<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Mechanism of action ==<br /> This type of categorisation is from a [[Pharmacology|pharmacological]] perspective and categorises them by their biological target. Drug classes that share a common molecular [[mechanism of action]] modulate the activity of a specific [[biological target]]. The definition of a mechanism of action also includes the type of activity at that biological target. For receptors, these activities include [[agonist]], [[receptor antagonist|antagonist]], [[inverse agonist]], or [[selective receptor modulator|modulator]]. Enzyme target mechanisms include [[enzyme activator|activator]] or [[enzyme inhibitor|inhibitor]]. Ion channel modulators include [[channel opener|opener]] or [[channel blocker|blocker]]. The following are specific examples of drug classes whose definition is based on a specific mechanism of action:<br /> {{div col|colwidth=33em}}<br /> * [[5-alpha-reductase inhibitor|5-Alpha-reductase inhibitor]]<br /> * [[Angiotensin II receptor antagonist]]<br /> * [[ACE inhibitor]]<br /> * [[Alpha-adrenergic agonist]]<br /> * [[Beta blocker]]<br /> * [[Cholinergic]]<br /> * [[Dopaminergic]]<br /> * [[GABAergic]]<br /> * [[Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist|Incretin mimetic]]<br /> * [[Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug]] − [[cyclooxygenase]] inhibitor<br /> * [[Proton-pump inhibitor]]<br /> * [[Renin inhibitor]]<br /> * [[Selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator]]<br /> * [[Serotonergic]]<br /> * [[Statin]] – [[HMG-CoA reductase]] inhibitor<br /> {{Div col end}}</div>
