Question

Drugs that bind to the receptor site and inhibit the natural function are called

• A. antagonists
• B. agonists
• C. enzyme inhibitors

Answer 1

The correct option is A antagonists

Antagonists and agonists act differently. Agonists combine with the receptor molecule and produce a biological response but antagonists combine with the receptors and inhibit their natural function. Enzyme inhibitors inhibits the catalytic activity of the enzyme.
