Understand the Basics of Pharmacology in a Click| Agonism-Antagonism Relation

Agonist: A substance that activates a receptor in the body, leading to a biological response. It mimics the action of a natural compound and promotes a specific effect.

Antagonist: A substance that blocks or inhibits the activity of a receptor in the body. It prevents the receptor from being activated by its natural ligand, thereby reducing or preventing a specific effect.

Partial agonist: A substance that activates a receptor but produces a weaker response compared to a full agonist. It has a moderate effect, often acting as both an agonist and an antagonist, depending on the context.

Inverse agonist: A substance that produces an opposite effect compared to an agonist. It reduces the basal activity of a receptor, leading to effects that are opposite to the natural action of the receptor's ligand.

These terms are commonly used in pharmacology and physiology to describe the interactions between substances and receptors in the body.
