Inverse agonism at G-protein-coupled receptors is a pharmacological concept with important consequences for the understanding of receptor mechanisms and drug action. This book reflects the state of thinking and debates with regard to inverse agonism. It holds the contributions of the tenth Esteve Foundation Symposium held in 2002.
This volume reflects the current state of thinking and debates with regard to inverse agonism. It constitutes the first book published on this issue and holds the contributions and recorded discussions of the 10th Esteve Foundation Symposium held in 2002. Inverse agonism at G-protein-coupled receptors is a novel pharmacological concept with important consequences for the understanding of receptor mechanisms and drug action. Since its first description in 1989 the concept of inverse agonism has dramatically changed the view on current and future medicines. Next to traditional agonists and antagonists the drug repertoire has been expanded now with a novel category of ligands, i.e. 'inverse agonists'.
