Full agonist intrinsic activity

The value for intrinsic activity ranges from 1 for a full agonist to 0 for an antagonist, and the fractional values between these extremes represent partial agonists. Intrinsic activity is a property of both the drug and the tissue in which drug effect is measured. 

The term intrinsic activity (ia) was defined as a measure of the abiUty of the dmg—receptor complex to generate response. When ia = 1, a full agonist is defined when ia = 0, an antagonist is defined. Thus, values 0 < ia < 1 define partial agonists as follows, where R is the response to dmg and R is the maximum response achieved. 

The side chain and substituents on the amino group critically affect affinity for P-receptors, whereas the aromatic nucleus determines whether the compound possess intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA), that is, acts as a partial agonist (p. 60) or partial antagonist. In the presence of a partial agonist (e.g., pindolol), the ability of a full agonist (e.g., isoprenaline) to elicit a maximal effect would be attenuated, because binding of the full agonist is impeded. names. 

Intrinsic activity Intrinsic activity is the maximal stimulatory response induced by a compound in relation to that of a criven reference compound. This term has evolved with common use. It was introduced by Ariens as a proportionality factor between tissue response and receptor occupancy. The numerical value of intrinsic activity (alpha) could ran from unity (for full agonists, i.e., agonist inducing the tissue maximal response) to zero (for antacyonists). The fractional values within this ran denoting partial agonists. Arien-8 original definition equates the molecular nature of alpha to maximal response only when response is a linear function of receptor occupancy. This function has... 

Intrinsic activity is a variable that accommodates the observation that not all ligands are able to elicit a full response from the receptor. For full agonists, e is simply equal to 1.0 (Figure 5.22). In the case of partial agonists, e will be less than 1 and greater than 0. For an... 

Rm did not correlate with the intrinsic activity of agonists for their ability to attenuate adenylate cyclase stimulation (36).In that system, only the ratio of K./K appeared to correlate with the intrinsic activity ofLthe alpha-adrenergic agonists. Here, in anterior pituitary membranes constant proportions of both receptor states were evidenced but ratios of 30-200 were found for K./Km for a series of dopaminergic agonists despite the fact that these agonists all appear to display full intrinsic activity in their ability to inhibit prolactin secretion from pituitary cells.
