Assignment task:
You will submit a concept map exploring the four agonists on the agonist spectrum (agonist, partial agonist, antagonist, and inverse agonist) in which you:
1. Describe the different characteristics of the four agonists and how each mediates distinct biological activities. Include proposed mechanisms and the receptor it is targeting.
2. Identify how the P450 enzyme system plays a role in the body's absorption, distribution, and clearance of medication.
3. Scavenge the literature after describing each agonist on the spectrum for research that is based on the medications in the table below.
Apply the medications to the appropriate agonist on the agonist spectrum in your Concept Map.
- Medications
- Oxycodone
- Brexpiprazole
- Haloperidol
- Naloxone
- Aripiprazole
- Amphetamine
- Risperidone
- Pimavanserin
