FIGURE 1.7 Key compounds synthesized to eliminate the efficacy (burgundy red) and enhance the affinity (green) of histamine for histamine H2 receptors to make cimetidine, one of the first histamine H2 antagonists of use in the treatment of peptic ulcers. Quotation from James Black [10]. 

Operational model, devised and published by James Black and Paul Leff (Proc. R. Soc. Lond. Biol. 220,141-162, 1983), this model uses experimental observation to describe the production of a physiological response by an agonist in general terms. It defines affinity and the ability of a drug to induce a response as a value of x, which is a term describing the system (receptor density and efficiency of the cell to convert an activated receptor stimulus into a response) and the agonist (efficacy). It has provided a major advance in the description of functional effects of drugs see Chapter 3.6 for further discussion. 

Resultant analysis, this procedure, developed by James Black and colleagues (Br. J. Pharmacol. 84,561-571, 1985), allows measurement of the receptor affinity of a competitive antagonist, which has secondary properties that obscure the receptor antagonism see Chapter 6.6 for further discussion.

John Champion patented in 1758 the process of producing brass and zinc from the common ore of zincblende (ZnS) or black jack (patent number 726). This ore had previously been considered worthless, but even with this advance it is obvious that metallic zinc was still far too expensive to use in brass production by direct mixing, a process which was patented by James Emerson in 1781 (no. 1297). Watson (1786), however, describes the use of zinc in the production of high-quality gilding brasses such as pinchbeck, tomback and Mannheim gold (see below).
