Negative efficacy, by definition, efficacy is that property of a molecule that causes the receptor to change its behavior toward the biological host. Negative efficacy refers to the property of selective affinity of the molecule for the inactive state of the receptor this results in inverse agonism. Negative efficacy causes the active antagonism of constitutive receptor activity but is only observed in systems that have a measurably elevated basal response due to constitutive activity. It is a property of the molecule and not the system. 

Checking the literature of the second half of the 1980s for applications of crown complexes of arenediazonium salts for synthetic purposes, one gets the impression that these complexes are not widely used. The two comprehensive reviews by Izatt et al. (1985, 1991) show a definite decline of interest in host —guest complexation of arenediazonium ions in the second half of the 1980s. The subject of arenediazonium... 

Initially, it was assumed that the HlV-1 population is infinite, evolution is deterministic, and antiretroviral resistance development is definite (Coffin 1995). However, our research amongst others has demonstrated that the effective population size, defined as the average number of HIV variants that produces infectious progeny is relatively small (Leigh Brown 1997 Leigh Brown and Richman 1997 Nijhnis et al. 1998). This can be explained because the majority of virus particles that are produced harbor deleterious mutations resulting in noninfectious virus. Also limited target cell availability and inactivation of potentially infectious viruses by the host...

The question that emerges at the climax of this survey relates to the possibility of using crystalline inclusion phenomena for optical resolutions of molecular species. Can this be done effectively with suitably designed host compounds The definitely positive answer to this question has elegantly been demonstrated by Toda 20) as well as by other investigators (see Ch. 2 of Vol. 140). An optically active host compound will always form a chiral lattice. Therefore, when an inclusion type structure is induced, one enantiomer of the guest moiety should be included selectively within the asymmetric environment.
