Question
Chapter 8.4, Problem 18CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The advantage of the specificity of drugs for a particular subtype of receptors.
Introduction: A particular pharmaceutical company designs the drugs according to the specificity of drugs for their receptors. The specificity of the drugs for their receptors and targets is very crucial for the proper functioning of the drugs.

- Alpha adrenergic antagonists compete with endogenous catecholamines for binding at alpha- 1 and alpha -2 receptors. Because norepinephrine and epinephrine cannot bind to a receptor that is occupied by an antagonist, the actions of catecholamines are inhibited.

Where is it expressed?arrow_forwardIn relation to Cushing’s Syndrome, a method that some scientists have used to treat the disease is to use small molecules that bind to, but do not activate, MC2R. This type of molecule is considered an antagonist. How can an antagonist bind to the same receptor as ACTH but not activate it ? a. The antagonist binds covalently while ACTH binds non covalently b. The antagonist is only partially complimentary to the binding pocket of MC2R c. The antagonist binds to ACTH and blocks it from binding to the receptor properly d. The antagonist is the exact same structure as ACTH but since it is synthetic it doesn’t workarrow_forward
