Message definition (Drug class)
== Mechanism of action ==
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:

* [[5-alpha-reductase inhibitor|5-Alpha-reductase inhibitor]]
* [[Angiotensin II receptor antagonist]]

* [[Dopaminergic]]
* [[GABAergic]]

Mechanism of action

This type of categorisation is from a 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, antagonist, inverse agonist, or modulator. Enzyme target mechanisms include activator or inhibitor. Ion channel modulators include opener or blocker. The following are specific examples of drug classes whose definition is based on a specific mechanism of action:
