRI's. and what all that really means is '. I don't know.
